  Getting in Tune with AirPort Express

You don't mention using the Airport Express to play internet radio stations off of your stereo. Do you know if it can handle this, or is it limited to streaming your iTunes music collection?


Thanks

    Good point. I remember doing that right after I got the AirPort Express just to see how it worked. I'm sorry I didn't mention it in the article.

    Anyway, I just tuned into SmoothJazz.com at 128 kbps and took some readings with Activity Monitor. It looks like doing this averages 6.13% CPU utilization in iTunes.

      I have just the exact same question: I want to listen to US and British radio stations. Question is, can I use airport express for that? And I'm not talking about the lame internet radio stations that are preselected in I-Tunes. How about BBC and local radio stations? Somehow I havent been able to get them even when I opened "open stream" in I-Tunes.

      Would you mind telling me how you do it?
      Apple seem to say they don't officially support it.
      I'm hoping my dear old mother will be able to listen to Irish radio while visiting me in Sydney!
      Many thanks

        Oops: just to clarify , what i meant to say was does anyone know how to add a radio station and stream it with real player via airtunes/airport express?
