How do I get iTunes music to stream to stereo?

I just bought a new MacBook Pro and a Time Capsule. The Time Capsule has been connected to a cable modem.
Now my old Airport Express will not work. It's light glows amber. Is there a way to use this Airport Express only for music streaming, even though there's a Time Capsule? Should I install my old Airport Express (and/or Airport Extreme software that came with it) on the new MBP? Other solutions?
Thanks in advance for advice.

You need to reconfigure the express to join your network. Use the airport utility that came with Time capsule. First open airport utility to manually configure Time capsule. Note the name you've given to your network, and note the channel it is operating on. Next disconnect Time capsule ethernetly from the macbook if you are hard wired to it. If you are using airport wirelessly, unplug Time capsule and plug in the express. This should bring the express visable to the airport utility. If not click on the airport icon in the upper right corner of the macbook to connect to the express network. You now need to reconfigure the express so that it joins your network, filling in the network name, and changing the channel to the same as Time capsule. To do this click manual update,change your selection to "join a network" fill in the network Time capsule name, change the channel to the same as Time capsule. Click update, wait for the update to finish,note airport utility may not be able to find the express after the update, but now unplug the ethernet from the express, if you were hard wired, plug it back into Time capsule, if you were hard wired, wait for Time capsule to show up in airport utility and express should be there as well. in which case you are golden to stream airtunes. If Time capsule does't show up and you're using the macbook wirelessly go to the airport icon again to connect to your Time capsule network  Good luck I've spent numerous hours trying to get express' and extremes to play nice together. It's nowhere as easy as the ads suggest.
