XM Satellite Radio and Online Radio subscribers will be happy to know that they can tune into their favorite XM Radio stations via Windows Media Player 10 Digital Media Mall or through Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005’s new XM Online Spotlight channel. The XM Radio Online service will cost subscribers $7.99 a month, while XM Satellite Radio subscribers will receive a discounted rate for XM Radio Online of just $3.99 a month.
One thing missing from the press release, that we’re guessing is possible and should have been mentioned, is that subscribers who own Media Center Extenders will able to stream XM Radio to other rooms. Reason being, Media Center Extenders let users tap into all the functionality of MCE 2005 including Online Spotlight channels.
