Ok, I'm brainstorming here. I'm on MJ8 trial period and really enjoying it. I've been thinking how to upgrade and integrate my MP3 collection with my A/V system.
I have now ripped a lot of my CDs and added the cover art (300x300 pixel) inside the files. I like that the internal MJ Display can be a separate window with MP3 info and cover art display as the file plays.
So, I'm in the process of getting 50 foot RCA audio cable (anyone know where I can find one?) to run from my Soundblaster card to to the other side of the room to my A/V receiver AUX jacks. This should allow me to play my collection through my home stereo system which will sound great. This is a big step up, although my computer Monsoon system is not bad.
However, what if I upgrade my graphics card to one which has dual monitor support and S-video out. If I bought a 50-foot S-video cable to run to the AUX video jack of my A/V receiver, can I "push" the separate MJ Display window to display through my A/V system to my big screen TV? If I could do this, this would be an awesome addition to my entertainment unit for parties, etc. I was thinking I was going to need a standalone MP3 player for my A/V system, but this "sounds" a lot better.
I'm probably dreaming that this would work and I admit I don't know much about dual monitor support on graphics cards, etc. (Can the S-Video out on a graphics card which support dual monitor be "one" of the monitors?)
Hope this is clear. If anyone has done something like this or something close to this, I would appreciate any help, advice.
Thanks.
Pete
