Airport Express Choppy AirTunes

[BoulderBum]

I've had an Airport Express streaming music to my kitchen for a good year or so, and it's worked great until recently. Now it seems that 4-5 times per song, the music will cut out for a few seconds!

The only thing I can think of that's changed lately is I installed the latest version of iTunes and Apple TV software on products.

Is anyone else having such a problem lately, or does anyone have any advice on a fix?

i also have that problem in the kitchen, but only when i run the microwave.

sounds like it coule be RF interference to me,
have you recently added a cordless phone?
do you live in an apartment? Maybe one of your neighbors added something.

try changing your wireless channel.

No on the cordless phone, and I'm actually in a house. I'll try changing the wireless channel to see if that helps.

That actually appeared to help (so far), but I'm scratching me head a little about what could cause the interference. Oh well.
