Airfoil for Mac and PC

3/14/2013

If you've been using Apple's Airplay technology on your Mac or PC to stream audio to an Airplay device (such as an AppleTV or Airport Express) then I think you'll really like Rogue Amoeba's Airfoil software.  What's a little frustrating about Airplay is that Apple only allows you to stream audio from their iTunes program on your Mac.  With Airfoil, you can now stream audio from ANY application on your computer: Pandora, Spotify, a radio station streaming through your web browser, etc.  The software also allows you to send audio from your computer to your Apple devices, your iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad.  I love it because I can listen to podcasts playing on my Mac on my iPhone and carry it with me from room to room as a portable speaker.  Why Apple doesn't allow you to do this in the first place is a little hard to understand...I've been trying to figure out how to get this functionality on my Mac for a while and was happy to hear about Airfoil a few days ago!

The software costs $25 bucks but you can demo it for free.  Be warned, though: the trial version cuts off the audio after about ten minutes. If you decide to purchase a license for the software, you can save $1 off the price by using the coupon code: BUCKOFF.  For me it was $24 well spent.
