I have a wireless connection to my LAN from my iBook and a XP box connected to my stereo. Is there any way to stream the sound output from my iBook to the XP box so I can play my sound output/iTunes on my stereo over the network?
Tnx!

I've often thought of this myself - a 2 part sound out device driver (one part runs on powerbook, one part runs on machine connected to stereo) would kick ass. Even a USB over TCP/IP shim would be nice cause then I could use my USB -> S/PDIF converter with it. Uncompressed audio is only 150kb/sec - even airport could handle that, or you could integrate FLAC and get it down to the 100kb/sec mark.

I was originally thinking if it was feasible to combine features from I.E WireTap and QT Broadcaster or something to make it work trough software.. Would have been pretty useful.

It's not streaming, but you could mount the iBook's hard drive on the XP box, and then use the player of your choice on the XP box to play the music. U sed to do this between two Macs before iTunes had the Rendezvous sharing.

Thanx, but there is one problem with that approach for me unfortunately. I don't know any good mp3 players on the PC side that handles huge mp3 libraries very well, or at least the way I am used to on the mac with iTunes. And what will happen to the app if I put my iBook to sleep and it looses connection to the share?

I think it is possible with this (although it's not a built in feature). Look it up in the frequently asked questions.
