My parents are building a new house and I am helping them set up an audio system for the whole house. I have ideas of what I want to do, but am not completely sure how to do it.
The house will have speakers in multiple rooms and outside, so it will need zones that can be turned on and off remotely. There will also be a surround sound set-up for 1 tv that I want to be able to use for music with the other speakers in the house as well.
What I am hoping to be able to do is have a setup kinda like a sonus system, but more custom/cheaper. I have a computer that I hope to be able to run the system from so I can stream music from pandora/a music library to the whole house. I also want to be able to have touch screen controls for selecting music and zone volume control throughout the house. If possible i would like to be able to use an Iphone/android for control as well.
I have no idea where to start searching for software that could do this because I'm not even sure what to search for.
Any help would be appreciated.
