Heres what I fancy doing.
Want a central music server with, preferably, uncompressed audio but WMA or MP3 may have to do. Want to be able to access this music in main system using a graphical interface on TV or on PocketPC. Also want to access this in Kitchen and in Study. Control in Study can be from PC, control in Kitchen from some other method.
I was thinking of a Roku plugged in to local mini system in Kitchen?
Old PC formatted and used just as music server in study?
Not sure about how to do the control etc from PDA or if its necessary if there is something that can access the music and have an OSD (perhaps modding XBOX for meda server duties)
Oh Kitchen and Living room have to be accessed wirelessly.. I have an 802.11B Dlink wireless router.
In case you havent worked it out yet I am trying to do this on the cheap.
All and any help gratefully received.
