Looks like you have the wrong IP address in the iptables command.  Is is
112 or 12?

Also note that your other machines behind the firewall will be unable to
connect to the MP3 server through the firewall.  They should either
contact the MP3 server directly, or you can add some SNAT lines to make
everything work properly.
