Streaming music over my wifi

[Mart61]

Hi guys

Very off topic this. I want to wireless transmit music from my PC to my HiFi in the next room.

I have a Netgear WPN824 wireless router.

Can I do it and what do I need to buy to hook up to my hifi to receive the tunes?

Cheers.

You could use Windows Media player to stream, and something like a Pinnacle Soundbridge (Use to be Roku)

Hmmm, i saw a kit, I think on DABS for this very purpose. Wait a mo I'll see if I can find it.

Or build a multimedia PC ;)

Soundbridge eh? Sounds good.

My PC isn't really mutlimedia but it does the job OK. Built more for photography than films.

:D

Or linksys music bridge, there are multimedia wifi streaming devices, where you plug it in the hi-fi and stream you videos, photos and music to it.

Just got to find one,. I know CPC do them :)

Martin, If you are using iTunes then Apple Airport Express is deffo worth a look.

Excellent sound, dead easy to set up (Mac or PC), easily joins any WiFi network not just Apple Airport, useful on the road to make a local WiFi network from any ethernet connection to the web, useful as USB printer bridge too.

We use a PS3....well will do again once the insurance company replacement arrives (hopefully tomorrow) after some scally robbed it a few weeks ago! The added benefit of some gaming and a Blu Ray DVD also.

We have a 'twonky media server' installed on the Network Attached Storage box (which has media server capability) though I assume you could also install the twonky on a PC...you can tell it was my other half that set it up!

If you have an Xbox v1 either modchip or softmod. Then in stall Media center. I've been using it for past 6 years!!
It will stream movies/most if not all audio formats and radio Radio 1 so on. Get weather! football results(why!!) and can play games!! but i don't :D

or if yu have Nintendo Wii that will do it but early doors but will stream Mp3/video off pc. Thats only a softmod so very cheap! Pretty easy to do

hi mate,
ive installed [URL="http://www.sonos.com"]sonos[/URL] around my house, you will need deep pockets though mine cost me 1300 quid, you can connect it to existing amplifiers or have it stand alone with speakers and the controller which accesses the music files on your pc all wireless, a zonebridge plugs into your router and really simple to setup ill love it mate

speakers in the kitchen and dining room and eventually in my bedroom

Have to agree, modded my xbox and stuck XBMC (xbox media center) on there, quite a powerful peice of software, either use it as an application or dashboard (main OS)
