Thanks darcy, so to be absolutely clear, you can use the express wirelessly so you can actually place it near your stereo and receive wirelessly through the network right?

What you do is have the express join your wireless network. Then you plug the audio jack in to your stereo, so the the express will have to be relatively close to your stereo. They don't give you any audio cables with the express. You can buy apple's airport express connection kit, which gives you audio cables and a power extension cord. If you don't require the extension cord, then any audio cable will do the trick. Depending on the inputs on your stereo, you may need one of those cords with the headphone type connector on one end, and the two RCA connectors on the other end. It's worth noting that you can have the airport express join any existing wifi network. I for example have it connect to my linksys router. However, as I understand it, it will only act as a wifi extender if it's connected to an extreme.
