During a slow hour off the desk, I finally turned on some streaming audio from Naxos Library. The featured music all seemed to be classical except for Snack Time by Barenaked Ladies. I do enjoy classical music, but somehow the day seemed to call out for Barenaked Ladies. I enjoyed listening for a while, despite occasional static and some abrupt stops when mouse-clicking in other applications. If you are not a music purist, you can probably live with the glitches for a time, but eventually you may reach your tolerance limit. I am going to try this at home and compare the sound quality.
I did wonder how much bandwidth I was claiming. (While I was streaming, were patrons screaming?) A colleague here was watching a Skillsoft video online this fall and later found out that her web activity had slowed the patrons' computers to a crawl.

Have you tried Pandora yet? It is a lot of fun. I'm hoping it doesn't get shut down. It has plenty of popular music. The bonus is if you wear your headphones while at your desk, people will think you are training and leave you alone!
Oh, and I forgot to mention you can stream WRNR, our local radio station!
