2 Birds - 1 Stone rating: 4
Packaged as multiple options for one solution, this is actually a package of several solutions. I use multiple Apple Airport Express boxes to extend my wireless network and to play iTunes around the house. With this package, several cables are included to make sure you get the connection you need. I can connect one box via optical cable to the main home stereo. I can use a second RCA-style cable to connect the box in the kitchen to the A/V receiver there. So look at the price as providing 2 functioning cables, not one.

Waste of money if you don't need ALL the cables. rating: 3
I realized quickly I had spent way too much money when I ended up putting all of the cables except for the digital one back in the box and putting in storage. Doh!

"Monster"s indeed rating: 3
If you are completely helpless with audio, this may be an option. But using "Monster Cable" to play MP3s (or most consumer audio, for that matter) is a bad choice. Very few people could -measure- the advantages of "Monster" cable, let alone hear it.
Standard audio cables these days are plenty good enough for nearly everyone -- unless you're a top-of-the-line studio -- at 1/4 of the price. Gold plated -- if you want something that makes some sense -- helps avoid noise from corrosion.

Sweet rating: 5
I have two Wireless airports and this works great for both.
You get the Digital mini to Tos link cable,
The same in an analog mini to a left right RCA jacks.
and an extention cord for an airport or any of the standard Apple power supplies.
I agree most of these Monster accesories are overpriced. However, if your were to buy the three branded cables mentioned above seperately, you would have to add an additional 30%. Also, it you go with a cheep Tos link digital cable, expect to replace it within two years, the digital Monster cable alone is worth the $23 you spend vs the Radio Shack version.
