How to stream music from stereo onto Airport wireless system

I have an Imac and 2 stereo systems connected to their own airport express.  I can stream music from Itunes on my Imac to either stereo with no problem using airfoil software.  My question is can I use the apple network to play music FROM one stereo to the other stereo's speakers.  I want to do this because i have an old turntable connected to one stereo and would like to listen to it on my other stereo speakers sometimes. 

I'm having the same but have thought of a solution. 
First, it is a shame that others such as Tesserax are familiar with the capabilities of said products but offer no real creative solutions.  At one time I did consider myself the finest most creative solution providing technician in Los Angeles, yes working for the finest company on the planet (use your imagination), however, my time although not shortlived, did come to an end due to disagreement or two.  Long Live Vinyl, Praise the Turntable Sir (or Madam).
Now, Think outside the box.  No the stereo won't do it.  No the turntable won't.  Let's face it the impedance of the turntable's audio out is of no issue since you'd like to connect the stereo to the MBP (nice job on using fancy words kinda out of context Tesserax, way to cop out.).  So, given that the unit in question does have a stereo in, and the stereo itself does have a stereo out, then we do need something to bridge the connection.  Within this theory is a few options. So what's it gonna be my friend, wired, or wireless?
1. Connect MBP and Stereo (example implying that there is an RCA audio output, can be subbed with a headphone jack of 1/8 or 1/4 inch varieties)
     -Wired connection, STEREO to RCA/female 1/8 stereo to CABLE 1/8 stereo on both ends to MBP audio input.
     -Wireless connection, STEREO to RCA/female 1/8 stereo to BLUETOOTH TRANSMITTER to BLUETOOTH RECEIVER to MBP audio input.
2. Software
     -Purchase Airfoil
     -Fire up GarageBand create an audio track and monitor the input of the track (MBP audio in).
     -Tell Airfoil to stream audio anywhere you want on your network.
3. BAM enjoy, you can even get airfoil speakers, a great app, to do the dirty work of other airplay supported goodies.  That will turn your iOS stuffs, other macs, PCs, all into zones to stream to.
I haven't tested this yet, sounds pretty obvious, kicking myself for not thinking of it earlier.

    I also want to upgrade my hifi setup with the airport. But with macbook of late 2009 (OSx Lion) I wonder it would be possible to stream music form internet.
    On this forum, I could not find any guarantee that it might work with OSx ML.

  • How to stream music from an Airport Disk to iTunes?

    I have a new Airport Express (802.11n) and have a Maxtor hard drive hooked up as an Airport Disk. It's all networked and working fine, except I can't figure out how to stream songs from the hard drive (rather than import them into iTunes). Went to the Genius Bar, but they didn't know what I was talking about. Any ideas how to do this?

    I'm currently doing this in the following way.
    1. Copy your "Music" folder over to one of the external drives (I'd recommend connecting directly to the drive through USB if you can, since its faster).
    2. Hold down the option key when you open iTunes. It will ask you whether you want to make a new library or select one.
    3. Select the iTunes folder on the drive after you have that mounted again through the network.
    Voila, your music is stored remotely, adding music will go to the new drive.

  • Can't stream music from iPhone to airport express when connected to internet

    I have an issue with my airport express. When the unit is used solely for streaming music from my IPhone to connected stereo speakers without an Ethernet cable attached it works fine.  When I attach an Ethernet cable to the airport express and connect to the Internet on my iPhone, the airport express will no longer stream music from the iPhone. This is a recent problem, previously I was able to access the Internet on my iPhone from the airport express, whilst simultaneously streaming music from the iPhone back to the airport express.

    Do you mean Lan cable? Can this be done wirelessly from itunes to airport express without the internet connections?  I can't connect to an airport express that's not connected to the internet.

  • Stream music from iPad using Airport Express

    I have an AT&T Uverse router for my home wifi network.  I want to connect an Airport Express to a powered speaker, then stream music from my iPad (not from a Mac) to the speaker.  Is this possible?  If so, can someone describe how to do it?

  • Intermittent issue streaming music from iTunes to airport express

    I'm experiencing an issue when streaming music from my iMac to two airport expresses (1st generation). Music will be playing fine but once in a great while, when a new song starts it's like a digital bomb has gone off. It's similar to an amber alert coming through the speakers instead of music. When I stop the song and start it again, back comes the music. This has happened to many different song files so I've discounted the possibility that it's a corrupted file. I've not been able to determine any other pattern that would give me some insight into the root of the problem. The problem has existed across two different routers so doubtful that’s a factor either. All my software (iTunes and OS) are up to date and generally the system works well. Is anyone else experiencing this? Any solutions or advice? I’m at a loss on how to resolve.

