Select Audio Player

[deeno]

Dear support forum,

I was wondering, if there is a way to select the audio player (or output device) in music bee.
For example, AudioCard, Bluetooth Device, AirPlay, DLNA.
I am used to this kind of functionality on my current setup (Synology) which I am trying to replace by (hopefully) MusicBee on a Windowsn MiniPC.

I am aware, that one can for example directly connect a bluetooth speaker to a windows pc, and then the music automatically plays through the speaker instead of the audio card - but this wouldnt help in my case, as I want/need to be able to do this without having to connect a screen to the MiniPC, which is sitting next to my HiFi - connected directly via optical cable. I just want to be able, to switch from the HiFi to lets say the bluetooth speakers in my kitchen or bedroom, just by using MusicBee...

Any idea if this is somehow possible, or any different approach recommendations?

Maybe as an alternative, a Android based app would help, which allows me to change the audio device on Windows 10 directly? So far I wasnt lucky to find such an app...

Thanks in advance!

I just found as an alternative AirFoil for Windows, and it can be controlled via AirFoil Satellite for Android. Worked nice on a first short test with simoultaneously playing to the PC audio card, a bluetooth speaker, chromecast and android phone speaker. Still, I would never use them all at once, an option selecting the player over MusicBee would be much better...

It's not really hidden. It's also available from Preferences > Player > output
