AirPort Express with AirTunes is an incredible wireless product that allows you to play iTunes music over your wireless network to your home stereo or powered speakers.
Using the new AirTunes feature, you can play your iTunes music wirelessly from your computer to any room where you want to entertain, listen, or relax. Simply connect your AirPort Express to your home stereo or powered speakers and iTunes 4.6 automatically detects that remote speakers are available. Anything that can be played on iTunes can be played on the remote speakers -- including your music library, CDs, iTunes Music Store previews, iTunes radio, as well as audiobooks.
With multiple AirPort Express base stations, customers can redirect their music stream to different rooms around the house by simply selecting the appropriate remote speakers from a pop-up menu in iTunes.
With its built-in combination analog and digital audio connector, AirPort Express can be connected to conventional powered analog speaker systems or the latest digital 5.1 surround sound systems. AirTunes uses the Apple Lossless Encoder to play CD quality music over the air.

Currently wired up to my Cine amp via a optical connection. It took awhile to set up (non-standard network set) but it works so well and sounds fantastic. My laptop has my entire music collection stored on it, so a can instantly find the song I want a it plays through my amp, I can control the volume, equaliser without even moving away from the keyboard.
The best £90 I've spent in ages!
