"More great stuff from Rogue Amobea"
Version: Airfoil 1.0
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
I got this application as soon as it came out, and it's perfect. It let's me send the audio from my radioshark right out to the Airportexpress, with no issues. I've even used it to watch movies, though that takes a bit of work in terms of making the audio match the video.
For people complaining about that, you should read the FAQ - as they say, the issue is with the express hardware itself, not the software. They can't make the audio play faster than the express will do it, jeez. Rate software for what it does, not stuff that can't be controlled. I don't complain to Apple about my computer turning off when the power goes out.
Anyhow, enough ranting - if you own an express, get Airfoil, it's great. -

"Just what I was looking for"

Summary

With most of the radio feeds I listen to not available from iTunes (COME ON APPLE!! WAKE UP!) with is just the perfect solution for Audio. Not tried the video feeds, but that's not what I purchased this for.
Great job! -
"Awesome for audio, but for video misses the mark."

If you use Airfoil only for audio related applications, it works great. However, if you try to use it for video, the delay is just unacceptable. I tried the manufacturer's suggestion of using mPlayer and adjusting the audio/video sync through that program in conjunction with Airfoil. In my experience, trying to sync the audio with the video took to long and there never really was a true sync. Discerning people will still note the millesecond delay or advance. Can't wait till this is perfected. -

"Password protected speakers?"

It's great software. I'ld love to not have to deal with the 2 seconds delay in audio playing, but that's hardware related... but why is there no support for password protected speakers? -
"Not bad"

It's simple to install and works as describe with a simple interface. The only problem is the 2 second delay from the computer to the Airport Express makes it hard to use with movies or for games (anything with video) but for just audio it's awsome. Not sure if this is possible in the programing but it would be nice to have just the whole computer not just specific apps stream sound.
