Apple's Mac Mini, Apple's iTV or an old G4 cube. All are fanless, ultra quiet, can run via a remote and have a very cool media program called front row that displays all that you are looking for. Plus you can add hard drives galore externally and an external sound card that outputs a digital coax signal to a DAC. That is what i am doing and it sounds pretty good.
External Hard Drives w/audiophile component...help
With todays market of internal hard drive components for digital music...I still have not found what I am looking for and could use some help. I would like to purchase a superior component for digital playback but have the ability to add external hard drives to hold the music without adding a computer to my system.
I would also like to display on the television monitor album art and digial tage information I have embedded in the digital file (or even folder). I would also like to add song lists created on the computer and (as if this is not already asking enough) run some of the inovative digital art programs if not displaying album art.
All my digital music will be in either high bit-rate lossy compression (mp3) or lossless compression. Any suggestions? Thank you for your time. Glenn
