HT4437 is there a way to connect my ipad with airplay to more than one airplay enabled speaker? at the moment it allows me to connect to only one?

Question

is there a way to connect my ipad using airplay to more than one airplay enabled speaker?  when i tap the airplay icon on my ipad i see the list of all the speakers in each room but i can only connect to one at a time. Itunes, on my laptop, allows me to connec to all of them at the same time but Music on my ipad allows me to choose only one speaker at a time. Can several be connected at the same time using Music on Ipad or iphone?

That's great, but not what we want to do. I've been looking at all the boards for a solution to this and, you are correct. There isn't one - at least not one native to iOS. What I think EricB2 would like, as well as many of us, is the ability to take any audio stream (pandora, tune-in radio, etc.) and stream directly to multiple airplay devices from our iPads and iPhones without having to use the computer. Just walk into the house from the car, hit a button on the iDevice and start listening to the same stream we were listening to in the car on all of our home speakers. I know, this is like science fiction.  My own opinion is that it would cut into Apples lucrative iTunes business model and really isn't in their best interest, so I don't think it will be happening anytime soon. Bottom line is if you want to use your Apple devices for whole house streaming, you need a computer and music from iTunes($$). Otherwise it's $$ out of Apples pocket.
