windows media player doesn't suport "auth" stream(with out some major fiddling), use vlc for it
also, you can do it with html coding and a playlist file. have you ever herd of a "*.M3U"?
A m3u is a pre made cod elist of songs you put there via program or notepad...
using a msu file helps stream multiple files, and can put authentication in the file itself, so you create a list of music and put it in a m3u file the m3u become the single file that you play on a media player...
( yes these are going over music, but video formats also port over with them... )

Don't Feed the Lawyers:
You could be fined for broadcasting music/movies you don't own the copyright to, and in most cases the penalties are pretty severe. There are also plenty of rabid music industry lawyers with a history of going to great lengths to prosecute copyright violators. That said, be careful how you distribute your streams.
Some of the software solutions listed here have built-in password protection. Otherwise, you'll have to know some SSL and/or password protection web hosting configurations to lock down your stream.
Your other option -- and probably the safest -- is to just keep your station under wraps. You can listen to it freely, but don't go spreading the word. Remember, the internet has ears!
