Playing Music on ALL Speakers

I use my Airport Express to extend my network and play wireless music. This is a comment hoping that someone from Apple will either take this suggestion or that someone else might suggest an alernate solution...
I want iTunes to allow me to play music on ALL speakers detected via iTunes, not just one. I use an AE in my living room as well as main bedroom, and I want the ability to play my iTunes songs throughout the house on ALL speakers and not be limited through iTunes to only ONE location for audio.
If anyone knows anyways around this, let me know, otherwise I hope Apple will incorporate this as an addition to their next iTunes update.

I use that sound card with some 5. system made by Hercules. This sound card works great in XP, but in Vista, don't even make me start. I would say that if you use XP, the sound blaster li've! 24 bit will provide an enjoyable experience, but for Vista use other card, especially something NOT made by Creative because they don't provide even basic functionality with older sound cards in this operating system.

  • Can I use apple tv to play music via wireless speakers?

    Can I use apple tv to play music via wireless speakers without turning the tv on, or do I also need to purchase airport express device?

    Well, this is a C&P from your link:
    With Apple AirPlay and Audio Pro Wireless you can stream iTunes playlists and songs from your Mac, iPad and iPhone wirelessly to Living speakers or RX100 receivers anywhere in your home. Just connect our transmitter to an Airport Express and select your Airport Express unit as sound device on your iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch. Now let the music flow.

    For the not playing try:
    - A reset. Nothing is 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.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
    Artwork properly syncing has been a problem since iOS 5. you can try unsyning the songs and resyncing and then try a restore.

  • Iphone plays music out the speakers when headset/aux cable unplug

    Either when I'm listening to music in iphone from aux in the car, then I stop the music and unplug the phone... music starts playing from the speakers. This happens, even after I had not used the phone at all (no music, or calling). Usually just unplugging the headsets just starts playing music all of the sudden out the speakers!!! (this happens to both Apple headset, generic stereo headsets, and aux cable). I didn't even had the ipod player "ON".
    Yes, this happen to me while I had a client in the car with me!!!! Do you know what is like to have a Japanese old men, all of the sudden get surprised by 50 CENT!!!
    This is not cool APPLE!!! I busted my butt to get the iphone 3g (needed wife's permission and money)... so I'm really paying extra money for a broken iPod Touch! Really, my ipod touch doesn't even do this!
    So please if anybody can help, or if you know any solutions for this. I really could use this, because I often unplug my phone with guest in the car. (I have it plugged in always while driving, safety first!)

    I don`t know if it`s because an update, but its working pretty well now.

  • Playing music to wireless speakers?

    I know you can use the remote app and control the music through a mac running Itunes, and network it to some external spearkers (via Airport express)
    I was curious if there was a way to wirelessly play music directly from the Itouch to speakers connected to an airport express? The itouch will have the music the person wants to listen to, why involve the mac. (especially if the mac is being used, on a different account then the music library is on, and I want to play my own music on different speakers {different room}.
    Thanks for any help or guidence

    sorry but you cannot do that with the Touch. you could stream music to the touch, though. check out Airfoil

  • Play music on imac speakers AND through jack

    Hello,
    I'd like to play music on both the iMac speakers AND on my HiFi through the jack.
    I have not found any option to do that. If I connect the jack, the speakers automatically go off.
    Thank you.

    I'm going to dig a bit more.
    I believe the hardware is capable of doing what you want.
    We know that inserting a plug in the headphone jack doesn't
    physically disconnect the internal speakers -- because the
    "startup gong" always comes from through internal speakers.
    OTOH, many iMac audio gurus have done considerable digging
    without success.
    ...but good luck, anyway,

  • HT3819 We have speakers in my kitchen that are hooked up with an airport.  But recently, they stopped working and I can't seem to locate the icon to play music in multiple speakers.

    I have a iMac and speakers and airport set up remotely in my house.  Recently the itunes icon for playing remotely has vanished from my computer screen.  Any way I can get it back so I can play music remotely?

    Restart your router.

  • Remote play music to bluetooth speakers?

    Is it possible to mirror or play music from my computer or apple TV, controll the music via iphone REMOTE and then play to a portable bluetooth speaker? It seems like an airplay bluetooth combo. Or does the speaker have to be airplay capable?

