Re: Mark IV and Streaming Radio with Macintosh

2007-06-11 by jheitzeb1

The pdf document did not come over as an attachment.

Am interested in this information.  I just subscribed to the Disklavier Radio and am VERY 
pleased with it.  The Jazz channel is outstanding.  I am using a Macintosh portable hooked 
via ethernet cable to my Mark IV while putting the Mac in "share internet" mode via 
ethernet.  I would like to do this wirelessly.  I will probably buy the airport express 
hardware as suggested in this thread, but am waiting for the newer revision.

thanks,
Joan

I already had a wireless network in my home so this was all that was necessary.  It's tucked 
up under the piano and can't be seen.
