Show: These options will toggle the visibility of various options in Airfoil's Source Selector pop-up, at the bottom of Airfoil's main window.
Allow control from remote speakers: This toggle adjusts whether Airfoil listens for commands from the remote speakers, via an Apple Remote talking to AppleTV or a Keyspan Express Remote talking to an AirPort Express.
Control Script: This menu adjusts the script used to interpret remote commands. Leave this at the default, unless you create or use a script with a specific application. The Automatic option supports sending commands to iTunes or QuickTime Player when selected as the source in Airfoil.
Automatically transmit to: When launched, Airfoil will immediately begin transmitting audio from the last selected application to the selected speakers. To turn off automatic transmission of audio, just uncheck all boxes.
Play Local Audio Through: This setting adjusts the audio device through which audio from Airfoil's Computer output plays.
Automatically check for software updates: With this option activated, Airfoil compares itself to the most current version available from our server and alerts you when a new version is available. Leave this on and Airfoil will help you stay up-to-date.
