Airplay icon missing from iTunes on PC

Hello:  I know this is old school, but I have an extensive music library on iTunes which resides on my PC.  Up until a few days ago I was able t stream to my Marantz CR610.  And then the AirPlay icon vanished.  Have tried every fix possible from other communities / Apple (non-support).  Anyone have an idea of what to do?  My music is being held hostage...

Thanks,

I didn't realize that Windows Computers even ran Air Play; I thought it was just an Apple Thing.

   Can you find Air Play listed in the utilities section?  If not, try to enter it in the Windows search icon and see what happens.

Also...did you do a recent update on the Marantz?  I hada Marantz 7004 streamer, and it was buggy as all get up.  If you did a recent Marantz update and the problem started then, I would try to contact with Marantz (if you thought Apple support was bad...).  If you haven't done a recent update, then I would do so.  I am assuming that the Masrantz has an Ethernet or wi fi connection

AirPlay runs through iTunes, guess it doesn't matter if PC or Mac.  This Marantz has been a pain in my butt since 2014.  They have issues with Pandora - can't use it for a month while they do security patches.  The Marantz is updated, their customer service is beyond the worst.  The Marantz is Wi-Fi.

Thanks for responding.  Eventually this will get sorted out...

My Marantz 7004 isn't even supported anymore--only had it for 3 years--and the reviews that I have read for all Marantz streaming products are all caustic.  It's really sad that a company with their resources can't do basic networking

Very disappointed with Marantz.  Should have been a lot better product / company.  Guess it's time to look around for something else and throw this thing on Craigslist or something.
