Ok, making some progress.
No Safari window popped up, but going to the Apple Music app, you can select the AppleAir playback and manually moving that to AxiomAir from iPhone did the trick.

Then i found another quirk.
It seems that if one selects tracks that are in the cloud while connected to the Axiom Air, the Apple music app 'disconnects' the AppleAir selection and goes back to its default (the phone or tablet for playback). Hence, clicking on a song in the cloud, which cannot playback because one is not connected to the internet, means that clicking on the next song which is physically on the iPhone also means having to select once again the AxiomAir under the AppleAirplay source.

Yeesh.

I'm still scared to think how multiple people can select music to the same queue when running two different OSes.

Running the system on the Android system was a bit easier, yet also more cumbersome. One needs two apps; the Axiom app and a uPNP app like Bubble Upnp.
The free version of Bubble is limited to a 16 song queue which is really small BUT, it plays both mp3 and flac files which is awesome.
Bubble also controls the Axiom Air volume directly so once it is up and running, you only use one app for all the processes.
Digging that at least.

Why does Apple suck so?
