How many people would recommend the Airport device?
I was looking into purchasing an AirPort Express Base Station with 802.11n and AirTunes for playing music. I did read some reviews but if anyone can share some thought about this device? That would be awesome!
I was also checking out AirPort Extreme Base Station, but I think thats just more features included when really I just want to use for music.
