Best Way to Listen to my Digital Music On My Stereo?

What is the best way to listen to my digital music library on my home stereo? Is one way better than another? I am interested in making sure there is no loss of sound quality. What are some of the best options for me?
Thanks

I guess that would be one way to go but I guess I want to know is that the best way to go?
You need to be clear.
Where is your digital music library now?
You could burn audio CDs or MP3/AAC CDs, burn a DVD MP3/AAC files, play from your computer or iPod, add a network device such as Sonos, add an Airport Express or other networking device, connect the audio from your computer to the stereo, etc.

What's the best way to backup all of my music and pictures?

I have a Mac Mini with the Super Drive and i was woundering which is the best way to back all of the music that i have bought from iTunes and pictures i have in iPhoto, that way in case my Hard Drive crashes or i buy a new Mac Mini i can just transfer the files onto the new Hard Drive, is buying a iPod Video or a external hard drive be the best thing to do or can i just burn everything on a DVD-R?
Thank you.

Wow, that sounds pretty easy, just drag and drop, but what exactly did you mean when you said "When restoring your data, ensure that all the iTunes and iPhoto files are restored before launching those applications"
What i was going to do is just copy (restore) all the data onto a external HD or a DVD-R and then make sure iTunes and iPhoto still has the same number of files and then i would check the DVD-R or the external HD to make sure that the files have been copied, right?
One more question, most of my music on iTunes was bought from the iTunes Music Store, will it still copy?

Best way to move small subset of music from external drive to laptop?

I have all my music on an external harddrive. I want however, a small subset of that music to be on my laptop, so if I'm away from my external drive, I can listen to a few things. What's the best way to do each of these: moving one song, a playlist of songs or a random selection of songs.
Thanks,
JONATHON
I have a powerbook G4, OS/X: 10.4.11, i-tunes 9.1.1

Can you direct me to your solution?
I recently consolidated all of my 130GB of media onto an external hard drive [EHD}. Now I want to remove a remaining subset of 70GB still remaining on my laptop. Although attaching the external drive to laptop works well for listening to music, slightly more convenient would be to have a very small subset of music on my laptop. Most convenient, would be 10 or 20 of my favorite playlists, in sum, perhaps 1,000 mp3s. If I completely delete itunes [libraries and files] from the laptop, i think i understand how to transfer such playlists from the EHD to the laptop. However, I am not crystal clear as to the most efficient way to selectively 'copy' only the corresponding 1,000 mp3s from the EHD [comprising 130GB worth!] to the laptop? Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Really appreciate it.

What is the best way to transfer only Photos and Music from imac to imac?

hello i have an old 24" imac that is loaded down with iphoto pictures and itunes music. i recently got the new 27" imac and wish to only transfer the photos and music files to the new computer. i have a cloned hard drive of my old imac as well as a time capsule copy of it.
i don't want to just restore my entire old hard drive onto my new imac because there is a lot of junk on there i don't want on there. so, what is the easiest way to move just these two types of files? i don't know how to find these files and move them?
i know how to attach both imacs via firewire, i just don't know what is the best way to make the transfer of both these file types?
thank you!

copy the folders /users/username/music/itunes and /users/username/pictures/iphoto library to the corresponding locations on the new install.
note: itunes and iphoto should not be running when you do this.

New iPads for my kids. Best way to share certain apps, iBooks, music, and to keep them away from inappropriate content.

We purchased ipad minis for my two kids this Christmas (ages 6 & 8). I have been working on setting them up so they are ready to use. I created gmail accounts and Apple ID accounts to use for messaging and FaceTime only. I put restrictions so they can not use email, Facebook, Twitter, Safari, etc. I plan on using a kid friendly browsing such as Mobicip. The part I am getting hung up is being able to put certain things on their iPads from my wife's iTunes account. We have decided to use her account to sync with their new iPads. Obviously, the kids will not have access to her password on iTunes. She has very few game apps on her ipad. I would like to add fun appropriate kid games to her iTunes account to sync to their iPads, but not my wife's. The same thing with iBooks and music. Some of my wife's books are not kid appropriate. I know you can create playlists to share music. What is the best way to go about setting up iTunes? Any other things I am forgetting to keep inappropriate material from curious kids.
Thanks.

I don't want her to authorize to my iTunes account. I set up a separate one for her.
You'll have to authorize her system to your iTunes Store account if there is content other than music that you want her to still have. Movies, app, etc. are locked to the account through which they were purchased, so if there is any such content she wants, you'll either have to authorize to your iTunes account or she'll have to repurchase that content. Please note that authorizing her computer to your account will not allow her to purchase new content through your account.
If there's nothing but music in iTunes Plus format that you plan to give her, then the issue of authorization doesn't apply.
Regards.

