Michael,
I don't have an answer for yoo, but I do have an
observation and a
hypothesis...
- First, iTunes cannot transmit to AirTunes anything
that it can play. For
example, it does not play the audio of QuickTime movie
trailers over the
AirPort Express (very disappointing, by the way).
- Second, I did you check to see if ANY iTunes radio
station plays over
AirTunes (I haven't)? If it doesn't, then I'd guess it
has something to do
with streaming vs. local/progressive download playback,
which is how
everything else plays in iTunes, even the 30-second
previews on iTMS. If
other stations do play over AirTunes, then I start
wondering about AAC
streams vs. MP3. Aren't virtually all Internet radio
stations MP3 streams?
Please post to the group what you find out.
More generally, a comment for Apple: AirTunes should be
enabled for ANY
audio you can output from your Mac, especially QuickTime
Player and DVD
Player. Moreover, when playing DVD's, AirTunes should
support the wireless
transmission of 5.1 Dolby Digital AC3 bitstreams over
AirPort Express'
digital output to a home theatre receiver. --nate
