Music Sharing. You’ve put together an extensive digital music collection in iTunes and arranged it into playlists to suit your every mood. Now you want to enjoy it in your living room on your home stereo, not just in the room where your computer sits. Now you can, thanks to AirPort Express with AirTunes. iTunes screenshot showing AirTunes

Plug. Play. Rock out. AirTunes takes the music from the iTunes library on your computer and sends it wirelessly to any stereo or speakers in your home. All you have to do is plug an AirPort Express into an electrical outlet near those speakers, then connect them with an audio cable.

In iTunes, you can choose which speakers you want your music to play on - in your kitchen, living room or bedroom. If you have more than one AirPort Express connected to speakers, you can play the same music on all your speakers at the same time to create a whole-house musical experience.

Party Central. If you already have a wireless network in place, you can use AirPort Express to add music to its capabilities. Let’s say, for example, you have AirPort Extreme set up in your study. There’s no need to scrap this setup and create a whole new network. Simply connect AirPort Express to your stereo in your favourite music room and plug it into an electrical outlet - it wirelessly links to your existing network, letting you play your music in your room of choice without moving anything or connecting anything else.

Wireless Printing. Ever wish you had more than one printer in your home - one for every computer so you never have to go far to print? Say you want to print a Google Map from the living room, or your son wants to print his school report from his bedroom. Taking each computer into the study simply to print something is inconvenient, and buying a printer for every room is expensive.

A printer in every room. Virtually. With wireless printing through AirPort Express, it’s almost like having a printer in every room of the house. AirPort Express uses the Mac and PC compatible Bonjour networking technology to let everyone in the house take advantage of one centrally available printer. Wirelessly, of course1.

Good to print. Here’s how simple it is to set up: just plug the printer into the USB port on the AirPort Express Base Station, add it to the printer list on your Mac or PC and you’re good to print - without a single cable tethering anyone’s computer to the printer.

If all you want to do is access your USB printer wirelessly, you don’t even need a broadband Internet connection. You can just set up your AirPort Express for wireless printing and that’s it.

Internet Sharing. With AirPort Express connected to your ADSL or cable modem, up to 10 users at a time can surf the web, send email, annihilate the competition in multiplayer games and much more - wire-free1.

More than the web. AirPort Express connects people to each other as well. You can wirelessly share photos, movies and other files without having to worry about slow data transmissions. Nor do you have to concern yourself with a difficult network setup. AirPort Express uses the Bonjour technology in Mac OS X to allow your AirPort-equipped Mac computers running Mac OS X to find each other with no effort on your part - they discover each other just by virtue of being in range of the network.

Extended range. If you already have a wireless network in your home and would like to extend its range, AirPort Express is the answer. For example, suppose you want to extend the range of your current AirPort-based network to your garden, garage or attic. You can use AirPort Express as a wireless bridge to extend the range of your primary base station2.

There’s no need for extra wires or cables. Just place AirPort Express in range of your primary base station (either an AirPort Extreme Base Station or another AirPort Express Base Station) and near the area where you want your wireless connection. With its easy portability, you can even move AirPort Express from place to place. So if you want to connect wirelessly from your basement one day and your garage the next, just plug it in within range of the primary base station and in a spot near those areas.

Wireless to go. Compact and portable, AirPort Express is also a great way to share Internet access when you go on the road. Say your hotel suite offers only a wired network connection. Just plug it into your AirPort Express and set up the wireless network with the simple AirPort Utility.
