Left and Right channel audio

All of the music cds I have loaded onto my Mac and iPhone are stereo. I bought two GGMM E series wireless speakers. I want to designate one for left channel and the other for the right. Currently this is impossible with Apple apps. The only way I can do it is to use the GGMM app to play my music to the two speakers as left and right. Problem solved you say. NO. In Apple Music, it is possible to sort my playlist by title. If I have several albums in the list, this has the added benefit of playing different artists and songs from different albums which is what I really like. Unfortunately, the GGMM app is limited to reading the Apple playlist and including the songs in album order (all songs from that album) and plays all the songs of one album before moving on to the next one. It doesn't even read the apple playlist in and use it.


So, for the moment, I have to set both speakers to play stereo. Not very stereo system like.


I mean, who buys a stereo system and wants both channels to play thru all the speakers. Isn't a stereo system playing the left channel thru the speaker on the left and the right channel thru the right speaker what it's all about?


Why is it with these expensive computers and highly functional iPhones that we can't have the equivalent of an extremely smart stereo system?

for ethernet there are many apples is called airplay 2, i'm sure there are 100s of other bids seems your speaker GGMM have their own, if apple threw some R&D resources and maybe paid royalties to the GGMM manufacturers they could make it work, but then they'd have to do the same for the next wireless speakers and headsets who handled it their own way too and so forth
