What is the delay on balena sound AirPlay?
Hello there, I'm curious about the status of the balena sound AirPlay feature. Can you tell me what's causing the delay and when can we expect it to be resolved? It's been quite a while since the announcement and we're all eager to get our hands on this feature. Is there any specific reason behind the holdup or is it just a matter of finalizing the technical aspects? Any insight you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

How to use balena sound?
Have you ever wanted to turn your old speakers into a smart, multi-room audio system? Well, balena sound might just be the solution you're looking for. But how exactly do you go about using it? Here's a quick rundown: First, you'll need to download and install the balena sound project onto a Raspberry Pi. This process is relatively straightforward, but you'll need to make sure you have the right hardware and software requirements met. Once you've got your Raspberry Pi up and running with balena sound, you can start configuring your speakers. This involves connecting your speakers to the Raspberry Pi and setting up the audio output options. Next, you'll need to create a balenaCloud account and set up a device fleet. This will allow you to manage and control your balena sound devices remotely. After that, you can start streaming music to your speakers using a variety of sources, including Spotify, Airplay, and Bluetooth. You can also create playlists and groups of speakers to easily manage playback across multiple rooms. But that's not all. balena sound also allows you to customize your audio experience with various sound effects and equalizer settings. You can even use the built-in microphone on your Raspberry Pi to create a voice-controlled audio system. So, if you're looking to turn your old speakers into a smart, multi-room audio system, balena sound is definitely worth checking out. But do you have any questions about the process? Let me know and I'll be happy to help.
