Not in my Apple universe where I can stream it from my iTunes library on my computer or on the Cloud to all of my iDevices. I don't have to have my music ON any of my devices. Why should you? You're stuck in the past file based paradigm.
Otherwise known as an “I don’t want a $200 a month data plan” paradigm. I’d rather use that money on ammo.
It’s all about buying memory for a 1000 times cheaper than buying it from Apple. Streaming is great if you are at home, have unlimited data or you have a exhibitionist fetish for the NSA.
I have lived in the Apple universe since 1988, when my employer, GTE, was Apple’s largest corporate customer. I would even sometimes drive by 1 Infinite loop on the way to the Vallco mall in Cupertino.
I know I’m a few days late on this thread, but I have to ask. I frequently have to walk into my ‘office’ and physically wake up my iMac by hitting the keyboard space bar, or something, in order to stream content from my Mac over WIFI to Apple TV or iPad.
I use an Airport Extreme for Wifi, and the entire house, including deck, is within 15 yards of the Airport, and all my devices report strong signal. No neighbors within range to cause interference or signal theft, and I use strong signal encryption.
Any ideas?
That made me chuckle. You're in the same paradigm, but you don't hold the media your files are stored on.
LOL
