I have an Apple TV question. I have looked everywhere and surprisingly not found an answer.

The question is how do I stream music that is mp3 and other actual music files from the Mac to the Apple TV?
I want to directly stream the files and not use the cloud or an apple music sub.
Is this possible and if so how can it be done?

Thanks in advance.

You would use Apple's Home Sharing feature so the Apple TV could see your Mac's Music libraries/playlists/songs. https://support.apple.com/guide/tv/stream-content-to-apple-tv-atvbc876df1e/tvos

Apple Support

Stream content with Home Sharing on Apple TV

Set up Home Sharing to stream music, movies, TV shows, and other iTunes content from a computer, an iOS device, or an iPadOS device to your Apple TV.

This does not require an Apple Music sub, but it does rely on your network to stream the files from the Mac onto the Apple TV.

Thank you so much.

That seems very straight forward.
On the weekend I will try it out and share my (assumed success) here.

Why I asked is I am moving and the other person had a telco provider box.
I want to upgrade it to an Apple TV as it can do a lot more than the telco box can.
