do you have any expiriences of connecting your notebook with your reciever via wlan. like whats the best solution? is there any big quality loss (ok...you already have it with mp3) or resrtictions when you use it with other wlan applications simultaneous. It would be much more comfortable orgnizing my playlists directly on my notebook, playing from it and still having the freedom to move.

Re: Wlan: notebook - sound system

I didnt know you could connect it via WLan, I did know that some of the newer receivers have a built in ethernet jack that you can connect to your PC/Laptop and then through some MS technology (dont remember the name) and by sharing your media folder, you can access/control it through your receiver/remote.

Unless they have come up with a wireless version of that technology which is even more ultra cool.

I dont imagine you will have any quality loss since its not transferring the songs as "audio" as opposed to a "data" file and then decoding and playing it back on the receiver.

Re: Wlan: notebook - sound system

there is the terratec noxon iradio: [URL]http://www.terratec.net/en/products/NOXON_iRadio_2212.html[/URL] . you can connect it with your hifisystem and you have in some way access to your desktop/notebook or harddrive (about 180€). but i don't know exactly how it works - i think you can manage your music only from this radio but not directly from the notebook. an reciever wiith an itegrated wlan would be very cool. But isn't there a wlan station who recieves the data and you simply just connect via the aux/cinch system to your hifi? in some way how terratec describes its product, but with having all the controll out of your notebook

I remember reading about broadcasters but they're kind of the opposite of what you're asking for.
