i like to stream Mp3 on my LAN, and usually when i open a remote session to my local music server, it's obvious that the music coming from this remote computer and played on my laptop sounds quite "smothered",it's almost as if the bitrate has been cut down, no matter what the original bitrate was. That's quite dissapointing, i have specified "LAN/10Mbits +" in the advanced option of the console and most of the time i hardly use 10% of this bandwith, even when streaming Mp3 files....

Is there any way to improve sound quality (or restore it to its former quality) ?
 
Terminal Services/Remote Desktop is NOT intended to be a jukebox or media server. Users that require rich streaming video or audio should have PCs

Try setting up a server on the computer(s) that you would like to play music from and create a share on them for your music. Use IIS (Internet Information Services) to do this. IIS is included with Windows XP Professional. Just go to control panel, then Add or Remove Programs, Add/Remove Windows Components, then check the Internet Information Services checkbox. Press next and follow the on-screen instructions

To download IIS 4 for Windows 95, 98, 98SE, and ME (9x) and maybe Windows 2000 and XP Home Edition

You can download IIS4, Formerly called Personal Web Server (PWS) from Microsoft.com. Just search for Personal Web Server and click on Download Windows NT 4.0 Option Pack under Downloads. Select your Operating System, and provide them instructions. Then you can download the files required for the Installation

I am not sure if Windows XP Home Edition or Windows 2000 is compatible with IIS 4, but there's no harm in trying.
