What is Airfoil Satellite?
Airfoil Satellite turns a Windows PC into an audio receiver for Airfoil for Mac. It suits listening on a PC while a Mac supplies the audio, with remote controls available in the same window. Satellite can initiate a connection back to Airfoil, so receiving audio does not have to begin at the sending computer.
The remote controls let you toggle outputs, adjust their volumes and switch the Airfoil source. Supported sources can also expose playback controls, track titles and album artwork. The publisher names Spotify and Apple Music among the sources with playback control; those controls are not promised for every application.
Satellite is the receiver and remote, not the Airfoil sender. For the Mac-to-PC workflow described here, Airfoil for Mac supplies the stream. The publisher lists Windows version 5.7.1, released January 31, 2020, and states that Satellite is completely free without a license key.
What it offers
- Receive audio streamed by Airfoil for Mac on a Windows PC.
- Toggle remote outputs, change their volumes and switch Airfoil sources.
- Initiate a connection back to Airfoil from Satellite using Reverse Connect.
- Control playback for supported sources, including Spotify and Apple Music.
- View track titles and album artwork from supported sources.
Good to know
- Satellite is a receiver and remote control, not the sending application; the Mac-to-PC workflow requires Airfoil for Mac to supply audio.
- Playback controls and track metadata depend on source support and are not available for every application.
