how to play multi audio tracks on one source

by hauntguy45 - 1/16/13 12:27 PM

I am trying to find a way to play multiple audio tracks from one computer and split them between different outputs/channels. The goal is to have different audio in multiple rooms but all the audio is controlled from one system or or computer

I've seen this on Linux. Read a recent discussion.

Keep in mind that in Windows, this is not supported. You can have a few devices and use DLNA and more but let's get this out of the way. -> NOT A NATIVE FEATURE.

Are you trying to duplicate a SONOS system?

I have speaker in about 25/30 rooms and I have all the wire running back to one central room. What I need is a way to play different tracks in every room all from one location. It doesn't have to be wireless like sonos or a DLNA

Then like sonos with wires.

No reason you can put a bunch of sonos players in a central spot and control them all. There are companies that have such solutions but once in a while you find someone think it's simple or cheap.

Very easy in windows too! Just get a free version of VLC portable player here: http://portableapps.com/apps/music_video/vlc_portable
Then you will be able to open up as many of the same portable player as you want and play different songs in each. Give it a try, it really works! happy Cheers
