I don't get the point of these iOS apps. I use (and love) AirFoil to send music from my MBP to my AppleTV to have my computer stream music to my TV system's speakers. But who would want to have something sent TO their iPhone?
- GuiA 14y agoI have an old iPod touch constantly plugged in a wall socket and hooked up to speakers in my bedroom. Running AirFoil on it allows me to play anything from my computer/iphone/ipad/etc. . Normally you'd use an airport express for that, but since I had that old iPod touch lying around, I figured it was better to recycle the device.
- cmelbye 14y agoWe have an Apple TV, but it's not connected to the house's speaker system. Airfoil is nice because I can hook an old iOS device up to the main receiver for the house and send music to it through iTunes, Spotify, etc.
- klausa 14y agoYou could have your iPhone docked in some kind of stereo system and have bazillion gigabytes of music that don't fit on iPhone, or just don't want to get up to change the music. I don't think it's used to stream to iOS devices so they can play it back trough their speaker or headphones - I guess it's to use their line out.

- duaneb 14y agoI have 100 gigs of music on my laptop, much more than can fit on my ipod. This is perfect for me.
