Apple TV

only if the ipod touch can play airplay then yes it wouldn't be a problem

The very original iPod Touch won't as it won't run the new iOS 4.2 software (I know cos I have one ). I think only the 2G and above Touch does this.

Yes, if you have a current Touch, upgrade it to iOS 4.2 and update your new Apple TV to software v4.1, then you can stream music via AirPlay. Lots more info about this in my AirPlay blog.

I must say, it works really well, and means I don't have to have a PC on to stream music.  I've noticed that lower bit-rate files show up more than I expected.  Lossless is fine.

Very useful.

As my A/V receiver can also stream music using bluetooth using ipod touch,just wondering if AirPlay presents a better sound quality using apple tv.

Interesting question, haven't done an A/B comparison between AirPlay and Bluetooth yet as my AV receiver isn't Bluetooth compatible.

wow airplay - its like dlna from about 7 years ago - except it works with less than 10% gadgets.

Another useless pile of rubbish from apple though they expect u to pay a premium for it.

Yay for apple fanboy sites like whathifi

Don't hold back, edsib1 - say what you think...

except it works

lol i think edsib1 is only here to agree to disagree with everything thats said , i don't think i've seen one constructive comment from you .

Apple airplay has only just come out edsib1 and there are major company's backing airplay like Marantz and B&W things are going to get pretty interesting 

And for Mac/iPhone owners (and there are rather a lot of the latter) it's a very simple plug 'n' play multiroom entertainment system that can stream video and audio. Can't imagine why people might be interested in that

All Apple should have done is support DLNA.

But of course they dont - they want to trap people into using proprietary hardware/software.

Too many people seem happy to sleepwalk into a closed, drm-based proprietary architecture, and pay over the odds for the privilege.

I don't feel especially trapped...

Maybe because it works like a dream
