Good morning,  I have 2 questions for my beoplay A6 (It is one year I have it, and I have been using it with Tidal but due to the fact that it's a little expensive I decided to go with Apple music(student) ...and I have questions)

 

1- How can I use Apple music in google cast mode? In other words, I don't to stream via my phone...as it would always interrupt when I leave the house.  I would like to use like I did with Tidal + Google cast or Spotify Connect.  I would not mind using DLNA or another approach...but it's important to me.

 

2- When I use beomusic and I select IOS Library, my library is grayed out and I cannot play a song.,,, I can see the song list, play list...but cannot select it.

 

regards

concerning question 2: the music has to be physically on your device to be available, just in the cloud doesn't work

Hi, for this issue, maybe you could take a try of using a third-party software to convert Apple Music to common audio formats like MP3, etc. Here you could use DRmare Audio Converter for Windows.  This program can help you make Apple music playable on non-apple devices and convert the music with lossless audio quality. After that, you can stream the converted Apple music to your BeoPlay A6 for offline listening. Hope this tip will help you.
