Airfoil takes audio from any application on your Mac and streams it to AirPlay speakers, Apple TVs, Macs, iOS devices, or Chromecast — including apps that don’t support AirPlay natively. It’s the missing piece when you want Spotify or a browser tab playing through a different room’s speaker without fussing with system audio routing.

Airfoil Cheatsheet
Sources
Airfoil can capture from System Audio (all output), a specific app, or an audio input device. Select the source from the dropdown at the top of the main window. Only one source is active at a time.
Speakers
Each AirPlay device on your network appears as a speaker tile. Click the power icon to connect. Volume is set per-speaker. Latency can be adjusted per-speaker in preferences to keep everything in sync.
Satellite
Install Airfoil Satellite on other Macs or iOS devices to turn them into receivers. Free companion app, available separately.
