Virtually, it gives you Squeezelite on > HomePod and any AirPlay-enabled device That is what I am doing at the moment, AirPlay Bridge to Libratone Zip Mini 2 speakers - works nicely, no problems there. The question is: I will have two HomePods, paired as a stereo. Can the AirPlay bridge stream to these two as stereo? If yes, one problem is solved. But there remains the question of controlling the playback using Siri from the HomePod - I will try it out in about a weeks time. > >> >> On the server side, the problem is likely more difficult, as I do not >> know if e.g. Apple Music integration could be managed from any other >> platform than a Mac.

But streaming from a running Music session on a Mac (or in a browser?) using AirPlay to LMS should work. The question: could one control that Music session from LMS?

Actually - I could always stream to the AppleTv via AirPlay, which than sends the sound to the HomePods which are paired for stereo… Interesting.