    From what I understand, I'll get better audio quality with bluetooth than with the fm transmitter.
    My stereo manual shows an aux-in with what looks like a cable with 2 connectors (size or type unknown). If I can't find the right size connector adapters to fit the stereo, I guess I could just splice the bluetooth receiver wires to the stereo.
    Other than the Miccus receiver, I've found many others that range in price from $20 - $200. Aside from matching the iPad spec Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR technology, is there anything that would make 1 competitor's receiver better than another's? Like better audio quality or fewer dropped connections or more range, etc.

  • Problems Setting-up Airport Express to Play Music thru External Speakers

    Hi:
    I have an HP dv6500z laptop connected to an HP printer C6280 via LinkSys wireless network using the LinkSys 54G router and PrintServer. It works fine.
    I purchased an Apple Airport Express and want to connect it to this network so that I can play songs from within iTunes through external powered speakers wirelessly. The powered speakers are connected to the Airport Express (AE).
    The AE is plugged into the AC outlet and the speakers are turned on. The AE is roughly 10 feet away from the laptop/router, just across the room. The AE's
    LED is flashing amber (It does not yet recognize the network). I installed the Airport Utility from the enclosed CD, downloaded all patch upgrades and it installed successfully.
    Now, how do I tell the Airport Utility to recognize and connect to my existing LinkSys network, so that the AE recognizes it ? The instructions are not clear on this note...they say to run the Airport Utility and then follow the on-screen instructions. The instructions tell you that you will lose your wireless network connection if you continue...and you do if you try.
    The same information comes up if you try to do a manual install.
    How do I connect the AE to an existing network ? This information seems to be missing. If I go to the AirPort Utility Help and search and search on Setting Up AirPort Express, it tells me the following:
    Connect your stereo or powered speakers to your AirPort Express using the mini-jack on the top side of your AirPort Express, and then plug your AirPort Express into a wall outlet.
    Open AirPort Utility, located in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder on a computer using Mac OS, and in Start > All Programs > AirPort on a computer using Windows.
    Click Music in the toolbar, and select the Enable AirTunes checkbox.
    Problem: What Music in What toolbar ? I do not see this...
    Enter an iTunes speaker name and password. This is the name displayed in the pop-up menu at the bottom of the iTunes window.
    Problem: Where does this information come from
    If you're setting up your AirPort Express for the first time, choose Assist Me from the Base Station menu and follow the onscreen instructions.
    It seems like something is missing from the setup.
    Aaah...Just for the heck of it, I went under Base Station > Assist Me
    and told it to continue even though the dialog box said it would change the network.
    It displayed a tabbed dialog box where I could configure the AirPort Express, including a tab named Music.
    Note:
    The following two items are listed in Apple's on-line Help inside of Airport Utility, and on the web, yet I did not see them inside of Airport Utility when trying t oconfigure my AE.
    I did not see a checkbox to check, named Enable AirTunes.
    I did not see any place for entering the name and password for my speakers.
    I followed all of the instructions and things looked like they were going well until I clicked Finish.
    Them it said something like it could not save the settings..try again.
    Well, I did, but when I brought Airport Utility back up, it kept saying that it could not detect the AE,
    and when I went under the Base Station menu, all items were grayed-out, so I couldn't do anything.
    Please help... the instructions need to clearer and more detailed.
    Thanx, Dale
    HP dv 6500z Windows Vista New Airport Express

