ElDuderino Dec 2016 11:14pm, 5 Dec 2016 3,718 posts	Quote Pin ElDuderino Yep I'm sure you can work it from a laptop. Although I use my tablet and phone. You can link to iTunes from the app though. You can also setup Spotify, Apple Music, amazon and various others on the app
oi you Dec 2016 11:15pm, 5 Dec 2016 344 posts	Quote Pin oi you We've got 2 Play5s set up as a stereo pair in the lounge. Sound quality is very good, and streaming has been mostly pretty reliable. Mostly we stream from Tidal, but can also play music stored on my PC. I haven't used any other kit either, so can't offer a comparison.

It's been a bit of a disaster and consistently drops out. In other rooms tho we use Airport express with powered speakers and that's much more effective, plus the Airport express acts as a wifi booster. We liked Airport/Airplay because it's so simple to use from iTunes, and you can play different music in different rooms. The Airplay speakers tho are a bit hit and miss, this is the second one we've had that's not been all that great.
