Using Airport Express with Time Capsule

Simple question. We use Time Capsule primarily for WIFI. I have an express and want to use it only for playing my itunes music through our stereo. My Time Capsule works beautifully, but the express flashes amber when I connect it to a power source and our stereo. How do I get the two to work together simply. I don't care about extending our network or anything fancy. I just want to listen to good music.

Airport Express, Mac OS X (10.5.8)

You'll need to "hard reset" the AirPort Express by holding in the reset button until you see the amber light start to blink more quickly. Release the reset button when you see this occur.

Temporarily, position the AirPort Express near the Time Capsule and connect an ethernet cable from your Mac to the AirPort Express. Then open AirPort Utility and click Configure to follow the guided setup process. When asked how you want to configure the Express, you will choose the "Join a wireless network" option.

After you have completed the setup and updated the Express to save your new settings, you can disconnect the ethernet cable and move the AirPort Express to the desired location.
