How to stream music to multiple speakers in Mac OS without iTunes

Have you checked out Airfoil from Rogue Amoeba Software? It is a pretty cool streaming audio server, and it is very easy to set up.

It sends audio to Macs, PCs, iOS devices and Android devices, once you install the free Airfoil Satellite app on any particular device.

It works with Apple TV, HomePod, Google Chromecast, Sonos devices and Bluetooth speakers.

It is also compatible with Spotify and Pandora.

The server itself costs $29.00, but I think it is a good deal for what you get.

Here are some links to learn more:

And here is another one for info regarding the satellite apps:

If you find the above helpful, or if it resolves your issue, please let me know. Thanks!

I second the Airfoil recommendation. It's a lovely piece of software. Well worth the money.

Yeah, Rogue Amoeba has been around for many years and has some pretty cool stuff which I occasionally use, such as Fission. I also used to use SoundSource, but no longer have a need for it.

What would really be cool is if Airfoil could stream across the Internet like Air Video Server HD does. I don't think it has that capability right now.

Also, it would be great if Airfoil could work just like Air Video Server HD, in that instead of just letting you hear whatever is currently playing on your server machine, you can assign directories on your server machine to Airfoil, so that you can actually see playlists on your satellite app, and choose which song you want to listen to on your satellite device. Now that would be nice!

I can't even remember when I bought Airfoil it was so long ago.

You took the recommendation right out of my mouth! ;-)

Wow! I hope it didn't hurt when I yanked it out of you. :)
