I have ripped all my CDs to iTunes on my dedicated home server Mac mini, and listen to them losslessly through AirTunes and an Airport Express hooked up to my BeoCenter.  It's all lovely except for this one annoying issue: if it isn't actively streaming for a couple hours or so, and then try to play something, I often get the following error:

"An unknown error (-15006) occurred while connecting to the remote speaker."

The Mac mini is always on and running iTunes, and without a keyboard and mouse, so this is pretty aggravating, and Apple's online suggestions don't seem to help in this case.

Have any of you run into this?  Any suggestions?

I have - from memory I had to update the firmware in my Airport Express. Pretty easy to do. Just Google that error message and lots and lots of Mac forum posting will appear with the correct advice!

Exactly this happened to me yesterday evening as I wanted my dealer to listen to a peace of music on my iMac (external HD) with my iPod touch (remote app) via my Airport express, Arcam Solo and Beovox Penta , after he installed a new Beovision 8-40 at my home.

First I forgot to switch on my external hard disk with my iTunes "Mediathek" (library?)

After switching on my external hard disk I checked my network, deactivated "airport" and reactivated it several times. Meanwhile it showed a conflict about a network address, but at last all is going well.

They've finally fixed this! 

It hasn't happened since I downloaded iTunes 9.2.
