Hi Mary. You probably won't ever need to use sound flower in conjunction with air foil. Sound flower allows airfoil to grab all of the currently playing audio, and send it to the airport express. This would include your radio stream, but it would also include VoiceOver. This makes the mac more difficult to use, since audio is on about a two second delay. You should set airfoil to pull audio from safari. I've personally never seen this not work. Yesterday for example, I was using airfoil to stream an archived show from bbc radio 1, and it worked fine. By the way, do you have an iPhone or iPod touch? If so, you could get the free airfoil speakers touch app. This would allow airfoil to send audio to the iPhone as if it's an airport express. Alternatively, if you have another computer on the same network as your mac, you could get airfoil speakers. This does the same thing, and I believe there are versions for windows, mac, and linux. This would allow you to try out airfoil prior to getting your express. HTH Darcy
