    10 TERABYTES!? that is allot of music.

    basically if they are that huge, i dont think you will find a cost effective solution other than having dedicated server possibly from everyones favorite hosting company MediaTemple. or have your own servers hosted in a co-location center

    Now i have to ask. for that much data transfer i would have to guess that it is not just the website? is there a FTP site that they use internally to transfer uncompressed audio and artwork to? if so then there is absolutely no reason for that to be on there Website. they should have a server at their location and at least a T-1 line for that type of use.

    Let me know if you have any more questions and i would be glad to help
