Problem is that my mac is wired to my network. Maybe I could buy the AirPort Express and plug it into my hub.... But I'd still have to leave the room to change tracks on my mac via iTunes, when I can do it from the couch via TiVo HMO...
To churn through 10 GB of music I had either purchased through iTunes, or ripped myself using AAC (drinking the koolaid made me use AAC over MP3). All legally obtained.
Why?
TiVo desktop cannot play AAC/m4p files, only MP3. So I either spring $200+ for and airport card and airport express to stream my music to the stereo, or convert it to something more useable. Worked like a charm. I wouldn't have to do it if Apple/TiVo would get it together and let me use my music on the gear I already own.
thing happen. Out of warranty. Apple tech told me over the phone its $319 flat rate, including shipping. Clearly this must be happening all the time as the tech didn't even ask me to try any troubleshooting steps. Two days later I got it back and they even replaced one of the little rubber feet that had been missing for some time. Then the number 1 key popped off, but thats another story...
$319 for a new logic board installed is not bad. Ever try taking an iBook apart? Not for the faint of heart!