    Hi:
    Thanx for your reply.
    After several more hours of trial & error over the weekend,
    I finally have the Green Light (LED) on the Airport Express.
    And it stays green, even if I unplug it from the AC outlet,
    and plug it back in later. I have the green light so this
    tells me that I have gotten past one hurdle.
    OK...in order to get this far, I had the AE wired to the
    laptop or LinkSys router via an Ethernet cable. How do
    I go about making this a "wireless" connection. LinkSys
    told me how to take my laptop from a hardwired connection
    to wireless, but it doesn't address the issue when you have
    a 3rd party device hardwired that you want to make wireless.
    Side Note:
    I have not tried this yet, but I found a note on the web that
    stated something like this: after getting the green light,
    this guy then disconnected the Ethernet cable from the AE,
    unplugged the AE from AC power for a few minutes, plugged it
    back in to AC power, and voila! ... he was wirelessly on his network.
    OK...let's assume that my AE is now on the wireless network.
    What type of special settings do I need to make inside of iTunes
    in order to get sound to the speakers.
    I have my powered speakers recognized by iTunes...I can select them.
    But, it appears that something may be blocking my AE from talking to
    my network...I keep getting a pop-up box from Symantec saying that it
    is detecting a "virus" (for lack of a better term) at the IP address
    that I set my AE to. Oh, yes...that's another question...
    When manually setting up the AE, I have my router network's IP address
    (dotted-quad) in the list of parameter settings, but...near the top of
    the list, the Airport Utility software asks for your AE's IP.
    Well, what is it ? Nobody has told me ... Where do I get it from ???
    Or...do I assign an arbitrary value to it based on the dotted-quad below ?
    The router has an IP address of something like 192.168.1.xyz. I know what
    the xyz is for the router but, what number do I use here for the AE, or
    does it matter as long as it isn't being used by another network device.
    My network is static.
    So, after using a number not used by my network elsewhere (that I am aware of,
    and...inserting a $ (to specify hexadecimal format)in front of my encryption password, NOT the router password (they intermix the naming of these) I finally managed to get the Green Light on the AE. Note: I am using the WEP-64 bit encryption which is also refered to a "40 bit" (No..not hexadecimal..$40 = 64) which is 40-bit to which a random 24 bit is added to give you 64 bit encryption.
    To summarize;
    I appear to have the AE configured via hardwire (I have the green light).
    In iTunes, I can see and select my powered-speakers from the drop-down menu in the lower right corner, but i am s not yet streaming (hearing) the music.
    It appears that Symantic may be knocking me off the network, or not letting the AE talk to the laptop/router...I have not yet tried this, but another nugget that I found on this site says to go to System Preferences (where?), click on the Firewalls tab, click Advanced , and uncheck "Block UDP Traffic".
    Is this what may be blocking my AE talking to the laptop/router ?
    Any help/feedback would be appreciated...Thank you.
    I'm getting close...but no cigar (yet).

  • Playing music to WiFi speakers

    I'm not sure if this is the right forum for this question, so if there is a better one, please let me know.
    I am using a WiFi speaker to listen to music from iTunes. The two are not in a direct line of sight, but they are less than 6 yards apart. Most of the time, all works as it should, but sometimes the music breaks up (the sound is like a speaker with a short in it). I can't find any obvious pattern, and the music sounds OK when I switch to the built in speaker, so it's not the file. I don't think the speakers actually have a short, so I am guessing the problem is that something is interrupting the WiFi signal.
    Is this an inevitable problem using WiFi or is there anything I could do to eliminate or reduce the problem? I can always listen to the music on my iPod with headphones, but for long periods (I listen while reading), it's not all that comfortable -- not to mention the possibility of the close sound damaging an old man's ears.
    I am using DigiCom speakers, if that makes any difference.
    Thanks for any suggestions you can make.
    Charles

    A little additional information would be helpful here. Are you using AirTunes with an Airport Express? Or...?
    I've been using an Airport Express to stream music wirelessly to my stereo, and whenever I've had that static/noise it was because the connection between the speakers and the Airport Express was slightly loose. The jack uses a standard mini headphone plug, and it can come loose very easily. Dust can also get in there and wreak havoc...
    I suggest you check the physical connections between your speakers and whatever wireless device you're using, and if that doesn't solve the problem, please post back with more information about the hardware and software you are using.

  • Playing music - airplay/itunes/speakers - haven't got a clue!

    Hi,
    I think this is a simple question.  I want to replace my very old hifi which I use for cds and radio.
    I think that one solution might be to connect my mac book pro to something/hifi/speakers meaning that I can play my cd collection which is imported to itunes. 
    Do I need a specific hifi or does it connect using standard leads?  What is airplay and would this mean that I can connect wirelessly to speakers?  What would I need to set this up? 
    Will airplay + macbook pro/itunes + any speakers replace the need for a hifi? 
    Thank you very much - I am so confused!

  • Playing music , using the speakers causes lag

    Everytime I listen to music or watch videos after a certain period , the sound screws up and my laptop starts to lag , this happens everytime i use the speakers anyone know why this is happening , the lag is really annoying and makes my laptop slow

    The earphones must be pushed very hard into the iPod. So hard, that the white part of the plug must touch the iPod in order for the external speakers to turn off. You will hear a click.
    If you do a forum search, you will find this same solution. If it does not work, you will need to take your iPod to an Apple store or call the Apple iPod tech support if still under warranty or you have Apple Care.
