Can I play music through AirPort other than through iTunes?

Hey, I think this is a dumb question, but I'll ask it anyway. Can I set up my AirPort to play music that's not coming to it through iTunes, or is that the only way to feed music to my AirPort Express? For instance, if I wanted to play AOL Radio (which has its own player, not through iTunes), can I do so? Thanks for your help!

Take a look at the program "Airfoil" by Rogue Amoeba.

  • IOS7 (iPad or iPhone) can't play music over airport

    iOS7 (iPad or iPhone) can't play music over airport?  I don't see the little arro that let's me pick the airport for music to the audio system.

    New way of doing this is to sweep your finger up from the bottom of the iPhone screen; you see a sort of control panel with things like airplane mode, bluetooth etc across the top. And 3/4 of the way down the little arrow thing you used to see beside in "music" to choose the AirPlay or Base Station.
    Not exactly intuitive.

    You can sync the iPod's Contacts app with some other contact programs/mail accounts.

  • Can't play music from external hard drive through iTunes on Windows 8?

    I recenty bought a new laptop running Windows 8 with a small internal hard drive, so I don't want to store all my music on it. I backed up my iTunes library onto an external hard drive, but when I plug this into my new laptop I can't play my music no matter what I do.
    I have tried:
    - selecting the newly created iTunes library by pressing Shift when opening iTunes and playing a song directly through the iTunes player. It selects the song, comes up with the speaker icon next to it to indicate it is playing, but the time doesn't count down and no music plays
    - I have gone into Advanced Preferences and specified the iTunes media folder location, still no songs play
    - coped a single song onto my new laptop desktop and tried to play this through iTunes, Media Player and the Music app. Media player says "Windows Media Player encountered a problem while playing the file". The Music app says it can't find any music on the computer, so when I select the music folder from my hard drive, it says "Can't Play. Make sure your computer's sound and video cards are working and have the latest drivers, then try again".
    I know my laptop can play sound and video as I can watch YouTube videos with no problems. I went to Windows Update, and there are no available updates, I already have every available update.
    I have also plugged in a different external hard drive, with different music files on it, and have encountered the exact same problems. It seems I can't play any music at all on this laptop. I know the files are not corrupted, as I can plug both hard drives into a different laptop that runs on Windows 7 and play the music on them with no troubles. Could it be a problem with the files compatibility with Windows 8?
    I can also access my iPhone backup through this iTunes library on the new computer, so I know there is no problem with my backup.

    I am experiencing a similar problem in Windows 7 64bit.  Since my laptop has a 128gb SSD, I have loaded my iTunes library on to an external drive.  I can sync my iPhones and iPads from this library, and the songs play fine from those devices.  However, when I select a song from my library, and click the play button, nothing happens.  iTunes does nothing.  I have also tried right-clicking mp3s in my library and selecting "Play", with no results.  I do not receive an error message of any kind.
    I have also noticed that some of my mp3's within iTunes denote the Time as 00:00.  The same mp3's will play and register properly using other mp3 players on my computer, and they also play normally on my iPhones and iPads.
    I am running Windows 7 x64 on a Lenovo T530, in iTunes 11.1.3.  Everything else in iTunes appears to function normally.  I can listen to internet radio stations without an issue, through iTunes, and they play as they should.  I have tried three different external drives, with different drive formats, and they all have the same issue.  If I copy my iTunes library back to my internal drive, iTunes will play my mp3s.
    I did not have this issue with iTunes 10, so I am assuming it is something that has occured within the last few updates.
    Has anyone found a fix for this?  Unfortunately, I am forced to use iTunes 11 because of my iOS devices, otherwise I would revert to iTunes 10.

