I have a new laptop, and I'd like to be able to play my music on my home theater system. What sort of hardware do I need to do this?
It looks like a Roku Soundbridge might be what I want, BUT all the literature about it seems to imply that I choose the songs through the Roku interface. That's not what I want. I want to be using my laptop while I have Media Center running, and I'm controlling the playlist and music on the laptop. I just want the sound to come out of the external speakers.
Does a Soundbridge do this, or can I only control it through their remote control? Are there any cheaper options that I can plug in to my receiver? (It seems a little silly to pay $200 to push music across the room.) It does not matter to me whether it requires a WiFi or Ethernet cable, I have a router near my receiver.
