Pure Music Question


I have a question about how to use Pure Music with a wireless system. I currently have three systems, one using an Airport Express and two using Apple TV's connected to external DAC's. Music resides in a 1 TB hard drive connected via an Apple Airport wireless. Everything is controlled by iTunes running on an iMac using an iPod Touch with the Remote app.

I have downloaded the Pure Music demo and run into a hitch. It launches seamlessly but fails to play through any of the "speakers" I have selected in iTunes. When playing straight through iTunes without PM, no problem. It does play through my iMac speakers and I think sounds like a big improvement, but who listens through internal desktop speakers?

I have been able to highjack the PM stream and direct it to my systems using Airfoil, but short of using a desktop controller on my iPod Touch, nothing else works. PM seems like a great and reasonably priced upgrade, but to make it practical, I need to be able to use my Touch to control iTunes remotely while PM is running. I have spoken with PM's tech support, but no luck.

Any ideas?

Hey All, I have a question about PM. Can I use all these features with Apple TV 1? I know the new Apple TV streams everything...so you're probably out of luck. But Apple TV 1 is basically a mini harddrive. Can I upsample and get the same benifits through my DAC? (the same as I would plugging direct into the MAC? Thanks for your advise.
I don't think so. WiFi is still limited to 16/44.1 whether its an airport express or apple tv....
Got it, thanks Agear. Might have to wait on this until I upgrade to the mini mac.
Can Pure Music be used with a Squeezebox Touch that receives music over wifi? Based on various things I've read on these forums and in reviews, I was under the impression that it could. But the messages in this thread seem mixed on that. Could it be that there has been an upgrade that makes that possible now?

I just downloaded Pure Music and it plays on my computer. But I can't tell for sure if it is sending the music to my SQ Touch via Pure, or if its just iTunes. Is there any way to know for sure? There is nothing in the Touch screen to suggest it is doing anything different. On my computer monitor, it shows that it is playing from Pure M. Help?
Can you stream Pure Music to SQ Touch over wireless? The Pure Music website is rather confusing about this, but I've read in reviews of the Touch that it works well with Pure Music. I just downloaded it, and it seems to be working when I play music directly on my computer. And I'm able to play both Pure and iTunes directly on the computer, and can tell which is which both by the improved sound of Pure and by the fact that the PAUSE symbol doesn't show up over the PLAY symbol when playing a song.

But I can't tell for sure if what is now being sent to my Touch is the Pure Music or just iTunes. There's nothing on the Touch screen that suggests a change. After installing Pure Music, do you need to make any adjustments to anything (like the SQ server) to tell it to use Pure instead of iTunes?

Thanks
