I have a western digital my book live nas with 228gb of alac files (cds ripped in itunes), and then 34gb of amazon and itunes music purchases.
I have put them into one folder and itunes and foobar can see them.
What i want to know is there a music streamer around the £300 mark that i can use my ipad to listen to them of the nas without the laptop being on running foorbar and itunes. Plus i would like it to be able to accept tunein radio and spotify and amazon cloud player via airplay off my ipad2. Saving me having to switch to my apple tv everytime i want spotify.
i was looking at marantz 7004 but i cant find anywhere where it says it play apple lossless from a nas without a computer being on. I really cant be botherd to make a 300gb flac copy of my music .
The other one is a sonos connect can thatbread alac off a nas.
Many thanks simon
