Re: AirTunes & AirPort Express Assistant

[Tim Collier]

I have a totally different experience with my Airport Express.  This is 
my setup:  we have 2 desktop Macs in our office in the front of the 
house.  In there is our cable modem connection which connects to an 
Airport Extreme base station.  At the other end of the house is the 
Airport Express.  ALL of the computers in the house have the ability to 
play music to the Express.  All music plays perfectly.  All of them are 
running iTunes 4.7 and as soon as I installed the Express, the option 
to play to it automatically appeared in iTunes.  This took very little 
configuration.  All I had to do is select it in the Airport Setup app 
and everything just works.  There's a lot to be said of using ALL Apple 
equipment.  On the 2 laptops that we use at 'the other end of the 
house', we have a strong signal and fast communication over the home 
network.
This is just my result.....your results may vary.

Subject: AirTunes & AirPort Express Assistant
Ok, I'm going to take a break from trying to fix the problem with
MacAlly's Firewire cases that don't work in 10.3.6.
New question:
I bought an AirPort Express so that I can listen to music from my G4
iMac running 10.3.6 and iTunes 4.7. The iMac has an AirPort card in
it and connects to am AirPort Extreme Base Station. I have AirPort
4.1 installed
The Setup Guide says to use the AirPort Express Assistant located in
my Utilities Folder. It also says that it is on the included CD. Here
are the problems/questions:
1. I don't have AirPort Express Assistant in my Utilities Folder
2, The CD says that it installs AirPort 4.0 and iTunes 4.6
3. Is the AirPort Express Assistant a separate download?
4. Can I use the regular AirPort Setup Assistant software in lieu of
the Express version?

I had the APE Setup Assistant on the CD. If you have iTunes 4.7 
already it won't install 4.6.
And streaming AirTunes freakin' rocks, to quote MacAddict!
However, I can't stream reliably from my wireless TiBook to DLink 
wireless router to APE in the living room. I get a lot of skips and 
pauses during playback. If I hook it up wired to the DLink everything 
works fine.


Exterminate all rational thought.
