Does Ventura allow you to make your Mac an AirPlay audio-ONLY receiver?
Yes, you can airplay music from iPad to Mac, just open Apple Music and play a song, then select Airplay and choose Mac. That’s simple.
if you don’t have an Apple Music subscription, let’s try the youtube music app to airplay audio from iOS device to Mac’s macOS.
