Hey everyone.
This probably isn't the right section to post this into, but I'm not sure where it would go, so this will do! Lol!
Here's what I'm trying to do, which would be awesome if Media monkey can do it, but I haven't found anything on it yet.
I travel a lot and want my music where ever I go. I take my work laptop with me (which I'm not allowed to put masses of music on to!) so I'll take one or two albums with me, which I get bored of very quickly. I've been known to be away for several months at a time.
I don't really want to take my personal laptop with me as well, that would be a pain! I bought myself a USB powered hdd and put all my music on there, then I left the hdd on a train! Oops!
So my thinking was this: I create and host websites. I have a reseller hosting account with unlimited space and bandwidth. I thought it would be great if I could upload my music to a folder on my website then have Media Monkey stream media from my online collection.
I know I can use various tools to stream music over a network, but that involves me leaving my laptop turned on in order to stream (I'll re-iterate that I can be away for months at a time and leaving my computer on for this amount of time just doesn't seem practical!)
I've looked into other things, like MP3Tunes, which is a pretty cool idea...but how much?!?!?!?! My music collection is well over the 50GB mark and that could get expensive! Cloud hosting etc does seem to be rather expensive as a whole! But can I use my own website and media monkey to create a similar thing?!
Thanks in advance to anyone that can help me with this problem.
