Now you can playback music to both of the speakers; there is nearly zero second delay after adding a slave speaker. e.g. Go to TTpod, choose one playlist, click the preset button, and choose the channel. 5. WiFi vs. Bluetooth While bluetooth is widely supported by portable devices, including smart phones and tablets, you can only stream to one device at a time, usually within a 30-foot range. Apple AirPlay uses Wi-Fi, which has a longer range, and you can stream from a mobile device with Apple s ios software to one speaker or from a computer running itunes to speakers in up to six rooms. Android and Windows-powered devices use DLNA to connect to your home network. The Linkplay Wi-Fi network is very flexible. Each device acts as a Wi-Fi hotspot to extend the wireless range of the system. This system can stream music from different sources in up to multiple locations in your home all controlled by your smart device (ios and Android). Since Wi-Fi enables Cobblestone to stream music directly from the cloud, you don t even need your smart phone around once the initial setup is done. The music will not stop playing when phone is off or get interrupted by the incoming calls. With bluetooth you will always need your phone around to control music play and the music will stop playing when the phone is off or when you recieve phone calls. 6.
