   Airfoil 5.7

   Agen G. N. Schmitz

   With [1]Airfoil 5.7, Rogue Amoeba adds full support for sending audio
   from any Mac source to the Apple HomePod (see "[2]HomePod First
   Impressions: Let the (Apple) Music Play," 12 February 2018). Airfoil
   can also handle volume and playback commands sent by the HomePod, with
   playback commands passed on to [3]supported Mac audio sources
   (including Spotify and iTunes). The wireless audio broadcasting app
   also adds support for enhanced metadata and remote control with
   [4]Downcast on the Mac, adds title track support to [5]djay Pro 2,
   stops obscuring entries in the passcode field used for Apple TV, and
   clears Keychain items when performing a factory reset. ($29 new with a
   20 percent discount for [6]TidBITS members, free update, 14.2 MB,
   [7]release notes, 10.10+)
