My dad watches Craigslist for old Airport Expresses because he wants to replace their Chromecast Audio with something that can talk to Apple Music, but Apple bafflingly doesn't have any current AirPlay offerings to connect external speakers.
- jen729w 6y agoI have an AirPort Extreme he can have? It’s just in a box in the garage, I’ll ship it to you for nothing. Bit bigger than the Express obviously. Hmm I may even have a really old one of those, too.
- bsimpson 6y agoThanks - that's really kind! He's interested in it to connect his speakers to AirPlay. Does your model do that?
- bzbarsky 6y agoHey, I have a fairly old Airport Express; the box says 2004. The physical "factory reset" button doesn't seem to work anymore, but it's in a ready-to-be-configured default state (I got it there by connecting it to a network via Ethernet). It would need the old version of Airport Utility, but I'm assuming your dad knows that already, if he's looking for the old ones. If he's interested, please let me know.
