In my opinion it is not clear in the description that you are more or less bound to yes, Google's (cloud) music app. It or refuses to play your own music library (= "side loaded..." yes yes... - no of course not "bought via google music") The Samsung music app does not work together. The fritz Media app in cast mode has a problem with formats??? (but just plays the same wma on the smartphone/tablet). So that's a disappointment, fat. There will be apps that play, but be a bit picky and don't blindly install apps... And I don't have time for testing. (a private library on the home server with legal audio is still dependent on wired playback method in the living room...)

With a 3.5 mm to RCA cable, the device could be connected to my old faithful analog amplifier. I now listen to Klara (the Flemish classical channel) without faltering and in high quality. Via Klara's app that Chromecast Supports audio, I can also listen to offered previous broadcasts. And there are more channels that support Chromecast.
