![]() Line 382 defines a bunch of pointers, one of which is "pcm_resample". Thanks to Nils, the raop_play project maintainer, for pointing this out to me. Send any audio to AirPort Express units, Apple TVs, and even other Macs and PCs, all in sync Airfoil for Mac gives. ![]() But iTunes is a total drag - and I'm sure there are other Windows players I'd much prefer (recommendations for bitperfect playback and configurable metadata will be most appreciated!) I know Airfoil will interface with any Windows app and my Airport, and I know several people here are using it happily but I wonder if anyone has captured a stream from the AEX sent with Airfoil to compare it with the original file? Has anyone check to see that it's bitperfect?Īpart from the obvious convenience of being able to use other media players, this would also save me from the task of converting my 500Gb+ flac collection to ALAC!Įdit: In case anyone's interested, the code that reads FLAC can be seen here. So I'm stuck with vmware and, for the time being, iTunes. I'm working with a few people trying to get the raop_play code fixed, but that's not going to happen too soon, I fear. (Amarok + raop_play is substantially more bassy, making it a give-away.) The difference between this and bitperfect playback using iTunes to stream the same music in Apple Lossless format is stark - I can pick it every time, blind. The AEX runs to my Benchmark DAC1 via toslink. I'm a linux user and I've been using raop_play to stream my flac collection from Amarok to my AEX. That's my question - I might as well include a little background. My question is: Does anyone know whether Airfoil is transparent to the audio output of whatever given app? So, iTunes streaming natively (with "Airtunes") to the Airport Express is bitperfect would streaming iTunes (or Foobar, suitably configured, or whatever else) through Airfoil also be bitperfect? My best tip is to use VLC instead of the Airfoil Video Player – in the menubar when VLC is open select Window –> select Track Synchronization and set Soundtrack-synchronization to -2 sec for correct synchronized playbackīonus tip: Airfoil is not compatible with 10.Many are the times I've browsed to these forums, though this is my first post. The Web Video function also has a strange bug scrolling on a webpage causes the speakers (you are streaming to) to make static crackles. The build-in Web Video function's playback manage to use all my Mac's resources, yet the playback is not smooth and the player often crashes. Management is willing to work with you in times of need. ![]() The training in most areas is complete and thorough. Think of a hand placed outside the car window at high speed. After a couple of minutes your Mac's fans are running at max trying to prevent another Chernobyl meltdown. Grain reader (Former Employee) - Crooksville, OH - June 11, 2020. Yet, these airfoils do produce lift, and 'flow turning' is partly (or fully) responsible for creating lift As an airfoil moves through the air, the airfoil is inclined against the airflow, producing a different flow caused by the airfoils relationship to the oncoming air. As soon as you start watching any video the CPU usage is going to spike. The issue with the Airfoil Video Player is extreme CPU usage. However, if you intend to watch a video, the functionality of the build-in Airfoil Video Player is disappointing. Trust me, they get a lot of business these days.Īirfoil is excellent for streaming any audio to any Airport device (for Airport Express and Apple TV, I know for sure). And for $470 less than I would have had to pay otherwise.ĭeveloper: I shall be certain to mention your program to my audiologist. (There are some other apps or software that claim to do some of what AirFoil does, but they were nowhere near as user friendly.) Indeed, AirFoil lets me link from my laptop directly to my iPhone, and from there, it bluetooth connects directly to my hearing aids. I already had a license for AudioHijack, so I trusted this manufacturer. Instead, they want to sell me a $500 device that will run from the laptop headphone port to their device, and then the aids bluetooth to that device.Īs I was doing a ton of research on how to avoid that $500 expense, I ran across a mention of AirFoil. But there's no application interface by the hearing aid manufacturer that will let me do this. ![]() They're able to bluetooth directly to my iPhone, which is nice, but I wanted to connect them directly to my MB Pro. ![]() My situation is a bit different but probably worth mentioning. ![]()
