How to stream music/radio

Mr_Singleton

I bought a Bang and Olufsen BeoPlay A6 speaker and BeoPlay 15 portable this afternoon. It's all being delivered on Tuesday.

I hadn't given much thought about what I'm going to stream from other than using my mobile phone.

I have a pretty large digital music collection (far too big for my phone) and wondered what my options would be to play it on the above speakers without having to leave a computer on 24x7.

Finally I'm a bit stumped on how to stream radio is it also via the computer?
Thanks

I agree with forgotmyname, you need a NAS then your computer can be off. I have one for all my music and a few films I keep.

I solved the radio problem by buying a couple of internet connected DAB radios, a Roberts Stream 93i and a Pure Evoke Flow. For such small units the sound is excellent. Both can connect to the NAS via my wireless network and access all my other music. There are loads of fantastic internet radio stations out there.

The Roberts is mains only while the Pure is both mains and has a rechargeable battery so moves with me and gets used whenever I'm not in the sitting room where the Roberts lives.

Thinking of using some cheap tablets to watch/listen to streams from a NAS.

Looked at some WIFI/bluetooth speakers today but they lack funtions to skip tracks and just to the next folder or show whats playing next.
