Streaming music with Windows 7

I have windows 7 and I have just received an airport express for Christmas. All I want to do with it is stream music from my computer to my stereo. How do I do this? The instructions provided with the unit were inadequate.

Streaming using AirPlay requires, as a minimum, the following three things:
An iTunes server. This typically is the iTunes application. There are versions of iTunes for Windows-based PCs.
An AirPlay "speaker." This could be an AirPort Express, Apple TV, or an AirPlay-ready device.
A wired or wireless network.
In your case you would need to install iTunes on your PC, if you don't already have it. You would also need to use the appropriate audio cable between the audio port on the Express and your stereo.

How can I consolidate my itunes music with Windows Media Player?

How can I consolidate my itunes music with Windows Media Player?

Ah, did you move your media files by hand? Often doing so will have broken the links from iTunes to them.
The "missing file" error happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, one of its parent folders, or the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout, or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to Get Info, then click No when asked to try to locate the track. (Due to a bug in iTunes 12 you currently have to say No twice!) Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, a folder renamed, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions. If the difference between the two paths is an additional Music folder in one path then this is a layout issue. I can explain further if that is the case.
In some cases iTunes may be able to repair itself if you go through the same steps with Get Info but this time click Locate and browse to the lost track. It may then offer to attempt to automatically fix other broken links.
If another application like Windows Media Player has moved/renamed the files then the chances are that subtle differences in naming strategies will make it hard to restore the media to the precise path that iTunes is expecting. In such cases, as long as the missing files can be found somewhere, you should be able to use my FindTracks script to reconnect them to iTunes. See this post for an explanation of how it works.

Problem streaming music with New Apple TV- Anyone else?

I am new to Apple TV. I have been using a Sony BDP580 (DLNA) to stream my FLAC digital music via a wired LAN. It works flawlessly. I just got the new Apple TV for streaming. I set it up and home shared with my Itunes library containing AIFF digital music via same wired LAN. It sees everything but each time I start a song, it plays for about 35 seconds and then starts studdering and hestitates, finally stopping altogether and displays an error message saying, "An error occurred loading this content. Try again later." This happens everytime, with any song I select.
I assumed this was a buffering problem, so I tried same songs again but this time paused them immediately after starting the song. If I paused for 15-20 seconds, I got about 2.5-3 minutes of music before it did it's studdering thing and stopped altogether. If I paused for 90 seconds or so, I could get thru an entire 10 minute song. Seems to confirm a buffering problem.
I have not tried streaming MP3's yet but that is not my intention.
I realize that the software is new but this is basically unuseable as it currently functions. I am considering trying to return the the Apple TV. Are there similiar kinds of problems when new Apple TV software is released? If so, is Apple quick with fixes and updates?
By the way, I also got a new IPAD and love it.

I have an older PC with Windows XP Professional on it. I updated to the latest iTunes and I am able to access the photos, etc. on it. However, my Windows 7 PC still does work (since last Apple TV update). Apple TV does not recognize that Home Sharing is turned here. The latter PC has all my current photos on it which I would like share with others on my Apple TV. A fix would be appreciated.

Help streaming music with an applet

I have been trying to play music in an applet, but when I play it the music is very choppy and full of static. I tried using Javax.Sound and then no music plays and the program freezes up. Is only AudioClip available to use with applets? If it is can you stream music the same way you can stream using Javax.Sound? If you have any ideas please let me know.
Mike

It is very possible that you may have some form of Wi-Fi interference that has been introduced recently in the immediate area that is preventing your 802.11n AirPort Express Base Station (AXn) from getting a good clean signal.
I suggest you perform a simple site survey, using utilities like MacStumbler or iStumbler to determine potential areas of interference, and then, try to either eliminate or significantly reduce them where possible.
You may also consider switching to the 5 GHz radio mode, if not already, to see if this helps.

BB 8220 Pearl Flip drops WiFi calls when synch music with Windows Media Player

I noticed the 8220 crashes or drops calls if I synchronize a playlist of songs with Windows Media Player. Strangely, if I simply shuffle the songs with no playlist, then I encounter less problems. Is this because I don't have enough room on the media card after synchronization? (I set a playlist and sychronize it as there are certain songs I do not wish to place on my phone.)
I'm using: Windows XP, Windows Media Player version 11, Blackberry Desktop Manager version 5.0.1.

