Sorry, let me qualify - I used my iPod as a remote while I had the N50. Using the wireless dongle on the Pioneer I was to access my home shared libraries and stream content to it using Airplay. Obviously using the iPod as a sort of wireless hotspot. The N50 came up as an Airplay device along with my 2 Apple TV's. Worked fine it did too :-) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bigbossman's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=29947 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96726 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
