Feb 26, 2016 2:22 PM in response to Zubenelgenubi Libraeby Tesserax,For AirPlay to work, you need at least three things:
- An AirPlay "server." Typically this would be iTunes on a Mac or PC, or the Music app on an iOS device (iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad).
- A wired or wireless network. This can be provided by an AirPort Extreme, an Express, or a Time Capsule.
- An AirPlay "speaker." This could be an AirPort Express, Apple TV, or another manufacturers' AirPlay-ready device.
The main difference between the Apple TV and the Time Capsule, is that the Apple TV can be #3 in the list above, whereas, the Time Capsule would be item #2.
