Streaming to iPad 2
Hi, I'm running a ReadyNAS Duo on firmware 4.1.7 (which is the latest version, apparently) and iTunes v 10.3.1.55. I have the ReadyNAS set up to act as an iTunes Streaming Server, and the scan h...
Apologies in advance if I should have started a new thread, but this does refer to my original post on this thread...
My iPad has now arrived... :D
I don't use Apple Macs and have even returned an iPhone I had, so I'm not familiar with Apple products at all, but I do use iTunes on my Windows PC and laptops to organise and listen to my music.
My main laptop has my library stored locally, but I also have a copy on the ReadyNAS Duo in the Media share folder. The sharing works fine with laptops/PC, and the ReadyNAS 'library' appears under "Shared" in the folder tree on all laptops and the PC.
When I access the iPod app on my iPad, I can see the library stored on my laptop (if the laptop is on) but can't see the ReadyNAS, meaning my laptop must be on if I want to listen to my music without storing it all on the iPad. Having dug around some forums, most solutions involve Apple productes like AirPlay etc. but as I said, I am not an Apple user and only have the iPad because it was a freebie.
Is there any way of streaming directly from the ReadyNAS Duo to the iPad without other hardware?
Sorry if that sounds like a stupid question...
