Play Music from One Computer Over Two Computers


Recommended Posts

I know this is perhaps going to sound like a silly question but here goes:

 

I have a network of two computers, upstairs the main PC, downstairs the HTPC.  Both running Windows 7.

How would I go about playing music from one of the computers, but allowing the 2nd computer to pick up the feed?

 

So I can be playing Christmas music upstairs, but it will also come out of the speakers downstairs at the same time with no delay.

Me being me would think about connecting a physical cable but I don't have a cable as long and it's a bit of hassle a few days before Christmas.

 

Thanks

VLC using multicast will keep it in sync. works well over wireless too. nice and easy to setup.

 

edit: i used this last year for the same reason as you.
