can iPhone control iTunes stored on NAS?

[daviestar]

Hello everyone, I'm new to this forum!

I have seen this question asked in here with no replies, so I am hoping someone can clarify...

So you can run iTunes on a NAS drive and access it without the use of a Mac/PC with the likes of Roku Soundbridge. Can you do this with the iPhone?

If not, is this something a clever software developer can come up with, or are there hardware limitations?

Thanks,

As long as iTunes is running, it can be accessed by the iPhone.

Thanks for the reply TEG.

When you say 'As long as iTunes is running', do you mean on a Mac/PC?

If I run an iTunes server type arrangement on a suitable NAS (QNAP or similar) and I can access/stream the tunes to the iPhone without a computer?

As long as iTunes is active on either computer, then the iPhone can access it. Otherwise, the music is just sitting on the hard drive.
