Google Chromecast Audio: Stream your favorite music with Google Chromecast Audio. Simply plug into your speaker's auxiliary input and connect to your Wi-Fi network. Then just tap the Cast button from your favorite apps on your phone, tablet or computer to cast songs, radio stations and podcasts to your speaker.

I love being able to enjoy music in the entire house with the "multi-room" feature. I have an older Victorian house where the living room and kitchen are separated by doorways, so if I play music in one space, it's hard to hear it in the other space. This usually leads to playing music too loud for the room you're in but too soft for the one you're not in...but with 2 Chromecast Audios and multi-room, I can easily play synchronized music in both rooms at the same time.
My Best Buy number: 0087161922
I would recommend this to a friend!

iTunes support?
The guy at the Best Buy store said I could use chromecast audio with my iPad Mini and my MacBook Air. But I did some research at home and it looks like chromecast audio DOES NOT support iTunes, which is what I want to use it for. (I've loaded a bunch of my CDs into iTunes and want to play them through my amplifier.) Before I load any apps, I want to be sure chrome cast audio supports iTunes. Can anyone confirm that it does or does not support iTunes on an iPad Mini or MacBook Air?
Sorry, as far as I know, you can't cast directly from iTunes to Chromecast...but you *can* use the Google Play Music Manager on a laptop to sync between Google Play Music and your iTunes library, which lets you cast everything in your library from any device (that's what I did).

Can I cast to 2 different receivers at the same time?
I have 2 receivers- 1 in my bar/game room and 1 in the living room. I would love to be able to listen to the same thing throughout the house (yes they are on the same wireless network) if I hooked these up to both AUX ports in the receivers could I cast to both at the same time so I would have everything play throughout the house?
Now that Chromecast Audio has a "multi-room" feature, yes you can absolutely do this. Just open up the Chromecast app and create an "audio group", see https://support.google.com/chromecast/answer/6328691 for more. I did this in my house and it sounds great!

Chromecast and Bluetooth options?
If I'm using this through my home stereo, and controlling with my iPad, can I still use bluetooth speakers at the same time?
If your bluetooth speakers have an "audio in" port (mine do), then yes you can plug a Chromecast Audio into them and have it synchronize with your home stereo (that's what I do in my house). That being said, I don't think you can simultaneously play from the same iPad via bluetooth (that is, connecting with your BT speakers over BT and not using a Chromecast Audio) and Chromecast at the same time (at least not without a weird delay).
