Streaming MP3s on Demand?

Posted by Cliff on Thursday March 25, 2004 @10:40PM from the be-your-own-radio dept.

The Human Cow asks: "My computer teacher lets us listen to music while we code, but the 150 MB network drive limit kind of puts a damper on the variety of music I have access to. CDs and MP3 players are too much of a hassle to keep up with, so I started wondering if there was any way to set up a streaming radio station that was controllable from a remote PC. I looked at Shoutcast again to see if there was some option that I missed, but I didn't find much. Not having any luck on Google, I've decided to turn to you guys. Does anybody know of a program that'll let me set up a playlist at home and then remotely control it from school? Streaming MP3s on demand, maybe?"

It depends on if "home" really means "back in the dorm rooms". If so, the school will never care, because internal bandwidth at EDU's is usually nigh-unsaturable.

Maybe if you spent less time scolding kids and more time coding or problem solving, then you wouldn't be such an asshole.