What is the best way to continuosly back up itunes music?

I have an external hard drive and I copied my itunes folder onto it for an initial back up.
I'm continuously adding music and would like to know if there's an easy way to add just the new music I upload every week to the "itunes backup" folder on the external drive or is the only way to back up (to the external drive) all of the music that I'm continuously adding to copy the entire itunes folder to the external drive once in awhile (the initial back up took up most of the external drive space, so it wouldn't fit more than one copy of my itunes folder)?
I'm hoping there's an easy way to do this, as I'd prefer not to use discs.

Use a backup program.

Best way to listen in the car?

Hi,
Which gadget will help me listen to my shuffle in the car? I have tried the Xtreme mac and I get a lot of static and strange noises.

Hi Wendy,
Do you have a cassette player in your car? If yes, a cheap way to listen to your Shuffle in your car is to purchase a cassette adaptor such as the one listed below:

I have one of these and they are great! I personally prefer them over the wireless radio tuners.

For optimal sound, what is the best way to connect an iMac to a high end stereo system?

If the answer is wired rather than through an Airport Express, what is the best way to wire an iMac to a good stereo? Is there any way to do it other than through the headphones out jack?

Morning Acousticare,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Thunderbolt cables should not exceed three meters for maximum performance. The Apple Thunderbolt to Thunderbolt cable (2.0 m) is two meters in length.
For more information on this, take a look at this article:

What is the best way to backup all Photos, Videos, Music, and other documents so that I can basically clean up my laptop? I would like to keep all applications during the "reboot", and I already have an external hard drive.

I have filled up the 500 GB of internal storage on my Mid 2010 laptop, and I have no intentions of getting anything newer. I would like to backup basically everything so that I can pull it off a hard drive as needed, but I am worried if I "reboot" my laptop, I'll lose all files and applications.

You say that you already have an external hard drive? Of what capacity? With some libraries, it's simply a matter of dragging and dropping them to copy them to an external drive (such as videos, etc.). But you want to be a bit careful about moving your iTunes Library so you won't lose the links to your music (see -> http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1449 and http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1751) and photos (see -> http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1229?viewlocale=en_US).
Once you've established that your relocated Libraries are still functioning and that you've copied your movies, you can delete these items from your internal drive. You could, if you wanted, invest in a larger internal drive so that you could always have your data stored so that you can take it with you, of course.
But if you safely move all of your files to an external, you can trash the originals and make space on your internal drive.

Starting Fresh With iTunes 9.0.1...best way to get music back in/import?

Had some library troubles with iTunes 9, and decided to do a clean install of not only the program, but of Snow Leopard itself. I was waiting on an iTunes update to come out before I decided to re-load my library in, since I didn't want to risk repeat problems (I've always been one of those bleeding edge-ers, and this is the 1st time I've ever had a problem/held back...guess I learned my lesson). 9.0.1 is out and seems to address the problems I'd been having, but I caught the "start fresh" bug and I want to start over with iTunes. No playlists, play counts, etc need to be saved.
I do have a full backup of my previous system (thanks SuperDuper!), and I'm wondering what the best way to get all of my music back into iTunes is.
-Do I use the Finder to simply drag the contents of my old "iTunes Music" folder into the new "iTunes Media" folder?
-Do I drag the whole folder and drop it onto the iTunes window? (I'm worried this method won't put iPhone apps, ringtones, audiobooks and podcasts in the right place).
-Do I use the import function?
Notes: prior to making the backup, I did upgrade to/select iTunes Media Organization
I did see THIS article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1451 but it says it's old and I wonder if it applies to iTunes 9.
Thanks for any help!

You might want to check that your certificate that you made has been applied to iTunes.app
try this code in Terminal"

Does the name on the certificate match the one you created?

What is the best way to connect my old 1st generation iPhone to my stereo receiver so I can listen to pandora?

What is the best way to connect my first generation iPhone to my stereo receiver so that I can listen to Pandora through the stereo?

I am hoping someone will answer this question you have asked. I just purchased the iSimple Gateway system and even though it says on the box that it works with the iphone3G when I plug it in to the 30pin connector it says that it does not support. It does work when I plug an iPhone4G . I have to use the headphone jack only with my 3G to listen to Pandora untill I figure out the problem .
