"LOVE this app!"
Version: Airfoil 4.6.2
Pros
Works flawlessly.
Cons
Can't think of anything at the moment. I'm in love.
Summary
I've actually had Airfoil for years, and it has always been great to have, but I can't believe how good it is now. I'm playing a Spotify playlist (from The Walkmen) and it's streaming perfectly to my Apple TV, an iPhone, and an iPod touch. All in sync! And what's really cool is I can control the playback of the Spotify app on my MacBook with either of the iDevices. How cool is that? Plus, the album artwork is streaming to everything! Sorry, I'll try to calm down but this is just awesome. Thanks to Rogue Amoeba for the great product.

"Spectacular!"
Version: Airfoil 4.5.7
Pros
* Easy to set up
* Works with connected devices (iPhone, iPod touch, iPad)
* Even works through a BT HomeHub, which in the UK has proven in the past to be a real PAIN when setting up wi-fi devices :)Cons
* After waking computer from sleep, Airfoil can start dropping every 5 seconds or so - this is solved by restarting Airfoil
Summary
This is cool software, and well worth shelling out the 20 quid. Easy to set up, and with an Airport Express really does send music throughout the house. Nice to be able to listen to music with other devices (iPhone etc.) and remotely control iTunes from whatever device you're using.
VERY easy to set up too. Buy it. Now. -
"liberation from the liimits of itunes!"
Version: Airfoil 4.0
Pros
I can show avi dvd, virtually all video files in sync and with sound system on my imac, what a feast.
Cons
just a bit balky, but 4 is a big improvement over 3

"Nice! Does exactly as advertised at a bargain price!"
Version: Airfoil 3.5.4
Pros
Sound quality is excellent
Easy to useCons
So far, nothing.
Summary
I am using this to stream Pandora to Apple TV and it works great. Before this I used Pandora on our Tivo box through the TV and then to the stereo. Only problem with that is having to have the TV on all the time - waste of energy. Now I control the music on the Macbook or use Logmein and control from my iPad.
I think the $25 price is a steal! -
"Amazing Software!"
Version: Airfoil 3.5.1
Pros
You can utilize any device you'd like, without limitations.
Cons
Can't think of any.
Summary
You'd be a fool to have a Mac and not use this application. It is perfect!

"DOES NOT WORK WITH SNOW LEOPARD!!"
Version: Airfoil 3.4
Pros
Worked well under previous versions of Mac OSX
Cons
Doesn't work under Mac OSX 10.6
Summary
What's to say, except Airfoil no longer works under Snow Leopard. C'mon devs, time and Apple wait for no man!

"Huge delay problem!"
Version: Airfoil 3.4.1
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
This is a very nice software and I'm grateful that someone is giving us a chance to use our Airport Express as it was meant to be used. But please fix this huge sound delay when played through several Airport Express and not forgetting when played through Quicktime. It is unbearable to watch a movie in Quicktime and have Airfoil stream the sound!
So if you plan to use this software, you should know that you will have a hard time not to be irritated when using Airfoil because of this bug! And it doesn't matter if you are using the latest Airport Express with 802.11n - that's not gonna help you! -
"Half a second delay"
Version: Airfoil 3.3.4
Summary

Still about half a second delay when watching a movie in quicktime and streaming to airtunes.

"Does Exactly What I Want"
Version: Airfoil 3.3.1
Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.
When I learned I couldn't stream Pandora through iTunes to Airport Express, I was bummed. Luckily, a quick search found Airfoil with tons of positive reviews by Mac users.
5 minutes after downloading Airfoil, I was streaming Pandora to my stereo.
Airfoil is amazingly simple to use ... just click the speaker icon and listen.
This is one of those cases where I feel I got exactly what I paid for and would recommend it to anyone who wants to bypass ITunes and stream web based radio directly to Airport Express.
