Hello Dane I still have the problem that I can not stream with Airfoil. VLc lets the music sound like a robot and Winamp just makes crackles. I filled in the support form but got no answer. It is really a pity that one pays for software and can’t use it. Regards Fanus

I reinstalled Windows 10 onto my system, I've been using Windows 10 for 12 months, was having problems that were getting too difficult to fix easily so decided to completely reinstall which wasn't a difficult task in itself. So now I have Windows 10 up and running again so now to the annoying bit, reinstalling all that software. I won't be reinstalling iTunes and that's not because of iTunes itself which is a nice piece of software but I myself have no need for iTunes these days, more important in the audio side of things was the VLC Media Player and - given I do a lot of streaming - the excellent Airfoil for Windows App. If you have some Bluetooth or AirPlay device about and you wish to stream to them then Airfoil is truly a most useful tool you should consider and I did say Bluetooth devices so I'll talk about the shortly. The accessibility of Airfoil has come quite a long way since I started using the Windows version, you can use the tab key to move between the various panels of the software, for example each AirPlay device will have its own panel where you can turn transmission of a stream on and off, adjust the volume of the output and so on. The buttons aren't labeled but they'ear easy enough to work out. The bigger problem is entering one's licence key, it can be done but you'll most likely need to use the JAWS Cursor or WE Cursor to find where the information should be entered. So what can you stream using Airfoil? Pretty much anything that exists on your computer, capture an Applications audio for example or capture the output of a sound device or TV Tuner. So now to Bluetooth and the ability to handle Bluetooth is a recent addition to the capabilities of Airfoil If you have a computer which is capable of streaming to Bluetooth devices you can pair your devices and have Airfoil transmit to them independent of your computers speech and other sound. You can also define "Groups", you might like to put say two different devices into a group and transmit straight to the group rather than connect each device independently, saves a lot of time.
