I came across daniweb when researching the best way to integrate my computer into my stereo so that it can house my music library and allow me to ditch the CDs. So far, I've seen some useful threads on aspects of this type of set up, though I'm still not sure what all I must do to make it work.
I am an amateur when it comes to computers. It will be a rare thing if I can offer any solutions, so my contribution will be to stimulate the educator nerves in those with more expertise. I look forward to participating.
