Hi... just bought a mac mini to use as a desktop!

Ive got a airport express in the lounge [Richards APE] for wireless audio... is it possible to setup the mac mini as [Music Room APE] for wireless audio, so that when we are using laptop I can choose between the two?

I hope so!

If I understabd correctly, you want to stream music from the laptop to the Mac mini and the APE.

Airfoil lets you do that.

Yes turtle that exactly it! So Airfoil should let me do it!

I want to avoid buying another APE if i can stream music from my laptop through my Mac Mini to the speakers connected to it!

Thanks a lot!
