I don’t understand, not a user of Airplay - your Mac doesn’t have a way to stream to airplay devices? Why does it come down to the app?

The Mac can use the Airplay device as an output device, but it's not ideal, because that will send ALL sound to the Airplay device.

The correct solution is for the application to support Airplay, so that for instance Spotify can stream music to your Airplay device, while the Mac sounds still goes to the speakers of the laptop/iMac.

That makes sense, thanks. I remember now I was using Tidal which did have this option.
