I have a machine with Ubuntu installed and simple speakers connected to this machine via cable. I want to be able to cast music on this machine via my iPhone. Is it possible? What software should I use?

  • Simply pairing your Ubuntu machine and iPhone over Bluetooth does the trick.

    Shairport is no longer maintained since July 2014. Do you know other opensource alternatives ?
