Ipad 2 streaming via readycloud or itunes

Hello - I am a novice with 4 bay readynas.

I'm trying to stream music online away from my home - I have used the readycloud app but it only seems to play one song at a time - not running from one to the next - is there any way of changing this?

Alternatively is there a way of access the music via itunes / music on the Ipad remotely?

I have seen some reference to using things like 8player but it seems that I have to create a VPN, which I have no idea if this is definitely necessary or how to approach.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

David.

    Normal DLNA or file shares won't work without a VPN - they are not designed for over the internet usage.

    You can also use plex when away from home. AVPlayerHD can be set up to access your NAS via FTP - but that is more suitable for video than music. There's always iCloud.
