Right, I meant could I use my present AEX airtunes w/ the Linksys, either through the ethernet port, or as a range extender? I didn't mean could I stream airtunes directly through the Linksys.

Yeah, but that involves me inspecting or listening to samples of 200+ songs to determine which it is. Typically I'll hear 20 songs between syncs and 20 is a much more manageable number.
