iTunes - Phantom Remote Speakers

Registered
I have my iTunes connected to my house audio system via an Airport network.
This network is comprised of two Airport Express stations. iTunes can see
my remote speakers and plays music just fine. However, iTunes shows two
remote speakers (in the pull-down menu) with the same name. One works. It is the link to my actual house speakers. The other does not work (even though it shows up in the iTunes remote speaker pull-down menu). It is like a link to a phantom set of remote speakers. I can not find a way to get rid of it.

Does anyone know how to delete this phantom listing for a set of remote speakers?

Hmm. If iTunes is a recent version, and the firmware is up to date in both of the Airport Express stations, then they may be inclined to take the same stream together (see here). Are they both running the same firmware? If the versions differ, this could be a source of the problem.

Hmm, I also see that people with 10.4.7 are running into problems with AirTunes.
 
I just figured it out. I had both AE's set up to play iTunes. As soon as I stopped one of them from receiving iTunes, that "phantom" set of remote speakers disappeared.
