Okay Boys, Let's Keep This Simple

Hi Everyone,

I have my 24" imac intel upstairs in my office. I have a surround sound speaker system downstairs hooked up to the tv. Speakers are mounted on walls around the room. I want to be able to listen to my music downstairs. The receiver to the surround sound doesn't recognize CD's or DVD's anymore and what I want to hear is my playlist which is too big for a CD. Can I somehow play music through my computer to the speakers downstairs and how? I have a Logitech Z2300 THX on my computer right now. I really don't understand much techno mumbo jumbo so pretend you are explaining it to your mom.

http://www.apple.com/airportexpress/ Definitely the easiest way

You plug that into a power outlet down near your surround sound speaker system. Plug an audio cable from that Airport Express into your surround sound speaker system.

Wow! That was simple to understand! I just need airport express. Great! I will do just that then. Thank you so much. I have Airport Extreme. I take it that is not what I need then, right? I don't know the difference between them.
