Title: Best playback engine for JRiver Media center?
Post by: ChrisRainman on January 26, 2009, 05:45:36 pm
Since years I am searching for the perfect hardware solution fitting to Media Center.

I want to listen to my music in any room. The music is located on one machine using Media Center as hardware. Accessing my music I prefer via remote as this seems the easiest way to handle.

I would like to be able to access the view schemes, as well as smartlists and in best case also the MC tags (so that I would even be able to edit or update them remotely).

So, what I recently found are the SONOS system and the logitech squeezebox. Both seem not to support UPnP in a way it is necessary to take advantake of the full MC comfort. I don't think it's sufficient to export playlists and then start using that systems. I ask for something dynamic. Static playlists quickly get out-dated. As my view schemes consider the last played date I want that to be reflected also in such an external hardware.

Are there some more recommendations out there what hardware is the best buy???
