I have a few questions about the setup of an mp3 radio stream

What’s the difference between all of these? And what are their meanings?

1.) /;stream.mp3 [What exactly does the ; semicolon signify after the / slash?]

2.) Also, what’s the difference if I take off the [stream.mp3], and just leave the semicolon after the slash [/;] or if I leave [stream.mp3] attached?

3.) /stream [How come this one has only [stream], and that’s it. [There’s no **;**semicolon after the / slash and there’s no [stream.mp3] ?

2.) http://live.kickfm.eu:8000/;
http://live.kickfm.eu:8000/;stream.mp3

3.) http://188.165.195.176:8004/stream

5.) Why would one stream be able to work without a semicolon, and why would one stream need to have one?

4.) http://91.223.18.205:8000/c11_4? [icecast] Why does this one have a [?] question mark at the end [and what does that signify?]
