AirPlay support using shairport

[Alwiz79]

I updated my installation of phoniebox with AIRPLAY compability!
Just want to share my experience here.
I followed this step by step installation guide, on top of the running phoniebox.

Everything is just working fine and I can see no problems...
I can now swipe cards to use phoniebox, and I can also send music from my iPhone to the Rpi.
The two options will not stop each other, which means:
If Phoniebox is running and you send Airplay music to the Rpi it will play both at the same time, and vice versa.

Anyhow, to me this is a restriction, that I can live with, it just requires a little discipline :-)

You can add a command to stop mpd to /etc/shairport-sync.conf. See sessioncontrol in config file

e.g.
run_this_before_play_begins = "/usr/bin/mpc stop"
run_this_after_play_ends = "/usr/bin/mpc play"
