Paul Kafasis, writing on the Rogue Amoeba weblog:

We’ve got a great update for Airfoil for Mac today which enables it to once again send audio directly to all versions of the Apple TV. Airfoil for Mac 5.6 is a free update, available immediately by selecting “Check for Update” from the Airfoil menu.

I’m impressed with how quickly the folks at Rogue Amoeba were able to release this update. It’s only been a month since they were forced to release Airfoil Speakers for Apple TV as a workaround to tvOS 10.2’s new AirPlay requirements.

Perhaps the biggest change in Airfoil is that it now supports sending audio to Bluetooth devices. Airfoil has always been able to send audio to AirPlay outputs, like the Apple TV and AirPort Express. Now, it also works with the thousands of different Bluetooth speakers, headphones, and headsets available. With Airfoil 5, you can stream a single application’s audio to a Bluetooth device (or multiple Bluetooth devices!), and keep the rest of your audio on your Mac.

I was always a huge fan of Airfoil. But after purchasing a Jawbone Jambox, I didn’t have much use for it. This update might get me back on board.
