Ooooh...just had a thought. Would a squeezebox classic or touch be able to communicate with the seagate mobile drive? I am wondering If the files on the drive can only be accessed by the app. I am not familiar with the costs of your typical NAS device so it may make more sense just going with a NAS but a portable drive that can stream to iPad and possibly be accessed by other streaming devices for $199.99 500 gb seems intriguing.

Sorry, next time I should read both links before posting. It appears you essentially connect directly to the devices discrete wifi network/IP, which means you are disconnected from your current router, which means you won't be able to stream through AirPlay. Unless the drive is able to operate as a network extender or piggyback off of your current wifi router. Please correct me if I am not conceptualizing this correctly.

Whoa. Now is that more like a portable NAS with it's own IP address that communicates directly to your iPad, or does it piggyback off of your current router and communicates to the iPad that way? The reason I ask is will you be able to stream from the hard drive and stay connected to your current wifi, in the event you are doing AirPlay with an express or appletv?

We'll see. I wouldn't be surprised if this went 2-0 going into Miami, and then Miami taking the next two to tie it up. The bulls bench really feeds off the home crowd and I don't see them doing as well as the did game 1 in Miami. I think also Miami has woken up from their slumber and will show a much better effort game 2.

Damn HPA tried to get all crazy on new guy and he just flipped the script on him. Nice.

Woo hoo! I will coordinate Bavarian lodge and mike you can coordinate 3 floyds. Headcase. The land of off topic birthday wishes.

Excellent. My army is building. Forgot Bryan your in the area too, it's located in lisle.

Happy birthday Chris! We need to hit up Bavarian Lodge sometime (closer to your neck of the woods) for beer

Go bulls.

Freaking uses an alps pot with a crossfader type knob/switch. It also kills all the jitter.

Happy birthday!

Thank you. Should pick up an express and play with AirTunes/AirPlay from iPad.

Ok last question I swear. Apple website says AirPlay only works for 2nd gen appletv. True?

There are plenty of kids to lecture at on Headfi, yes?

Thanks blessingx. Makes sense. I'll probably end up still going with the touch and using USB or SD for music storage and control with iPad. Darn could have sworn the iPad could do both remote and operate as pitcher of local music storage...

Squeeze pad offers an in app purchase to allow you to stream music that is located locally on your iPad! Only question is whether it will still work on a touch as the app says you need access to the squeezebox server, but I believe the touch has a version of the software located in the device itself...

Gumballhead. What a great summer beer.

Goose island bourbon county stout.

Does ipeng allow you to play music stored on the iPad on a squeezebox device? I think that would only apply if the device had a version of the squeezebox OS natively on it like the touch. I basically don't want to bother with my external drive and the music i listen to the moment is all on my iPad, i would just need to send that somehow to a touch or whatever.

Drool...
