Again, nothing much to do with Itunes though you can Hajack Itunes of
course <smile>, for want of a better description Airfoil takes advantage
of Airplay and does so much more than Ituens does, Airfoil is like
Airtunes with a whole heap of extra features.
Airfoil is supposed to allow remote control on various devices - I
assume w're talkin things like Apple TV and Airport Express here - I've
not been able to figure out how this remote control system works.
You can also stream video but I've not tried this system as yet.

Hello Dane
I don't recall mentioning iTunes, I mentioned "AirPlay".

You're barking up the wrong tree<smile>, Airfoil is designed to "Hijack" other audio
sources, for example you can "Hijack" an input source such as a Line Input or an application
such as Winamp, Windows Media Player and even Window-Eyes so in affect no, Airfoil has nothing whatever
to do with Itunes and is well worth the money for the extra versatility the software has, you can buy a
bundle for Windows and Mac for less than $50.00.

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.
