Bluetooth Sink mode allows to use your Raspberry Pi as a Bluetooth Speaker.

To enable the mode the corresponding property bluetooth-sink (False by default) should be set to True in the configuration file config.txt. After that the Bluetooth Sink option will appear in the Home Menu. The mode can be also enabled using the section Home Menu in the Configuration Web UI.

After switching to the Bluetooth Sink mode the player is ready to receive the Bluetooth stream from any capable device. The following image shows how to configure the Peppy Player on iPhone as Bluetooth device which will receive the Bluetooth stream.

Then you can start the audio playback on your device and the Peppy Player will receive the Bluetooth stream and play it through the Pi audio system. The following example shows how that can be done using the Spotify player on iPhone. The playback (volume/next/previous) in this case can be controlled only on the source device (e.g. iPhone).
