What software would a grid owner need to host a music streaming service on their servers? The plan is to make it convenient for a region owner to rent stream(s). The software should allow scaling up capacity to meet the demand (understanding that the bandwidth needs to adjusted as needed.

I'm have Icecast running on my Linux machine. It can have multiple streams running at once.

I found this that may help setting up multiple instances of Icecast to allow each user to have unique login details.

I'm not really clued up enough to provide much more detail. Though I know one user/instance can have multiple streams running simply by starting each stream with a unique mount point.
I only have one Icecast server running, but if I login from my Mixxx DJ program from multiple machines and give each one a unique mount point in the DJ program they will both be listenable on the same port. The URL's are identical apart from the last part which can be anything you specify as the mount point in the DJ program. So for example on one machine the mount is /stream and the other machine the mount is /stream2
The URL to listen is the same apart from the end which is either /stream or /stream2.
I assume if you setup multiple instances then each instance can have have unique login details, but would need to be on separate ports.
I often wondered how those stream rental places in SL automatically generate a username and password on the fly. I assume they have some lsl script that talks to their server and has another script that configures the icecast server automatically and passes the randomly generated login details back in world.
Sorry I can't be more helpful.

Thx. I have a question about Mixxx for myself. I have about 1TB of music files and I can't find a way for Mixxx to save its files with the tempo and key of songs on an external drive. Is it possible?

Have you added the external drive location to the Library?
CTRL+P then Library and ADD, then select the folder/s to monitor on your external drive.
For me when I have scanned BPMs on the external drive and I use "Tracks" to browse the library, the BPMs show correctly.
If I use Computer/Removable drives to browse just the external drive then they don't seem to show. Not sure why though.
