MacForce Crew Review: AirFoil
I love my Apple Airport Express router. It allows me to share internet wirelessly, functions as a wireless printer server and even streams my iTunes music wirelessly from my Mac to speakers connected to the Express.
But not too long ago, I looked at my trusty Airport Express and thought: “It would be really nice if there was a way to hear more audio than just iTunes on my remote speakers.”
Low and behold, it appears I wasn’t the only one out there with this dilemma. I discovered a very attractive solution in an excellent piece of software called AirFoil.
With Airfoil, I’m able to direct various streams of audio—such as QuickTime movies, DVD’s, and even game sounds—all to my remote speakers!
I also discovered that Airfoil can send audio to multiple Airport Expresses, all in sync, at the same time. I plan to take advantage of this feature when I obtain a second Airport Express for my home office in the future.
AirFoil is distributed by Rogue Amoeba, and a free trial can be found here. The full license costs $25, and it’s available for Mac and Windows.
AirFoil has really changed the way I can experience audio from my Mac, and has seriously increased the functionality of my Airport Express.
