Hello everyone. First I will do my best to describe what I am trying to do, and hopefully there is a way to do it.
I have a 1TB timecapsule that I use for Time Machine backups, as well as a storage for my music files. I access these files through an alias in iTunes so that I can play them on my Macbook.
The 2nd element: I have a LG HDTV/Surround Sound set up. I can plug my iPod in through the dock connector to the theater and play music that way. Theater will also accept any USB devices such as a jumpdrive, etc.
What I want to try to do is devise a way to play music through these speakers without having to use my iPod. It is tedious to use my iPod in this manner. I want a more efficient way to play music through my surround sound speakers.
Is there any way to hook the time capsule to the either the TV or Theater system and access files directly?
If this is not an option, what about any way to wirelessly feed music to the theater system?
If worse comes to worse, I could hook my Macbook to the tv and use it this way, streatming audio into the tv, and to the surround sound. I thought about this, however, I was hoping there may be a way to stream the music without requiring my computer to be stationary.
I appreciate any help you guys can give. Please don't flame, I do a sufficent amount about computers, but am not familiar with any mods to Mac firmware/software yet. I converted only a few months ago. Thank you
