Hey, I want to be able to Stream ~800kbps FLAC files across my network so that I can listen to music on all of my computers easily.
What's the best way to this?
edit: Currently using Samba, it performs well.
I did something like this with MPD, it was a nightmare i do not recommend it without a good understanding of how it functions.
How does it handle large files?
Why not just use network shares?
I just wanted to know if there was a cleaner way.
BubbleUPnP. I can stream movies, photos and music from basically any Wi-Fi device in the house. UPnP is a beautiful thing! I just recently purchased BubbleUPnP on Android but there is a trial version. However it limits the amount of songs in a playlist and limits streaming time to I believe 30 mins. Still nice to test out, and I.M.O worth the price. But as always I am sure you can find a free one as well!
Edit: Forgot to mention they do have an applet (Java Based) program you can run on your computer which acts as a proxy to stream from your computer, even if you are away from home.
