Do you hear what I hear?

Office Filter: I need to listen to music while working. However, we cannot use streaming music at my job. Also, I work in a cave and traditional radio gets no signals. I don't own a ton of music and really like Pandora and various NPR stations. Bringing my iPod to work is not really an option because I don't have a great music collection. I really enjoy listening to radio because of the variety and getting to hear stuff that I don't own.

How can I get music at work that is not streaming and radio like? Do HD radios have a stronger signal?

I used to listen to WXPN, KEXP, Pandora, NPR feeds all day long at my old jobs, but now I am without.

I never really figured out the podcast thing with my iPod. I'd end up with very disproportionate amounts of the various shows, like 3 hours of NPR and then 2 podcasts of music. I don't really have the patience to sit there and put 2G of podcasts on one by one.

Ideas, musical/podcast mefites?

Streaming music to Xbox 360

NewXboxExperienceFilter: How can I change the music I am listening to without going back to the dashboard? With the old dashboard you could access any of the music you wanted and switch albums or tracks as you pleased without exiting out of a game. I can't figure out how to do this with the NXE. Did they remove this feature?

For the record I am streaming mp3s from my MacBook Pro using Connect360.

What are some of your favorite choices for finding streaming music on the internet? I'm particularly interested in 20th century composers.

Wireless home theater, possible?

In considering the home entertainment setup for the house I've just purchased, I'm looking for suggestions and advice on going wireless and streaming music from a PC to, well, everywhere. How best to do this? The main PC doing the work can be located anywhere, but I'd sure like some sort of control over what's playing in each of the main locations. Stereo in the living room, maybe some small speakers in the kitchen and upstairs... whatever. Your experience and product recommendations, please.

How to Create Playlist for Large Number of RealAudio Tracks?

How can I download/listen to a large number of streaming music tracks (ram format) without having to click each link individually and wait for each song? [mi] I am taking a class, which has a long list of songs we are supposed to listen to every week. The instructor has posted these songs online, available in streaming *.ram format. I am currently using Media Player Classic (unicode build) to listen to each song individually. I am unable to set up the individual stream files back-to-back in WMP classic, nor am I able to download all the songs, so I can listen to them without having to click every three minutes.

Any suggestions for programs/techniques which will let me download/listen to the whole week's worth of songs consecutively without having to click each file individually?
