For some reason, I couldn't post back to the original thread, so am continuing here. WTF.
[quote=Owen_Electric]Well, I detach all the wires, and move the speakers out to my back patio/in the car, and hook em up to the AVR just like normal. In the past, I have plugged the laptop into the AVR via HDMI and played the music that way. The only problem I have had with this setup is on cold nights below 40F when the laptop can't handle it. It's a little messy but manages to get the job done very well (especially with no wind).
A reason I am getting the MF M5si is for the power to drive the speakers at as close to concert level as possible for these situations. (Yes, I live in the country).
It's by no means practical, but a hell of a lot of fun.[/quote]
1. Set up the machine with JRMC installed to be a Digital Media Server
2. Ensure that both the JRMC machine and your AVR are on the same network
3. Download and install MusicCast for your mobile device
4. Stream to your heart's content.
Keep in mind that your AVR natively supports a plethora of streaming services as well as being able to stream files from a Digital Media Server (i.e.: the machine with JRMC that you just configured).
