PC, PDA can I connect wireless to my Stereo

Archived from groups: alt.internet.wireless (More info?)

Hi all

I have 2 pc connected via a wireless router, I also have a wireless pda
that is networked, I have a very large music collection on my pc. I
want to play my music on my stereo that is downstairs (next to the
wireless router) via my pda, is this possible without much hassle how
do I connect my stereo amp to the wireless network?

Many thanks

Wayne

I do just that every now and then with my PDA's -- and they are even older
WinCE PDA's -- Cassiopeia E-100 (WinCE2.11) and Cassio BE-300 (stripped
WinCE3.0 for Casio, but using a really cool CE shell project called Xpod).

Windows Media Player (for PocketPC or WinCE) plays streaming .mp3 and .wma
using MS protocols. There are a bunch of other, freeware, stuff that can
stream from mms: ftp:, or even http: as well. Just google.

You already have everything you need, except maybe an adapter. Just plug
the receiver's analog line-in into the PDA's headphone jack -- probably a
mini-jack that you'll need an adapter to get into the receiver with.

Use the PDA's AC adapter adapter when streaming to the stereo over the air.
Using wifi with a PDA and streaming media drains their batteries very
quickly. :^)
