Option 2A) Install one these apps on your tablet: Point the server to the music folder on your computer (Chromecasts are more fully featured since they can do video but any number of chromecast audios can all be set to play simultaneously for whole-house-audio if that's something you're interested in, as well as being able to hook them up to powered monitor speakers directly without using a receiver/amplifier with HDMI.)ฤก) Install Logitech Media Server freeware on the Desktop. You then open plex on your device, it will allow you to access your computer library, and then you can play to whatever "cast" device or devices you might have. You install plex on your tablet or phone ($5 charge on most, unfortunately) or even on a kindle fire tv-stick ($5) or Roku (free I think!). So you install plex on your computer (free), build a library (it'll import album art and do some sorting for you). On your pc, you're pretty much bound by whatever you can do from within your chrome browser: when you install the cast plug-in, you get an icon on your browser bar that you can enable to cast any audio chrome plays (whether from youtube, spotify, etc.) which is why programs like Plex operate as web apps instead of launching as their own programs. Everything your phone would play itself instead plays on the device you have your chromecast (hdmi, can clone your screen as well) or chromecast audio (RCA or optical) plugged into.

On your phone, it's mostly just like switching to a bluetooth speaker.
"casting" is just the name for the google protocol. I also have the flac files on the tablet but would think 'beaming' them over the network likely has them lose quality somehow even if not bluetooth - not to mention then not going via the optical output on the mini computer even if I could push them to the mini computer over my wifi network.

Is there some Android app (I have been hearing about the wonders of apps all these years and never really used any) that can do this? I guess I could maaaaybe Teamviewer control my mini computer via the tablet but I suspect thats sloppy. Sure, I could bluetooth to the stereo via a dongle but they suck. I would LOVE to be able to have my tablet in the kitchen 'tell' my mini computer in the living room to play flac music tracks that would then get pumped out from the mini computer via its optical output to my d2a and onto the 'proper' stereo. But now that I have an Android tablet I am thinking maybe there is a way. Now I have been trying to figure this out for years but I don't think its possible.
