Setting Up AirPort Express Base Station For Wireless Music Streaming

AirPlay Direct, which will reportedly not require a wi-fi network to make a connection, has been rumoured for some time - but is still not available from Apple. You can connect it to an existing Hi-Fi or set of speakers and stream audio from any Apple device on your network without having to buy a whole new sound system. Such a system consists of a compact, low-power amplifier, a set of quality bookshelf speakers, and an AirPort Express.

Select the one you want to to, start playing the music, and you'll hear it in that room. Click it to see a menu with the names of all your Airport Express base stations. You can only ever stream one source from one device, and if that device goes out of range you will lose your audio.
Setting Up AirPort Express Base Station For Wireless Music Streaming - Depending on whether you have an existing Wi-Fi network, or if you are using your AirPort Express as a standalone Wi-Fi device, there are several options available for you to choose from.
