Hi everyone,
I was looking through several threads on the subject but was hoping someone could recommend what system I should buy to accomplish this since my needs are pretty specific.
I have all my music ripped to mp3s on my computer and would like to be able to access them from my stereo. All id tags on my mp3s are complete so I can find them quickly via artist, album, or genre.
I have a hard wired network hookup from my computers to the living room.
What I would ike to do is either through remote or wireless keyboard, to be able to do a quick search of my music collection and play it on the stereo. The point I want is not having to have a full computer in my living room to do this, and to have a quick and simple way of entering artist or album and then filter through the results.
That's pretty much it! I've been reading about the following units:
1. Squeezebox
2. Roku soundbridge M1000
3. Prismiq Media Player
4. Apple Airport Express
The thing is, I can't tell from product information which system would have the best interface to do this. I can imagine having just a remote would make it hard to enter artist's names, but not sure how feasible having a keyboard would be.
Do any of you have a setup like this, what do you use and how do you like it?
Appreciate any advice!
aloha,
