Here's what I want to do.

Play music in Winamp on my laptop...with the sound coming from the speakers of my desktop.

I kind of do this with the printer. (Using laptop to print stuff using my Desktop printer).

One of my friends told me it oculd be possible using Blueooth.

Both my laptop and desktop has blueooth in it.

So...is this possible?
 
remote desktop? plug the desktop speakers into the laptop? I'm not sure how you would go about this-- why not just make a playlist on your desktop and play it from the desktop?

bump for you so someone who knows something can help you
 
(This is all assuming that you're using Windows)

Just setup a home network, connect the printer to the desktop, share it and now you can print stuff from your laptop while the printer is connected to the desktop. Google "how to setup a home network" or "how to share a printer" or "how to network a printer"

As for playing selecting music from your laptop with the desktop outputting the sound, use Remote Desktop (google how to do it) from your laptop to the PC. Turn on your music player of choice on the PC, enable Remote Desktop, and you're set. If you need to change music, fire up Remote Desktop and thus you can control your PC.

There's probably a simpler/better way to do the music thing but this is one off the top of my head.

Ya, i already do the network printer, I was hoping I can somehow do the same thing with the speakers.

I used to do the Remote Desktop idea..and it works and all...but I rather...just have it....where winamp just plays on my laptop
 
Dont most desktops have a blue audio jack that is for audio input?? I have never done it so i wouldnt know how to instruct you on how to. Just a thought.

nah.....too simple and pretty much destorys the idea of "portability".
