Multimedia Setup

So, a quick little overview of my home audio setup 🙂

All UPnP/DLNA based…

• Raspberry running KODI (xbmc) as dlna renderer hooked up to my random old creative speakerset – recently installed musicbox as dlna renderer: way more options! ❤
• HP MicroServer running:
  • Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials with Media Pack
  • Serviio (love that shit!) as media server, hooked up to my music library, some podcasts, and stubru live stream
  • BubbleUPNP (love that shit as well!) to provide some consistency (and on the fly playlists)
• and my phone, computer & tablet running av remote, kinsky and bubbleupnp as control point!

Suggestions to improve, questions and comments are always welcome! 😎

Currently still not looking at Spotify actually… Most of the music I play are either podcasts or online sources (stubru 🙂 )

 

1gb of legal music…

According to some providers in Belgium, you can’t download more than 200GB in 30 days legally…
Especially in my case, that’s not a good reason to put me on smallband… (yes, in belgium there’s something called “downloadlimiet”, a limit on the amount of data you can download from the internet…)

I was just browsing the web a bit tonight, and I stumbled upon some websites:

• Arnej’s twitter account that links you to his free album – 238MB
• Studio Brussel’s ibiza’s broadcast – 204MB
• DJMag’s “top 100 DJ’s” of this year, which also gives away a free album. – 568MB

That’s about 1GB of music, completely free (and legal!)

Yesterday, because of my iTunes issue, I was forced to download a part of my podcasts again (about 10GB for only 2 subscriptions).

Not to mention the new release of W8 (iso+vhd), which is about 5GB each (x4)

 

Damned…

Muziek – Paul van Dyk @ Maxima

Iedereen die mij een beetje kent weet dat ik een enorme fan ben van elektronische muziek…
Met name dance/trance & hardstyle.

Nu wil ik even de aandacht vestigen op 1 van de beste livesets die ik ooit gehoord heb, en waar ik nog steeds fan van ben!

Het muziekstukje in kwestie is Paul van Dyk bij Maxima ergens in 2005, Maxima FM sessions. En dan vooral het 2de deel.

Geen idee of deze set nog ergens op het internet ronddoold (staat al jaar & dag op mijn pc), maar het is nog steeds 1 van de beste stukken muziek aan elkaar geplakt!

Moestem vinde! Zeker beluistere!
