Chromecast Audio

[Habib]

Anyone have one of these?

 

I've been looking for a way to integrate my speaker setup as much as possible, especially with my computer, and this looks promising. But, I'm weary of the whole "casting" idea in that you need a certain webpage open or that it's only available on certain apps.

 

So, my big question is can I "cast" iTunes from my computer? I can't seem to figure that out from reviews and such.

I don't think that's currently available. Fragmentation has been killer lately for this sort of thing as Google is still trying to make Google Play happen and Apple hasn't really had the desire to make many of their in-house apps Chromecast-compatible with their wish to make Apple TV a thing.

 

THAT SAID...

 

There might be a way if your computer is an Apple. Is it?

Nope. Good ol' PC.

 

The thing is, I can plug in a usb or run a, AUX cable to my receiver and play my iPod or connect my computer, but it's a hassle. It'd be really nice to do it over wi-fi. And iTunes on my computer is lightyears better than the usb interface when playing music. So, when I saw this thing was $35 I paid attention.
