Possibly my favourite new feature in Windows 7 is Play To in Windows Media Player. If you have a number of PC’s in your house running 7, this lets you redirect music from one machine to another. Perfect for scaring the shit out of unsuspecting family members but also quite handy for piping music around Chez Clayton.
Here’s how it to get it working
Sweet huh?
more in this from Nic at On10
Definitely cool. Does Play To work to push music to an Xbox in Windows 7 RC? (I haven't tried it yet.)
"perfect for scaring the s**t out of family members..."
wait so does this mean I can have a playlist of demands to send to other computers in my house and they'll just play? I worry that my housemates will soon be using this to get my PC to bark orders at me.
Hello..
Windows 7 (formerly codenamed Blackcomb and Vienna) is an upcoming version of Microsoft Windows, an operating system produced by Microsoft for use on personal computers, including home and business desktops, laptops, tablet PCs, netbooks and media center PCs. Representatives of Microsoft estimated in 2007 that Windows 7 would have a three-year development time frame following the release of its predecessor Windows Vista, but that the release date would ultimately be determined by product quality.
I wish Logitech would integrate support for this into SqueezeBox...
brilliant idea northerngeek - is this the new dumb waiter? :)
i don't think it supports XBOX but hopefully this'll be added
This all sounds remarkably like iTunes sharing, which is so old-hat for many.
you're right. I felt the same way about right click on OSX :)
Eh? It has always had right-click.
Do try harder, Steve.
yeah, sorry....what was I thinking.
Not sure, but "I can use a strawman argument here to divert from the original comment" is my guess.
Maybe you should read this http://snipurl.com/idop4
So now that little strawman is out of the way. How does this blistering feature actually differ from iTunes, XBMC, etc?
