7. Playing Music on Android (DLNA)
7.1. USING DLNA ON ANDROID
What is DLNA?
The AeroSphère speakers work with apps that have DLNA support. DLNA is a standard for streaming audio via a
home network to a speaker. Once a user selects the AeroSphère speaker in a DLNA app on a smartphone, the
AeroSphère speakers will switch automatically from the current audio source to DLNA. DLNA works very similar to
AirPlay. The main difference is that DLNA must be support by the music app itself, because the Android OS does
not have an DLNA output function similar to the AirPlay button on the iPhone control panel.
Recommended Android apps
We recommend the following apps for streaming music from your Android phone or tablet to the AeroSphère
speaker:
•
“Music” on Samsung phones (pre-installed music player app on most Samsung phones)
•
“BubbleUPnP”
