That is actually a very interesting experiment. Looking forward to seeing your next clip of actually implementing it in a home. Perhaps I missed it, did the streaming numbers you presented at the end account for streaming the Dylan song or movies?

If not movies, I am curious how it would work with 5 different movies playing at the same time.

Good experiment though.

I thought you were going to stream 5 movies (to each Apple TV) and at the same time stream 5 songs (to all the Airport Expresses).

As long as you have the network bandwidth....iTunes can stream a s*** ton. Last year I had my library on the dorm network, and I activity monitor showed 1tb transferred out...in one week.
