Hey Guys,

I was wondering if there is a device that works with a mac that I can stream music to and it plays though my JBL speakers. Kinda like what an Airport Express does, but I dont really need all the features of an Airport Express plus its a little pricey.

Thanks,

Neil

An Airport Express is really what you want. I don't know of anything else that matches its functionality, unless you have a spare iPod Touch, which you could use to stream the music.

Funny you say, but I do have a spare iPod Touch.

How would I do that then?

Cheers!

You'd use Airfoil Mac ($25), from Ambrosia Software on your Mac. You'd then also use their free app Airfoil Speakers Touch [App Store Link]. The combo will then work the same as an Airport Express would. You'll just need a wall charger for the Touch if you don't already have one.

I personally don't have much use for this setup, but I have tried it before and can confirm that it works perfectly.
