    Q's about Home Networking, and sending/recieving data

    1. How could I make a list of all the computers on the network?

    2. How could I send sound data to the recieving computer?

    3. How could I recieve this data in my program and play it back?

    4. Possibly, how would I tune into radio stations on my computer, Eg. CHUM FM, K-Lite FM, Hamilton & Toronto stations.

    Answer to #4:

    Unless you mean streaming it from their respective websites, you need a FM tuner card in the computer

    1. If you're running some form of Windows networking (NetBios), there's API calls to do it.

    2&3. Probably send binary through Winsock. I don't know how you'd encode/decode it.

    Okay, maybe giving you some in-depth info would help:

    I am making a kind of network "radio", with one computer acting as the "server" (not the actual server), which sends it's playlist data to the server, which then all of the other computers connect to when they want to listen. Then the playing version of the program picks up the sound data and plays it....

    So I need to find the computers on the network, and be able to send data to the server "medium" version of the program, and then be able to connect to this version and get sound data.

    So there are 3 kinds of programs:

    "server" - make a playlist and broadcast it
    "radio" - playing a computer's playlist
    "medium" - sending & recieving sound/playlists

    To summarize it,
