Trying to get teh clutter off my desk. Currently, my terabyte external HD is connected via USB to my MBP. I have a netgear g router and an Airport Express, which I use to stream music to my stereo. If I replace the Netgear router with an Airport Extreme, can I connect my external HD directly to its USB port and then expect to stream bit for bit from that HD to my MBP and then to the Airport Express or will I lose something along the way?

Also, is the only difference between the Airport Extreme and the Time capsule the HD in the latter?

Thanks very much!

you'll end up losing the netgear router along the way.

and that's the only difference between the time capsule and the AEBS, other than physical size.
