From: Dane trethowan [email protected] To: VIP L [email protected] Howdy! I purchased a handy piece of software called Airfoil yesterday and thought I'd give it a mini review as people may find it handy, the purpose of Airfoil is to enable the easy streaming of audio - and optionally video - from a computer to another device. This may normally be another computer - say a Netbook, - you can let your imagination run free however as other devices are available for the Airfoil to stream audio to and I'll cover one of those in a few moments. Airfoil is available for both Mac and Windows and - if you plan to use it on both Windows and Mac machines - then the "bundle" pack at $48.00 is certainly worth the buy for both flavours of the software and a single user licence for each and that's what I've done. So how to set Airfoil up? Its pretty much the same for both versions of the software, run Airfoil, select a source of audio for transmission, select your target and hit the transmit button, audio will start streaming from your source and about 2 seconds later you'll hear the audio through your target device or computer. The source can be a sound device or you can "Hijack" an application such as Winamp, Itunes, VLC, Windows Media Player and so on. The target can be another computer running the company on "Airfoil Speakers" software or a completely independent device which hangs off your wired or Wireless network and such a device is an Apple Airport Express, you may find it advantageous to use An Airport Express or similar device if you're planning to stream to a Hi-Fi set up or speaker system somewhere in the house, its cheaper than purchasing another computer or using another computer because you're using far less power <smile>. The Mac version of Airfoil was perfectly accessible however the Windows version required me to do some tweaking with Window-Eyes, some re-classing of custom controls and some further labelling of controls, after I'd done that everything was perfectly accessible and easy to use. This is just a brief explanation of the Airfoil software and the Apple Airport Express so I'll be happy to answer further questions if need be, I haven't purchased the Apple Airport Express as yet but I do plan to and I'll write a mini review of that when I get it. ****************************** Dane Trethowan From Melton Victoria Australia mailto:"[email protected] Twitter: http://twitter.com/grtdane blog: http://www.grtdane.wordpress.com Phone United Kingdom 02032874641 Phone Australia 0390058589 Phone United States 8159261869 Fax: +61 3 9743 7954x MSN [email protected] skype:grtdane12 ****************************** Regards Steve Email: [email protected] MSN Messenger: [email protected] Skype: steve1963 Twitter: steve9782 To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: [email protected]
