Subsonic Radio Throughout The House!

Post by **horizons1** » Dec Thu 28, 2006 1:50 pm

I have the D-Link DSM-320 Media Lounge, which also handles Internet streams. The only bummer is when I listen to Subsonic it plays through Windows Media Player and I don't get the song tags. Are you able to see the track info in your Roku, or does it just say "Subsonic Radio"?

I should also mention a great media server that works with both the Roku and the DSM320, plus most other UPNP devices.

Free, easy, great. Serves up many formats unsupported by the manufacturer's original software.

Yikes... and I thought my setup was complicated (speakers linked through a sound splitter)!

Yah we have friends that have that setup with speakers in almost every room, Its really cool, so no mopre rushing back or letting your food get cold to finishing hearing a song.

Wow, I'm glad the users on here have the time to find solutions for us to get our Subsonic fixes elsewhere in the house. We have surround sound speakers, so I would love to listen to Horizons loops or Soarin' Over California music with amplified sound.

Thanks.

Pretty interesting stuff. Luckily I live in an apartment so I can hear the music in all my rooms if my PC is playing it

I use 900Mhz wireless speakers throughout the house. They work amazingly well.

I have done something similar with a little box by Jensen used for wireless headphones. There is a transmitter plugged into the speaker jack of the PC and then a receiver plugged into my home theater receiver. I can crank it up plenty loud to cover the whole house and get Disney in matrixed 7.1 surround sound. The litte thing cost me about $19 at Best Buy.

I use my computer as the hub of my home entertainment center. I use my TV in the living room as my second monitor for my computer and then use the output from the TV to route (through a line amp) to other TVs in the house (including my man cave). I also use a line amp and split the audio out from my computer. I then run it to my surround sound system, different TVs, and stereos through the house.

It gets a bit complicated but I'm a low volt tech AKA wire monkey. My wife doesn't mind me running wire as long as she can't see 'em or trip over 'em. I'm lucky my house has a crawl space and cellar. All of this affords us Subsonic through out the house!

Wow that is an intense set-up. I don't even want to think of all the work it took to wire that up. Just thinking of all those wires can give you a headache.

Jacca5660, I can totally relate! I am an old-school low-tech wires-and-splitters kind of guy, too! Not because I'm not capable of understanding all the new high-tech wizardry, mind you, but mainly because that's what I'm used to and what I can afford for the time being. You should have seen our place for the WDW Today live podcast in September. We had both laptops set up in the living room with a cable to the big screen TV from one, and an audio cable to the surround sound system from the other (the reason for that is a long story...). Anyway, like I said, I can really relate to the wire thing....

My wife calls me McGyver because I'm always rigging or wiring up something for some reason....

My DW (Dear Wife) calls me a PAIN-In-THE-A** because of all the wiring I do. But it is what I do professionally and it's done to code (When there is a code). I am the only one who can trouble shoot my system because the wiring diagram is in my head.

It would be cheaper and quicker to do it all wireless. I understand and can do wireless, I just prefer the stability and reliability of hard wired!!

My wife won't let me wire anything!
