[CoLoCo] Home music setup

[David Overcash]

Easiest thing to do with the best result...

Combine one of these:

With that, some clever networking, and using mpd (a linux console music
program daemon) and a frontend for it (such as Sonata) you can pretty much
create an audio stream that is sent to your stereo.  Sonata is a graphical
interface for mpd that works over networks, so you could use a laptop to
connect to your tower to change the music if you wanted, or just change it
locally through the tower.  This way you have the option of choosing your
playlist via multiple methods.

Cheers,
David
