My Question or Issue

The mac app won't show any airplay devices other than my phone or the web browser. My iphone Spotify app can see and send audio to any airplay device but my mac won't even show them. I think this was working fine when i was using an intel Macbook pro, but I'm not 100% sure if switching to M1 is what triggered this.

Mac app:

iPhone app:

Thank you for sharing your solution, but unfortunately, it doesn’t work for me either. I’ve started a support case with Spotify, hoping to finally get this resolved after two years of waiting. Fingers crossed they’ll address it this time!

Similar to rolle, not a solution for me either.

Similar to rolle, this solution did not work for me.

I just spent nearly an hour with chat support (3 levels) and shared this post. Support confirmed that the Airplay feature is not supported in OSX but that it is in IOS. Support said they would pass this on as a feature request and assured me that they would reply to this exact thread with their official word that this feature is not supported. I await their reply. Spotify support please confirm if the airplay feature is supported in OSX so we are not chasing for answers. Please also confirm that you have forwarded this issue to the proper channel and that you are working to development this feature. Thanks.

I think level 3 support knows nothing then.

I was able to get Airplay device in Macos Sequoia.

I had to enable Layer 3 networking on my network devices, as well as inter vlan services discovery (i'm on tplink omada).
Now i can see my Airplay device even when it's not on same lan.

Salon is a WiiM mini

I have an Edifier 1000W speaker system and speakers attached to my Macbook.  I can air play to both using the Spotify App on my phone, but I cannot find a way to air play from the desktop app on the Mac.  Your website instructs to click the air play icon on the upper right of the app window.  I do not have an a r play icon there (see photo)  How do I air play from the desktop app instead of the phone app?

Hi Noizo,

Can you provide more details about your solution ? I don't understand how you have been able to see your airplay device from the mac os Spotify app. Thx !

As i mentioned above, i had to tweak my network setup to enable Layer 3 Accessibility on all network interfaces.
On screenshots i've added is my AP config from omada controller.
I have LLDP enabled
I also have mDNS enabled on all vlans, and omada provides automated configs for different service types. AirPlay is one of them.

Probably combination of both gives me this result. My WiiMini is in different vlan and wifi then all client devices and i can see it on all devices without any problems now.
I don't know how, but it shows even an airplay TV i used once at my family's home (On other networks).

 

I can also select AirPlay device directly from sound devices in menu bar

All these configs however are very specific to tp-link and omada controller configuration.
Although LLDP and mDNS with bounjour services can be find in many other network hardware providers.

Same issue here on 2 MacBooks pro with M1 and lastes MacOS version. Latest version of Spotify as well. It sucks. Thinking about switching music provider.
