Airplay function with Apple Music like Spotify

I copy-paste an old question that stayed without answer because I have the same problem.

" I've been using spotify for years, I switched to apple music last night. but I can't find one of my favorite features on spotify in apple music. I was able to control the phone from the computer or the computer from the phone using the airplay feature in Spotify. I could change the song if I wanted, I could play it on Macbook or Iphone. For example, I'm in the kitchen with my iPhone and my macbook is in the room and playing the song. I could change the song on the iPhone next to me and make it play a different song without touching my macbook in another room. i want to do this on apple music it expects me to upgrade to family plan. this made no sense to me. I hope I haven't figured it out yet. I'm waiting for your help. thanks."

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 13.4

Hi Danakayw,

I'm able to play music on my different devices. My question is about controlling the app on one device through the app on another.

For example, with Spotify, I can decide if I want my phone to play something different than my computer OR to sync it and then my phone can act like a remote control. It's not airplay, it seems to be something into the app... in other words, is there a way I can control apple music running on my computer(mac) with my phone.

thank you
