[X4U] Anyone with experience of an Airport Express?

[eleventhvolume]

I finally got round to purchasing and setting up an Airport Express recently
so I could improve upon the tinny sound of my MacBook Pro speakers. I've had
a mixed experience so far. In fact this very moment, I'm feeling pretty
frustrated. 

My setup is very simple: I'm sitting on a sofa, on the floor beneath the
sofa is my NetGear wireless modem through which I get smooth and pretty fast
broadband access. Signal strength is all four bars. Five feet away from me
across the room I can see the constant green light of the Airport Express
from which snakes a new lead into my amplifier. I'm playing an mp3 via
iTunes and the sound keeps dropping every 20 to 40 secs. I've quit and
restarted iTunes a number of times. I last rebooted my machine 24 hours ago
and I'm running the latest version of the OS.

I wondered whether anyone had any advice? Thanks in advance.

All the best, Colin.
