I am desiging a music server on my home computer and would like to add software to my laptop so that when I am in the air I have my own IFE. So I want to have software such as Real Audio that can control the playlist to do it AVOD and another portion of the software to run different music channels to my laptop.

So what would you suggest? What is the internet speed that I can attain in the air? Will my software buffer a lot due to the slow speed?

Do you have ideas of how to setup a music server and have remote listening stations so that I can access it via a ftp or password controll so only friends and i can listen to it so the bandwith wont be lost?

Thanks
