Which is better ipod touch or airport express?

hi,
I'm running itunes from my mac through a standard home hifi unit but want to upgrade my speakers. I'm thinking of buying a set of zeppelin speakers (http://www.bowers-wilkins.co.uk/display.aspx?infid=2466) but as I dont have an ipod was wondering whether to stream music from my mac using airport express or buy an ipod touch.
Does anyone know if the sound quality is affected using the airport express?
cheers

Hi deggie,
Congratulations for your purchase of Zeppelin, which is a great speaker for iPod and I am going to buy it once it is available in Hong Kong. (I heard it once it a shop in Hong Kong).
B&W is a great speaker company - with no doubt.
Does Zeppelin has also an optical input as well?
My only comments (with my iPod HiFi with airport express) - occasionally the signal did not come too smoothly from my airport express to the iPod HiFi - a kind of influence from other electronic wave e.g. mircowave?

  • Can i use my ipod touch with airport express?

    I will be staying in a hotel that only offers hard wire internet connection.  Can I use my ipod touch with airport express to have have WiFi?  I won't have my computer with me.
    Thanks!

    Yes, you can. However, you will not be able to administer the AirPort from the iPod Touch. Thus you would need to pre-configure the AirPort Express to work at the particular hotel that you will be staying at. Note: Most hotels now offer Wi-Fi in the rooms and the Express may not be necessary.

  • Idea: Sync iPod touch via Airport Express?

    I like the idea of using my MacBook anywhere I like around my apartment, so I've got the wireless Mighty Mouse, my SoundSticks speakers on an Airport Express, and a G-mini drive on an Airport Extreme for backups.
    I can plug my iPod into a multitude of other devices, for the purpose charging it, but I'm still stuck having to connect it to my Mac for syncing, and therefore have to keep an iPod wire nearby.
    I figured that it might be a nice feature if one could plug an iPod into an Airport Express, since part of the appeal of that product is to make your music portable or wireless, and thus "share" it to Macs on your network, where it could appear into iTunes and could be synced that way. Or, worst case, some form of wifi sync method perhaps.
    Has anyone heard of any software or solution that might make this feasible?
    (I also welcome any input on anything that helps one work wirelessly.)

    It's a trade off between convenience versus speed. The USB transfer is considerably faster than a WiFi transfer would be. Also, the phone charges when connected for syncing.
    Here is a good discussion of the alternatives you might find interesting: http://www.rfdesignline.com/219100232;jsessionid=OA1TOSVOPHYGJQE1GHPSKHWATMY32JV N?printableArticle=true

  • IPod Touch and Airport Express

    I have a home network with Airport Express access point connected to my Bose entertainment system which allows me to play my iTunes music on the Bose speakers. With iPod Touch and it's WiFi capabilities, can I play my music on the Bose speakers as well?

    There is no evidence to suggest AirTunes is available on the iTouch / iPhone
    Sorry!

  • Which is better, Netgear N900 or Airport Extreme?

    Which is better, Netgear N900 or Airport Extreme?

    Gpcn,
    I'm going to highly recommend the new Airport Extreme. I've been having all sorts of wifi and networking issues because of the saturated 2.4 GHz spectrum in my surrounding neighborhood.
    I finally bit the bullet on friday night and purchased the Airport Extreme. I could not be happier!
    I used to top out at around 8 Mbit/s download and 1 Mbit/s upload with my older Linksys setup. Now i'm getting 40+ Mbit/s and 2 Mbit/s respectively.
    Not only that, but i'm no longer dropping my wifi with my devices (latops, iPads, iPhone, etc). It's very consistent and the speeds are amazing!
    Sure it may be pricier than others, but it's worth every penny. The setup is very easy and you get Three Gigabit Ethernet LAN ports for connecting computers or network devices as well as built-in NAT support for security. You are better off getting the Airport Extreme.

  • I use my ps3 online gaming, is the airport extreme or the airport express be compatible with ps3? Is it going to be a better connection compair to other router? Which one is a better choice for me, airport express or airport extreme??

    I bought linksys EA3500 router. Its still in the box and before I open it I want to learn more about the apple airport router, is the apple going to work with my online games with ps3? I have iPad, 2 iPhones, apple tv and Mac mini.  If the airport express or airport extreme is a lot better and will work for ps3 which one should I get?

    Airport will work with PS3.  From what you've stated, the Extreme is more than you need.  Buy the Express.

  • Which is better iPod nano 7th gen or iPod touch 4th gen

    I currently have an iPod touch 2nd gen 8 GB.  I can no longer update it nor download from iTunes.  I also do not have enough memory for all my videos and music.  So I am considering buying a new one.  I basically only use my iPod for music and videos and carry it in my backpack when riding the bus.  I am trying to decide between the newest iPod nano and the 4 th gen touch.  I am a little leery of the nano's small screen, but I've heard the 4th gen touches have extremely fragile screens.  I don't care about retina screens or ability to watch HD videos, as I am visually impaired and can't tell the difference.  What is most important to me is which one is more durable.  Which one is less likely to be damaged considering I use it traveling on public transportation?

