Hi David,

The button for the remote speakers doesn't show up in iTunes if you
are not within range of an AirPort Express that you can stream to.

When you setup your AirPort Express, one of the things you do is 
give it a Base Station name like "Study". This allows you to check
the IP Address, form of wireless security used, firmware version, 
and wireless channel for that unit through the AirPort Admin Utility.
Once you've set up your AirPort Express, whether or not you have 
speakers connected to it, when you start iTunes there will be a 
button that allows you to stream your music away from your speakers
to any available AirPort Express location.  The easiest way to 
navigate to this button is to use VO-keys left arrow from the 
"Previous" button you'll be on when you open iTunes. VO left past the
eject button, the browse button, and possibly the burn or import
CD button (depending on whether you have a playlist selected in your
source list, or whether you have a CD in your drive).  There should
be a button where you can reset your output from your computer 
speakers to any of the available AirPort Express base stations by
name (e.g., "Study", "Living Room", "David's Den" or any other such
location).

HTH.  Cheers,

Esther 

P.S. I just noticed that I reversed the keyboard shortcuts for the
previous and next buttons in my post on iTunes -- a moment of 
dyslexia because I actually press the left arrow (with Command-left
arrow) to get the previous song in a song list when songs are playing.
I don't type "left arrow" or "right arrow" <smile>.  So, for the 
"previous" button, read Command-left arrow as the shortcut, and for
the "next" button, read Command-right arrow (or switch "left" and 
"right" in my description of shortcuts in the previous post).
