Depends with Mac you have and which version of OSX.

As a rule of thumb if its a mid 2011, or later, Mac running Mountain Lion you can go into system preferences and set the audio out to an airplay device on your network.

If your kit doesn't fit that profile you'll need something like Airfoil

What I am saying is on my iPad and iPhone there is a toggle or pull down menu on the app to allow or change from headphones to airport. The same app for a laptop .... I cannot find the toggle or pull down menu.

Thanks as always. Just so I understand....

1. I can play my iTunes thru my Home system (which I do)

2. I can play my Pandora (iPad & iPhone) thru my home system (which I do)

3. I can play my Spotify (iPad and iPhone) thru my home system (which I do)

4.I can play my Spotify (Macair) only thru my laptop speakers unless airfoil

Am running 10.8.2 on a new air. Can use iPad or iPhone just as easy....just does not make sense to me that the laptop is excluded. Such is life.

You can go into system references a detailed above or hold Option and click the volume icon on the menu bar and choose your AirPlay device

That option-click is sweet. I have to remember to keep trying that everywhere. It does some neat stuff throughout the OS.

Anyway - here is a screenshot of my Airplay devices in System Preferences - as MrPlow is talking about.
