Am considering getting an iPhone/iTouch. I have heard that it can be used to control iTunes. I have never seen or tried this, so I have a question.
I have 100 GB music stored on an external HDD. I connect wirelessly to the eHDD via my MacbookPro and stream to my stereo via Airport Express.
So, does iPhone basically have a copy of my iTunes library and I control my MacbookPro via iTunes? This would require the computer to be on.
Or, does iPhone communicate directly with the eHDD and stream to the AE? This would mean I can leave the computer turned off.
How about having a few songs on the iPhone? Is it a separate library?
Basically, it would be nice to be able to control all my music at home via an iPhone (preferably without the computer turned on), and to have a few songs on the go too.
