I’ve a 2015 MacBook Air working Mojave MacOS. I’ve an iPhone working the most recent iOS. I’ve only in the near past switched from Spotify to Apple Music. I favored the function on Spotify whereby I might seek for tracks or podcasts on the Spotify app on my iPhone and have them play within the Spotify app on the Mac. I would like to have the ability to do that with iTunes/Apple Music (and Podcasts, if attainable).

With iTunes Distant on my iPhone I can connect with my Mac and play podcasts which have been already downloaded to the Mac, or gadgets bodily in my Mac’s library. I may management the playback of Apple Music tracks (that’s, they don’t seem to be in my Mac iTunes library) already taking part in on the Mac — that’s, if I begin a monitor/podcast taking part in in Apple Music, by means of iTunes on the Mac, I can skip ahead and again throughout the album or playlist utilizing iTunes Distant on my iPhone.

What I would love to do is be capable to replicate Spotify’s conduct: search Apple Music (and Podcasts) on my iPhone and have tracks/podcasts I discover there play on my Mac. That’s, not have to look by means of Apple Music on the Mac to seek out new tracks and begin them taking part in there, and never must obtain podcasts into my library, in order that iTunes Distant can see them.

I considered AirPlay. For this I would wish to replace to MacOS Montery, since Mojave does not appear to have AirPlay. I consider I can replace my OS to Monterey, though I would must clear off disk house to take action, since Apple signifies that MacBook Air 13″ early 2015 is suitable (for mannequin identification, I’ve “MacBookAir7,2”, so I consider that that is early 2015). Nevertheless the web page for AirPlay compatibility says AirPlay “works greatest” with MacBook Airs from 2018 forwards. Would it not work with my Mac?

Would AirPlay work with my Mac?

Is there any approach to do what I need with out utilizing AirPlay?

(FWIW, I discovered this publish, that addressed the identical query, however all the data appears dated.)

Thanks for any information!