    Update: this problem exists when just listening to music on iMac with iTues; no airport express or network involved. Something, somewhere in the software is causing this.

  • Problem streaming music from iPhone to airport express

    Hi
    I use a Airport express connected to my stereo to stream music from my iMac and iPhone. It works brilliantly and seamisily from my iMac but when i try to listen to music from my iPhone it connects up but then plays the music but it keeps dropping out and you hear the music but it seams to keep loosing the connection.
    the imac and iPhone are connected to the same wifi network as the airport express. If i lay the iphone near the wifi router it still drops the signal and drops the connection to the airport express
    ive got an iPhone 4s running Iso 5  and lion on my Mac
    just a note ive had this problem with my previous iPhone 3gs running the old iso and the new iso 5 when i updated it the other month
    I have also updated the Firmware on the airport express
    any suggestions or solutions would be greatuly recieved.
    Thanks in advance

    thanks for your replies.
    It's because I have one router for internet (that I share with my neighbors) and another with my Airport Express hooked to it.
    But I would like to stream my music when I go to my friends.
    I'll write to Apple

  • HT4437 Streaming music from iTune to Airport Express

    In order to stream music from iTunes (Windows Desktop) to AirPort Express, do both have to be connected via WiFi network? What if both are connected via same wired network.
    My iTunes cannot see AirPort Express connected to the same network.
    thanks,

    Airport utility installed on my PC (Win Vista) cannot detect AA. It communicates only when I enter the IP address of AA. After that I have configured the AA in Bridge mode. AA has wired connection with Linksys Router.PC is connected with the same router.
    iPod Touch can easily detect AA and can stream music to it too.

  • Streaming music from blackberry to airport express?

    Does anybody know any applications for streaming music from my blackberry to my airport express?  I use airfoil on my PC when not in itunes but can't seem to find anything for the berry...
    Thanks in advance.

    I'm not aware of any BlackBerry apps that can do this, but another option is the BlackBerry Music Gateway. It would not stream to an AirPort Express, but like the Express, you can use it to stream from your BlackBerry to an audio receiver of self-powered speakers.

  • Loud popping streaming music from MBP to airport express

    Streaming iTunes – airport express (air tunes) – av amp
    Macbook Pro (MBP leopard) (all software updates installed)
    AirPort Express Base Station 802. 11n (firmware 7.3.2)
    Hi all
    I am having a problem when playing music over air-tunes, (optical out) every so often, irrespective of file type and continuously throughout the music being played, I get a very loud popping/cracking noise outputted through the speakers,
    This noise is severe enough to be causing damage to my speakers, so is making air-tunes unusable.
    I also have a Macbook (leopard up to date) that dose not have this problem, which suggests that its not a problem with airport but with my MBP.
    Things I have already tried.
    Direct optical connection from MBP to av-amp (music plays fine)
    Reinstallation of OSX 10.5.5 (full install e.g. reformat)
    Reset of express base station
    Rollback firmware of base station to 7.3
    Set wireless security to none from wpa2
    Tried all possible radio modes
    Problem persists over both wireless and wired (gigabit) network cards on MBP
    All programs off during testing except iTunes
    Tried switching off processes in network utility (have not spent a lot of time on this as not sure/confident as to which are critical system processes).
    It seems to me as this is happening with both network cards that this is not a
    network hardware problem on the MBP but maybe a background process on MBP is intermittently some how causing a spike of interference.
    Also leopard is a resent upgrade, I can’t be sure but I don’t think this problem
    happened when I had osx 10.4 installed, certainly when I first setup air-tunes
    under 10.4 the problem was not there.
    Am about all out of ideas, so I would be very grateful for any input on this.
    Kind Regards
    Drew…

    Anybody out there any ideas???
    or perhaps someone hear can point me in the right direction to get some technical support.
    Regards,

  • How to sync music from iPhone onto new computer

    I had my iPhone synced to my old computer. I connected it to my new computer and it won't allow me to put any of my old music onto iTunes without deleting it all first. How can I keep my old music and put it onto my new iTunes?

    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself independently backed up against loss.  To use a device with a new computer you transfer the content from the old computer (or its backup) directly to the new computer, not the device to the new computer. Media syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software.  See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
