Apple TV just impressed the hell out of me
David Chartier on May 14th, 2008
I’m in the basement about to shut down the Mac Pro that houses our entire iTunes library. Jessi is upstairs using the Apple TV to stream an album from the Mac Pro. So I don’t interrupt her music or grading, I put the album on a playlist in iTunes, synced the playlist to the Apple TV (while it was still streaming), then shut down the Mac Pro so I could swap out a hard drive (remember how much I love playing inside our Mac Pro?). The Apple TV, to my surprise, kept playing straight through the album without skipping a beat.
Jessi never knew or had to be bothered by the fact that I cut off the stream. The Apple TV just switched to the local copies of the songs I synced up and kept on playing.
Smart.
