I currently am using an Escient Fireball Server to control several Sony 400-disc CD changers. I recently ripped all of my CDs to my PC (thanks to the cheaper cost of hard drives these days) and it's been great using the files to burn CDs and load to my iPod. I use Windows Media Player 11 for music playback.
I'd love to replace the Escient and be able to play my music files on my main stereo system, which is in another room. Ideally I'd like to have a tablet that could act as a touchscreen remote to control the PC. (The stereo, while in another room, does have connectivity to the PC via an ethernet cable.)
Any ideas on where to start? I'm not concerned with other HTPC functions (DVDs, games, DVR, etc.) at this time.
Thanks!
