Hi
I have been trying to set up
similar
i.e.
my aim is dedicated mp3 file server, though for cost reasons it'll be
a
general file server until I get richer :-)
with other PC's on LAN
able
to play from this server. I have not yet
deployed the rig yet but my
experiments on 3 PC peer to peer
are all done.
I use a
player/ripper
called musicmatch jukebox. I think I got it from
MP3.com
The mp3
files are held on the server (obviously) which is called Wurlitzer
each
client pc has to have the server drive mapped to it ( I map to drive
M:
for
music)
when the mapping is done a music library is created on the
client,
you can
choose all or some of the files you created.
assuming the
server
is 24/7 and you choose reconnect to mapped drive on boot
up for client,
you've instant access to your music from any PC.
I haven't yet
worked
out what to do when files are added to the server, I
think each client
library file will have to be updated.
hope this
helps
Andrew
PS I want something like the Dell player to
connect
to my audio, the one
down side of PCs playing music or DVD for that
matter,
is:
I can hear the fan :.-(
