Airfoil Speakers Touch: Another fine Rogue Amoeba product

Awesome

By far the coolest all I've used. I literally had 11 devices connected as speakers in the house within an hour (windows, Mac, iOS, and appletv). Would have been 12 if it worked on the 1st gen iPod touch. Great work.
Doesn't multitask.

love airfoil and airfoil speakers for multi room audio, and I thought this app might mean I could avoid getting another airport express or AirPlay speakers. But it seems to have a major flaw. Maybe I'm missing something, but it only streams audio when the app is in the foreground and the screen is active. If I lock my screen, or change apps, it drops the audio streaming. If I check my airfoil audio source the phone no longer shows in the list of devices.
Add Streaming from iOS Devices

I had this app a while ago and purchased the in app upgrade to stream from iOS devices directly. This feature was removed in a later update. I ask that you add it back in cuz I'm sure a lot of people paid for it and lost it. It was a great feature even with the static on iPod Touch 2nd Gen.
AWESOME AWESOME

First: you need to purchase airfoil for Mac ($25) Run airfoil on your Mac. Select iTunes as the source. Broadcast your music library anywhere in perfect synchronization! I had some problems with the pitch bending that others have mentioned. I emailed customer service on a Sunday, and they replied within hours! They helped me determine that my network traffic was to blame. I have 21 devices connected to my wifi, so I updated my router (almost 8 years old) to a new airport extreme and everything works 10x faster! So here is what I can do: play music from iTunes from my main computer and use airfoil and this app to broadcast to: an old iPhone connected to a boom box, two airport express units connected to two different stereo systems, two apple tv's connected to surround sound systems in different rooms, my new iPhone 4s to an outdoor speaker system (when I am outside), my iPad in my bedroom and an older iMac in a loft. THAT'S 8 ROOMS OF MUSIC PLUS OUTSIDE! Each location can be turned on or off (the sound anyway, not the stereo system) from airfoil and the volume of each location can be independently adjusted. 5 stars for this app, 5 stars for airfoil ($25), and 5 stars for customer service!
Fantastic!

Works as advertised. Note you need the Airfoil app for OS X. If you are streaming video to a TV and want to listen to the audio via an iOS device and headphones, you'll need to apply a -2000ms delay to your audio to account for AirPlay buffering. If using VLC, you can do this with the 'f' and 'g' keys. I've pretty much retired my surround sound system in favor of using this app when watching films!
Just works

I'm an daily user of Airfoil on my home Macs & Windows machines. Sometimes it is handy to send audio to an iOS device, for sure. Someone incorrectly stated below that it does not support multitasking. It DOES indeed continue to stream if the app is in the background or the screen is locked. Great stuff.
Would love it more if....

If I can control my music without it playing on my iPhone that would be amazing! Other than that... Love the setup! Also the sound quality seems to degrade comparing to playing music without airfoil :(
Just what I needed!

Purchasing Airfoil was money well spend. I'd been looking for something like this for quite some time and tried different kind of apps, but none worked as great as this. I can now play music from my Mac on my iPhone which is connected to a stereo set. Absolutely recommend Airfoil!
