Hey all,
I've just got my Chromecast Audio, which I'm planning on using in Windows with 'normal' music apps. I didn't realise before purchase that the device seems to be designed to force you to use Google Chrome as playback software - I'm wanting to use it with any normal Windows music playback program (ideally not Windows Media Player though!).
Ideally the simpler the software the better as this was actually bought for my dad (who isn't a fan of Chrome, he prefers IE) because due to failing eyesight e.t.c. I thought his laptop screen would make a good UI for playing media rather than a tiny screen on a hi-fi across the room.
Any help / advice or anything would be greatly appreciated
