I have a mac mini i no longer use and i want to use it to stream music to my stereo.
What i want to be able to do is leave the mac mini hooked into my receiver and leave it to sleep. It'll have no mouse, keyboard or monitor hooked up to it. I can wake it from sleep with the IR remote that came with it but i want to be able to stream music from my laptop (running windows 7). Being able to control the music from the laptop its streaming from is a definite plus. Ive tried using itunes home sharing but whenever it wakes up from sleep, i need a mouse and/or keyboard to start streaming music from my laptop.
Are there any other programs i can use or other ways to stream music from my laptop without buying anything else?
