![]() ![]() I showed her how the Airport Express worked in her new room. When our oldest daughter came home from college this year, we had already moved into our new apartment. I'm just happy some crafty software engineers built the hack we all want. I've given up hoping or expecting them to do it. There are a lot of things Apple should do. Of course Apple should offer this feature built in on the Airport Express. We'll have Airfoil on all of our laptops before the day is over. So of course I bought a five license bundle just now for $46. I've been wanting to have fredwilson.fm on our pool deck for years now. I downloaded it and tested it by playing fredwilson.fm in my Chrome browser and it played flawlessly on the music system in our beach house. ![]() Basically Airfoil intercepts any audio stream on your machine and sends it to the Airport Express. So yesterday I downloaded Airfoil to my laptop and gave it a whirl. In the past couple weeks, two friends mentioned Airfoil to me. I like it very much.īut my main beef with the Airport Express is it is limited to iTunes. Basically you bring your laptop and iTunes library and we provide the sound system. We use that in all of our kids' bedrooms and increasingly in other rooms in our homes like our guest rooms. We still use that in the main rooms of the homes we own.īut my current favorite music system is an Airport Express connected to a simple and cheap amplifier and speakers. We scrapped that system about five years ago (although I kept two of those music servers for each home we own). We started over a decade ago with an over the top multi-room system that was built on Audio Request music servers and controlled by Crestron. And they keep getting cheaper, simpler, and better. We've had all sorts of digital music systems over the years. ![]()
