Hey....I have been looking into streaming music from my pc to my home theater & looked at Sonos but the only thing I didn't like about Sonos was it has a separate control just for the music. I want an actual remote control to do everything...not just music control only.

With the Philips RC9800i can I hook up something like the Apple AirPort Express & use this remote or do I need something else as a media adapter? I will want to use the remote off of the cradle...so I do need some media adapter, which I thought the AirPort is, right?

I know the interface won't be quite as pretty as the Sonos, like no coverart but I do like iTunes & my kids of course use iTunes...Oh, I should say I have not purchased songs from iTunes & will not use the AAC file format, only MP3 files.

So, if I cannot use the Airport Express...What other Media adapter can I use that will facilitate iTunes...or am I stuck with using the Philips Media Manager?

By the way, I am currently using the Denon Aktis remote, so this remote would be an upgrade for me even with all the quirks(The Denon has it's own quirks)...

Thanks in advance

Joe
