Feedback Wanted: Media Network Idea
Dec 2nd
Because I’m currently lacking exactly 1 person to bounce ideas off of, whoever you are, will have to do.
Okay, so here’s how it will ultimately be:
I have a network of computers, I’ve got an Airport Extreme routing everything.
What I want to be able to do is have a single computer serving all media, preferably over iTunes since I’ll be adding multiple Apple TVs in the house.
The way it currently is, is I have my iBook G4 (basically, my upstairs TV) serving everything from a 500GB external drive over WiFi.
How can I improve this? Also, if I were to plug the HDD directly into the Airport and then use it’s mobile me feature, would I still be able to work iTunes as easy when I’m away from home? Cause, I know I can serve my iTunes locally through it… but I just don’t wanna worry about it when I’m mobile…well, I’d LIKE to have 200GB of media when I’m on the go without weighing down my MacBook Pro or carrying external drives.
