How To Listen To Your Entire Music Collection Anywhere You Are

So you have downloaded a ton of music from Itunes or some other means. Maybe you just have a ton of CDS. Sure you can put some of your songs on your Ipod and listen to them on the go. But how would you like to be able to listen to your entire music library from any internet enabled device? (Ipod, Iphone, Computer etc..)
If this sounds like something you would be interested in heres how you do it. If the setup of this sounds a bit overwhelming for you and this is something you would want just contact me and I can set it up for you. For an idea of what it will look like when you are streaming Music on your device see here for a demo: http://subsonic.org/demo/login.view?user=guest5&password=guest



First thing you need to do is download a program called Subsonic. The main website is here: http://www.subsonic.org/ if you want to read all about it. You can download the program directly here: http://www.subsonic.org/pages/download2.jsp?target=subsonic-4.4-setup.exe
After you download it just simply download click on subsonic-4.4-setup.exe and run it just keep clicking "next" on the installer to install the program.

After you do this you should get a little green icon down by your clock. Now you need to setup Subsonic to detect the music on your computer so it can stream it over the internet. For instructions on how to do this see here: http://www.subsonic.org/pages/getting-started.jsp

Finish setting up by following this directions: http://www.subsonic.org/pages/getting-started.jsp#2

I highly recommend setting up your own personal subsonic address as mentioned here: http://www.subsonic.org/pages/getting-started.jsp#2.3 this will make it alot easier to access your music.

After you have set this up. You can go to another computer or iphone etc that has internet and type in your subsonic address that you created and you will be presented with a login screen. Login with the username and password you created and bingo! you can listen to all your music from anywhere anytime.

Also if you have a ton of Cds that you would like to save to your computer so you can listen to them over subsonic. Heres how:

I recommend the average user get Audio Grabber from here: http://www.audiograbber.org/download.html
recommend installing the MP3 plugin as well but its not required.
For help on using Audio Grabber see here (Its super easy): http://www.audiograbber.org/maintour.html

Just save your music to the folder that you have Subsonic pointed to and your set.

For more advanced users I recommend Exact Audio Copy. You will not find a better Cd ripper out there. Tons of features but not recommended for the average user. You can get Exact Audio Copy here: http://www.exactaudiocopy.de/
