MP3 files networking

[MariaJane]

Is there any way where I can access my MP3 playlist without the need of copying all the files to onother computer? Like for instance in my home, I mean, I have a computer in my room and a separate one in the study room. I want to access my playlist in one source. Is it possible? If yes, how can I male it work?

Hi MariaJane

Yes, you can network your MP3 player through an MP3elf. The MP3elf is a low-cost Ethernet connected MP3 player that receives a MP3 stream from a local area network server and delivers it to amplified speakers or a Hi-Fi system.

You can have a single source of MP3 files in your home or office, and browse through playlists from any MP3elf. Multiple MP3elf's can access the same music and playlists, or even hook in to streaming internet radio. There's no need to transfer your new MP3 files all over the place - they can now be kept in a single location, on the music server PC.

The Universal IR receiver allows the MP3elf to respond to one of your existing Remote Controls (or use the on-board pushbuttons) and the LCD interface can display your very own choice of information.

A fully assembled MP3elf may be purchased directly.
