Come on now. The only problem I experienced with music drop outs on my Express was playing from my old 233 MHz beige PowerMac G3. Because it couldn't maintain decoding AAC files while streaming and doing stuff in the Finder all at the same time. Not AEx's fault. Other Macs I've used with it, not a single dropout. Speed is excellent. Makes a great wireless base station replacement for the Airport Extreme even though Apple doesn't market as such. Just connect it to your cable or wired router, setup, and go.
