Need Help! Multi Touch screen jukebox from PC
« on: July 29, 2010, 02:33:33 pm »
Noob here.  Ive got an idea, not even sure if it's possible but worth asking.  I want to run music off of my pc to multiple locations.  These locations will have touch screens (2 areas to start).  I want to run a jukebox software on it, preferably one that I can choose different zones.  I would also like to stream internet radio (pandora, rhapsody, etc).

I looked at the Sonos setup but i dont see that i can incorporate a touch screen with it. 

Any suggestions?
Thanks

Use an old PC at each location or better use a mini ITX board at each touchscreen location.

Thanks Bob,
That is a good option.  I was thinking of using the Iomega home media Nas server on the first floor by my main pc and having a ITX in the basement under the bar.  This way its wireless, I have internet access for internet radio, etc.  I wonder if I can go wireless from the ITX to the touch screen.  Any suggestions?  That would make for a very clean install.
Thanks

I think you can go wireless video fairly easily but the usb for the touchscreen is a fairly new wireless technology.  Overall the wireless tech to support just a touchscreen would cost more than a wireless ITX that a touchscreen would plug into.
