[QUOTE="jsimo01, post: 480462, member: 68460"] I did not think MP had the ability to output audio to different soundcards for multi-zone audio! Or are you able to have the audio from each zone fed back to the amp? I use JRiver Media Center for music, mainly because it has the ability for audio 'zones' (with ASIO compatible soundcards like from M-audio) plus I can use a PDA with NetRemote to control the server and see on the PDA what is on in each zone, create playlists and change the volume etc. I extended the NetRemote with Girder so that it can also act as a remote for MP, but still having trouble changing between clients. You could easily run JRiver as well as MP (it is not freeware though) with NetRemote and an M-Audio 4in/4out soundcard for around £125 plus your amp. (You can also have multiple instances of WinAmp runing, though never tried this, and not sure about control.) It's gotta beat Sonos etc. hands down on price. p.s.
