How can I get 2 different track from iTunes playing on 2 different stereos?

We are remodeling a part of our home and decided that this would be the time to install a whole house audio system. We would like to use our iTunes library as a source and be able to play different tracks in different parts of the house (also called zones)
To put it in a slightly different fashion. I could have a dedicated Mac Mini with my iTunes library and it would feed tracks with meta data to 3 stereos in various parts of the house. Each stereo independently select tracks or playlists.
iTunes purchased tracks need to work as well.
Thank you all....

What you need is to use one Mac (or PC) as a server (and storing all the music) and then one of the following in each room connected to that rooms HiFi system.
Sonos ZonePlayer see http://www.sonos.com this is the most expensive option but is regarded as the premier multi-room solution.
Roku SoundBridge see http://www.rokulabs.com (I have three M2000 SoundBridges myself)
Slim Devices Squeezebox see http://www.slimdevices.com
Apple TV see http://www.apple.com/appletv (unlike all the above this will require the use of a TV)
With these, different rooms can play different tracks at the same time with them all stored on the single computer.

    how can i get the music from itunes on my pc to transfer to my iphone?

    The only supported method to get media onto an iDevice is via iTunes.  Read the User's Guide it will describe how to do this in detail.
    iCloud does not put media on the device, but using iTunes Match and iCloud it is possible to have access to all media that exists on your computer, but only when the device has Internet access.  It will not load media onto the device.
    Use of 3rd party tools to transfer files to the device is not supported.

  • How do I get a track from iTunes to match the master tempo of my project?

    I have a project open and I am adding a track from iTunes, but it does not line up with the tempo, making it impossible to play loops over it.  Is there a way to make the tempo of the track match the master tempo of the project?

    Yes. You have to decide which song is the "master" song that you match the other to. This song has to have the "follow tempo and pitch" option unchecked, the other song has it checked. Then you can use the tempo slider to match the songs to each other.
    (I even did it with "Sympathy for the Devil" which has an irregular beat - it gets faster as the song progresses, the folks didn't record with a metronome back then. Using a tempo curve, I was able to match it to a modern, steady-beat song.)

  • How can I get all tracks from an album into the album in my library?

    When importing the albums from a folder, the tracks for some of the albums were split up.  How can I get them in one?

    Hello JudyD276
    The article below will give the steps to get the songs grouped together for you.
    Why aren't songs with the same album art grouped together?

  • How can i get a refund from iTunes gift card?recipient is not in my region!

    Dear Sir/Madam,
    I just wonder how i can get my refund according to recipient's region. my friend subcribed his Apple ID as US and mine is in Thailand, as a result, my friend cannot download application i sent and it asked my friend to put in a Redeem Code everytime. Again, i just report a problem from itunes but when i clicked it didn't appear as an email. How can i report a problem? how can i get my money back? please help..
    Regards,
    Ampha

    You probably will not be able to get a refund. The iTunes Store makes it pretty clear that gifts are redeemable only in the same country, and the terms of sale say that all sales are final. But you can contact the iTunes Store and ask:
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact.html
    For future reference, you will not get responses from Apple to any question you ask in these forums. We're all just fellow users here. And you posted in a forum for questions about the Communities themselves. You usually will get the quickest and most applicable answers if you ask in the forum dedicated to the product or service about which you are asking.

  • How can I get music REMOVED from iTunes Store?!

    I manage a band who has never been signed to a record label however, they had a distribution deal which has since expired and the company went under. Apparently they put a CD up of my band on iTunes Store and items look to have been purchased as the Popularity "meter" is maxed out on some. Where the money is going outside of Apple's cut... who knows. But how can I get my band's music removed from iTunes' Store? I can't find contact numbers anywhere. Thanks for any help!!

    I forgot to mention that the distributors with who we have an expired contract are no where to be found. yikes.

  • How can I get on to my iTunes account on a different computer?

    I am using my mum's laptop (mine is broken) to download a new CD but her iTunes account is on there. When I logged her out and logged myself in through the store her music still shows up and I can't access my own account still.

    How about if you have a problem getting your iTunes on your new laptop because this is causing me a big problem.  I have a new Windows 7 laptop & I spent half of yesterday using "homesharing" trying to transfer my library from my Windows XP desktop onto the new laptop.  I got about half of the songs & the other half just won't transfer.  I also can't get my playlists on it & only about three videos.  I have no idea why it's not working.  Any ideas?

  • How can i get my contacts from itunes to my phone if my usb slot on my laptop is broke?

    basically im looking to get my contacts from my itunes on my old laptop onto my new phone but the usb slot on the laptop is broke so i cant connect to itunes is there any way to get the contacts without connecting the phone to the laptop or is there another way to connect the phone to the laptop??

    Hello Joe,
    Congratulations on your new iPhone 5!  If you do not have a working USB connection on your laptop, you can use iCloud to transfer contacts from your computer to your iPhone:
    You can create and edit your contacts by using the Contacts app on iCloud.com from a Mac or Windows web browser. Changes you make are automatically pushed to your iOS devices and computers where you set up iCloud for Contacts. On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, changes are pushed to the Contacts app. On your Mac, changes are pushed to Contacts (or Address Book in OS X v10.7.5), and on your Windows computer, changes are pushed to Microsoft Outlook. No matter which device you use to edit your contacts, the changes are updated everywhere, so you never have to connect your iOS device to your computer to keep your contacts current.
    Access iCloud Contacts from a web browser
    Go to icloud.com/#contacts and sign in using your Apple ID (the one you use with iCloud).
    You can find more information about iCloud and Contacts at the following help article:
    iCloud Help - Contacts overview

  • How can I get album artwork from itunes to ipod with manual music managemen

    I have chosen to manage music manually since there are four ipods that use the same computer in my home. I recently upgaded to itunes 7 and got my album art updated but can't figure out how to get it to the ipod without syncing the whole thing. Thanks for your help!

    Well there is a setting to "manage music manually" so that the sync doesn't happen automatically. That way my wife doesn't have to get the stuff I put on the system, etc. I have to drag and drop new stuff onto my iPod after I rip it into iTunes.
    I'd give in and allow the autosync but I have a number of CD's that for some reason iTunes can't "find" even though they're already on the iPod. itunes tells me that if I do the sync the iPod will be erased and rewritten and I'm worried about losing those tunes.
    Thanks for the post! Greetings, Copenhagen.

  • If I have iTunes match, how can I physically add tracks from iTunes to my phone?

    I'm travelling to an area without WiFi and 3g with poor reception so I want music to actually physically copy the music onto my iPhone. When I try to drag the tracks over to my phone in iTunes, it says that it hasn't copied them over becuase they are available via the Cloud.

    You'll need to download then via iTunes Match before you travel.
