I'm sure a single HDD could handle dozens of streams if necessary. The disk loads the songs in to RAM much faster than they can play. Don't even worry about it.

Actually, RAID 5 has to write extra parity data whereas RAID 0 does not. If you had 3 drives in RAID 0 and 3 identical drives in RAID 5, the 0 array would perform better. RAID 0 should not be used...
