iTunes can't download and stream to my stereo simultaneously

[9548240]

Hi

I like to stream from my iMac wirelessly to my stereo. I have a 1st generation aluminum iMac running OSX10.6.3 and stream to an Airport Express basestation. I run the latest version of iTunes.

Whenever iTunes starts to automatically download podcasts that I subscribe to the streaming stops or plays with lots of sound drop-outs. It is incredibly annoying!

Sometimes I can't even surf the internet without getting sound drop-outs? What can I do to improve this?

I always keep my Macs clean so I don't have tons of third party plugins installed - for the very same reason

EDIT: I have 8 Mbit download and 2 Mbit upload.

Anyone?

Thanks in advance.

Hey there,
maybe your router only supports wireless g? the airport express ofc has wireless n. as soon as there's traffic other than the music my airport skips as well when on wireless g.
