Hello
I think Andre's problem is that he does not want to use iTunes to stream. I
too have the Express and unlike many folks I like iTunes.

Subject: Re: lossless music streaming by wifi
This can be made so very simple, buy an Apple Airport Express plug it into
the Line-in of your Hi-Fi in the other room and stream to your hearts
content.
If your Hi-Fi has a digital input then you can make full use of this by
using the digital output of the Airport Express.
You can also put the Airport Express to good use as an extra Wireless
Access Point, Wireless Extender etc.
I think the Airport Express is only $50 now, about the same cost as a good
RCA lead and yep, I wouldn't like to risk running a long RCA lead, the
possability of more interference and loss of quality is certainly there.
I don't want to brag but streaming around my house is my passion so yeah,
I like to think I know one or two things about streaming or getting
audio/video from one location to another <smile>.

Hi all
Am moving to a new flat and have to sort out my sound stuff now.
I play all my music through the computer now. My hifi system will be
standing in one room and my computer in another one.
So I need to get the sound from one to the other.
I have the following options:
1. Using the output of a digital to audio converter and lay down
an
RCA to RCA cable of quite a few meters from one room to the other. This
might be the cheapest way. But with such a long cable you will start to
find interference as these cables are not supposed to be so long. And
you
do also get some sound reduction.
2. Using some kind of LAN device. I do not know if such a thing
exist at all – a device with which you can stream music ythrough LAN
that
has an analog output. It would also necessitate the laying of long
cables
which could also be a problem.
3. Then there is the option I may want to examine. My question is
whether with the technology available today it is possible to stream
music
in lossless format through a WIFI connection. I would like to do this
using
my media player of choice which is Foobar 2000 at present. I don’t want
to
use Itunes as I find it cumbersome and limited.
Any suggestions about which way to go?
