iPod & iTunes: The Missing Manual, eMatter Edition

Chapter 13: Connecting the iPod (and iTunes)

259

Using iTunes with

AirPort Express

The second great thing, and way more exciting since this is iPod & iTunes: The

Missing Manual, is that the AirPort Express also makes it possible to call up a play-

list on your computer upstairs and have the music come out downstairs through

your stereo’s speakers. This is because the AirPort Express has a stereo cable jack in

addition to its Ethernet cable jack (Figure 13-4). The AirTunes software, included

with the AirPort Express, makes it happen, but you also need to be running iTunes

4.6 or later.

Setting up an AirPort Express to work with iTunes goes something like this:

1. Take the AirPort Express out of the box and plug it into the wall near the

stereo.

The AirPort Express itself looks like your iPod’s square white AC charger, only

larger and boxier. Be sure to pick an electrical outlet that’s within a cable’s reach

of both your stereo and your broadband modem.

Note: If you’ve already got a wireless network up and flowing, you don’t even need to place the AirPort

Express near the modem; just plug in the Express near the stereo—but within range of your main base

station—to ride the broadband waves.

2. Plug the Ethernet cable from your broadband modem or router into the Air-

Port Express.

This brings in the zippy Internet connection from your cable, satellite, or DSL

service into your AirPort Express, which can beam it out to all the wirelessly

Figure 13-4:

The AirPort Express (top) draws its power from a wall outlet and has jacks

on the bottom for connecting an Ethernet cable, a stereo cable, and even

a USB printer cable, so you can beam your documents to the connected

printer. Once you get the AirPort Express cabled up and ready to go, just

select its name in the pop-up menu in iTunes 4.6 or later (bottom) to

stream the music from your Mac or PC to the connected stereo or

speakers.
