Streaming Napster made easy

I have encoded my CD collection more than a decade ago and it has made listening to my music very easy, I can listen to songs while on the computer or on the go with the iPod. I even bought Apple's Airport Express so I can stream songs directly to my home theater setup in the living room. I am very happy with this setup and could not ask for more.

Or could I?

Last week, Best Buy sent mail regarding free Napster music streaming for its Premier Silver members, plus 15 free song downloads every 3 months. Of couse I was excited. Now I am not confined to listening to music I own but now I have the world's largest music library at my disposal.

Now if only I can stream that music from the computer to the living room.

Enter Airfoil.



Airfoil uses the Airport Express that I already have and uses it to stream audio from any source from my Mac or PC straight to my A/V receiver. For $25 - the price of a couple of CDs, I can now listen to all the songs available on Napster.
