Can the WiFi repeater functionality be disable to just use this device to receive AirPlay streamed music via a PC w/ iTunes?

Yes, you just don't use or set up the repeater function. if mine is set up in repeater mode. repeater mode is news to me because i just use mine for AirPlay.

yes, it will work as an access point, meaning you connect to its own SSID (WiFi Broadcast Name) and use Airplay.

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.

I don't think you can stream (or push) music to multiple Airplay devices from an iOS device. BUT, that is easily possible from a Mac computer, I do this frequently at home to play the same music in the living room, office and the kitchen.The free "Remote" app from Apple for the iPhone/iPad will let you remotely control iTunes on your Mac from anywhere on the same network. Change songs, playlists, etc... and also select for multiple Airplay speakers to play music from your Mac. Likely a similar experience to what you are asking in your question, but an extra step or two involved. Easy enough to do though.

I believe this is a feature of Airplay that you would be able to do as long as all of the units are connected to the same wireless network as the source device. You could also get an aux splitter to go to multiple units from one device if you are using corded but that seems like a real hassle and eyesore. You may be able to find more cost effective solutions like a multiple-room wireless receiver

Is it possible? Yes. Is it practical? No. Based on app version 2.6.6, firmware 2.9, iPhone w/ 7.0.4, iPad w/ 6.1.3, the app doesn't directly support AirPlay. You can do it by: 1. Connect Media Drive to your home access point over wifi. 2. Determine the Media Drive's IP address on your home wifi network. This is NOT the 192.168.11.1 address of the Media Drive's self-generated wifi network. 3. Access the web portal through the browser by entering the IP address of step 2. You need to use a browser that allows User Agent spoofing (I use Mercury). Set the User Agent to some desktop browser. If the drive thinks you're connecting with a mobile browser, it will instead prompt you to connect with the app. 4. Browse to the video of your choice, click twice, and stream to Apple TV. This is both cumbersome and requires a lot of free bandwidth on your home network. The stream is bouncing from Media Drive, to router, to iPad, back to router, to Apple TV. My experience has been that it's not a great solution.

You can bypass this by downloading an equalizer app and sending music through the equalizer via Airplay. That gives you the control to adjust base, trebles etc.

I would not purchase if you need AirPlay. I have spent over two hrs. with tech support. Updated firmware only to find out that the chip in the device is two generations outdated. Apple changed its standard and this device does not meet it. Very good sound, and a great price. If you need Air Play if my work in your environment, but save the packaging and be prepared to return it. Sorry.

With this controller I don't think you will be able to, unless you are using it through app such as virtual dj's remote iOS app if you are using that, or traktor's new iOS app. However they will be passing right through to your pc and will have no control over this controller. Not sure of your overall goal, are you trying to access your music library, or use your ipad as an extension of the controller, or just control the software? If you want access to your devices library, perhaps the new xdj-aero with wireless connectivity is what your looking for?

I don't use I tunes but it will allow it from media played which is obviously native to most of the PC operating, sorry not an apple fan!

This will transmit whatever you play on or stream through your computer to the receiver. My receiver is hooked up to my high-end stereo in my den so I stream or play whatever I want through a high fidelity system.Also, if it's not playing, just right click on the speaker icon in the system tray and select "Playback devices," and select the "SB for iTunes." However, iTunes is irrelevant to this process. That's just a marketing gimmick.

Yes, it's working fine for me. Google "spotify OSX airplay" and you will get to the Spotify support page detailing how to do it

Yes you can stream comfortably from iTunes, cumbersome from windows media player, streaming videos-no. It is very limited at best.

Have you tried opening the task manager and ending the Link or airplay process? I've noticed this eats up a HUGE amount of memory and slows down the laptop. If you don't use this program, you can probably end it or uninstall it.

As others noted, you can use a repeater with ethernet outs for this purpose. I use a Netgear wireless-N repeater that works fine for this, and listen to internet radio (BBC, Martha's Vineyard, etc.) fairly frequently. It also helps ensure that firmware is kept updated, although that's not needed very often.

Unfortunately, over AirPlay, there's only audio. However, apps such as YouTube have the ability to stream video and audio to the receiver over a wifi network.

You can stream to multiple AirPlay devices from iTunes on OS/X - but not on iPad/iPhone. You can even set different relative volume levels for each of the multiple devices.

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.
