• Stream Music Over LAN
    10 replies, posted
My friend and I like to listen to music while playing games. I was wondering if it was possible to stream music over LAN. I usually just set my player to randomize music, so I can just skip ones we don't like listening to. Is there any tool that could allow us to do so? I know VLC can stream, but it doesn't shuffle music, it only streams selected files. Thanks.
Is the machine that will stream the music the same one you will play the games on?

Well,you can setup an ventrilo server using stereomix as recording device on a spare one then listen to the music with the client,and to change stuff you can also set an remote desktop. there's another way through,and uses "virtual audio cable",which is a paid program,and uses a similar method but using an virtual audio device because stereomix would also stream every other sound in the computer,like a game.
Is there an easy way to stream the music with low latency with free programs? VLC would be perfect if it would play music from folders.
I can't really answer with an easy,solution,as what i said above is something i consider very easy just takes some good time to configure. There could be a program to do specifically what you said,but nobody has written one.
Set up a Firefly or Ampache server.
If you're using windows the *easiest* way of doing this is to create a homegroup.
I'll try out the Firefly server. But their site is down right now. :( [editline]11th September 2011[/editline] Or I guess this could work. [url]https://code.google.com/p/syncboss/[/url]
