looks like they are using notebook drives, that's where the space limitation comes from. But it seems to me that this y2mp3 thang is more of a 'dynamic content repository'. If you were listening to it @ work, eventually even your 15 gigs would get played out. not for you of course, you can listen to that shit all day long, cause it's YOUR SHIT. This is Different- this mp3 server is meant to serve groups of people. think of it as a way to assault the entire office with "I'm an Asshole", or Eric Cartmans "Come Sail Away", and put something new on there the next day that's even more obnoxious.. I think alot of you are missing the idea here with what this company is trying to do. everyone is listening to 2 shitty radio stations and countless cubicle thumpers @ work. Imagine all the people..sharing what they consider to be good music, that everyone in the 'community' might enjoy. people who don't know squat about mp3's will be 'doin it' from their browser, without a soundcard, without a 15 gig collection, without the thisamp or thatamp. but they can cue up "If i was fuckin you" by ice cube..followed by the theme to the Macguyver. Isn't that more interesting than listening to commercials between the crap radio programming they are playing now @ work? If I had one of these- each week i would be uploading new stuff, and removing the old, I'd always have a backup on my 20 gig desktop drive (barring some good porn or VCD does not fight for space)to listen to it later.
OK, People... This is not a STREAMING server. You plug it into your stereo, and then plug it into ethernet- crank the volume up so EVERYONE CAN HEAR IT;) The machine serves web pages that let you choose what music is to be played next, on the stereo. NOT the client. Get it? no mp3's flying across the network to be played in this or that cubicle. They get uploaded, and then they get played, in one place, on the server... BTW -got to love ones that tell ya how simple something is, beware the guy who snaps "oh that...that's easy"

didn't they say similar things of the first xerox machines?
