Airport express

I listen to a classical music station on the web that streams to iTunes on my new wireless laptop from an older airport base station (not extreme)



I bought an Airport express hoping to get the music wirelessly onto my stereo by plugging my express into the stereo.



I can listen to music that I downloaded to my computer that way, but not the station that is coming from the base station.



If I buy a new Airport Extreme base station can I do it? Can it be done easily?



To summarize: What I want to do is listen to music from the web wirelessly with my Airport Express.

    You can make the Airport Express a client on the network and then stream (using AirTunes) from your notebook. I do this presently with my desktop PC, my PC notebook, and my iBook. Works perfectly!

    Must I purchase a Extreme Base station for this to work or can I make the Express a client on the network using the older base station?

    I think you can make the express a client of any network - but it'll only extend the range of an Extreme network.



    Why don't you plug your internet connection into the express? That'd also work...
