I have been using iTunes for years but would never go to Apple TV or Airport Express instead of using my Squeezeboxes and LMS. Why? The Apple devices, using the digital outs to my DACs, sound like crap. The Squeezebox Classics and Touch that I use sound as good as my CDs in a good player. The OP is not really an "audiophile" type listener as he admits he doesn't even insist on streaming lossless files. If MP3's sound OK to you, I'm sure Apple devices are fine. Also, my stereo systems are in different rooms from my TV so that is a nonstarter as well. Apple TV is cool for streaming movies but that is all--IMO. As a music player it is merely adequate--like listening to an iPod in your car.
