Hi,
I have an IPAD Mini and my music resides on a Seagate Central NAS on my home network. While I can play the music using
the Seagate Media App from the Ipad Mini the interface / presentation etc is poor...so I am wondering are there any music player
apps that display the music library and are user friendy like jriver or even itunes itself that can see the files on the NAS from the Ipad Mini?
Thanks
iPad Mini, iOS 9.2
Hello steve3174,
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you media is on an external Seagate NAS and you would like to be able to access that music on your iPad. One option to accomplish this is Home Sharing. I would suggest reading the following article for information on Home Sharing to see if it will meet your needs.
Use Home Sharing to share iTunes content with other devices - Apple Support
Cheers!
Thanks Joe,
I wanted to be able to use just the iPad and NAS and Bluetooth speaker to play ALAC files from the NAS.
At present I can play from the iPad / NAS to the Bluetooth speaker using the Seagate Media app or an app called PlayerExtreme but their presentation / user friendliness is not good (in my opinion).
While I can use a PC also with jRiver or iTunes I was hoping to not have to use a PC and just the iPad / NAS/Bluetooth Speaker if possible but have a well presented music player.
VLC Player app on the iPad also works and is a bit more functional. But nothing with the presentation of other music players that can run on a NAC or PC.
Maybe just a limitation of iPad's ability.
VLC for iOS only seems to play 1 music file at a time....ie even though you select an album and can see all the tracks I cant find a way to play all the tracks on the album except for play 1 track it stops when track finished..then play another etc..
best option so far is 8player app for ipad...unless anyone can suggest any better app for ipad....
not too many replies....must be the only person doing this...::
Ipad Mini music server..music located on separate NAS
