After thinking about this topic a bit more after sending the last message, I 
seem to remember that these older Mac Mini's don't have something called an 
Airplay receiver or something. I'd have to go back and look it up, but maybe 
someone else in the group knows about that part. One thing I discovered I could 
do, though, if I wanted to take something I was listening to on my iPhone and 
bring it up on my Mac, was to tap Share on my iPhone, and airdrop the link to 
my Mac. When I do that, the Mac either opens the link in Safari automatically 
or I simply accept the request.
Hope that helps,
Pete De Vasto
