1. Music at home - AirPlay

AirPlay is a technology designed by Apple to transmit audio and video instantly from source to source within a Wi-Fi network. Once AirPlay is configured, you can stream from iTunes - both on Mac and PC - or you can use your iOS devices: iPad, iPhone or iPod touch. This means that you have your entire music library in the palm of your hand, ready to be set free.

2. Music on the go - Libratone PlayDirect™

Libratone PlayDirect™ allows you to stream your music wirelessly in non-Wi-Fi areas from Mac/PC, your iOS devices: iPad, iPhone or iPod touch or even using DLNA. Libratone PlayDirect™ technology creates a direct network connection between your Zipp speaker and your music device making Libratone Zipp the ideal portable speaker anywhere you go.

3. AUX audio input

Use any kind of playing device or music source as long as it has analog AUX audio out:

• iOS devices (iPad, iPhone, iPod touch) and iPods.
• Mac/PC's equipped with minijack output.
• Mobile phones and tablets running Android, Windows or other operating systems.
• TV's and classic stereos equipped with minijack output.

Setup is simple: You only need a playing device, a shielded minijack cable and your Zipp, of course. Connect the minijack cable between your playing device and the Zipp, and you're good to go.

4. USB audio input

Use your iDevice and the iDevice connector cable to send music to the Zipp. Setup is simple: Connect the iDevice-to-USB cable between your device and your Zipp and let the music play.

5. DLNA - Android / Windows Phone 8 / Windows support

With DLNA enabled firmware on your speakers - you can stream music from your DLNA ready music app on your DLNA ready Android / WP8 / Windows computer to your Libratone speaker without using AirPlay.

Basically your Android / WP8 / Windows computer and your Libratone speaker only need to be connected to the same network. Use your home WiFi or use Libratone PlayDirect™.

• Android devices. Simply use the built in DLNA ready music app on your device. From the app - browse the network for DLNA compatible devices and find your Libratone speaker. Once selected - just play your speaker.
• • If your built in music app isn't DLNA ready - go search for another DLNA ready music app - e.g. 2player, BubbleUPnP, UPnPlay or Samsung AllShare Play
  • Best Android performance with Android version JellyBean 4.1/4.2.
  • Download Libratone app for Android from Google play here. Use Libratone app for Wi-Fi setup, Voicing, FullRoom Optimization and Volume control (AUX speaker setup).
• Windows Phone 8 (WP8) Several phones are DLNA ready. No DLNA ready apps released yet. Beta version of Play To available for Nokia on the NokiaBetaLabs website.
• Computers - DLNA is allowing non-AirPlay compatible applications like Windows Media Player 11 and 12 to stream music to your Libratone speaker through "Play To". Try "Play To" on you music library from Windows Explorer.

For information on how to create or troubleshoot a specific DLNA setup on your Android/Windows device - please consult the user manual for your specific device.
