    MacBook Pro / Bluetooth / audio-streaming ?

    Hi all,

    Just purchased a MacBook Pro and i was wondering if i play music wireless via Bluetooth.

     
    Currently, to play music wireless, i use a Sony Ericsson K800i with a wireless music receiver (MBR-100)

    to play the music from the phone through the speakers of the Beosystem 6500.

     

    Does the Bluetooth of the MacBook Pro support the service "Audio Streaming" ?

    Hi and thanks for your reply.

    It finds the wireless music receiver and classifies it as "headset",

    but then it displays "no supported services" ,

    whereas the K800i finds the audio receiver and displays these services:

    "Audiostreaming" and "remote control for audio"

    If it sees it as a headset it may require a passkey. Only guessing.

    You will need a "Stereo Bluetooth" enable device. (A2DP). 

    I googled it an it seems that Apple doesnt do that yet

    You may want to search some more but why would you not want to use an airport express?

    Yes, i will get an Airport Express, eventually.

    For the moment, the new MacBook Pro and the recent B&O purchases have depleted my savings Smile

    Hi,

    AirPort Express & Monster-cables were delivered today Smile
    Very easy to install /setup.
    iTunes is now playing through BeoSystem 6500 Smile

    Next step is to learn the Apple Remote codes into the Lintronic converter
    so that i can control iTunes by Beo4.

    I have to say that so far, i'm enjoying the swith to Mac,
    and i ask myself why i didn't make the swith earlier ! 

    Thanks for the advise regarding AirPort Express Smile
