Could anyone point me in the direction of a reliable, fast, all-the-bandwidth-you-can-serve... webhost? A relatively large client is looking to stream pounds upon pounds of music via Flash.

Version: I'm actually looking for something that a relatively large record label can use to serve high volumes of music.

Unmetered bandwidth does not exist, you can get a lot of bandwidth, but eventually you'll need to pay $$$

i use yousendit for giganto files but i don't think that's really what you're looking for. in case it is:

Well, ya, in actuality there is no such thing as unlimited bandwidth; I realize that.
But some kind of high-volume file serving host would be really good...

if it's a record label, chances are they have the money, so possibly Akamai. if it's lower budget, mp3 streams can be streamed slower than video files, so just plop it on a high volume dreamhost server. they offer packages that let you consume multiple TB's a month

Check out Candylogic.com. We've used them in the past for single data-center location hosting for high bandwidth video distribution. Good rates and decent support.

Use a CDN (Amazon S3 is an example) for the music, regular host for the rest.
