Can a PC or Linux box stream music to two places simultaneously over wi-fi?
I mean the same song/song list to 2 different rooms/systems without obvious lag or "echo"?
I've never set up a home network but now I have a small form factor HP computer that I got for ten bucks at a Goodwill. I'm thinking about using it as a music server to stream to an android phone, blue-ray player, Chromecast or laptop.
I figure I can muddle through and figure something out that will work for one "reciever", but man it would be cool to have my own in-house "radio station" that would play in a couple of rooms and my garage. Like many folks here I have systems scattered around the house.
I rarely sit still for tunes, but I love to have them playing when I'm cooking, cooking out or working around the house. There is a college radio station that occasionally plays good blues or jazz and having several systems going as I'm moving around is really cool.
Is there any system that can do this?