    Normally a nano, but I perfer an iTouch and just like Anlan said for the nano,
    it is much more portable because it is so small, and can easily fit in your pocket.
    The only reason for the iTouch 4th gen is that one day if you lose it, unlike a nano, you can track a iTouch (chances of finding is 20% - 60%) and you can get the best apps like Facebook or Temple Run 2.
    But if you want, you can go with the nano. Its all up to you.

  • Which is better as router: snow or express (with show attached by wire)?

    OK It seams like lots of people have similar problems but no one has described this exactly:
    I have a powerbook with an old style airport card (can't remember if that means g or b) and my wireless network running thru my old 'dual Ethernet/snow' airport base station. My wife has her newer ibook with airport extreme card. We have two airport expresses which were meant to extend the range of the network - but don’t seem to do anything other that allow us to use 'airtunes'.
    I often have full bars/signal strength but the Internet connection suddenly drops off and just as suddenly comes back on again. And again. And again. (The 'show time connected' time disappears and then re-appears - but the time connected does not start again at zero)
    This does not happen with my wife’s ibook.
    I have done a hard reset on all airports and reconfigured the netwpork and still this happens.
    Would I get a better overall network (strength and stabitity) if I used the express as the router and attached the snow base station by wire?
    Does anyone know if there are specific compatibility or set-up issues with our specific set of equipment?
    Do I need a new airport card perhaps?
    Please help - its driving me carzy

    Hi Hangingbyathread,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    I am going to try to help you with your Airport Problems. Alright, I am guessing you have a snow base station that it is 802.11b. You can not use the Airport Express to extend the network because the original airport doesn't have WDS capabilities. In order to use AirTunes you need to have iTunes 4.6 or higher, and the CD from the Airport EX. Here is some more information Airtunes and Airport Support. You might want to select a preferred network. I have many different WiFi networks in my dorm, and I found that I was constantly losing connection because my computer was picking up the strongest network. I am pretty sure you can't upgrade your Airport card because they are totally different. The original card only can pick up 802.11b at 11Mb where as the Extreme card can pick up to 54Mb at 802.11g.
    I hope that helps,
    Jon 

  • Can't connect iPod Touch to Airport Extreme using "Add Wireless Clients"

    I am unable to connect my iPod Touch to the local wireless network (Airport Utility v5.4.2) using "Add Wireless Clients..." in the Base Station menu.
    My Powerbook G4 connects OK (with the PIN - as requested)
    I can find no information in Apple's manuals or Help.

    You seem to be going about this backwards. Setup your Airport base station to:
    broadcast in all modes (b/g/n)
    No MAC address filtering
    Encryption set to WPA
    SSID on (you are broadcasting your network's name)
    DHCP on (you are automatically assigning IP addresses)
    On your touch, go to Settings > WiFi >Other Networks, enter your network name, tell the touch which security you are using (WPA) and enter your password. You should connect to your network.

  • Which apps for iPod touch 4g are compatible with the Apple Digital AV Adapter?

    I've got an iPod touch 4g 32 GB, iOS 5.0.1, and I want to buy an Apple Digital AV adapter, especially for my apps. But I have read that not all apps are compatible with this screen synchronisation, so I'm not sure that it is worth it.
    Here are all my apps, and I'm asking you to give me feedback if they are compatible or not.
    1. Real Racing 2
    2. Need for Speed Hot Pursuit
    3. AVATAR
    4. Spore Origins
    5. Spore Creatures
    6. Angry Birds
    7. Fruit Ninja
    8. Modern Combat 3
    9. Modern Combat 2
    10. N.O.V.A. 2
    11. Dead Space
    12. BFBC2
    13. Plants vs. Zombies
    14. Brothers in Arms 2
    15. Prince of Persia: WW
    16. Infinity Blade
    17. Infinity Blade 2
    18. Gangstar: MV
    19. Galaxy on Fire 2
    20. Six-Guns
    21. Osmos
    So if you really know which are compatible, I'd be grateful for a feedback.
    Thank you all!

    Thank you for answering, but sadly, I wasn't able to find these informations in the app descriptions. Just Real Racing 2 and MC3 had informations about supporting TV out.
    Do you know where to find them?

  • Which is better Ipods Or Z

    Which is better the "Ipods" or ZENS personally i think the zens there way better that the ipods by the long shot.

    Ipod Photo?vs. Zen Vision:M, if you sompare price for price then ipod photo 60Gb can be purchased for practically same price as the 30Gb zen vision, feature wise you get more for your money with zen. . Better screen: more colours, brighter (I beli've)2. Better sound quality.3. Better/wider video format codec support (eg. Divx, Xvid)4. Radio: you can record your radio with zen.5. Voice recorder.6. Other stuff that I can't think off at this time. ipod has the looks plus they have started when nobody else was making an mp3 player, so they have the advance on the market today.
