“My Chromecast Audio supports to stream from many apps like Spotify, Pandora, Google Play Music, Rhapsody, but it doesn’t support Apple Music which I listen to regularly on my phone. Is there an alternative way to cast Apple Music to my Hifi speakers with the Chromecast Audio? I am really tired with the poor audio quality of my phone.”
