Field Notes

If you use the Apple Airport Express, and you should if you aren’t, then Airfoil is an absolute necessity. One of the coolest things about the Airport Express is its built in audio out port which allows you to connect a set of speakers or stereo via a standard micro plug. From iTunes you can send, wirelessly, music to the airport. The one catch is that by default only iTunes can talk to the Airport. Airfoil solves that problem. For a mere $25 to Rogue Amoeba Software you can send ANY audio to one or more Airport Express units. Below is an image of the Airport interface. There is no learning curve.
