And these are facilities you'll now use?

Take me through how convenient it would be to play a CD on your computer
and pick that up on the Hi-Fi? Or indeed radio?

I rip em losslessly to FLAC, put them on te server and play that on any
one of many devices round the house.

As far as radio goes there is nothing I can get on FM that I can't get
at better S/N over the internet.

So my FM radio tuner is redundant now as well as the CD player and the
DVD player.

To connect to my hifi I hacked a raspberry Pi with a DAC card to feed
the HiFi, and control it from a web page using any computer or
smartphone on the house network.
