OK.
I’ve got all my music on an external drive that’s connected to an 867 mghz G4 tower. I use iTunes on my wireless(airport extreme) 867 G4 Powerbook. My powerbook then sends the signal over to my airport express via airtunes so I can play it through my stereo instead of these little speakers. In theory this is the ideal setup for me, because it means I can control my entire mp3 library wirelessly. However, I think I may be pushing my wireless system to it’s limit, because the music unexpectedly stops and starts (a breif interuption, 2 secs max). I haven't tried the sharing part yet because i'd like to be able to add new music/podcasts to the network library without having to sit at the tower station. Any thoughts out there?


I’ve tried the following:
1)using a different external hard drive
2)hardwireing the tower to the wireless router
3)playing music through the inernal speakers


nothing seems to work short of plugging a drive directly into my powerbook. Has anyone else experienced this problem?
