Can I play CDs direct on my PC?

[TomP]

Hi Spoon,
I have an existing WHS with all my CD rips, but would like to be able to access / play them on my PC, without the need for the (Linn Majik / Ipaq214) player and wireless control point that I use in my lounge.

Is there a way of doing this with one or more of your products?

Thanks...TomP

Yes, install dBpoweramp Renaissance:

Then your PC becomes a UPnP player (with DS extensions), control it with Kinsky Desktop.

Sounds great, thanks Spoon !!

Would I be able to select to use the PC or the Linn Majik if I use Kinsky Desktop?

Thanks again...TomP

Yes

Thanks Spoon.

Just one more question, I believe that Kinsky Desktop needs Cara to work, which I can't install on my Majik until they release the Cara-compatible KinskyPDA to run on my iPAQ214 in my lounge, so is there control software I can use that is independent of the Linn products completely?

LinnGUI (or 'Kinsky' as it now known).
