Andrew Lovatt: I think the Airfoil page does a pretty good job explaining to what you can send audio:

“Send any audio to AirPort Express units, Apple TVs, iPhones and iPods Touch, and even other Macs and PCs, all in sync”

I’m not sure how we might make that more clear?

Tony C: The AirTunes protocol, used by both Airfoil and iTunes, delays audio. There’s no getting around this – Airfoil isn’t recommended for use in situations where you need instant audio.

Pierre: You can purchase a license key for Airfoil for Windows right through our store, http://www.rogueamoeba.com/store/

Stephanovitj: Nothing should have changed there, from our end – that’s always appeared to be a Cambridge-issue. But if it’s currently working better for you, great.

MH12345: Controlling Pandora isn’t really something for the Airfoil side of things. Perhaps for Airfoil Speakers – we’ll see. You might look for iPhone-based remote controls in general, or VNC clients.

Well, I’ve had a great week. I just discovered Pandora. Then I discovered that my Apple TV works like an Airport Express (i.e., accepts streaming music, but just, I thought, from iTunes). Then I discovered Airfoil which lets you stream any audio source from your computer accross Apple TV.

I’m a very happy camper. Now I just need an app for my iPod Touch that makes it a real remote for Pandora — unless I’m missing something, there’s still a gap there. You can play Pandora on your computer, you can stream it to your Apple TV via Airfoil and play it on your stereo, but you’ve got to go back to your computer to change the Pandora channel.

I probably should be whining on the Pandora website, but I thought I’d try here as well.

Great product that got even better !
It seems the dropouts that plagued the previous versions when streaming from Apple Airport Express to Cambridge DacMagic now are gone….

I really love this app for my audiosystem back home (mac), works just perfect. But how do I get a valid serial for my netbook (pc) if I wanna send my tunes from another computer in the same household? Ive already paid for the mac-version…

Has any experienced about a 4 second delay in audio when streaming to a audio system? If so, is there a fix for this. It is pretty upsetting.

I have used AudioHiJack and Fission for some time – both truly excellent. Congrats you Rogues – you rock.

Now stoopid question of the day: on “what” devices can I listen to AirFoil “all around my house”? Both this site and Apple don’t seem to properly address, as in “what do I plug in to what?” Of course if I had laptops, iPhones or iTouch round the house that makes instant sense – but you are talking about other devices… Can you clarify?

Excellent Job. Thanks for all the hard work. You now truly are “100% Snow Leopard compatible.” And once again I’m more than happy with my purchase of Airfoil.

I know, sorry to cross-post, just got excited, I love the product, but don’t have a Mac yet.

Adam: Airfoil for Windows doesn’t track Airfoil for Mac’s release schedule at all. We just shipped an update with Windows 7 support, among other fixes, and have plans for more updates, but nothing in this post or in Airfoil for Mac 3.4 relates to Airfoil for Windows.

New Windows version coming too?
