    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?

      @Rinzwind As i understood the question in the link is about airplay-powered speakers and the problem is about to cast from ubuntu to speakers. I have different problem: i have simple speakers which connected to ubuntu mahine with cable and i want cast from iphone to this ubuntu machine.

      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    Shairport is no longer maintained since July 2014.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 ?
