User Feedback :: DSL for playing mp3 over a network



ke4nt -

This is really cool! Geesh, I don't know how I can ever keep up with learning all this stuff! I think my head may explode!! :p

Sharing an MP3 collection throughout the house in this way is pretty sweet!

Indeed, more cool than I can say! (I got my lame-ass issues squared away, btw.)

Think I've found a use for that 300MHz Aptiva stuck under my desk. In theory I could connect it via ethernet to my Apple AirPort base station and serve up my MP3 collection wirelessly to my PowerBook and my Toshiba notebook running DSL. Initial tests look good. Wowsah.
I know it's a little rough around the edges as of yet..
You folks feel free to modify or edit this stuff as you see best.
( keyword = improve )
Sometimes I get no startup of the edna server on some boxes.
SO there is still a problem somewhere..

As to connecting other boxes..
I pulled up any browser, and typed in the url line ..
"http://ip.to.mp3.server:8080 "

I also did find where it bombed out or locked if you opened more than one stream, or closed the stream you were currently listening to...but i might have done something wrong??!?
