“Does it work for audio files from iTunes? I have a TV and CD connected to my home theater surround sound. I want to replace the CD turntable with digital music. I'm wondering if this device will stream audio playing on a PC using iTunes. Or is there a better program to use to convert all my CDs?”

No, this device will not connect your PC (iTunes) to your TV. I recommend Apple TV if that's what you're looking for.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.If you plan to use itunes to play the CDs, I would recommend that you purchase apple TV. you can connect through the wireless network to your home computer to play the music in your itunes library stored on the PC or on any ipad or iphone connected to your home network. if you have music on the icloud, you can also access that music and play it. The cost is $99 compared to the $39 cost of chromecast. If you are planning to connect to itunes or play movies that were purchased through itunes, you will be much happier with the Apple TV.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.There is a way to make this work. If your music collection is already in iTunes, things should be pretty simple. Download Google Play Music Manager. It will automatically transfer all of your music over to Google Play Music. (You may want to do this overnight) Once completed, Download the Google Play Music app. From there you can stream all of your music through your T.V via the Chromecast.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The Chromecast media player is meant to display video and render audio through an HDMI stream (which combines video and audio) which originates from a web site such as Netflix or Hulu. Chromecast is not a device to connect a PC to a receiver/TV. You may consider putting all your CD's in a media library on your computer by "ripping" the CD's in iTunes (Apple calls it "Import") and to play your iTunes media library through your receiver. You can hook up the headphone-out to line-in on your receiver but many PC's have only so-so digital to analog converters which means that you hear PC noise and distortion through a good quality receiver and speakers. Or you can connect your PC digitally (through an SP/DIF connector and coaxial cable) to your receiver. A cleaner solution is to play your digital media through your home network on your network-connected receiver. Some receivers are able to play iTunes libraries through the network, and many play music through DLNA, which includes Windows Media. Many receivers include an USB port to which you can connect an USB disk or device with an USB output through which MP3 files, Windows Media but rarely Apple AAC format media can be played.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I believe you can use Google play to upload your music (up to 20000 songs) and stream from there.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The Chromecast HDMI Streaming Media Player can be used to stream any digital content, include iTune files. I would recommend ripping (converting) all your CD's to mp3 files. Windows media player (included with windows 8, 7 and XP) can do this right from the media player.
