What are you streaming tonight?

I spend many hours each week mostly streaming from my music server.

I run both Logitech Media Server to stream to Squeezebox Touches (2) and a Squeezebox Radio.

I also stream from Plex Media Server to various in house devices like tablets, Amazon Fire TV box, and Iphone. I synch files to the Iphone in Plex and then stream from the Iphone to ApplePlay in my car.

I also stream on occasion from Radio Paradise and other internet stations on various devices including Squeezebox Touches and Squeeze Radio, and browser on tablets, iphone, and other devices.

Occasionally I will stream Amazon music and Pandora from Iphone to Carplay.

I still have a large vinyl collection also. I convert those to digital now when I listen and stream the files from same music server from there on in at home, in car, in the office, out of town, wherever.

So I am pretty much streaming all the time these days.  Good music available everywhere, sounds great and love it!

Thanks uber. I’ve been at it for a number of years now and been through the various ups and downs.

The biggest down is not having a backup of your files when the day comes (and it will eventually) where your disk storage fails. Maintaining and using backups is a bit of a pain! Not an issue if you are streaming content provided by others over the internet. I’ve had to restore my somewhat large music library twice from backups due to disks going bad after a few years or so.   It takes me over a day to restore my entire library currently if needed.

I wish converting vinyl properly were faster and easier but I’ve come up with a cost effective solution that works very well yet still time consuming.

Cleansing Music 50s Bop.  

Great station for pre-Beatles popular music.        LOts of well known and deeper cuts all wonderful sounding.   They don't make music like that anymore.  

Last Boezem by Kayak now Where the River Flows by Collective Soul.

Started off with Bach Prelude and Fugue in A Minor played by Anthony Newman on a wonderful sounding VoxBox CD.

Misfits perhaps my favorite Kinks album.   Good stuff!

"A Nightmare to Remember" by Dream Theater at work from my Plex music server at home.

Windsurfer by Roy Orbison.
