Party mode

The app is good.
But can you put an easier access to party mode.

MusicCast

Great app and music products!

Volume down button too close to slider

Can someone in the UI department stop putting volume up/down buttons so close to the edge of the slider? As soon as it’s the close the UI goes into slider mode when tapping and suddenly you’ve dropped audio to nil.

8 years of misery

I’ve been using this app for the past 8 yrs, at first just with my ysp 2700, I then decided to expand my system to a multi room set up and purchased 2 music cast 20 speakers to pair as stereo and connect with the sound bar, at first all went well everything connected set up two rooms one just for the sound bar for watching tv and one with all three connected for listening to music all good, then my sound bar started going out of sync with the speakers, then my music listening room settings vanished, for the last two years every time I want to connect it all together I have to start from scratch to pair everything which is also in itself a pain in the neck, although I love my Yamaha components this app and the connectivity issues really let them down.
