Airfoil 2 Pumps The Volume Up And Rocks the House Down!

Macworld Expo, San Francisco, CA - From booth #431 at Macworld San Francisco, Rogue Amoeba Software is pleased to release Airfoil 2.0 to the world! When it was released back in March, Airfoil was designed as a companion to the AirPort Express, enabling any audio (not just iTunes) to be sent to the device. With version 2, however, Airfoil is taking things to a whole new level.

Starting things off with a bang, Airfoil 2 makes it possible to send audio to multiple AirPort Express units simultaneously and in sync! Using Airfoil and multiple AirPort Express units, it's possible to "wire" a house for audio, wirelessly, for a fraction of the cost of more expensive audio players. To add audio to a room, just plug in an AirPort Express (and speakers, of course), and Airfoil can send the audio there. Heck, not even iTunes can do that, but Airfoil will work with iTunes!

In addition to this killer new feature, Airfoil 2 has added many additional new features and updates. It can now send audio to password-protected speakers, as well as adding audio effects like a 10-band equalizer to any transmitted audio. Further, Airfoil can now send audio directly from Dashboard widgets, USB radios like the RadioShark, general audio devices like microphones, and even all System Audio, using the SoundFlower component. Top all that off with a sleek new GUI and full AppleScriptability, and you've got a heck of an update.
