I try for a third time, Airfoil and airfoil Speakers use airplay so yep,
third parties can use airplay and this is also true for the new Pioneer
Surround-sound amp I'll be buying, it is "airplay Compatible" thus its
compatible with Airfil, Itunes, compatible devices such as
Surround-Sound receivers, Apple TV'S and so on.

Hello Dane
No, you're still getting me slightly wrong. I'm not talking about iTunes, I am talking about
"Air Play". It's my understanding that third party developers will be able to use the Air
Play API's to develop their own applications to take advantage of the protocol. So forget iTunes;
I'm not talking about iTunes at all. I'm talking about "AirPlay". My understanding is
that Airplay does exactly what Airpoil does. Although I think that they've taken the user
interactivity a lot further. From what I have read, AirPlay is an engine which apps can patch into
to make their software compatible.
So again, I'm not talking about iTunes. I'm talking about the Airplay protocol.
When iOS5 and Apple TV 5 come out very shortly, you'll be able to do exactly
that with those devices. yes, I'm sure that Apple's offering is iTunes. But I
happen to know that third party developers are already at an advanced stage of
working on AirPlay compatible applications which will spread across all
devices, iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch, Mac and PC running Windows.

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.
