Home Audio System help!!!

Triangle

I currently have just over 100Gigs of music (MP3, WMA) and am looking for some type of jukebox that can see the music off a NAS or computer and with a good screen to see the track/album/artist info.
I'd like any info on wireless systems as the file server will be on the top floor and access to it on the ground floor (no concrete floors in between thank god!)
I've checked the web and seeing as this is a new(ish) tech, it is filled with multiple choices.i'd like people with similar specs or with tried and tested ideas to post as i'm just looking for further info on the subject from RL experiences.


Thanks,
Brian#

No prob. In future use the report post button to request a move, you'll get a quicker response.

Can recommend both the Slim Devices Squeeze Box & Rokulabs Soundbridge.

You have got to plug the above into a hifi system or powered speakers of some sort... Which to me is preferential.

There is something similar from buffalo tech.

there are some good value options here, although I dont know if they will work on a NAS, a friend of mine tested two before and he thought the fact that they all require a server software to run on the pcs that hold the files was not great as the software was demanding. But they have developed alot since then.
Thing is you can just add one of these/repalce a DVD player and pop a wireless connection into your PC.
What about running Media centre and getting either an extender or an Xbox 360?

media centre is crap for music

Red Alert

put them on a linux server with mt-daapd and itunes on a windows client. or else amarok is good for a jukebox.

how 'thin' a thin-client do you want to run?

If you can, go with the sonos, it's a fantastic system
