Using iTunes from the chaise lounge

>Has anyone tried out TuneView from Keyspan?

I have one for review, but couldn't get it connected to the first Mac
I tried, and need to try again from another one.

I have used exactly the setting above. The TuneView is great: it
works as advertised.
However, Airfoil is very unreliable compared with the iTunes internal
way to convey the audio to remote speakers. Quite often, Airfoil
hangs, and this makes useless the whole exercise, since you have to
stand up, go to the Mac, close a couple of error windows, and
restart. I ended up to just listen only to iTunes native tracks,
podcasts, and radios for which you don't need Airfoil.

I don't know what my problem was before, because it has subsequently
installed correctly. It works fine, but it's interesting to see how
clumsy the interface is in comparison with an iPod, which it
superficially resembles.
