AirPlay not possible when listening to beats1

I was able to stream to my airplay speakers using the app "AirFoil" - works perfectly ! as I cannot stream from iTunes either.

Same for me ... sad that Apple chose to not let us use airplay with their shiny new Beats 1. It works to change your system settings sound output to your airplay device (I'm using an airport express). Not the best work around but at least it works. ... Stupid for Apple to do this, maybe its an oversight and will be fixed in the next update.

This is seriously lame. You can still use Airplay with internet radio stations. But Apple won't let you play Beats 1 over Airplay? This makes no sense at all. Is it because Beats 1 is part of the paid subscription plan? If so, That ***** even more. If I'm going to pay $10 a month for something, I should be able to play it on my wireless speaker system.

There is a fairly simple workaround for this.

• Go to System Preferences > Sound > Output
• in the list scroll to your Airplay speakers and select them
• adjust volume as necessary

I'm a software developer and though I found it unexpected that I couldn't choose Airplay from within iTunes when playing Beats1, I understand that a lot of work went into the Apple Music update and there are tradeoffs that have to be made to ship the software.

I imagine it will be coming in an update. In the meantime, use this workaround.
