2 airplay speakers playing simultaneously?

From a Mac or PC, you can stream to multiple AirPlay Speakers simultaneously. Depending on the version of iTunes that you are using, you would just select the AirPlay icon, and then, either select each speaker or the multiple option from the pop-up menu. The following image is from iTunes v11.1

This is what you want:

I just wish I was a bit better than I am with programming as there would be a lot more that I would want to do with this app such as a butter UI and add features like support for spotify, iTunes server and see what is already playing from other users.

If anyone what's to build something like this I can work on UI and testing

Use any computer with a recent version of iTunes to stream to multiple AirPlay devices and use this free app from Apple on your iDevice as a Remote for iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/remote/id284417350

If you are trying to stream to multiple AirPlay Speakers simultaneously from an iOS device (iPad, iPhone, or iPod Touch) you won't be able to as it is not supported. iOS only supports streaming to one AirPlay Speaker at a time.

I had the same question which ultimately led me here. A solution I found, and one I think you and everyone else would appreciate, is an app called Portal . This app allows me to play ALL system sounds to as many airplay speakers as I'd like. This is especially helpful for folks like me that do not use iTunes. It's a tad bit "expensive" for an app at $16...but it works like a charm and allows me to take full advantage of my two airplay speakers.

I just downloaded the Whaale Player which plays up to six speakers from an iPad. The catch is you have to buy the app and pay additional to play more than two speakers. I have an Apple TV, airport express and a Philips Airplay speaker. It was working fine as long as I did not use the wifi with other devices.. It began cutting out.

Apple please! If WHAALE can do it with their app why not Music or Beats Music? There is zero need to introduce a Mac and the Itunes Remote App to make this work. Apple, please simplify, not complicate my life. This is a great user experience, just poorly executed and complicated. Please give us multiple airplay in Music and Beats Music. There is no need for Sonos when apple airplay can do it all. I'd buy another AppleTV and a few airport expresses if this feature were available in IOS.

I would like to be able to play Spotify on 2 speaker systems at the same time.

It seems like Airfoil and their associated Airfoil remote would be the only solution at this time. I agree it is a cumbersome set up. I have not yet tried it. There is no good reason why Apple can't allow this to work from an iOS device, along with ways to adjust volume separately.

This is a "sonos killer" app that must be do able. Many would pay for it.

Keep me in the loop here. Thank you.

I totally agree this is a Sonos killer for a much cheaper entry, however, I will bet someone at Apple is really good friends with someone at Sonos and that is why it doesn't exist and probably never will. This is also why monopolies and mega corporations are a very bad thing. Until then Whaale is the only option (http://www.whaale.com) which doesn't support 3rd party apps. Happy listening.

Hi have to agree, we are still waiting for a resolution to this Apple, I hope your listening, for example in my household we have an Imac, Macbook pro, Apple tv, 2 ipads, two iphone 6's, Time capsule, Airport express, sonos play1 x2, sonos connect amp, airplay compatible pioneer amp and can I easily listen to my music sources no I can't!

Its frustrating, yes I can listen to itunes to more than one device from Imac or macbook but who wants to be tethered to that?

What about when my music i want to listen too is spotify or something other than itunes, i can't play them to more than device.

All the music that I could ever want to access can be had from my iPhone in my pocket, but again I can't do it from there either.....

Please Apple, it can't be too much to ask that you implement the ability into ios to airplay to more then one device, and not just from iTunes.

man is this dissapointing it has been two years and apple refuses to enhance AirPlay for iOS for more than one device. i am at a loss for words. Third party apps and tethering to macs, maybe would acceptable if this was the 20th century. I am shocked that there is not more pressure on Apple regarding this issue

Agreed! I just disovered this problem too when setting up my home network. I'd love to be able to control all speakers in all rooms from my iPad but cannot do so. I have to use my Windows PC but that is way more inconvenient for me. When you spend thousands of dollars on iPads, iPad Pros and iPhones, that is simply not acceptable!

Airfoil also allows you to stream to multiple AirPlay stations from a mac or pc. My question is how do you do the same thing from an iPhone or iPad
