Faster is better
Now with blazing 802.11n, the affordable AirPort Express is powerful enough to run a home Wi-Fi network, yet small enough to take on the road.

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.

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.

The remote, reinvented
If you have an iPhone or iPod touch, you can use it to control your iTunes library from any room in your home. Just download the Remote application for free at the App Store. Then you can browse music and movies, control volume, and choose any speakers connected to an AirPort Express or Apple TV. At last, a remote that rocks.
