Digital music: Music Server Set-Up
Music Server Set-Up
by thennig - 12/31/08 7:51 AMI would like to know if anyone created a music server system and how you did it. I use iTunes as my software and my media pc (not really a media pc, but it’s hooked up to the TV…. it's very old) as the music server. I have the pc hooked up to my surround sound receiver (Yamaha THX). I ripped all my CDs lossless (best sound available). I did buy a digital sound card for my pc so I can run a digital cable from the pc to the receiver. One other note… I use a master iTunes index file and replace that file on all my computers so it’s playing the same music list and accessing the music server.

It was too much work and the latency issues that happen make this a dead end. Those that haven't done this will have to try it before it all becomes clear.
How did we do it? We used VLC (VLC media player - the cross-platform media player and streaming server) and that was that.
Fast forward to today and we just pop the content onto an iPod and place that in the dock.
