I am in the process of buying a NAS drive where I want to store our
music library and play it on various I-devices and sonos.
However, reading various posts from this mailing list, it seems I
cannot omit having a computer turned on with the actual Itune app
running. Is that correct?

Depending on the model of NAS you get, you can stream music, and even movies in
the right format from the Nas to your iPHon, iPad, but not appleTV. If you

Hi Kliphton.
Thank you for your answer. So there is no way out of having a computer
with iTunes running if I want to be able to stream my music Collection

having a pc turned on?
Or alternatively using an other music app on the phone to play the
music stored on the server, again without having to have a
Hi,
Yes - if the NAS has a iTunes server feature then this will be
possible; the only problem will be with the Apple TV.

Hi, I've struggled with the same issue. Unfortunately, Apple TV does not
support DLNA so it won't see your NAS. I'm still hoping Apple will ad
this support some day. For now, you can only stream from either your
iTunes library with the computer on or from iCloud stuff you have
purchased. I
