Hi, after a recommendation from What Hifi, I bought a Chromecast Audio, with the intention of sending Apple lossless music from ITunes on my Mac (ideally) or iPhone/iPad, to a wirleess speaker in the kitchen and my second hifi (no digital input). However, I haven't been able to get it to work.
First problem was there was no Chromecast app in the App Store, however it seems we're now meant to use the Google Home app, so I got that downloaded and got the Chromecast set up. I've been able to play the Google app's sample music from my wireless speaker, but none of the apps I use, iTunes or Amazon Music, identify the Chromecast as an external device to send the music. I don't want to invest time/money in setting up a music library in the Google app.
i realise that it may be that due to tech-corp rivalries Apple has disabled it as far as possible with their devices/systems.
Has anyone had any more success with this, and/or got any suggestions for a apple-friendly comparable device?
Many thanks
