Is there a way to stream without having iTunes open?

[JasonH]

Hey guys,

Just got a Apple TV Take 2, and found that it will only stream content if iTunes is open on my mac.

Is there anyway to get around this?

Thanks,
Jason

Let me rephrase that, since it sounds like I'm a moron....

I understand that iTunes has to be open, but I'm more interested if it's possible to run iTunes as a background process on login (like running as a windows service) or making it run without having it open and/or minimized.

Never mind...I just answered my own question. I totally forgot about Login Items under Accounts in System Prefs.

Sorry for the waste of space.

As long as Tunes running your fine. I have mine open and hidden on start-up and it works every time.
