playing mp3 on Home Theater?

puppetmaster · 01-07-2005, 09:22 AM

Please help if you can.

I have all my mp3 on my computer and would like to play them on my receiver. What is the best way?

Here is some backgound information. I would like to do this wireless. My computer and receiver are in different rooms. I would like to do it wireless so I can(could) control it from a notebook anywere in the house. I would also like to interface it with my tv if possible. I have a new dell and I'm using dell jukebox.

I don't want to spend to much money, if I can do this for 100-200 dollars that would be great.

I don't know much about this area so any examples or stories would be very helpfull.

Thank you

I have not checked out wireless media centers. Do you have or does anyone have any experience with these wireless media centers?

Thanks

I'm curious about this also, would there be any delay in the sound? Is it going to be running through the wireless router?

I'll read up on it, but does anyone have any personal experience?

How well does it play video? if I have an mpeg how is it going to display on a normal TV? Will the text be fuzzy and unreadable?

This is a possobility and within your price range.

Airport Express

Though I have no idea how you can integrate your tv into this through wireless means. It will probably surpass your budget unless you have another computer or server connected to your tv.

and look for "AirPort Express"

AirPort Express with AirTunes is an incredible wireless product that allows you to play iTunes music over your wireless network to your home stereo or powered speakers. It also allows you to share both a broadband Internet connection for up to 10 users and a USB printer1. If you already have wireless at home, powered by an AirPort Express or AirPort Extreme Base Station, you can easily extend the range of your wireless network by connecting a second AirPort Express to it. AirPort Express has a small unique design made for life on the go. There are no separate power supplies or cables required, making it easy and convenient to take with you. AirPort Express is also designed to fully support both Mac and PC users
