Very interesting, does the virtual audio mean that it plays the exact thing played on the computer?  If so then why even list the codecs?  Technically it should act as a sound card. But I could be wrong.

Turns out it is a virtual soundcard, apparently problems with Vista though.  Doesn't help when you use linux, xbox media center is good enough for now.

Tried it.  It added a lot of my albums multiple times to the list (Over 250 gigs so I dunno if the size messed it up or what).  My 360 saw them fine but would get an error connecting when I went to play.  Didn't mess with it too much though.  Running Vista.

This app is great. I can play music from my satellite radio account on the pc and stream it to the 360 while I'm playing. Shade 45 plus Gears 2 equals tons of dead grubs.
