- I do it all the time on my Sparcstation network using 'radio'. I just feed
- the output of the CD player through the headphone jack AT LOW LEVELS (adjust
- the volume dial on the front of a Sun CD player), adjust the volume using
- gaintool on the system connected to the player, then let it go to the net.
- I notice only a small amount of traffic increase when using 'radio'. Hasn't
- damaged anything yet, either. Just be careful.
-
- If you don't have Sparcstations, I don't know if this will work or not.
-
- Hope this helps,
