I know this is old, but i cant find a good answer, how, exactly, do you connect a completely unmodded xbox 360 to said shoutcast server?
Modding has nothing to do with it. If you connect your 360 to your network and run shoutcast, when you go into your music library on the 360 console you should see shoutcast listed as one of the sources. I'm not using shoutcast but 2 days ago there was a press release about Jamcast in the news section here. It does exactly what you want and it took me 5 minutes to setup. It also lets you play DRM resticted files. Here's a link to the thread about it.
