In relation to Wireless Speakers, what does 'Connected Music Server' mean?

Hello All,
Need some advise. I am looking at purchasing a Wireless speaker. I currently have a MacBook Pro 10.8 which has my music stored in iTunes. My phone is an Android 4.2.2 device.
Therefore, I need to buy a wireless speaker that supports AirPlay (aka stream music from my MacBook Pro) and also has an app that I can install on my Android device which can threby access the iTunes playlist so that I can use my phone as the remote control.
Based on the above requirements, I narrowed down my chocie to the Denon Cocoon Home (whose app is also Deno Cocoon) and the Pioneer A4 XW-SMA4-K (whose app is Pioneer ControlApp)
Question 1:
The Denon App says this:
- When connected to your home Wi-Fi network you can further expand your choice of music by using the Music Server to browse and play all the music that is stored on your PC, Mac or Network Attached Storage (NAS) drive.
- DRM protected music is NOT supported by the Denon Cocoon app (or any 3rd party music app)
My question what does one mean by a 'connected music server?' If an AirPlay speaker receives iTunes music, does it automatically become a 'connected music server?' Technically, is music in my iTunes app (some purchased from iTunes store, some imported) considered DRM protected music? Can ithe app read the iTunes music given the above contraint?
Question 2:
The Pioneer App has a lot of complicated lingo that says:
Network Audio Player
- Browse and select music files on your connected music server
AV Receiver
- Browse and select music files on your connected music server
Network CD Receiver System
- Browse and select music files on your connected music server
Wireless Speaker
- Volume up/down
- Select Internet Radio Stations
- PUSH PLAYER
It uses one app for multiple devices and in the app description has a breakdown for what the app supports for every device. Now the 'connected music server' is not mentioned in 'Wireless Speaker' but the same is mentioned in 'Network Audio Player' so what does that mean?
I am more veered towards the Pioneer speaker as it costs $100 less and has better reviews but I will go with the one that will aloow me to use my Android phone as a remote control to access the music that the speaker is streaming from my MacBook pro.

  • Does airport express stream directly to wireless speakers or does it need to be connected through an audio cable to an amplifier before the speakers

    Does airport express stream directly to wireless speakers or does it need to be connected through an audio cable to an amplifier before the speakers?

    I got an additional question bout this topic:
    is it possible to use both at the same time? in my case cable-connected speakers in the living-room and an Airplay-speaker in the bathroom and/or kitchen?
    so I select the Airport Express as Airplay-Output on my iPad and from there it's shared via cable AND wireless? this would solve the problem of being able to only select ONE Airplay-Output on my iPad at the same time...

    UPDATE
    Hey this is totally weird. I haven't done jailbreak at all and I won't But how is possible that default apps such as Safari and Appstore have the problem I've mentioned before and Skyfire works perfectly without any trouble.
    So to sum up:
    Safari: loading stucks after few seconds on wi-fi, mostly doesn't load pictures
    Appstore: loading stucks after few seconds on wifi and it keeps saying "loading"
    Facebook and Youtube: doesn't load pictures
    SKYFIRE: loads everything without any trouble
    and completely everything works on Edge...
    So tell me W.T.F. :-D

    what does connecting iPad mini to my Mac Mini  through Bluetooth do

    There is nothing else you can do as regards the Mac. Bluetooth between a Mac and an iOS device works only for tethering so you can share the iOS device's cell connection. Otherwise, Bluetooth in an iPad is for connecting to peripherals such as headsets, in-car systems, and keyboards.

  • I got an iphone from Hong Kong which is locked one. Can anyone explain me what does a locked iphone means. How do I use it in India now, with my own sim card. How do I unlock it???

    I got an iphone from Hong Kong which is locked one. Can anyone explain me what does a locked iphone means. How do I use it in India now, with my own sim card. How do I unlock it???

    If your iPhone is locked to a wireless provider, only that wireless provider
    can unlock it. Contact the wireless provider in Hong Kong to see if they
    offer unlocking and if you qualify.
    If your iPhone is locked to an AppleID that you do not know, return it for
    a refund as it is useless. Only the person whose AppleID was used for
    activation can remove the lock. There is no workaround for Activation Lock.
    If neither of the above is what you are facing, provide more detail so someone
    may offer a solution.

    It means just what it says. Carrier settings are the settings the carrier installs on the phone to connect it properly to their network. Periodically, carriers push updates to those settings. You should accept them.

  • What does the dotted circle mean?

    When connecting itouch to itunes, what does the dotted circle mean next to a song? Thanks for the help.

    Hi pfn,
    From an earlier post on this topic - this may work for you - it's worth a try:
    First go to the 'On This iPad/iPod/iPhone' section and note all the tracks that have dotted circles.
    In the 'Music' section, un-check/de-select all the tunes noted 
    Apply and sync the changes. 
    Once that completes re-check/re-select the same tunes just un-checked/de-selected in the 'Music' section.
    Apply and sync the changes again
    Go back into the 'On This iPad/iPod/iPhone' section
    Hopefully all the dotted circles will be gone and all the tracks can be played
    See if this helps!
    Cheers,
