I have a client that has the 6 channel DC6 CD jukebox from Arakis. He got it at the time because it was the cheapest thing out that met his requirements which basically were just to stream music to multiple zones loaded from CDs. He's had it for a while and after being returned 3 different times due to lighting strikes that took out half the electrical in his house it doesn't seem to be working as well as it used to when it was new. Not sure what's going on, but the RS-232 seems shaky and all of the touch panels aren't updating as quickly or as accurately as they used to and the Netlinx system hasn't changed.
I was thinking of using a bank of 6 ipods, but what type of ipod interface does AMX have? I have used the "C" interface and it works pretty slick with a neat little macro that you drop in and I didn't have to modify it at all.
Any other ideas for a media server that will output 6 channels at a relatively cheap (<$5K price)? 6 channels isn't a hard requirement - he could live with 3 or 4 if it worked well.
