This is the best solution I have seen! New XM pricing (starting in April) includes On Line streaming for $9.99 a month for a year commitment. Works on any computer, too.
I can now use my Powerbook for hardware in lieu of taking the Sky-Fi in and out of the car. The Airport express is plugged into the RCA where the XM radio was. With Airfoil, you "hijack" the audio stream off the XM site and send it to the big rig wirelessly. No more plugging and unplugging. No more moving the SkyFi around. And no price upcharge if you are willing to commit for a year.

And Airfoil works with NPR, Windows Media, etc. Check it out yourself. XM has a free 3 day online trial. Airfoil has a demo version.
If I could just figure out VLC, I could do it with DVD's.
