Advice needed on Wireless Media Players

by xenawarrior in

what i want to be able to do is play music from my computer through my stereo receiver so it plays out through speakers i have hooked up to the computer and speakers that are hooked up to the receiver at the same time.

currently there are speakers connected to the stereo receiver located outdoors and in my living room.

i would like to be able to add another set in the basement as well and have the capability to have all of them playing at the same time in addition to the speakers already connected to the computer.

What I want to be able to do is play music from my computer through my stereo receiver so it plays out through speakers I have hooked up to the computer and speakers that are hooked up to the receiver at the same time. Currently there are speakers connected to the stereo receiver located outdoors and in my living room. I would like to be able to add another set in the basement as well and have the capability to have all of them playing at the same time in addition to the speakers already connected to the computer. I'd also like to be able to switch off certain sets while the others are still playing- all generated from my computer.

Is a wireless media player capable of all of this? Any thoughts, limitations etc? Any suggestions on a good one to purchase?

Thank you for any help!

I need your guys thoughts & opinions

by kls in

have you ever met someone and for some unknown reason this person just rubs you the wrong way ,i don't know if it's a vibe they give off or what but something that makes you dislike about that person.

my son who is 21 started to date this girl and there is something about her i so much dislike and i can't help the way i feel.

i have 4 grown kids all have dated and brought there dates home and i was receptive to them all but i cannot to this girl.

I'll throw my 35 cents in here. You said that you can't help the way you feel about her and that you told your son that you love him but that you cannot accept this girl. You might not be able to help the way you feel about her but "feeling" something doesn't mean that you have to act on that feeling- even with words that have obviously hurt him. What does "accepting" this girl mean to you? Does it require something of you? Is that your requirement or someone else's? If it is yours- it is possible to remove that requirement out of respect for your son and his choice?

You are basing a great deal on a "feeling" you have about this girl that you don't really have a solid reason for. It doesn't sound like she's done anything overt to deserve any scorn at this point. You may be totally correct and there may be something amiss with her but that is up to him to figure out on his own. If you inject your own "feelings" about her you may muddy the water for his own ability to see her for who she really is because now he may be on the defense about her. That could make it harder for him to see things that might have sent up red flags because he may attribute that to you and that it's "not really happening that way". Or he might see negative things that aren't there about her because he might be a bit paranoid about her because he knows you don't like her and he trusts you.

If it were me I'd stay out of it and keep it to myself how I felt about her and let the chips fall where they may. It's part of life to learn to make choices on their own about friends and relationships and deal with the consequences. It sounds like the horse is out of the barn on this one already though.

Wouldn't it be great if we could shield our kids from all the pain and realities of life?

Tough day -- my mom died today

poor thing, she's had alzheimer's for about 10 years and the last year she's been on hospice care because she's been so close to death.

the past few months she's been slowly filling up with water -- they gave her lasix (not sure of the spelling) to relieve the edema and it worked, sort of.

last weekend she actually looked a little better.
