I'm currently streaming my iTunes through my Airport Express to my amp using the optical output. I've got a 2-year old MBP 17". I'm in a large apartment building, with about 350 units. Using RCN Cable for Internet service.

Many mornings and some evenings, the music is dropping off. Sometimes it will come on and off as if it' losing the signal. Sometimes I need to restart iTunes. clicking on the internet connection tab doesn't seem to do anything.

I'm guessing that the AE is getting over-taxed performing both the streaming and Internet. I've been mulling over purchasing a Time Capsule, and thought that it may solve this annoying problem.

Any thoughts?
