I want to be able to play music through out the house from only one itunes computer. I have heard of a way to do it with fast user switching but i need to do this with a PC. So basiclly i need to stream music to 2 or 3 airports using just one computer.

So what's the problem? iTunes can do what you want without additional hardware or software, and you don't need to use Fast User Switching (a Mac OS X feature). Just make sure that you have iTunes installed on all your Macs and PCs.

Oops, I didn't see the title of your thread. No wonder your question didn't make sense. I don't know if iTunes can stream to several AP Express points simultaneously.

The answer is: no, it can't.

There are real synchronization issues, plus the whole bandwidth thing. Maybe in a third or fourth generation 'Express.
