I use a Mac and have Wi-fi at home based on Apple's AirPort Extreme. I want to set up a system that allows me to listen to my music in different rooms. How do I do this?

DQ: You already have a basic system in place. You could set up a more elaborate system yourself but the odd problem could arise, such as walls that prevent the signal getting through. You may have to boost the signal with a compact AirPort Express base station. For help setting up wireless systems on a Mac, visit www.mac-forums.com/forums.
If you prefer not to fool about with the technology, there are other possibilities. A popular solution is Sonos' (www.sonos .com) multiroom music system, which can project music from a PC or a CD player.
You must decide if you want to construct a wireless, multiroom music system yourself, get a ready-to-install system or have a professional set the whole thing up. Computer shops in Hong Kong don't normally do house calls but you can always ask.
When my Sony Vaio laptop went on the blink, I used the recovery disc that came with the machine. Now all my personal data is gone and I cannot connect to my home Wi-fi router, which keeps saying 'enter: 198.162.0.1'. What should I do?
