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.

  • How can I disable wifi while playing music with locked ipod touch?

    When I play music and lock the iPod touch, the wifi stays on which drains more battery than is needed. I don't want to turn off wifi in Settings since I like the flexibility to unlock the iPod and quickly check email, browse the web while listing to music (without going into settings, turn it on, browse, go back to settings and turn it off). Once I lock the iPod while playing music, I'd like the wifi to turn off. I know it will stay on while streaming that is expected, but why is the wifi staying on when playing music of the iPod?? Is there a way to do what I am asking? I don't recall having this issue with OS 1.x or 2.x. Also I have seen some posts asking for the opposite (leave the wifi on when not playing music and iPod is locked). These posts acknowledge that wifi stays on while playing music, so it seems to be 'feature' or bug in the OS.

    henry is correct. you can't do that.
    however, for what it's worth, i have found that wifi connection is similar to mobile phone network connection. i.e. if a phone is searching for a network, it takes up huge amounts of battery, but if it is constantly connected, it doesn't. so it is the 'search' procedure which drains the battery. similarly with my iPod touch. if it is connected to my home wifi network, but i am not using the wifi connection, the battery will not drain significantly. it's when i'm away from home and forget to switch it off that the battery drains. or when i am using it constantly (like listening to a 3.5 hr radio show using safari)

  • Can't browse internet while playing music over Airport Express

    Hello,
    I have a 802.11n wireless network using a D-Link DIR-615 router. I have 2 AX's, one for the printer and one recently purchased to play music on my home stereo. The AX's are set to join the existing network.
    I can play music over the AX just fine, and I can browse the internet wirelessly just fine.... but...
    When I am playing music AND want to browse at the same time, I can do so for about a minute, at which point the internet stops working (I get time-outs) and a couple minutes later, the music also stops. To fix it, I have to turn off AirPort on my MacBook Pro (using the icon in the upper right of the screen), and then turn it back on.
    Why is this happening? How do I fix it? I've tried changing the channel on the router. I suspect it's something to do with the router... but Apple folks are so much more helpful!

    Based on the information in your posts, you are likely encountering a signal strength issue, an interference issue with another wireless network or device, or a combination of the two.
    iStumbler will help with identifying one or both of these potential issues.
    When you open the application, check your signal strength. If you have a "good" signal, your wireless signal strength will appear in green. If it's yellow, you have a marginal signal, red, etc. If your signal is not in the green area, you need to position the router and Express closer together or try to eliminate any obstructions between devices as much as possible. A typical sheet rock and stud wall will on average, absorb about 15-20% of your signal.
    Then look for other wireless networks that may be displayed in the iStumbler window. Any visible network that is using the same channel or a close adjacent channel as your wireless is a likely cause of interference. If you see this, change the channel on your router to see if you can find better airspace.
    You may need to experiment with this a bit, as most modern routers allow a user to "hide" their network. So, it's quite possible that another network that you cannot see is interfering with your signal. All you can really do is keep trying different channels until you find a better setting or run out of channels.

  • I can I use the ubiquiti pico m2 with airport

  • How can I get my iPod to play noise when it says my headphones are in but they arnt and I can't get it to play music with out my headphones in ?

    How can I get my sound to play my iPod says my headphones are in all the time and they arnt so it will only play sound when my headphones are in

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack or other hardware problem..
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    If not under warranty Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

  • Can you use a home signal box with airport?

    I have just been sent a home signal box by my mobile phone provider (3) as I have poor signal at home.  It works if connected directly to the router but not when plugged into the airport.
    Has anyone come across this issue?
    Thanks

    There have been a number of successful cases of establishing a WDS between the Linksys WRT54G series and the 802.11g AirPort Express Base Station (AX), but I am not aware of anyone that has been successful using a WRE54G to extend the AX.

    Yes, that's one of the things airplay is for...

  • Can you play music with the laptop closed?

    Is there a way play music with the Laptop closed? I have a MacBook Pro w/Retina display.

    You'll either need to have a keyboard and monitor attached so you can wake the computer with the screen closed or use one of the third-party utilities that keeps the MBP from sleeping when you close the lid such as InsomniaX.
    Regards.

  • Is there a fix for battery drain on ipad 2 IOS 5.0.1? drain from 100% to 70% in less than 20min had it on playing music with display off

    is there a fix for battery drain on ipad 2 IOS 5.0.1? drain from 100% to 70% in less than 20min had it on playing music with display off

    About all that can be suggested is to use the feedback form and talk to Apple. They have communicated with some users, trying to get more info to find out just what the battery drain is so they can fix it. Unfortunately with the myriad of operating systems, apps and individual tweaks, there could be several combinations of settings that are draining the battery.
    My personal suspicion is that it has something to do with iCloud and the wifi syncing. (My ipad, before I changed the setting, was reaching out to find a sync on a regular basis. And it may still be doing so, however I set my iTunes to not automatically open to keep my device from trying to sync several times in an evening...not to mention the constant aggravation of iTunes opening regularly)
    That said, I could be wrong and it could be an app that users have in common, or several apps.

