[QUOTE="RadDave, post: 1609717, member: 234411"] Hello, one possibility already provided and a number of options exist - an [URL="http://electronics.howstuffworks.com/airplay.htm"]AirPlay[/URL] compatible receiver or powered speakers would be an easy choice, but I'm assuming your old receiver does not offer that Apple technology. So, let me just describe another choice that I setup in minutes to my old NAD receiver - I have a stereo mini-RCA adapter (like the one shown below) plugged into the AUX inputs of the NAD - I usually just attach my iPod or MBPro directly to play my MP3 music on those devices over the stereo system. Instead, I turned on 'Home Sharing' (iTunes Preferences - requires your Apple ID login) on my MBPro (containing my main iTunes music library) and on my iPad, plugged in latter into my stereo's AUX inputs and shared my laptop's music library over my Wi-Fi network - at the moment working just fine - so one solution. Let us know your results. Dave :) . [ATTACH=full]21079[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
