At our office, we run through a small network (using windows home network, not a server) And I plug my XM radio into my computer.  How can we have the audio output through all the computers?  I plug into the microphone input plug and get straight throughput.  However, we all want to be able to hear it.  Any help would be appreciated.

Just as a note: I didn't ignore your inquiry; I was still looking into it. Probably going to involve some sort of re-broadcasting via radio waves.

That sorta defeats the purpose....  I plug the XM into the computer to avoid having to use a stereo.  (boom box $100, or home installation kit $69 + having to plug into stereo) and just use my vehicle kit and plug the audio out to the mic plug in the computer.  If Win had a program to read that input (other than sound recorder which will not network) then I could copy that to our shared files and we could hear it then.

You could set it up as a shoutcast server.
Input the sound to computer one.  Computer one then sends the music out over your network.  All of the client computers can hear it using winamp or windows media player.

I use [url=http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/9series/encoder/default.aspx]Windows Media Encoder[/url] to play MP3s from my desktop on my PocketPC over Wi-Fi.  It works pretty well.  You create a media stream by selecting the source (file, audio input, or whatever is going through your speakers).  Then you use Windows Media Player on remote computers to connect to the stream and voila!

is shoutcast part of Windows?  Is it additional software?  If part of Win, where do I find it?  And thanks for all the help so far.
