AirPlay (previously called AirTunes[1]) is a proprietary service that allows a computer, iPhone, iPod, or iPad with the iTunes music player or iOS 4.2 to send a stream of music, video, or photos to multiple devices such as an AirPort Express, Apple TV or other AirPlay enabled device.[2]
Implementations
AirPlay wireless technology will be integrated into speaker docks, AV receivers, and stereo systems from companies such as Bowers & Wilkins and Denon[3]. Song titles, artists, album names, elapsed and remaining time, and album artwork can appear on AirPlay-enabled speakers with graphical displays.
AirPlay features are implemented in the iTunes Remote app for iOS, which can be used to control media playback and select streaming devices.[4]
Several third-party AirPlay clients are available that allow sources other than iTunes to connect to AirPlay-enabled speakers. The list of such clients includes Rogue Amoeba's Airfoil for Mac OS X and Windows, axStream (formerly oAEP) for Windows, JustePort for Windows, and raop_play for Linux.
