1. A system, comprising:
- a local area network (LAN);
a device coupled to the LAN adapted to stream a digital representation of a media;
a webpad coupled to the LAN having an application adapted to decode and convert the digital representation of the media into analog signals; and
a digital converter coupled to the LAN having an application adapted to decode and convert the digital representation of the media into analog signals;
wherein the webpad further comprises a control application for use in sending commands to the device to cause the device to stream the digital representation of the media to at least one of the webpad or the digital converter.

Abstract
A system and method for using a webpad to select a target device which is to receive from a source device a stream of a digital representation of a media. The webpad is used to send a transmission to the source device to cause the source device to route the stream of the digital representation of the media to the target device where the target device decodes and converts the digital representation of the media into analog signals to thereby allow for a reproduction of the media.

10. A method comprising:
-
receiving into a webpad a command which functions to select a target device which is to receive from a source device, via a local area network (LAN), a stream of a digital representation of a media;
sending a transmission from the webpad to the source device to cause the source device to route the stream of the digital representation of the media to the target device; and
decoding and converting the digital representation of the media at the target device into analog signals to thereby allow for a reproduction of the media. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
