Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Stereo Whole House Sound implementation ideas needed

For the bedroom it would be stereo music listening, but in the future I might have an LCD TV and would like to benefit from the sound of the in / on wall speakers to listen to it. Currently I have no plans for a TV in the bedroom, just music.

As for the kitchen, I think your idea of the laptop might be the best way to do it, instead of an LCD screen. Can you expand on how the laptop would access the music server where all the files are stored ? and how / where does the squeezbox come into the equation ? sorry for asking stupid questions, I am a technical IT person but I just need to wrap my head around all the pieces and how they interact.

My formats are FLAC and APE. I know that the slimdevice supports one of them..so I'd convert the other ones.

So if the laptop would control the music in the kitchen, would I use a remote, like the URC MX-3000 for the bedroom ? and my HT system as well of course.
