AirPlay lets you stream audio (and video) from iTunes on Mac or your iOS Devices (iPhone, iPad, iPod) to any AirPort-enabled devices at home. This article focuses on using existing speakers or systems you already have (and perhaps paid a lot of money for them) and “enable” them in an easy and cheap way for AirPlay.

Is there a difference between AirTunes and AirPlay?
AirTunes was announced in 2004, focused on playing audio wirelessly from iTunes to an AirPort Express. So you could listen to music all over your house from your mobile device.
In 2010, AirTunes became AirPlay to represent the extend scope of being able to play all kinds of content (including videos, photos, etc.).
