I'm interested in this topic, but know very little. Presently, I'm simply plugging in a high quality speaker system to my iMac and using iTunes to play music. Other than the issue of installing speakers in other rooms and controlling them, I don't understand the need for other approaches. Of course, I don't even know what AirPlay is, so what do I know?

We ripped our CDs to the desktop iMac (we only have about 120). We listen wirelessly via our Apple TV and can also control the selection with our first generation iPod Touch.

We have two very large vintage speakers (AR3) and a 15-year-old analog receiver/amplifier. We can switch the sound to the big speakers (rather than the TV speakers) but the process involves physically moving wires.

We are very happy with the Apple TV solution but we are planning on getting a modern AV receiver to solve the speaker selection problem and also to run a future sound bar or home theater type set of speakers for the TV.

I recommend, as Tolllle suggested, ripping your CDs. ITunes makes it pretty easy.

I would like to ask Tolllle what he/she means by an "extra Digital/Analog Box" and if he/she has any specific suggestions.

Thanks for the comments. I'll take a look at Airplay as I have a number of
older Macs that might be tasked as music servers.

A bit off topic, but not completely. I'm considering building an
Apple-based
system to serve music to my home stereo. There are lots of suggestions, but
few user experiences. Any recommendations? I'm open to buying the components
needed to make this happen, but have a limitation in that my Internet
service is ATT&T U-Verse.

Thanks for any comments or recommendations,

My 'user experience' is the music stored local on an Airport Disk and a
selection of it in my iPhone and iPad. I use an Airport Express and a
iPhone/ iPod Dock both attached to my home stereo (Braun Atelier A1).

I think it's a comfortable (and inexpensive) start to enjoy my music
library.
The two ways to get the music to the amplifier both have their pros:
1. Put an iPhone/ iPod into the dock and listen to the music continously and
charge your device.
2. Use AirPlay from any Mac Computer or iOS device to quickly skip to
another song or album. Without cables! From anywhere in your house.

If you are going for better "high fidelity" sound it makes sense to rip your
CDs in Apple Losless, throw away the Dock and use the optical output of the
Airport Express to serve your amplifier.

If you have an analog amplifier (like me) an extra Digital/ Analog Box will
make a difference compared to the bad one built into the Airport Express.

Streaming music from the internet gave me too many bad encoded/ compressed
music, so I wouldn't go this way.
