Airfoil 2 Pumps The Volume Up And Rocks the House Down!
Macworld Expo, San Francisco, CA - From booth #431 at Macworld San
Francisco, Rogue Amoeba Software is pleased to release Airfoil 2.0 to the

be sent to the device. With version 2, however, Airfoil is taking things to
a whole new level.
Starting things off with a bang, Airfoil 2 makes it possible to send audio

speakers, of course), and Airfoil can send the audio there. Heck, not even
