The Device menu becomes Connections, with "Connect to Chromecast…" beside the Rabbit sync. It opens a dialog that spins while it searches and lists devices as they appear; picking one hands playback over, puts a small cast glyph under the volume slider, and clicking that glyph disconnects. Media-receiver model: lintunes serves the original file over the LAN on an ephemeral port and the Chromecast decodes it itself. Bit-exact — no transcode, no second lossy encode — and the device buffers for itself. The cost is that lintunes is a remote control while connected: no local PCM, so the visualizer shows the cast glyph instead of bars, and transport actions land with about a second of round trip. Player now walks its queue through a swappable PlaybackSink. It keeps owning the queue, shuffle walk, start/stop times and the play-count and scrobble bookkeeping, so casting counts plays and scrobbles exactly like local playback. set_sink() carries track, position and playing-state both ways, so connecting and disconnecting pick up mid-song. LocalSink stays in player.py because the Player tests stub Qt Multimedia in that namespace. The URL carries an opaque random token, never a path, so there is nothing to traverse with; only the last few played tracks stay resolvable and the whole map dies with the session. Range and HEAD are implemented because the device seeks by re-requesting ranges and won't report a duration without them. Failure handling, verified against a real device: a dropped socket gets a 15s grace period, since pychromecast retries on its own and a Wi-Fi blip heals itself. A real loss, another app taking the device, or a network change falls back to local playback still playing, at the same position — the sink reports the state lintunes last asked for rather than the IDLE status a dying connection pushes just before it goes. Quitting stops the device instead of leaving it fetching from a server that just died. The ~119 Apple Lossless / AIFF / protected-AAC tracks are skipped with a status-bar message; the other 21,000+ MP3 and AAC files cast natively. New dependency: pychromecast>=14.0.10, imported lazily so the app still launches where it isn't installed (the menu item then explains the install), and python_requires raised to >=3.11 to match its floor. NOTE: the other machine needs `pip install -e .` before casting appears. tests/test_round29.py: 67 tests; 440 pass overall. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
