Turn Mac in airplay speaker

[dikketienes]

Hi,

I found some articles about making your iPhone/iPad into a airplay speaker.
But is it also possible to make your Mac into a airplay speaker.
So I can steam music directly from my iPad to Mac.

Thanks,

Dick

Why not just use remote to play music off your computer?

Because my speakers are connected to my mac mini (the one I want to use as airplay speaker) and most of my music is on my laptop and iPad not on my Mac mini. And it's faster.

Exactly what I was looking for a way to stream music from an iOS back to a Mac with speakers.

So dick, are you going to share the article links with us?

I started a similar thread on this issue here: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/1060881/

Just today I found this. Didn't test it yet but seems promising.

Doesn't seem to work for me (the app that turns your Mac into airplay speakers)

Apparently it only works with movies.
Let's hope it will also support Music in the future.
