I had a dedicated computer that was only used for ripping music & downloading music that was hardwired to a hub & then hardwired to various rooms within the house. Connected a source to this & pulled off the music from there. I got some contraption from ebuyer although i cant remember what i was called & this converted everything & let me listen to it.
Seems a bit complicated for what it was but it worked without any problems.
Next property when finished will be something along the squeezebox route so that its portable to a certain extent.
