Hi gang!
Looking for an energy efficient way to stream audio from point A to B?
Well I can think of acouple of ways off the top of my head but using an
Iphone or an Ipad to stream your music library around the house would
have to be one of the most efficient ways to do it and to save quite a
bit of money in tern as you don't need a computer, just your network and
network gear such as modems and gateways run off the smell of an oily
rag <smile>
Audio streaming from an iPhone or an iPad is usually done through
Apple's "airplay" facility and you can use a compatible receiver to
receive the stream, say an Airport Express, Apple TV, compatible amp or
surround-sound receiver or another computer if you so desire.
Under IOS5 "Airplay" streaming is grately enhanced particularly for
those who use voiceover, Voiceover is no longer streamed alongside your
music thus you can control everything directly from your IOS device
which allows the possibility of multi tasking - allowing the stream to
play in the background whilst getting on with writing/reading Email or
whatever.
I have both an iPhone 3GS and original iPad here, "Airplay" works well
on each device though I have had some trouble with the iPhone 3GS and
"Airplay" from time-to-time, I suspect this is due to interference on
the network caused by another wi-fi network not far from here, the
iPhone uses the G protocol rather than N and this may have something to
do with it too!
I recently did some Tweaking and changed the wireless G channels on my
Airport Time Capsule which is my base station and since that time I'e
not noticed the interference problem again so perhaps that's that one
fixed and dealt with <smile>.
