Airfoil 3.1 adds Apple TV support

February 21, 2008

Filed under: Software, Apple TV

Rogue Amoeba has announced an update for Airfoil to version 3.1, adding support for sending audio to the Apple TV. Unlike the built-in iTunes support, Airfoil allows you to stream any audio source from your Mac to your Apple TV, Airport Express, or other Macs running their Airfoil Speakers client application. This allows you to use your Apple TV to listen to web-based "radio" sources like Pandora (my favorite) or last.fm, as well as other media players like QuickTime Player, etc.

Airfoil 3.1 is a free update to registered users and $25 for new users. A demo is available for download.

Review: Apple TV, Take Two

The Apple TV failed to capture a big audience when it debuted in 2007. But the recent Take Two software update, which largely severs the cord between the set-top box and the computer, expands the Apple TV’s functionality enough to merit a long, hard look at its newfound capabilities.

Article: Apple TV 2.0 vs. Blu-Ray, DVD & HD Cable: The Comparison

Apple calls them “high-definition movie rentals,” but to people familiar with Blockbuster Video, Netflix, and HD cable box alternatives, Apple TV 2.0’s new ability to download and play back certain 720p movies is more of a “video on demand” service—with certain advantages and limitations. So how do Apple’s HD movie downloads compare with DVDs, Blu-Ray Discs, and currently available HD video on demand content?…
