iOS can stream audio to any AirPlay destination, which is awesome, but it can't stream audio to multiple AirPlay speakers like iTunes can. This little workaround with streaming app Airfoil solves that problem.
For those that don't know, Airfoil is a $25 app for Windows and OS X that streams any audio from your computer?not just iTunes?to AirPlay-compatible speakers. It's handy on its own, but this workaround gives it another clever use for getting around iOS' limitations.
You'll also need its free companion app, Airfoil Speakers, which turns your computer into an AirPlay destination. Then, on your iOS device, just stream your audio to AirPlay Speakers on your computer, then stream that audio with Airfoil to multiple destinations. It'll add a little extra latency to your music, and there are simpler ways to do it (like playing it from iTunes directly), but if you absolutely have to use your iOS device, this is a suitable workaround. Note that I've had trouble playing to multiple speakers with Airfoil in the past, though, so you may want to test this out with Airfoil's free trial before you go and buy it up.
Check out Airfoil's full how-to below for the details on the process.
