AirPort Express Streaming Audio From Any Program
Foobaz writes "Until now, the only application that can play audio on Apple's AirPort Express has been Apple's own iTunes. But Rogue Amoeba, makers of Audio Hijack, just released Airfoil, a program that lets you redirect anything to your AirPort Express, like streaming audio from mplayer, RealPlayer, or VLC."
Do I need an airfoil hat to use this?
It emits noise after using for ten minutes, unless you purchase the "pro" version
That's just your music. Try this site and see if it helps.
I only came here to do two things; kick some ass, and drink some beer...looks like we're almost out of beer.
I think I speak for all of us when I say AWESOME!
Kudos to the hackers though..
If you don't know what AltaVista is (was), get off my lawn.
Only if you fly with TWA.
I'd like to be able to pipe audio from my girlfriend's iBook to my desktop's speakers
Yeah, and I'd like to pipe your girlfriend's box, but will Apple help? Nooooo. "We aren't really in that business." Pfft.
mplayer, RealPlayer, or VLC...
Or... Doom3. Wonder how long it will take for the neighbors to call the cops.

When did we get that extra 1%?
A programmer is a machine for converting coffee into code.

No, not origasmi. I was thinking more the kind your neighbor's dog carefully arranges on your lawn. Dogs certainly know their feng shuit.

This is totally wrong. No one should EVER modify Apple products without express consent from Apple. We all know that Apple makes the best products out of the box and that no modifications could ever be necessary.
You think you own the product, so you should be able to do what you want with it? Sorry, but no, it's an Apple product and such notions do not apply to Apple products. Unless Steve Jobs gives the go ahead and gives it his blessing.
I would like to be the first to say that this is unethical, immoral, and wrong. Since when could another company profit off of hacking another companies product? Since when did you gain the 'right' to modify or change the operation of something you own, even if it isn't a physical modification?
I, for one, say Apple should sue the crap out of this company like that sued that college kid.
Exactly why would I want to stream audio from Notepad.exe?!
If someone says he and his monkey have nothing to hide, they almost certainly do.
Consider yourself disemvoweled...
