Home | Communications | Satellite Radio You don't want to be tied down to your pc just so you can listen to your favourite music. Also, those PC speakers don't really do it justice if you have a hi-fi setup in your home. A digital audio receiver is an ideal solution for getting that music collection off your PC into the household via a quality piece of audio equipment. Whether the music is downloaded, ripped from CDs or even created by you, if you're one of the growing number of bedroom musicians that have sprung up since PCs became powerful enough and cheap enough for us all to make music with them, a digital audio receiver brings it to the living room. Now there really is no need for that CD collection that sits gathering dust in the age of music over the Internet. A digital audio receiver allows you to make use of a number of different options to hook itself up to your audio setup at home. One popular way is via a wi-fi hub or a direct physical connection. Most of the current digital audio receivers on the market require some software to be installed on your PC. This software acts as a local server, letting the digital audio receiver have access to your digital music collection. On the PC, the software is configured with the locations of you music files, which it then catalogs. The digital audio receiver will then query the server software and allow the user to select a track to play. When a track is selected, the server software loads the audio and then "streams" it to the digital audio receiver. Streaming is just a technical term for passing the data to the digital audio receiver fast enough to allowing the digital audio receiver to begin playing instantly, without running out of music. This means that although the audio has to be moved across the network, it is surprisingly fast. No need to wait for the entire song to be downloaded before playing. If you've ever got tired of constantly changing over CD's on your normal audio setup, then this solution is perfect as everything is contained in one place. There are other benefits too, such as being able to see at a glance which music track is playing as well as who it is by. It's also a good move for backups. Because all of your music is digital and stored in a single place, you can make backups at any time. MP3 encoding means you can fit hundreds of tracks on a single CD, thousands onto a DVD and if you have a really really big collection, a backup hard drive will set you back around 50 dollars or less if you shop around.
