RE: Office Mp3 streaming

["Malcolm Surgenor" <malcolm@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I want to do something similar to Ho Yin but I think it's the reverse (and
on a smaller scale).  I thought I could do it with Shoutcast and Winamp but
I can't get it working.  Basically I have one PC (A)  that contains all the
songs in one room and it's that, connected to an amp and speakers that I
want to listen to the music from. I can't easily access PC A to select
songs.    I have two other PCs on the network (B and C) that I'd like to
use
to select the songs to play on A.  I thought I'd use Winamp on B and C to
do
that but what happens is that Winamp tries to play them on B or C
(depending
which one I run up).  What's the simplest way of achieving what I want?

I have used wmencoder in the past to stream a live audio across a
network in the past.

You can do the same with video but I have never tried it.

Just had an idea .. that I think should be possible but not sure where
to
start so I thought I might run it by you guys first before I make a fool
of
myself!

Everyone in my office complains that either they can't hear the music or
it
is too loud.

We all have new computers in the office with sound cards so I was
thinking
of doing the following.

One computer streams music to all the computers and each computer can
output the sound through their own speaker.

Would this work? Or would it kill the network? We are on a 100mbit
switch.

So I am looking for a software that would run on the PC. Something nice
and
simple at the front end so that people could pick songs and perhaps
queue
them up on the playlist through a webbrowser or something.

It needs to be really easy to use.

Is this possible? What should I look at first? Xlobby? Does this do
streaming?

Thanks!

Ho Yin
