iPod Playing music from airport HD

[ChrisN]

Hi, I am wondering how can I play music on my Macbook from my external connected to my airport extreme. The key thing is to not put the music on the internal hard drive because it takes up too much space. Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks,
ChrisN

maybe you could import the music using the link in the file categore of the menubar?

but won't that put all of it onto the hard drive and that will eat all of my hard drive up, won't it?

well i just imported a song from it and i did see 1mb drop in the hard drive so im assuming it did, but the song is more than 1 mb, ill keep testing.
edit*
i just added another song and the hard drive stayed the same but it will only let me import a song at a time?

look for the file in the mac HD, if it's there than you can't, if it's not, well then you did it. another test is to eject that hard drive and see if it's gone.

ok, heres what you do, go to itunes and go into preferences 🙂apple:+,), then click on advanced and uncheck

now you can add all the files to the library and it won't copy the files when adding them
