Stream music/radio via airport express' but not using itunes

Hi,
I currently have 2x airport express in different rooms and I stream music etc from my itunes to them (via my airport extreme basestation). Is there any way I can stream net radio or music from other apps to it? E.g. I'd like to listen to the bbc radio player on my stereo, but it is only connected wirelessly to my airport express.
Being able to do this would make my mac experience near perfect!
Thanks!

    I think I might have been sold a jelly - I want to listen to my music wirelessly which is why I bought the Airport Express, but I also have a wireless internet connection - can I do both?

    Do you mean to say you already have a wireless network setup and thought by buying the Airport Express you just could use it for wireless music alone?
    The Airport Express is chiefly a wireless router first, with the wireless music and printing as extra's.
    It can be used for streaming music alone, but I think it needs to talk to network time servers and thus it gets screwed up over time not being on the internet. Also by your using your computers wifi for music streaming, no internet with your other router.
    So it's a all Airport Express or back to a stereo mini cable.

  • I use itunes to play music through my airport express but sometimes the songs cut out sporatically.  a song will be playing along then all of a sudden there is intermittant music and silence. What could be causing this?

    I finally resolved my problem after spending way too much time on it. I simply handed my 160GB iPod to my husband to put his fav Stones & Beatles songs on and I went back to my 80GB Microsoft Zune which has never disappointed me.
    After spending so much time trying to figure this out I did finally take it back to Apple Store who performed a diagnostic and found there was a problem with the device. They replaced it with a refurbished one which has similar issues. All I wanted to do was listen to my music. Was that too much to ask? So I am happy to be free of this problematic device. No more Apple for me!!

  • PBG4 tries to connect via airport express, but I want it to use ethernet!

    Hey y'all, and thanks in advance for your help!
    I use airport express to connect itunes to my stereo, and for nothing else. My computer, however, keeps trying to connect to the internet through the airport express, and I end up having to turn the airport off until I'm on a website, then turn airport back on.
    How do I tell my computer to NEVER attempt to connect to the internet via airport, and to ONLY use ethernet to connect???
    Thanks again!

  • I can stream from ios to new airport express but not from windows 7 or powermac G5

    I have new airport express and older apple tv on my network.  Both are connected and found by all devices - Windows 7 laptop, Powermac G5 and all ios devices.  I can stream music via airplay to both airport express and apple tv from ios devices (one at a time of course).  I can stream from itunes to Apple TV but cannot connect to the airport express!  It shows up and I get the dredded error: An error occured while trying to connect...
    I tried some of the many ipv6 suggestions that I've seen here but nothing is working. 
    Anyone have the setup?  Is this an airport express setup issue?  Please help!!!

    OK, I'm tipping my hat to Apple's (new) online experts. Great job.

  • Ipad connects with Airport Express, but not wireless router

    I have a airport express that exends my network and is connected by an ethernet cable to the wireless router.  they are on opposite sides of the house from each other.  every other device i own has full bars wifi anywhere in the house.  but the ipad only seems to find the signal from the AE. 
    If i go in the bedroom with the wireless router, the signal drops to 1 bar.  if i unplug the AE along with all the other electronics for the TV/Receiver at night, the ipad loses the signal and cannot get a signal from the router, standing right next to it.  i have tried reset, hard reset, renew lease forgetting network, and all fails.  any ideas?
    I have a Verizon Ultraline series 3 model A90-9100EM15-10 and the firmware is up to date.

    Disclaimer - For me the Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico my first language is Spanish. I do not speak English, however I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture very different from that found in most 1st world nations, such as that in the two dominant North American countries. Written language has no tone. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
    You likely have your reason for extending your network in this manner, but it seems that the AE is not really extending your router's network, but creating its own separate network that then extends your internet connection. This can be confusing to devices if you are expecting that they will switch between the two of them automatically.
    The iPad can only support one connect at a time. It sounds like you want it to be able to jump from the AE connection to a router connection on a whim when signal strength drops. I am not sure that the iPad's radio is that sophisticated. At best when the iPad looses a signal it could ask if you want to join any other network that it detects, especially if it has connected to that network in the past.
    AFA the router, some routers don't like iOS devices and just won't connect. When you go to Settings/Wi-Fi does the iPad see the router's network? If the iPad sees the router network, try configuring a connection by hand.
    Tap Other... and write the name of the router's network. Tap Security and select the type of security the router's network employs. Return to the previous pane and enter the password. Tap Join. If you can make the conection the iPad should remember this network in the future. Turn on Ask to Join Networks and hopefully when the iPad looses the AE signal in the future it will then ask you if you want to join the router's network.

