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. – mirt May 30 '17 at 13:38
  • Simply pairing your Ubuntu machine and iPhone over Bluetooth does the trick. – Fazil Jun 17 '17 at 20:17
