I do not own an apple TV. I would like to stream my music from my home pc to my ipad only. How can I accomplish this with the least amount of hastle. From what I have been reading home sharing does not work with the ipad ... correct?
Home Sharing is not available to the iPad yet. (I want it as well. 😟 ) But there are a few apps that do stream music and video to the iPad, iPhone & iPod Touch. Take a look at:
StreamToMe looks like it could work for you, although I have never used it. The (small) catch is that you need to install something on your Mac/PC that streams the music to that app on your iPad. So it's not s integrated as iTunes, but may be sufficient for you.
The app FileBrowser can stream videos from your computer to the iPad. This app doesn't require an app on your computer to make this work, other streaming apps do. You can stream up to 1080p videos to the iPad.
