mainly i'm wondering this:

can i transfer audio to an airport express.....while i am recieving wifi from a different signal? i have a windows xp laptop.

my neighbor and i share his wifi connection. but i want to be able to use some sort of thing to transfer audio to my setup on my desk. certainly doesn't need to be airport express, but i'll be using speakers mostly, and sometimes headphones.

No. You can however use WDS to connect AE to your existing wireless internet basestation. Ive heard you can use it on non apple products.

WDS?

i suppose if i could bounce the signal off the A-EX, that would work as well. if there's some way to make this work, i'd be happy as a clam

no itunes! foobar only. i will not cave!

aren't there some non A-ex options as well? .....................remember, i'm not using a mac

this is what i want:

lappy (transmitting digital bit-perfect audio, while recieving wifi from a different source; or bouncing that source off whatever is recieving the audio, or some **** like that ) w/foobar ks or asio > headroom microdac or scott nixon tubedac or somethin like that > modded t-amp (perhaps to upgrade) > triangle speakers or soemthin efficient

i won't be using headphones most likely

help! i'll cry myself to sleep if i can't manage it......

i just want to sit in my chair with my lappy and an 80gb drive (my music collection isn't too big), and play stuff while i type away...

Perhaps receiving your web surfing Wi-Fi connection via your laptop's ethernet port and then using whatever wireless capability your notebook has to broadcast music wirelessly?

I'm pretty sure this would work if you had a cable or dsl modem and simply plugged an ethernet cable into the ethernet port. A wireless router range extender being "controlled" by your neighbor's computer might also work.

Basically, I think your laptop would have to only see one active wireless connection (the other would be seen as a wired broadband connection).

Tell these guys to port their software to windows: http://www.rogueamoeba.com/airfoil/ Go to their forum and post. They have hinted it can be done and may have an itnerest in the future. Lets get them to speed up the process.
