It's the weirdest thing, and it just started not too long ago (month maybe?) on my iMac.
I am running the latest firmware, have been since it came out in December - nothing has changed with my wireless network, it's odd:
I could be playing a song thru AirTunes into my stereo, works great, then the next song comes on and it switches back to computer speakers (Even though "Living Room", my AirTunes name is shown) and then the following song will be played back on AirTunes.
While the song that "doesn't work" is playing I can select Computer Speakers or "Living Room" and it doesn't make a difference. I have narrowed it down to select songs. I can play them over and over again and they will not stream to my stereo, yet others will. I'm serious, it is certain songs, same stats as others, 128kbps Stereo MP3 files yet, for example, Dixie Chicks - Traveling Soldier will not stream, neither will certain select Weezer songs among others. It doesn't even say "Connecting to Living Room" until I find a song that DOES stream.
Something is actually keeping it from streaming. I've searched around and can't find any clues as to what is causing this.
Any ideas are appreciated, this is a little annoying...
OH, the only thing I can think of is that I upgraded to iTunes 4.9, before that it didn't have this problem.
From my PowerBook, I can access my iMac's shared library, and stream the same music file to my stereo and it works, yet from the iMac it doesn't. ODD!!! I may try a re-install of iTunes.
