Can you use iPhone to simultaneously play music on a bedroom speaker and other music via wired headphones?

Hi folks,


I need to be able to do the following two things SIMULTANEOUSLY from my iPhone 13 Pro Max. Can someone tell me whether - and how - this is possible:


  1. Stream a track from Apple Music to a speaker in my bedroom - my kid falls asleep to it

2.Listen to a podcast via the iOS Podcast app via wired headphones connected to my iPhone


If I use Spotify this works. I can use Spotify to play music on my kid's bedroom speaker, while listening to a podcast with wired headphones at the same time.


I liked the look of Apple Music and wanted to switch to it but it seems that I can't do these things simultaneously with it. I can do one or the other, but not both.


What I want:


iPhone music source #1 (Apple Music) >> Bedroom speaker

iPhone music source #2 (Podcast App) >> Wired headphones


Is this possible? I believe the bedroom speaker is only compatible with Airplay 1.


Any advice much appreciated!


Andrew
