my experience is limited to apples airplay for streaming... it has the advantage of a toslink digital out, and being extremely stable and easy to setup...

iPhone or Android?


Anyone figured out how to add People? I'm hooked up via Facebook, but I can't seem to add someone just by username.

I am of course not expecting high end sound but streaming via Bluetooth worries me a bit- will it drop out? will the range be good enough? It seems the simplest solution. i am on android...

if you're using A2DP, then I'm pretty sure it's limited to AAC...

If you're streaming spotify, then the 320kbps max would be well within A2DP capability...

Cloney have a setup using elac and it sounds excellent...

I'm intrigued by this. Are you able to stream directly from your iPad to your Express? What did you have to do first? I can't see any options on the iPad Spotify app to stream to Airport. Are you setting it in iTunes and it's just automatically streaming from the iPad?

I'm using a mac so it may be different.
as per screen shot below , the only place to see where one can choose airport is on this screen - the green icon on the right.

Initially I opened music (formerly iPod) selected airplay as the out here and then when I opened Spotify it streamed from this also.

Thanks JB. I think I will keep it much more simple and cheap.
I only want it for morning radio/spotify and some kids music/Danish stories etc for the lads when they are in the bath or later when they are older for their own use.

Then just stream via bluetooth from whatever device I might have. I am considering a kindle Fire HD or an Ipad Mini from Santa... ;)
