Airfoil ReviewHuge delay problem! - Version: 3.4.1, 11/17/2009 08:49AM PST

Jedih
This is a very nice software and I'm grateful that someone is giving us a chance to use our Airport Express as it was meant to be used. But please fix this huge sound delay when played through several Airport Express and not forgetting when played through Quicktime. It is unbearable to watch a movie in Quicktime and have Airfoil stream the sound!

So if you plan to use this software, you should know that you will have a hard time not to be irritated when using Airfoil because of this bug! And it doesn't matter if you are using the latest Airport Express with 802.11n - that's not gonna help you!

Airfoil ReviewAirfoil for Airport Express - Version: 3.3.4, 10/5/2009 10:36AM PST

This is just great. So far, all applications I try play through Airport Express, rather than being limited to just what will play through ITunes. No interference, no volume decrease, no quality decay.
