iTunes 12.2.1 airplay bug

[Mike MA]

After installing the new iTunes update, whenever streaming any radio station (Beats 1 or something else), my airplay stream is being stopped and iTunes switches over to my computer as an output device.

The airplay icon than is gone aswell and I have restart iTunes to let it reappear again. Itunes Music or my local library content is behaving just normal.

Anybody else encountered this so far? Did I miss something here?

Yes, I have, apparently Beats cannot be redirected to Airplay. Notice if you play something from your library (or a radio station) the airplay icon reappears, no need to restart iTunes.

Well, streaming Beats 1 is working on iOS though, so I doubt it's a feature and that's why I would not actually say that it's not possible at all. Seems to be some heavy bug. That the icon reappears when changing the content is right, I didn't notice. Thanks for that!
