Share the music, man!

Section: iPod + iTunes, Apple TV, iPod touch, iPod Family, iTunes, iPod, iPod shuffle, iPod nano, iPhone + Communications, iPhone, Mac + Computers, Wireless, AirportGot an Airport Express Base Station or an AppleTV?

Then you, my friend, could be streaming your music through your home stereo system, and Macworld tells you how: If you have an AirPort Express Base Station, string an audio cable between its audio port and an input port on a stereo receiver or powered speakers. Launch AirPort Utility (found in /Applications/Utilities), select your AirPort Express, configure it so it’s part of your network, and click the Music tab. In this tab enable the Enable AirTunes option and click Update. Your AirPort Express is now ready to receive music streamed to it from iTunes. And there’s even more, including how to set up your AppleTV to stream music, and how to use your iPhone or iPod Touch as a remote control. It’s the world of tomorrow, today!
