ATV 3: If I had known

[decafjava]

Buyer's regret for an impluse pruchase of an ATV 3 before Xmas. The main reason I bought it was to stream my itunes library (music mainly) through my TV as I just got some multimedia speakers to replace my old and obsolete stereo.

So I set it up, easy as pie, and now can stream all my music and videos - and the smartplaylists update as I hoped they would. Have to get used to the menu and remote.

Biggest disappointment and my fault having been an iPhone user since 2011. Apple music does not work - on my ATV, neither does iTunes radio as I am located in Europe and need my AM subscription to access it.

Now I am regretting buying this, does the new ATV 4 allow Apple Music to play? I don't want or need to play games on my TV. I should perhaps not gotten the ATV or subscribed to Apple music. If there is another way to stream to my TV and use it's speakers rather than my computer I am all ears.

Apple Music only works on ATV4. You can AirPlay it from your iOS or OSX device though

All of the information is right there on Apples web site.

Well I guess I either have to return the ATV 3 or cancel my AM subscription. Yes I know I can Airplay from my iPhone (I have a PC planning a Mac maybe) but wanted to avoid using my iPhone at home. Thanks for the replies reminding me why impulse buying is not a good idea.

Any alternatives from home streaming audio from my PC to my home cinema?
