June 13, 2008 in Software | Permalink

Buy yourself the quiet Mac Mini, disconnect it from an LCD screen and then use it as a standalone media server. You could even hide it in a cupboard or other storage area and access wirelessly. It's easily possible. Simply use iTunes to control your media connection and then buy an Airport Express for every device where you want to play back your audio. For instance, the stereo in your kitchen could be named as 'Kitchen', whereas your powerful hi-fi in the sitting room given a 'Sitting Room' reference. You can then stream the same audio track to multiple speakers, so you can listen whilst you move between rooms.

Signal 1.1.2 is a device that enables you to install on your Mac or Windows and then remotely control iTunes from your iPhone, iPod Touch or Pocket PC device. Works superbly and you can walk around with your iPod Touch and assign audio to your speakers and more.
