MMMAC MAN This page says v. 3.3.3 requires OS X 10.4 but it requires 10.5 and there's no link here or on the RA site to a downgrade.

MMMAC MAN Kudos for the prompt correction but there's still no downgrade link. If you misinform me you should bend over backwards to fix the problem you caused.

ANDY HEWITT I've been using this since last year, after I got an Airport Express. Airfoil was a real life saver, or at least a cable saver :-)! Although it allows playing of audio by wireless, I did find that lip-sync in movies wasn't too brilliant. However, that seems much better since the previous update (3.2.6). Overall, these are a nice collection of tools that offer functionality missing from the Mac OS. Soundflower is quite impressive too. Movies play very well in the Airfoil movie player, although you can use VLC as well, but it takes a lot of fiddling with the audio delays to sync with the video. They're pretty stable too, and I haven't had any crashes to date (should I have said that?). This is amongst the shareware apps I have been happy to pay for.

I needed something that would bypass iTunes and stream Pandora to Airport Express. A quick search found this page and these reviews (thanks to THE_BARON whose situation was nearly identical to my own). 5 minutes after downloading Airfoil I was listening to Pandora through my living room stereo and could not be happier. This app is amazingly simple to set up and use... absolutely no learning curve... just click the speaker icon and listen. If only all programs were this easy. Airfoil is a brilliant solution for anyone who is looking to stream web radio to Airport Express.... period.

THE_BARON LOVE this app! I needed a way to stream Pandora radio to all my airport airtunes locations in my house and I couldn't find a way to do it. I was able to stream my itunes music throughout my house, but not Pandora radio. After a few google searches, I came across Airfoil and decided to give it a shot. It took me less than 5 minutes to configure and then it automatically saw all 3 of my stereos throughout the house (front room speakers, living room, and backyard). VERY easy to use...and it works great. No complaints so far. Also the customer service is top notch. I emailed asking if they were planning an iphone app like the itunes Remote app that would allow me to control Pandora over my airport network and got a response within a couple hours. They were very receptive to the idea and the email was very kind. I highly recommend Rogue Amoeba and Airfoil.

LUKEROHDE I've always loved my Airfoil software but needed to use it with VLC to play video because of VLCs video delay feature. However the audio and video never quite synced and vlc is a little awkward to use. I just discovered that Airfoil has a very nice video player, much nicer than VLC and the sync is perfect. I can't believe it took me a year to notice this feature! I thought I better post in case others had overlooked it too.

BLACKSMITH_TB It will allow you to send any audio to your Airport Express, but it introduces about a two-second lag. For watching DVDs, or avis, etc., VLC solves this problem by allowing you to shift the audio (intended to compensate for bad dubbing, I think, but it works perfectly with Airfoil).

SHOCK J Airfoil has it's own video player that compensates for the lag. It also uses Perian to support a bunch of different video formats. On a side note, version 3.3.2 was released 7/19. MU is a little slow on the draw here.

It looks like our servers were having some issues, but they should be sorted out now. Download again, and you should be all set. Rogue Amoeba Software, LLC ==== BE SURE TO REPLY ABOVE THIS LINE! ==== ===============================