I'll try to answer to some of your questions.
The Media Card is according to the OS verison on the BlackBerry. The model doesn't really matter.
Look at Options > About, third line down beginning with a "v.4.xxx".
Maximum capacities:
BlackBerry Device Software Media Card Size Limit
BlackBerry Device Software 4.2.0 -- Up to 2 GB
BlackBerry Device Software 4.2.1 -- Up to 4 GB
BlackBerry Device Software 4.2.2 -- Up to 4 GB
BlackBerry Device Software 4.3.0 -- Up to 8 GB
BlackBerry Device Software 4.5.0 -- Up to 8 GB
BlackBerry Device Software 4.5.0.81 and above -- Up to 16 GB
BlackBerry Device Software 4.6.0 -- Up to 32 GB

HP Stream 7 with Windows 8.1 - something jams wifi

Ok, I saw the other post about sleep mode and Windows 8.1 knocking all devices offline, and I'm having similar problem, but not sure it's related to sleep mode.
I had setup my Stream 7, and hadn't updated the BIOS, so I got it working, playing with it a day or so, then updated the BIOS to F.0C(?) (for whatever reason, I can't now get back to the list of drivers, etc. on HP's page. Loads and gives me a blank page - what's up with that?).
Anyway, IMMEDIATELY after the BIOS update and a reboot - would NOT connect to wifi. Rebooted a couple more times, and then found that other devices - including wired devices - could no longer connect to the internet. Power on reset of the router fixed the problem. I have an ASUS RT-N66U with Merlin's firmware (straight copy of source from ASUS, and he adds other Linux features like making the router a VPN endpoint, etc.) Fairly late version too (about 3 weeks old). Very similar to DD-WRT.
After a router reboot, the Stream 7 could connect, as well as other devices, have not had an issue since.
It's all well and good to say that it shouldn't happen to the router - and I agree - but to have a device do this is tantamount to sin. What happens if I go to a friend's house, or a business and jam up their router? This needs to be dealt with and fixed. Not sure it's a Windows problem - probably much more a driver problem.

Oh - might add, I'm taking it down to 802.11 b/g, instead of b/g/n, based on the other post.
I'm going to say there's something wrong with the "n" side, especially since it seems (after some reading), that it's really only "n" on the 2.4Ghz side. Most devices these days are "expected" to be on the 5Ghz to support the faster speeds. So I'm going to say that I suspect there's something at odds there in that type of config attempting to use "n" with this device.

Streaming music with Itunes?

How to create a web-show with Itunes?
1. The music I want to broadcast is 100% free (music made at home by me and by a community of artist from Europe and America)
2. How to configure ITunes to broadcast thru the web?
3. Do I need a 'server' like shoutcast or something like?
4. How to allow users to connect to my show?
Any help is higly appreciated!
Thanx.

Shoutcast or Live365.com are great resources for homemade streaming. iTunes will not "broadcast" to the web, you need to have some kind of server driving the process.

Multicast stream problem with windows media service

Hi,
I'm on a simple LAN composed by cisco 3560G and 3750G switches. On one of my switches, i've connected a windows media server that stream tv in unicast and multicast mode.
When i run the http://myserver/mystream.nsc generated by the server on the current server, it's working, i can see my stream. The problem is in the stations, i'm unable to see it.
I've activated IGMP Snooping on each switchs.
Here is the log of debug ip igmp snooping on the switch where the server is connected :

As WMP is not a DVD player, my suggestion would be to tell your clients to never use WMP.All our DVD discs go out with a warning not to allow WMP to be used.
In most computer setups, WMP does not play back video correctly as it does not have an MPEG codec installed, or has navigational problems.
All computers that have a DVD drive fitted, will have a dedicated DVD software player installed, such as Win DVD or Power DVD, so why not use that?

HP Stream 7 with Windows 8.1 - "Start Menu (Metro)" mode - closing apps problems

Ok, this is probably more of a Windows 8.1 issue, but I've noticed two things about closing apps (swipe down from top of screen):
1. If the app is "wider" than the display, and you scroll to the right, you CANNOT close the app unless you scroll all the way back left.
2. Any app that has any controls anywhere near any area of the top of the screen is extremely difficult to get it to start closing. I have tried as many as 10-15 times for some apps to close them. And anytime you get near those "controls" at the top - you can see you are affecting them as you slide your finger down - NOT the app.
3. When I have a BT mouse connected, I've noticed that putting the mouse towards the top of the screen will "pop" up something akin to the old Windows title bar, with a close button in the upper right (and a brief menu in the upper left). This works great - but doesn't seem to work with a finger or stylus - only the mouse. Is there a setting to change that to make it easier to close apps?
Suggestions?

