HELP!: Multiple mp3 Audio streams

htgeek · 14th June 2006, 03:03 AM

Hi I am looking for a solution to stream 4 different music streams to 4 different rooms of a live venue.

different meaning... a different playlist in each room playing simultaneously.

but I want to stream from one computer (pref mac but not essential) and use an 8 out sound card...

I guess the main problem is what software should be used. that can easily manage playlists.. (ie Itunes)

If anyone has a suggestion, it would be much appreciated..

regards.

I think that if you use 4 different mediaplayers, it can be done.
The time that software can run on multiple instances is long gone.

The next problem will be the soundcard.
If the soundcard doesn't report to windows(or other OS) with separate outputs, you will have an other problem.
Most off the soundcards even the 7.1 versions have only one port reported to the OS so 't will be nearly impossible to get a stream into for instance, the rear outputs.

My ews88mt gives me 5 stereo wavedevices to choose from.
If yours doens not give separate wave devices, you are in trouble.
If that's the case you have to use multiple soundcards.

Goodluck
