Basically Airfoil intercepts any audio stream on your machine and sends it to the Airport Express. So yesterday I downloaded Airfoil to my laptop and gave it a whirl.
In the past couple weeks, two friends mentioned Airfoil to me. I like it very much.īut my main beef with the Airport Express is it is limited to iTunes. Basically you bring your laptop and iTunes library and we provide the sound system. We use that in all of our kids' bedrooms and increasingly in other rooms in our homes like our guest rooms. We still use that in the main rooms of the homes we own.īut my current favorite music system is an Airport Express connected to a simple and cheap amplifier and speakers.
We scrapped that system about five years ago (although I kept two of those music servers for each home we own). We started over a decade ago with an over the top multi-room system that was built on Audio Request music servers and controlled by Crestron. And they keep getting cheaper, simpler, and better. We've had all sorts of digital music systems over the years.
