Android app to send audio via AirPlay

[wklie]

For the purpose of capturing Android audio (say, from YouTube app, Qobuz app, Tidal app, etc.) to send it to an audio-only AirPlay receiver (such as Lumin hardware), I've found that this app seems to function well during the 10-minute free trial (after 10 minutes it adds beeping noise):

Has anybody tried it?

 

Has anyone found any good alternative Android app for this purpose?  It seems there are a bunch of video-oriented casting apps, I don't know if any of them serves the same audio purpose as well.

 

Thanks.

Not using AirPlay, but BubbleUPnP can capture other music app's audio to play it to most renderers it supports (UPnP/DLNA, Chromecast, OpenHome, but not AirPlay).

Let me know if you want details.

Thanks for the heads up! Will try it. Can acess local network NAS?

I believe AirPlay and AirMusic route the music file through your phone. That is not the path to high fidelity. I recommend BubbleUPnP.  Or try Linn Kazoo, foobar2000 or MConnect,

If you want to listen to music on your phone, or cast from your phone to a UPnP receiver, USB Audio Pro is fantastic, it bypasses the processing that Android OS does to mess up the sound.

Yes, that's how I use it, streaming from a NAS. I've tried several apps. BubbleUPnP is my favourite, by far.

Yep using BubbleUPnP as well. Just exploring some alternatives...

 

Tried it. And don't like it..
