Hi all,
I'm very new to MC, but i'm optomistic its the answer to my prayers!
Does anyone know if MC is closer to multi-zone playback? I did a few searches but couldn't find anything under a year old on the subject. I only have one pc, but i have two 5.1 sound cards, one providing surround sound for films in the sitting room, the other i'm hoping to split for different volume levels and music in bathroom and kitchen. The one thing which would make my day would be to be able to have the same music playing through the whole house when i want it.
I know that true syncronisation is a problem, but to honest i don't really care! So long as each track started at nearly the same time it would be perfect for me, the shear amount of cable i have between the pc and the bathroom, plus the time it takes for the sound to travel back through the house means there is a slight echo effect anyway, and then you can only hear it in the hallway.
Would it be possible to write a plugin which plays the same playlist in all zones one after the other? What kind of delay would this introduce? (has anyone tried?!)
Sorry if i'm asking stupid questions, but with only 27 days to work out if MC is going to be any use to me i want to find out as much as i can!
cheers all
