Pretty cool utility for Mac OS X and Airport Express

Was stuck this evening with an Internet Broadcast of a Phoenix station carrying the Purdue game. Would like to stream that audio from my office to my Bose Wave radio sitting in the kitchen so I can work and listen to the game. Currently I can also stream iTunes content to it (no big deal for me since I manage all my MP3s through iTunes).

So, what's a Purdue geek to do? Download Airfoil from Rogue Amoeba. It allows you to stream any audio to Airport Express. Highly skeptical, I downloaded the demo, and voila! Just one click to select the app I want to stream (in this case Internet Explorer), and next thing you know the game is playing in the kitchen. Way cool. Chalk one up to innovation and ease-of-use.
