Short story: I bought an old CCA so that I can stream Apple Music from my iPhone.
Just two hiccups:
(i) In the Google Home app, under 'Music', I can see the Apple Music icon, but it just plays some random track from Apple Music. How can I choose what I want to listen to?
(ii) When I try to cast from Apple Music, I get a window asking for my 'Airplay code'. Apparently it thinks I'm casting to a TV and that I should be able to find a code onscreen. Except that there is no screen. Impossible to continue beyond this step.
I'm wondering if the problem is with Airplay on my phone rather than the Chromecast, or it could simply be that the two don't play nicely together. Or perhaps there's something obvious that I'm missing?
If anyone out there is managing to stream Apple Music from an iPhone to CCA, please please tell me how you're doing it before I go nuts!
