Receiving From iOS, iTunes, and More With Airfoil Speakers
Airfoil Speakers is able to receive audio directly from iOS devices, as well as applications including iTunes and Radium. These sources send audio out via the AirPlay protocol, and can select Airfoil Speakers as their remote output. This page provides a simple overview on sending to Airfoil Speakers with these sources.

License Required
Airfoil Speakers is a complimentary add-on to Airfoil. However, it is not free on its own - it requires unlocking, with an Airfoil license. When receiving audio from a licensed copy of Airfoil, it will automatically be unlocked. Otherwise, you'll need to manually enter your Airfoil license once, in the License window.
