I want to play music from itunes and stream from my PC wirelessly to this unit. Can it do this or will I need an AirPort?

NO the unit does not stream wirelessly, and so it is a misnomer to say it has airplay. You have to have a wired internet cable connected to your network in order to be able to stream music. A regretful purchase. I tried to hook up an older airport, but the version of airport I had did not support having it function as a bridge with ethernet cable to the Harmon Kardon, so I had to go through the hassle of installing an ethernet cable.

Don't get tho unit. The network/wiFi support is abysmal. Read up on the infamous BCO update error. You will end up with an expensive brick.

I sent my back as it frequently overheated and did not get that far in understanding all of the units capabilities.

It works with airplay technology which means that you can stream audio from apple devices and from iTunes in windows if the device is connected to the same network.It also has a 3.5 mm input, you would be able to use any audio device with the 3.5 mm input cable, it is not as comfortable as the wireless option (airplay) but it works.

I meant no, it won't work with airport/airport express. I think I said airplay.

It does have the Itunes player. It will play internet radio and also your own music as well.

I paired mine using my iPad. The instructions should tell you on a PC. Basically you only need to use your browser to connect the mc200air to your router, that was to use the Airplay feature. iTunes needs to be running, or you need an apple device to use airplay. The mc200air will also connect to any DLNA certified device. Outside of my needs and I can't help you there.

Yes. There is a product called AirFoil. It allows you to stream to any airplay device with no problem. I have 3 of these speakers and can play to them all in sync from my windows 7 pc.

You'll have to use the USB port as this unit come's with the old plug, not the ThunderboltOr you may add an Airport Express and wireless connect your music from any of the apple or other brand's gadgets or phonesThis equipment has pretty good sound, specially of you combine it with a sub-woofer, the frequency responses are excellent.

Hi Susan, you can use this to connect to itunes. However, connecting this to your PC/MacBook will not give you internet access. This is a form of "tethering". You may want to research this on the net. Lastly, check with your wireless service for a "hotspot" plan... of course and unfortunately, there's a monthly fee for that plus equipment. Good luck! Aloha!

The A7 did allow me to stream music directly from my iPhone, IPad , computer ect. I ended up returning the unit because I just could not get satisfying sound from a single speaker. I decided to use AirPort Extreme and Apple TV to stream to my stereo system. Good luck.

Nope. This is just a mp3 player with a few useless add-ons. There is no wireless or anything like that. The ui is awful. Avoid

You can plug it in via alternate input sources, but it won't be wireless. If you don't use a source that streams Airplay, you will have to physically connect it with a cable.

Yes, the AirPort Express will quite easily join your WiFi network and stream all your iTunes music. What you can not do is use the AirPort Express to extend the range of your AT&T; DSL router's wireless network.

Any modem, along with a router, should work. I downloaded the Bose Soundtouch ap and stream music from Pandora controlled from my Mac, iPhone and iPads. I also play music from iTunes, both my loaded or purchased CDs and from the radio choice. The sound is excellent and can even be listened to from another floor of my house. This Bose system produces wonderful music without speakers, wires, etc. I love it.

Sorry, not sure I understand your question. You don't need a laptop to run this machine. You can have your tracks on a USB stick or use the Rekordbox app on iDevices to wirelessly play tracks on your iPhone or ipad. Was that your question?

There is support for zone 2 but airplay to 2 different zones will require an airport express or Apple TV if you want to listen to different music at the same time

You can easily link up to airport express from iPhone and you can link to your computer. I don't think you can stream to both at same time.

No you can't You have to take the USB cable And we connected to the computer to the device And you have to run your DJ software that comes with it That's how you'll be able to play the music
