Airplay to Snow Leopard mac mini

I've got a Core 2 Duo running 10.6.8 I'm trying to get connected to my stereo. I was hoping to be able to use Airplay (heck, or Spotify Connect) from a phone or desktop to choose the Mac mini as the output, but I'm having trouble.

I thought Rogue Amoeba's Airfoil Speakers would do the trick but when I run either v3 or v4 on the Mac mini I don't see it as an option to send music to from my phone or another machine. I've also come across Shairport Sync, which is available on MacPorts but I haven't had any success with that either.

Has anyone gotten airplay working on an old 10.6 system?

10.6 doesn't support AirPlay. Your best bet is to get an old AirPort Express with headphone jack, which should work.
