I put a post in the home cinema section about music servers and the suggestion was an Airport Express with AirTunes.
My original post is here:

I had a few questions which may be better asked here as they relate to the hardware:
Would it work with Vista?
Does the 'Airport Express with AirTunes' come with the audio cables or do I need to buy them seperately? They have some listed on the Apple store but it is not clear whether these are required or just upgrade cables from the basic ones included.
I already have a wireless network. Do I need to integrate it into that or can I use it standalone just with iTunes or would I need to specifically 'connect to a network' on the PC for it to work?
Where is the processing of the audio file happening? On my PC or the Express unit? Just wondering about the DAC? Or am I getting confused?

I get a little lost when technologies start to merge!


Thanks

Thanks very much.
Think I might give it a go as it seems a much cheaper option thana full blown music server.

No more questions - yet! Hopefully it will be straight forward....
