Hi All

Just want to know from the lucky ones that already have played with their Airport Express if they can dedicate music to their AE and play something else on their computer.
I am thinking about this as my girlfiend just asked me to burn a CD of music I only have on my iBook ans as i am listening to some cool radio.
Would i be able to listen to my radio while playing another radio or Playlist on my stereo via the AE?

If not, well, some guys at Infinite Loop just got a good idea!

iTunes can only play one thing at a time. Period.

But all other programs' sound is played through the computer speakers (or whatever's connected to your headphone jack) so if you use a program other than iTunes to play whatever you don't want going through AirTunes, then you'll be fine.

You can also run iTunes in another user account with fast user switching. Then your girl-friend's account can burn the CD and you can listen to whatever you want in yours.
