Mine's not that large either...I guess if gathered all
of it off of my three servers, I would have about
10-12 gigs...(with his 27 gigs at 320kbps, that gives
about 3,000 songs. Mine are recorded at 120 and
160kbps, gives me about 3,500 songs)
I'm one of those lucky ones. I run windows and I
stream my MPs from 3 different servers (three
different serving 3 different styles of music.
Mod/Punk, New Age/Classical, Electronica).
I'm running WinAmp from a custom server applet by
AnalogX. On win2K servers, this is quite a stable app
(for those interested, I'm also running SQL 7.0, and
Cold Fusion 4.5)
Unfortunatly, I can't point anyone to these servers
because they are in a DMZ that isn't very DMZ like
(it's more like an "MZ"...they don't even allow FTP in
the network)
I would run it from my DSL connection, but at 144kbps,
it's not that feesable!
