#6 Streaming music

I'll skip talking about the RSS module for another day or so and jump ahead to the streaming music exercise. This was really easy to set up, but it took me a few minutes to realize that it was working but I wasn't hearing it. The shared computer I usually use had been set to 'mute' so I sat waiting for the music to start and almost dozed off. When I woke up and figured out to turn on the sound it was pretty amazing how easy it is to create customized 'stations'. I know at the last place I worked they discouraged listening to music over the Internet supposedly due to band width limitations. Is this really a concern depending on the connection, or was it just a management mind control issue?
