Hello Folks

I'm using an Apple Airport Express to stream music from my Windows-LapTop to my Stereo.
The only problem until now was that I had to use Apple iTunes :-[
But I just found a nice little program called "Airfoil" and which can stream from any Audio-program to multiple Airport Express  ;D
Have a look here : http://www.rogueamoeba.com/airfoil/windows/

The program costs 25US$, but you can download the fully functional demoversion.

I didn't have time to test it right now.

As soon as I have some experience with it, I'll post.

I've used it.  There is too much of a delay.  I prefer the linksys wmb54g.

I made my first tests today.
Yes it works but . . . the delay isn't really nice.
If you're playing music for a long time it's ok, but if you like to change music regularly it's a quite annoying to wait.

I'd also prefer the Linksys, but . . . I didn't find in Switzerland :-(
It's also not available on the german website :-(

Linksys will perhaps make it available in the future.
Until then I'll have to use the Apple Airport with Airfoil because iTunes sucks. . .

You could have someone ship it to you from the U.S., maybe...
