Is there some way, using a long ethernet cable, to run the
streaming MP3 sound upstairs from this computer, in real time, and
listen to the same music on two computers at the same time, via one
modem and phone connection?

Yes. There are several ways to do this. Do you care if the feeds are
out of sync? If a little disk space is consumed? Which machine do you
want to do the MP3 decoding? Both?


How much is 'a little disk space'? I think we could come up with 50M-100B on each machine, or add another hard drive if needed (340MB). Right now I have mpg123 set up on the downstairs machine. The upstairs one needs a sound card and speakers added, or we could run it to another downstairs location which is set for sound already (also set for Realaudio - could I also listen to that fed to my computer, where Realaduio segfaults?)

I was wondering if you could do a send/receive between computers, or set up httpd and download from one computer to the other via wget without retaining the file on the first computer - can you split it to both play on one computer and send to another, with some sort of double pipe?

Is there some simple convertor from realaudio format to mp3 format?

For anyone interested in Ogg Vorbis, try WCLU, at 28K.

The method you use will depend on the answers to these questions.

My simpler idea was to get a long speaker wire extension and run it upstairs along with one of the two stereo speakers, since the streams are mono. My partner wants to learn ethernet from this experiment. He also wants to learn to program for data acquisition in linux, via serial port, so as to turn the attic fan on when it is cooler out than in. A neighbor suggested a simple electonic circuit instead.

I found also weku, where a former roommate hosts a 3-hour classical music program every morning. wdav, wuol, and wmnr are nearly 100% classical (the last of these not Friday, Saturday, or Sunday evenings). The other two are half talk. Several stations said they just started doing streaming MP3 but they started at 64K or higher.
