Streaming Made Easy: Network Streamers

Streaming music is a great way to enjoy your favorite tunes without having to worry about carrying around bulky CD’s or MP3 players. Network streamers are designed with both convenience and sound quality in mind, making them an excellent choice for most people. Network streamers include Bluetooth streaming capabilities, which means you can easily listen to your favorite songs from any Bluetooth enabled device- even if it isn’t the same brand as the network streamer! We will discuss more of what Network Streamers have to offer and how they work below:

What is a network streamer?

A Network Streamer is a device that pulls audio directly from your music library or internet radio, and in many cases includes options for Bluetooth streaming and Spotify Connect if you want to stream music from the internet. Network streamers typically have an Ethernet port as well as built-in WiFi, so you can choose which connection works best for your needs.

Many network streamers also come equipped with Chrome cast Audio, which allows you to cast your favorite songs, albums, or playlists directly from the Google Cast app on your phone or tablet. This means that you can control what’s playing without ever having to leave your seat!

How do I use a Network Streamer?

Network streamers are extremely easy to use- all you need is a music library or internet radio station and an Ethernet port or WiFi connection. Network streamers typically come with a preloaded list of internet radio stations, so finding something to listen to is easy. If you have a Chrome-cast Audio built-in, all you need to do is open the Google Cast app on your phone or tablet, select the network streamer as the destination, and start streaming!
