The above error -3256 occurs when IPv6 is set to off shortly after starting playback in iTunes.
If I set IPv6 to automatic it simply times out with no message.
While searching for a solution I stumbled upon dozens of users having the same problem. Some could resolve it by:
- Upgrading Firmware to 6.3 (Harrharr, that one's from '2006)
- Downgrading to iTunes 7 (yes, it started with iTunes 8!)
- Disabling Firewall
- Setting custom rules in Firewall (UDP Port 6002)
- Trashing iTunes Preferences
- Resetting and staying with factory defaults
- What's working
- Resetting and staying with factory defaults (meaning, the my iMac joins Airport Express default network, leaving aside my regular network)
- Setting an Airtunes password
- Renaming Airport Express
- What breaks it
- Guess what. Now that I'm systematically testing, it's working like a charm. Even the occasional -3256, which went away after switching bach to "Computer" and forth to the Airport Express
I'll report if it breaks again.
