Airport Express with itunes

I want one of the above so I can wirelessly stream tracks from my laptop through my home stereo, does anybody have a second hand one for sale at all? (cheap)

Have bike, will travel :)

Love, kisses and wet dog licks

Oh and if you can think of another way of doing it cheaper (without cables) then please do let me know! ta

I like the idea of that but does anyone know if you can use itunes to stream to it?

I'm using windows so no problem there.

I know the Airport express and Airtunes shows automatically on itunes hence why i was interested in that, but the above would be fine, if it works with itunes of course.

Thing is only works with itunes which is great but...anything outside of that app it doesnt like.
i got one and a long monster gold plated cable. State side is cheaper for these kinda things.

I'm afraid they'll be no spanking for you today, you're right, i'm using itunes, with windows, on a sony vaio (not that it makes any difference).

I like the idea above as i could use a set of active harmon kardon hardon speakers and plug them straight into the philips jobby, would save having an amplifier on show, but if it doesnt work with itunes i'm not about to swap music programs.

I use (actually hardly ever use it now honestly) but when i do...
Airport Express and Itunes and then use airfoil to stream other things like VLC
You can have one program playing out the airport and the other out your laptop
its pretty cool.

You can get them on eBay pretty cheap.

A friend at uni got one without box/packaging for about 30gn.

Better yet, skip the stereo and get a pair of active speakers.

I use these: http://www.guitarampkeyboard.com/en/71951
