Change country to make Nest Hub activate AirPlay?
Apple Music doesn’t provide AirPlay support so you’d need a hardware bridge such as a Starling Hub or a software bridge such as AirConnect. I’ve tested the latter on Windows and it works, but it’s a bit ‘hacky’. Ideally you’d want it running on a server like a Raspberry Pi.
