Yes, they claim that the bandwidth gets used up. I'm sure that if everybody decided to stream at once (we have about 100 employees) that the internet line would come to a crawl ... but hey, I just wanna listen to my tunes!!!!

Hey man,

So you work at XM in DC? That's very cool. Is it a good place to work?

I didn't even know there were 149 versions of Oye Como va. Why doesn't someone record one and make it an even 150? Wait, are you sure you guys didn't miss one :laugh:

I actually work for the company who created XM's media asset management system. I'm based out of XM, but I do work for several other TV and radio stations around the world who use our software. I'm thankful I don't work for XM because folks are getting laid off left and right due to the merger with Sirius.

and Last.FM is AMAZING.
