Do you really want to reinvent the wheel? there are lot's of
applications to use for streaming MP3's. I can not imagine that you can
just at random put a part of a file on the web and expect it to be
handled properly.
While you might get lucky with the first section of a file in some cases
(as this contains a file header which describes the file type) it will
most likely fail when you get a part of the file without the header as
it then only is a stream of unrecognizable binary data.
If you use Apache you might want to consider mod_mp3. Or if you have
perl available you might be able to use Apache::MP3.
If you are on a Linux server to which you have system administrator
rights you may be able to use some of these tools:
