How to listen to new Apple Beats1 radio station on Qute?
Posted by: Tom Mitchell on 02 July 2015
The new Apple Beats1 24/7 live radio station is really good....
Has anyone successfully added it to their vTuner pre-sets yet?
Thanks in advance!

Sounds unlikely that Apple would make it available outside of their apps. What not just get an Airport Expresss and send it by Airplay?
Asset upnp enables you to stream the output of your sound card to your streamer. Only on a computer mind. I use it to listen to qobuz and some pod casts I listen to. It may work with beats 1.

+1 I'm really starting to dig Apple Music when I want to listen to lossy music.
In the coming months you can add the Apple TV and maybe Sonos to the list of supported hardware.
Sonos and Apple have confirmed Apple Music will come to the platform so hopefully that will also include Beats 1. It will be interesting to see if Apple is willing to go beyond the already announced hardware and software integrations.
Now that Apple TV is reduced $US30 to a miraculous $69, AirPlay is finally within reach of even the most strapped Naim owners.
Whether on-board AirPlay would out-perform an attached Apple TV or Express is unknown. In practice, I find it is good enough, when the AirPlay-urge (occasionally) arises. With System Automation properly set up, the user experience is as good as it could ever be: I press my "AirPlay" source in the Naim app, and "it just works".
It beats lossless via Sonos, IME.
