-- Selects AirPlay speakers and sets volume.
-- Variable apsp is the Speaker's name as it appears on AirPlay list in iTunes
-- Variable sndLevel:
-- "1" = Apple TV selected but Volume Off (I can use Apple TVs remote if I need to pause)
-- "6" = Highest, "2" = Lowest
-- "0" will deselect unwanted speaker or TV, in case device is already selected in iTunes.
tell application "iTunes"
set shuffle enabled to false
-- Setting Computer volume to 0 instead of deselecting. If no other speakers are selected, deselect option could fail.
