Re: Re: Multi source, Multi zone audio software. How?




Another option is the J-River Media Center,

http://www.jrmediacenter.com

I use it quite extensively.  Allows you to stream different things to
different sound cards, and you can (legally) run multiple instances of
Media
Center on multiple PCs.  Can stream to sound cards,  or,  with the new MC11
and the UpnpAV plug-in,  various devices such as the soundbridge.  Using
"Girder" you can control the auto in the different zones
independtaly from a
limitless supply of sources,  such as IR or even just hardwired!
