An odd fix for AirTunes intermittent dropouts
Authored by: radioraffi on Nov 13, '10 10:33:38PM

I sort of did this same thing and it's working without any drops (so far). Basically I created a new, dedicated wireless network which is not connected to the internet between my imac and the airport express. Luckily, I dont need my wifi on my imac since I'm connected to a airport extreme router via ethernet which is connected to my DSL modem via ethernet as well. So I can play itunes remotely off the imac without changing my wireless network every time I want to to listen to music, or being unable to connect to the internet.
I'm not sure what you would do if you have to share the internet on your airport express or if its your only wireless router, but this seems to be working without any drops.
I hope it gets addressed either with a airport firmware update or an updated version of itunes, although I just downloaded an update for itunes (v10.1) yesterday. Maybe it has to do with the shift from AirTunes to AirPlay with that itunes update?