  • Ipod won't play music or video, other than that it works fine

    My ipod 60gb 5.5 gen wont play music or video. I took it to an unexperienced ipod repair centeer and they couldn't figure it out. I took it to an apple store and they said that it was probably the hard drive but weren't sure. I can use this ipod as a hard drive. It will store and transfer files at full capacity. It also will auto scroll through pictures. If the hard drive had malfuntioned then wouldn't I have trouble using it as a removable hard drive? When I select a song to play, it shows album art work but remains at 0:00. I have restored it. When I did a diagnostic run, it didn't show the hard drive in the options for testing. I can repair my ipod myself. I'm talented but I need to know what part to buy first.
    Help!

  • Can't play music via Airport Express

    I've successfully played music through Airport Express before, but for some reason I keep getting this error message now: There are no speakers connected to the Aiport Device "Living Room".
    I have connected Harman Kardon speakers and subwoofer connected to the Airport, but it must not be recognizing the connection. I believe I have it correctly set up on the computer end...any thoughts?

    Are these speakers USB or are they connected with the 1/8" audio jack? What is your setup from pluging the audio speakers and the subwoofer?

    The vehicle has to support the Bluetooth profile for playing music. I would check the user guide for the sound system in your vehicle and see.

  • How can I play music on the apple tv from itunes?

    Hi! two months ago I was able to play music on the apple tv, but today I can not. Some one knows why?
    I can not find the option to share to the apple tv. 

    Hi,
    When I say that I'm not able to play music in the Apple TV is because I can not more find the option in ITunes, I remember that two months ago I was able to share the music and hear it in the TV but maybe I forgot the way to do that or may be change it, I don't know. If  I remember, I just made click for example in a song and there was the option to share to Apple TV but jet is no more the option.
    I don't have a MAC, my computer is VAIO and didn't change it.
    I already set the Home sharing on ITunes and Apple TV.

  • HT4628 My airport seems not to be working anymore. I have internet but now I can't play music through Itunes remotely. Airport kept flashing amber. Now I have tried to reset it it only flashes briefly amber and then no more light and it seems disconnected

    Unfortunately the Netgear DG834N router is rubbish with Macbook Pro's. I've had a few netgear routers, which were all good with my mac, which is why I bought the 'N' series one as an upgrade to the 'G' version, but basically it crashes my Mac constantly. I get the fade up grey screen forcing my to hard power off my book. everything freezes. It plain just doesn't work. wireless 'N' is still just in draft form and the difference between the Netgear and Mac version on the macbook pro just clash. Netgear haven't updated the firmware on the router since last year, so hopefully the will soon, but I've just gone back to my old 'G' version, and stuck the DG834N on ebay. I tried all the configs, with and with out security and no luck, it always disconnected, froze and crashed.

  • How can I play music on my macbook pro (OSX Lion) through a Pioneer receiver. I've connected them with a mini display port to HDMI cable with audio support bought at the Apple Store, but there's no sound coming through. thanks

    How can I play music on my macbook pro (OSX Lion) through a Pioneer receiver? I've connected them with a mini display port to HDMI cable with audio support bought at the Apple Store, but there's no sound coming through. There are 4 HDMI-in ports on the receiver - BD, DVD, DVR/BDR and audio. In my system preferences for sound, the receiver doesn't show up as an output option. Can anyone please advise. (ps, this is my first time posting a question, so I hope I can find your answers!) thanks, JP downunder

    For sound, try the audio output port and connecting to the RCA  audio input ports on your Pioneer receiver.  Use something like this:

  • Can I use Rhaposody to play music with AirPort

    Can I use Rhaposody to play music with AirPort?

    To stream non-iTunes audio sources from your PC to the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) you will need a third-party application, like Rogue Amoeba's Airfoil for Windows.

  • IPOD Classic - Can I play music through HDMI

    I have a TV with HDMI in
    Bought a non Apple cable to play music through HDMI input
    Can I PLay music through any HDMI convertor cable
    Thanks

    The iPod classic supports composite or component video. Unless you have something with enough smarts in the cable to convert that to HDMI then it isn't going to happen. There are no apps for the iPod classic and it doesn't have the hardware. Does the TV have component, composite, S-Video or SCART inputs? Any of these could be driven from the classic.
