Home Computer Audio Asylum

Music servers and other computer based digital audio technologies.

I use WiFi to the garage system

as it is a semi-detached structure where running ethernet is impractical.

It did require re-purposing an older Linksys AP there to assure continuous streaming at 192/24. I also configured about half the RPI's memory as an output buffer. Not long after the stream begins, the unit plays from memory.

A few minor details.

I think about 750mb, a huge amount of storage.

The original 74 minute CD media had a 640 MB capacity while later 80 minute versions stored 700 MB.

We now have 256gb thumb drives, maybe even more.

1 TB microSD cards are now available from multiple vendors.

My NAS uses a pair of 2 TB Seagate drives that cost the princely sum of $50 each. Have a backup pair as well. ;)
