Windows Media Center Question

I'm looking to stream music onto my TV. If I have a computer that has a network card on my PC running on the wireless network, will WMC recognize my other computer and display my files on the new computer or not?

Or do I have to have a stand alone media extender (which are expensive and seem outdated for the most part).

Still trying to decide between the WD Live, the Squeezebox, or maybe this option.

Thanks!

 

I don't use it myself, but I believe they will recognize each other assuming they are both Windows. Windows 7 systems have this functionality all built-in.

Another PC app option is an app like XBMC, to use as a media server and client. You definitely don't need a new piece of hardware if all you want to do is setup a media server / client between two PC's. Squeezebox, going on reviews here, is probably the best option of all, but it's also the most expensive since it's separate hardware.

 

Thanks for that! I'm downloading it now to check it out!