  • I cannot play music with my slideshows. I setup the music but it does not play, even with my older slideshows I hear no music.

    I cannot play music with my slideshows. I setup the music but it does not play, even with my older slideshows I hear no music.

    This category is for iPod shuffle.  Is that the type of iPod you have, because your description of the problem does not sound like it's about a shuffle?  If it's not a shuffle, what is the iPod model...?
    There is music there and I can play it connected to laptop.
    Are you doing the playing using the iPod, or are you playing the music using iTunes on the laptop?
    All mucis icons read "No music" and this is not correct
    Do these icons with "No music" appear on the laptop's screen, or on the iPod's screen

  • Using Siri to play music

    I can't get Siri to play music in my music library.  For example, I have a playlist on my iPhone entitled Gilbert and Sullivan.  When I say to Siri, "Play music by Gilbert and Sullivan," Siri responds, "sorry, something's gone wrong.". Well, what's gone wrong?

    Thanks and I hope yours works soon!
    I can use spotlight to search for cloud music but it is spotty at best.  There's a clear delay that doesn't exist when searching for local files (I switched off iTunes Match for comparison and you can really see the difference).  However, the number of results are limited when searching through the cloud and they are often randomly generated or not relevant at all.  I have to say though, any siri-related performance with the itunes match service is good news as they certainly haven't announced it and I'm sure once they've fixed the bugs we'll get a great many ads touting its integration
    If you haven't tried it yet, other successful phrases to use include "play **** on shuffle" and it will do a better job at shuffling through an artist's collection (great if the first song it picks is from a live album).  Secondly, if you tell it to "skip to the next track", it will do so No rewind, fast foward function yet but it will pause and continue playing if you open up the Siri interface and tell it to do so. 
    Best of luck finding new stuff!

  • 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.

  • 6 Gen Nano Plays Music With Static.

    My 6th gen. nano is playing music with static.  I have tried replacing apple earbuds, restoring the nano, and modifying the volume limit and sound checking.  No history of water damage or trauma to the unit.  Any suggestions?

    I assume you've listened to the same songs using iTunes, and there is no static there...   If you've tried different headphones and a Restore (using iTunes) already, there is probably something wrong with the nano. 
    Hopefully, it is still within one year from purchase date, and you can contact Apple (or make a reservation at an Apple Store Genius Bar), to see about getting it replaced under warranty.  Even if it's out of warranty, if there is a nearby Apple Store, you may want to have Apple tech support at the Genius Bar take a look at it.

  • Which Mac is best for music purposes?  I want to mix music recorded from MIDI and live sound, and also want to use Sibelius to play music in.  I'm looking at MacBook Pros; any tips?  13" or 15"?

    Which Mac is best for music purposes?  I want to mix music recorded from MIDI and live sound, and also want to use Sibelius to play music in.  I'm looking at MacBook Pros; any tips?  13" or 15"?

    I would think a 15" with the i7 CPU. You can get a 13" with the i7 CPU but the 15" has a dedicated graphic chip along with the intergrated one.
    You will also need to upgrade the hard drive to a faster 7200RPM model instead of the standard 5400RPM model that comes with all MBPs. The Sibelius website recommends the 7200RPM or a SSD. You will also be better off installing 8GBs of RAM.
    Both of those upgrades can be made after you buy a MBP for much less then Apple charges for the same upgrades and you get to keep the original RAM and hard drive.

  • My wife and I each have an iPhone4 with separate Apple IDs. We are hopefully about to purchase the 4th gen iPad; can we use iCloud on the iPad with separate IDs on the iPhones?

    My wife and I each have an iPhone4 with separate Apple IDs. We are hopefully about to purchase the 4th gen iPad; can we use iCloud on the iPad with separate IDs on the iPhones?
    We would like to have all our music, photos, etc. on the iPad - is it best to create a new combined Apple ID for the iPad and simply upload our music, photos, etc. via our laptop instead? Does this not then render the iCloud useless to us?

    And just in case you were wondering, installing one purchased copy on all the Macs you own is specifically called out as allowed in the Mac OS X Lion license.
    If you do not want to download multiple times, just copy the Applications -> Install Lion app to a safe place BEFORE you do the first install.  Then copy that copy to any Mac you own where you want to install Lion.