Oh - might add, I'm taking it down to 802.11 b/g, instead of b/g/n, based on the other post.
I'm going to say there's something wrong with the "n" side, especially since it seems (after some reading), that it's really only "n" on the 2.4Ghz side. Most devices these days are "expected" to be on the 5Ghz to support the faster speeds. So I'm going to say that I suspect there's something at odds there in that type of config attempting to use "n" with this device.

Suddenly I do not could reach my Time Capsule...??? I can surf on net, but I could not stream music with Airplay and my Time Machine could not either take back up!? What is wrong?

Why could I suddenly do not play music to my music components with Airplay, as I could do yesterday? And my Time Machine could not take back up because my MacBook Pro could not find my Time Capsule? My internet connect is OK...! What´s wrong today?

Power down everything in the network.. start up in the correct order..
Modem.
TC
Any other network devices.
Computers and clients.
Everything needs a couple of minutes to get running before you start up the next part.
If it doesn't fix it.. we need a whole lot more info.
What Modem? Is it a router?
How is the TC setup? How is it connected to the modem?
What are you using for airplay?
We need full details on every part of the network.. otherwise we have no way to help.

Choose streaming music with streaming photos?

Hi -
I am using the latest version of iTunes but have not updated my AppleTV.
Anyway - I think there used to be a way to choose a folder of images to stream (as set up in iPhoto) and also pick the music to play while we were watching it.
I can't seem to find a way to do this now - am I imagining things?
Did a bunch of searches here but couldn't find a definitive answer.
thanks,
Andrew

If you are streaming your photographs, you are using a secondary library; as such select photos/shared library from the tv, if you have more than one secondary library select one and let it load, once loaded select settings/default music to choose the music to accompany your slideshows.
(Please excuse my unsupported nomenclature)

Unless you get better suggestions here, and having ruled out other possibilities and concluded that software is the cause of your problem, my only remaining suggestion is that you try reinstalling and re-updating the software that you believe is damaged or causing the problem.

Using airport express to extend network/stream music

Hi,
I just bought an airport express to extend my network throughout my house and stream music to my stereo system in my living room. My time capsule, which is connected to the DSL modem and is the base station, is in one far end of the house, while the airport express is at the other end. It has greatly improved the range of my network and when using my macbook in the front room, it gets full bars, however, the when using airtunes to stream music with iTunes 9 and OS 10.6, the music will cut in and out randomly and I occasionally get unknown error -15000 when trying to connect.
I played around with the airport express channels (any channel other than 10 will receive an unknown error -15000 automatically,) adjusted the firewall, and adjusted Netbarrier X, my third party security software. I found information in this article:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TA21538?viewlocale=en_US
The only thing that works is moving the airport express close to my computer to remove the physical barriers. It plays perfectly then. Is it possible to buy a second airport express and plug it in halfway between my stereo and time capsule to boost the signal to the airport express plugged into my stereo? Will this solve the problem of the music stream cutting in and out every 10-20 seconds?

I checked and my signal is -87 and noise is -95.
At the risk of being the bearer of bad news, that's a rather poor signal value. Here is a description of what different ranges of signal-to-noise mean:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10329543&start=1
In the other post, you mentioned interference from other electronics. Could physical barriers be causing interference also?
Barriers won't cause interference, but they can reduce signal transmission. How far apart are the two units, how many walls are in between, and of what material are those walls made?
If this is the case, can I add a second airport express between my base station and stereo-attached airport express to boost the signal?
In theory something like that might work, but I'm not sure that an AirPort Express can act as a "relay" station between a "main" station and a "remote" station. It might require an AirPort Extreme. Perhaps someone else can comment on that possibility.
Can you relocate your Time Capsule to an different phone outlet? Can you use longer cables between the wall and the modem and/or between the modem and the Time Capsule to move the Time Capsule to the other side of the room to be nearer to your AirPort Express? Can you use a longer audio cable between your AirPort Express and your sound system?
You may be able to use a pair of Power-Line units
(http://computer.howstuffworks.com/power-network.htm) to connect your AirPort Express to your Time Capsule via Ethernet.
