What is the best way to remotely stream iTunes content?
Hello,
I have a rather large iTunes library (approximately 1TB) made up of Videos (iTunes and non-iTunes) and audio (iTunes and Audible) currently sitting on a 3TB external drive. I was wondering what is the best ie. most effieicent/affordable method to access my iTunes library, on my laptop, when I'm not at home?
I've tried iTunes Match in the past yet, unfortunately, iTunes Match has always succeeded in destroying parts of my iTunes library forcing me to restore from backup (which takes several hours). The only other options that I've been able to find are either 1) Buying a 1TB+ portable external drive and puting my iTunes library on it (costs around $150 for 2TB) or 2) Buying a Slingbox 350 ($180, not sure if a service subscription is required) and watch my iTunes Library through my 3rd Gen Apple TV.
Given that iTunes Match was so problematic for me in the past, are these my only other options? Does anyone know of a better solution as to how I can do this?
Any assistance with this will be greatly appreciated.
