Ah right, I do recall seeing the note on 24/48 airplay a several pages back. Kind of insane how long this thread is!Re Airplay, it’s been discussed several times in the thread and the last I recall (I may be wrong so search the thread and check) is that WiiM are waiting on the OK from Apple for 24/48 for airplay, and that what you’re seeing is just what Airplay does.
Re playing Apple Music thru the WiiM, it could well be that it’s a feature that WiiM/ Amazon need to add to the MRM implementation method they’re using for the WiiM - tbh, it’s not unexpected as even with real echos, Spotify support came later than Amazon Music and other services, with Apple Music lagging behind that. You should use either the feedback route in the WiiM app or via their FAQ/feature request page on their website to ask if Apple Music and similar services will be supported in the manner you’re trying.
Edit: also, I haven’t seen any mention of lossless Apple Music being supported on Echo or Alexa enabled devices, so that may limit things too
Re: Apple Music direct to WiiM (no AirPlay involved), good idea to be another squeak in the wheel. Will do that.
I will say this streamer is super easy to use and an insane value.
