Topic: Cog and Airport Express to play through stereo system

Greetings all,
My apologies if this was covered (I did a search for Airport express and did not see it addressed) but would like to know if Cog is able to connect to the Airport Express and play music through that device to my home audio system.

I am frustrated in many ways by iTunes (ALAC not FLAC is certainly one) but can't live without being able to stream audio to my home system via a wired or wireless network.

Thanks for the help.

Eric

Some of the best money you can spend. Airfoil is great.

seconded.  Airfoil works wonderfully for this...  and as far as I understand it, the whole streaming thing is done with ALE (Apple Lossless Encoding), even if playing MP3s over it, so the sound quality should be as lossless as your originals playing thru Cog.