  • Can connect to Airport Express but not to the internet

    Please help
    My Airport Express shows the solid green light. I am also able to connect to it and use AirTunes on my HiFi.
    However I cant connect to the internet. If I plug in my laptop to the router directly the internet works fine. So it is not a router problem.
    Any idea?

    After following your instruction, I am not able to connect to the airport express anymore. I can still see the network but it is somehow unable to read the IP address.
    When I try to get to the Airport utility it shows the base station but do not let me get into the configuration and shows an error message -4.
    The only option I have then is to reset the AE

  • Can connect to my airport express but not able to get email or internet?

    Hi just got the airport express and my iphone connect to it but cant get any email og go on the internet?

    Please try a full, extended modem reset and power cycle of the network as follows:
    Push the reset button on the modem (if present)
    Power off the modem
    Pull the battery (if easily accessible)
    Power off all other network devices, order is not important
    Wait at least 30 minutes
    Make sure the Ethernet cable from the modem is connected to the WAN port (circle of dots icon) on the AirPort Extreme and re-install the modem battery if it was removed
    Power up the modem first and let it run for 4-5 minutes by itself
    Power up the AirPort Extreme the same way
    Power up each device one at a time about a minute apart
    Check for operation
    If problems continue, I would have the device checked out at the Apple store.

  • Printing via Airport Express does not Work

    I have been using an Airport Express Basestation with my Mac Mini and Epson Stylus 880 for about a year without a problem. Now I have moved to an Intel iMac and cannot print via Airport anymore. The file get´s spooled but then I get an error message saying that the printer driver might be incompatible. If I use the same driver with the local USB port everythings works fine.
    Please help,

  • Is it possible to stream music to an Airport Express using a wired connection?

    I have an Airport Express (V7.6.3) hooked up to the music system and have tried everything I can find but get fairly frequent dropouts.  Don't know if it's something the neighbours are running, but have pretty much given up trying to fix it.  I have an ethernet that I can get to the Airport, but I can't find any current answers on hooking it up wired rather than wireless. (All previous hints at it use pretty old version of Airport Utility with options that aren't there in the latest version.)
    Simply, what I want to do is connect the Airport Express using ethernet rather than wireless.... possible?
    Thanks

    Simply, what I want to do is connect the Airport Express using ethernet rather than wireless.... possible?
    Yes of course, this is far preferable than connecting it to your router wirelessly, and doing so is almost guaranteed to fix your AirPlay dropouts.
    Start by "hard resetting" your Express. If you connect it to your Extreme and try to reconfigure it without performing a "hard reset" first, the Express may cling to its wireless connection and bridge it back to your wired network, which will appear to crash everything and result in confusion.

  • ITunes recognizes one Airport Express but not the other

    I have two Airport Express and have updated both with V6.3. Now when I try to connect iTunes to the stereos to which they are connected, one works fine, the other says "The remote speaker is not compatible with this version of iTunes. I'm running iTunes 6.05.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance.

    Answered myself. Both Airport Express were sharing the same IP address. Changed one over and now everything works fine.

  • Lost the ability to stream music to two Airport Express simultaneously

    Hello
    For an unknown reason I'm now getting an error message (unknown error -3256) when trying to stream music to two AExpress's and iTunes will only play through one AExpress. This is a very recent problem as I could stream to both AE in the past. Both iTunes and OS are the latest versions.
    Setup is an iMac, two AE and a remote hard drive with the iTunes Library attached to an Airport Extreme. Only recent change is the install of 2 x 1gB RAM sticks. I'm stumped. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
    TIA
    Warren

    Hello All
    Found the solution in another thread. It was the firewall settings.......had it set to "allow only essential services" set it to "allow all incoming connections" and all is well

  • Music showing up in folder, but not in iTunes

    I noticed some music missing from my playlist in iTunes, I checked the folder home(myname)>music>itunes and the folders are there, but they are missing when I open iTunes. I tried rebuilding the playlist, but that seems to be a mess and it only duplicates what's there and doesn't add new. How do I create a new playlist file and how do I get the music to show up.
    Note: The music I'm talking about has been in the system for many months, now it's not showing up in iTunes.
    I'm confused.
    Thanks in advance,
    Todd

    i can't tell you what happened but you might find this application useful:
    _*Music Folder Files Not Added v2.0*_
    This application will list the file paths of the files in your designated "iTunes Media" folder which are not in iTunes' library. Additionally, you can select a different parent folder and its contents will be compared to the iTunes library. Options to Add a selection of found files to iTunes or move them to the Trash.
