Service order of network devices is set in the Network pref panel. Having both on may work for you, for my media center I want to route all traffic via the wired ethernet. I'm not familiar w/ any way to route only streaming audio from Music via wifi.

That may be true for purposes of streaming audio alone, but we're talking about having to turn off the ethernet connection entirely, which for my media center mac is not a workable solution.

I never saw this reply. I can confirm that your solution works - by disabling ethernet and turning on wifi, I can stream from Apple Music directly to the WiiM. It's important to note that AirFoil can do this without having to disable ethernet. Also, it's not really an acceptable solution as...

Sadly I do mean AIFF. The DJ world still loves AIFF, and it beats taking your downloads as WAVs (and Apple Music App is fine with AIFF luckily) I run a similar setup... FLACs have a dedicated library on the network, XLD is used to put things in Apple Music App. I still have iTunes Match, tho...

Good point, the majority of my tracks are AIFFs at 16bit/44.1khz. As for streaming from phone, it's just part of my workflow of getting new music, using the star rating system in the Music App.... compounded by the inability for Wiim to play nice w/ the Music App (as well as LMS's inability to...

This is interesting... and I guess disappointing. I understand the distinction re: not actually streaming from your phone. I was under the impression that a lossless AIFF file stored locally on the iPhone when streamed via the WiiM app (under the My Library -> My Music -> iPhone) would stream...

Cool - I'll check that out.

Ok so... 1) Have MacOS sound going to WiiMs on both MacBook Pro and mini (both M1). In troubleshooting I had changed some settings causing that to appear not to work 2) I'm also running running LMS with a dedicated non-Music App FLAC library that works pretty well, but not perfectly. I find...

Yeah something strange about the handshake between music app and WiiM I’d assume. The fact that Airfoil handles it perfectly makes it all the more headscratching. Does your system sound work on hardwired wiim pros or just Wi-Fi or both?

presumably the higher quality is due to the fact that system output is limited to a single destination while music/iTunes can do multiple. Regardless, that’s a good limitation to know about.

As I noted in my post - when I select system output to WiiM, I do not get an error message but I also do not get any sound.

I am in the same boat - can stream from iPhone but not Mac to Wiims. For what it's worth, Airfoil works perfectly, so you're basically just relying on some third party software to do the airplay implementation correctly.

I just found this thread. I just posted about an issue I'm experiencing from MacOS that I can see, but not connect, to my Wiims from the Music app. However, as a workaround, Airfoil works flawlessly to stream to all devices. Of course this only intensifies my confusion.

I do not see non-Wiim devices in the Wiim app. I believe the official solution for this is to use the native airplay control on your phone to send to Airplay devices. In other words, start Apple music, then hit the stream button and select any combination of Wiim or Airplay2 devices.

On MacOs (Monterey) when using Apple Music (formerly iTunes) with my local library, I can see each of my Wiim Pros and Wiim Minis and can check the box to select them as a remote speaker for Airplay. They always fail with the message: "The AirPlay device “[Wiim Name]” cannot be found on your...
