Here's something I'm proud of that I have just implimented into my appartment, The Mobile DJ Station

Basically from a laptop on a wireless connection, I can control the music being played in the apartment, both upstairs and downstairs. This is a serious advantage to wiring a computer to a stereo and having people fuck with it, or having to burn cds, which dont' have every song you want to play at any given moment.

How did I do it?

I wired my Desktop to one set of speakers upstairs, and bought a tremendously long cable to also wire it to the surround sound/dvd system downstairs.

On my roommates notebook computer I log onto my desktop via Remote Desktop (standard on Windows XP Pro) and control the music player.

So I can be anywhere in the apartment and play any song at any time, and that song will then play downstairs and upstairs simultaniously. It's really not a hard setup to do, I don't know why I've never encountered it before.

Wow. I love good sound and everything associated with it. That is awesome, DJ FC. Had I the resources and the need, I would completely do the same thing.

Commendable.

The Mobile DJ Station just got 10 times better!

I always had the soundcard on my motherboard, and my SB Live card, so put the two together and violla monitor headphones for beatmatching!

Not just any headphones, but wireless headphones, combine this with Traktor DJ Studio and the mobile DJ station is for real, the only thing now is my feeble beatmatching skills.

Good sound is always a good thing. We have the same "music in every room" thing in our house, but it's a little more diy than your system. Ours mostly involves networked computers, rca cables, and iTunes.

My system is DIY as hell, it involves networked computers, RCA Cables, and XP Pro, I have nothing that the average college student doesnt.

Edit: besides the wireless headphones, but regular headphones would have worked.
