Sling Media, the makers of the Slingbox device that allows users to stream media from their TV to any PC or mobile phone, are apparently creating an interface to allow users to stream their iTunes music library anywhere in the world.

The application will utilise Apple TV and a Slingbox and would allow you to access the music collection on your home PC from a cell phone anywhere in the world.

Apparently the company is working on the interface and will be releasing it soon.

“It is definitely something we will support,” said Brian Jaquet, a Sling Media spokesman. While he would not reveal any time frame for availability, he confirmed that the company is currently testing the interface and ensuring that the infrared codes and software can correctly control the Apple TV box.

If it works as planned, content could be streamed from the PC to the Apple TV to the SlingBox and finally to a phone running any of the three mobile platforms supported by the SlingPlayer software–Windows Mobile, Palm or Symbian. This set-up might be a bit complex and pricey ($300 for the Apple TV and at least $150 for the SlingBox) but it would make a person’s entire music collection available practically anywhere without a fistful of pricey memory cards.
