Forget that Airport Express is a Mac product (please, can't be arsed with platform prefs), it's a cheap interface between wired ethernet, wifi and hifi, £79.
The usual complaint with audio streaming to it is that it only works with iTunes. I mentioned that I get around this with a bit of software called Airfoil which I've just discovered is available for windows too $25.
Airfoil can capture what ever audio you have running on your Mac/PC and broadcast it to a variety of end devices, one of which can be an Airport Express.
Job done for around £100 (plus providing a wireless access point if that's useful). It's not much more than a large three pin plug so if you want to take it with you anyplace you can stream your whole collection to anything with a phono input.
Downside? Apart from volume on your hifi, control is via your computer, track selection etc. Ok if you laptop is next to you, otherwise a bit clunky.
