Something I don't get is what's the point?

I mean that in the nicest possible way

If you have your music on your phone - don't you just use NL multi room and the beomusic app?

Why would you use airplay? 😕

concerning me, it's two points:

-gapless play

-accu saving

'AirPlay multiroom distribution, once enabled, works also towards Bang & Olufsen TVs as well as in integrated setup / "speaker sharing" mode between an AirPlay Bang & Olufsen product and a Bang & Olufsen TV.'

I wonder how long it will take for an Apple lawyer to drop a bomb on Struer... something to do with licensing...

BUT... good move from B&O that they got it working.

And Apple lawyers forgot what Apple originally stood for. Opening up computing and making it accessible.

I would not worry there.

B&O usually don't do things before the coast is clear.

I have zero music on my phone!!!

Why should I?

It is either on my NAS or in the sky (Spotify Premium).

The big change is, that I can start the playback in the appropriate app, choose an AirPlay receiver (my Essence or one of my ATV's)

and then just join-in from anywhere on the NL-network.

This goes of course for any AirPlay enabled music source.

Great News! Well done B&O!

Ive been hesitant in investing in NL due to this restriction. I'd love to hear some feedback from users how it works.

Does it also work with Apple Music songs?

Curious: how does AirPlay save battery? It's not like Google Cast where it's streaming from the cloud, AirPlay streams directly from your device and has to constantly transcode the stream in Apple Lossless to do that. This is an honest question from someone with zero experience from BeoMusic.
