Hello Dane

I think Airfoil might be somewhat redundant very soon, when Apple releases 
Airplay for all of its devices. Unless, of course, you know different; and I'm 
missing some point, which is entirely possible.

Airplay will also work on the iTunes 10.5 apps for Windows I believe. And, of 
course, iOS5 will support it, as well as Apple TV second generation and later.

Okay foks, here's an accessibility enhancement in Airfoil For Windows I've been 
waiting for, I've written to the developers about the issue of selecting the 
target for transmission of input source for quite some time.

Up until recently the only way you could select a target was to take pot luck 
by tabbing around the screen or moving the mouse, pressing a button and hoping 
for the best.

Some Screen reading software such as WE allowed labeling and customisation of 
the buttons but this didn't seem to work all that well but it worked well 
enough in most cases.

Now output points such as Apple TV'S, Airport Express units, Iphones, Ipads and 
other computers running the "Airfoil Speakers" application are listed in the 
menu which is accessed by pressing the "Alt" key, select the device you want to 
transmit to, wait a couple of seconds and transmission of your selected source 
starts.  Conversely if you wish to stop transmission, select the device from 
the menu and press return, transmission of audio stops.

Under new versions of Airfoil, you can transmit your source to multiple devices 
or instances of computers/Iphones/Ipads running "Airfoil Speakers" on your 
network.
