[Link_of_Hyrule]

yeh theres a lot of ways to do this several programs

[laderer5]

ya but this one is probably the most effective.

I've tried two: Orb & TVersity.

Personally, I prefer TVersity as it streams through the local LAN instead of going OUT to the net and back IN to the LAN like Orb does. Makes more sense dontcha think?

Orb's good for WAN access though.

Does your internet connection speed matter in here?

Because I'm planning to watch My Videos and it will take quite a while just to load it for the Wii and let it play...

Also, does the computer have to be on at the same time?

There surely are more sites like...Winamp remote, shoutcast, and so on...It is a quite good info for those who want to listen to their music on their wii..I am still hoping nintendo makes a media channel for vids and songs...
All this online streaming music is much better combined with wiiminder.

I got Orb a while back just to try this out. It streams the songs pretty slowly and I have a Cable Modem and also the Internet Channel is completely fine speed-wise, so it must be Orb.
