I have successfully linked my MacPro to my home stereo through the Chromecast audio puck I just bought. But now I want to play the Apple Music from my iTunes library. I know Apple Music is not in the support list of Chromecast audio. Why doesn’t Apple accept Chromecast? Since I don't want to give up Apple Music, I got a method from Google. Is it legal to convert the Apple Music for personal use?
Try this way!
Apple Music is protected by DRM which you can't cast on your Chromecast directly. In order to make your Apple Music castable on your Chromecast, you may need to convert your Apple Music so that you can cast Apple Music on Chromecast, here, you can try TuneFab Apple Music Converter, which easy to operate.
How i Stream Apple Music to Chromecast
I bet we all know that we can download Apple Music songs on devices for offline listening. But we can't add the downloaded music to non apple software for playing. Chromecast or Chromecast Audio won't have the chance either. Because Apple Music songs are DRM protected audio file.
If we remove the DRM and convert Apple Music songs to normal audio file, say MP3, then we can easily play them on your Mac or Windows PC and cast them to Chromecast/Chromecast Audio.
Or be smarter, we upload our favoriate Apple Music songs from our Mac and Windows PC to Google Play library[/URL] (in cloud) and then stream them using Google Music app which has support for Chromecast/Chromecast audio on any device we have. Because, yes, we can download Google Play Music app on iOS devices as well!
Just follow the steps below to convert Apple Music to upload and steam them using Google Play Music app.

Hi people!
Today I stream Spotify from my PC in my home office to my PS3 in the living room with ps3mediaserver. It's great that this is possible, but when I want to listen to a spesific song/playlist, I have to go to my computer and find the song/playlist there.
Is it possble to stream Spotify from my HD2 (with the official spotify app) to PS3 as I do from my PC? It would be great to use my HD2 to scroll through playlists, choose songs etc. and have the audio streamed to my TV speakers.
Cheers!
Hmm, I guess it's not possible..
I have an XM receiver which I "line in" into my computer and encode the music with Microsoft Expression Encoder 4. The encoder outputs it to a wma stream which I can then access over the Internet on other computers, laptops, etc. using the URL (which points to port 8090).
BUT I CAN'T GET IT TO PLAY ON MY TP2. On the phone, I have tried Windows Media Player, Nitrogen Player, and the phone's Streaming Media Player. Nothing works.
Suggestions welcome.

SPB Radio can stream music as long as you stream it through internet and in .pls format.
You can enter an URL as a new radio station and as long as it has a DNS or an external IP you should be fine. You can use Shoutcast to stream your own music from home (if that's what you want).
Home: Computer running with Winamp and Shoutcast, internet active and external IP.
Your phone: open SPB Radio and type your external IP followed by the port (Example http://81.254.128.68:8000)
Just a heads up guys that Plex is in the market place now for download allowing streaming of all your movies, music and pictures from your home PC. Best part is it will convert recordings from Windows Media Centre on the fly, so for me during my train rides home I can now watch TV.
I followed the Forum Rules and searched but can't find anything on what surely must be a very frequently asked question.
I got a 3-month free trial of Google Play Music. Works fine on my phone so bought a chromecast audio and connected to amp+speakers, now I can cast and streamed music works as expected. BUT having unplugged my local media player I can no longer listen to my local media.
It's inconvenient having to plug and unplug all the time. How do I hack the chromecast audio device to stream from local machines as well as from Google Play Music?

It will stream a PC's audio to chromecast
The easiest solution if probably just to upload your music to Google Play Music. This will also allow you to initiate playback using a Google Home if you ever buy one.
it doesn't support directly playing local tracks, it requires uploading music to your library for playback.

yea even i had that problem later i figured out.
The answer is in the first reply. Go read the thread on Bubble UPNP.
What works and what doesnt (iOS 13) ?
1) Does is support app notifications?
2) Does it have health data sync?
3) Will it continuously display the current song playing on my phone? Can I use the watch to go back / forward a track?
4) Does it support pairing directly to bluetooth headphones and spotify premium (offline) music if I want to leave away from the gym?
5) Is there anyway to transfer MP3's using Windows or MacOS for offline listening if it doesn't support spotify premium if I want to leave the phone away from the gym?
6) Does it pair to the phone via bluetooth or wifi? Does it need a companion app running in background 24/7?
Anything to be aware about?

Unfortunately, Spotify doesn’t offer its service to Huawei GT 2. Thus, you cannot listen to Spotify music on Huawei GT 2 now. The best method to get Huawei GT 2 Spotify is to download offline Spotify music tracks. With the Premium account, you can download Spotify music but your Spotify music are cache files.you can transfer Spotify to MP3 by using the Tunelf Spotify Music Converter which can download music from Spotify to MP3 and save Spotify music with the original audio quality. To transfer Spotify songs to Huawei GT 2, you need to move those converted Spotify music files to your phone first. Just connect your phone to your computer for uploading Spotify songs. Then import Spotify songs to Huawei GT 2 from your phone.
