Hey all, I'm wondering, I have a lot of mp3 at home that I would like to listen here at work, is there a software that I can install at home, make a playlist of all the songs there and then install it here at my work and listen to the songs through streaming or something? any software similar to that, so that I can listen to the musics I have home from work ps: i have an ipod, but it stays with my brother..
cause that's illegal :/ if they get me doing that i can be fired.. and there's softwares that monitors files on the pc too..
Remote desktop seems like a decent idea, although a solution in VPNing your desktop seems much smarter. In theory you could use VPN to tunnel your way into your home network and run files off your network folder (it'll just be like network neighbourhood lol). The more costly but easiest option could be to use the SlingTV device which many say is simple and easy to use, but like all shinny things, you'll have to pay for it.
Remote desktop is nice, but the problem is that it takes up bandwidth, processing power and precious latency because it has to fetch an image from the frame buffer. Literally it takes more power to make you feel like you're accessing your PC rather than just abstract the commands over the network like with pure VPN. I'm a performance geek lol, and that's why i still use Telnet for my router configs.
There are so many things I could do with Remote Desktop, but not VPN. That's why I never use the VPN. VPN is only good for things like file transfer, connecting to office environment which requires connection to office apps, that's why VPN is only useful for work, not for home use. I use remote desktop so I could use my IM, browse pr0n site, check my torrent downloads, check my MS Outlook without my boss knowing.
damn, i thought there was a software that could do this.. like, install at my pc at home, make my playlist, then install the client here, connect through my ip and just enjoy.. SOMEONE must have thought of this by now.. hehe! @hyper_raider, gonna give it a try, pain in the ass to install mysql and what not, but if it works!!
If you have any questions or trouble you can hop on to the freenode network and go to #ampache on irc for help
ic... no wonder.. in singapore rite, even if u buy a original music CD n rip it into ur mp3 player, its illegal..
