Greetings Everyone.

I have seen lots of questions about WDS and using the airport express on the time capsule's airport extreme wifi. Which is exciting, but it does not quite solve my dilemma.

I currently have all of my media on an external hard drive which is attached to my macbook. I stream my music via airtunes through my airport express, which is also, my router. However, I plan on getting the 1TB time capsule as my new printer hub, router, a backup for the time machine function, and media port/ storage. But I would like to keep the wires away, thus wireless is a must.

My question is this: Can I access the music files using iTunes that are stored on the time capsule and stream them over the airport express, all wirelessly? Essentially my Mac would not be connected to the time capsule by ethernet, just wifi, and through iTunes it has the location on the remote drive of the music library files and playlists, but they would remain on the time capsules hard drive, and then they would stream to the airport express?

Any help, guidance, or information will be appreciated.

Thanks
