main requirements are:
- have a main PC act as a server that i can edit playlists and work on my library
- a friend on the LAN network with PC & android who would like to be able to play songs and build their own playlist
- there other android devices to sync as well (wifi seems to well)
- Lastly I have a samsung TV that I would like to play music from over the network, I would like to use my android as a remote, but don't want to always be streaming with my android, I "think" this is possible, but i'm unsure what functionality I should be looking up (is it DLNA?)
I "think" a normal install on my main machine and then having my friend sync via wifi as well as create/edit playlist via their android seems like it would work (but i'm sure they'd prefer the PC for this, but that wasn't possible a few years ago) After that, it's the streaming over the local network, can the PC stream multiple channels? (one song stream to the TV and another to a PC and possibly playing another song on it's own speakers?)
