WMP10: play same file on 2 networked computers

[steve1092]

I was wondering if anyone knows if it is possible to play the same music file on two networked computers at the same time using Windows Media Player 10.  I have an external hard drive plugged into my laptop which communicates wirelessly through a router to my desktop.  The external hard drive contains all of my music.  I usually play the music through WMP10 on my laptop.  Is it possible to listen to what is playing on my laptop also on my desktop?  I would appreciate anyone's expertise.  Thanks a million

Cheers,

I have not personally explored the possibilities of all-singing all-dancing media centres.  No idea if WMP can do this.  I do know however that it is possible with the correct software to broadcast music over your LAN.  So that answers half your question.  You could Google for "streaming music server".

Thank you for you response.  I will try out your suggestion.  Have a good one.  Cheers
