Descent

As others have said, each release seems to create new problems and remove functionality. I enjoyed it much more 15+ years ago. It is almost worthless at this point and that makes me sad. It could work so well. It has worked so well in the past.

Dropped audio all the time

I run play if to Definitive technology speakers around the home. I run play fi on a dedicated iPad on a 5G network with a unique ssid just for audio… never fails.. always fails, audio stops and app shows it continues to play.. useless

Garbage

If the only way to stream hi res music is using this application find another product. Baffling that this is the state of music streaming in 2026 , you’re forced to sign into your music service through their terrible application which always shows a white screen leaving you stuck no matter what you do

Disappointed

This app is absolutely horrendous! Not sure who is rating it so high but gotta say I don’t believe them. Can’t get XM to work, drops Amazon Music after a song our two, same with the others. Wish I had a choice of another service. It’s terrible!

Nouvel achat Loewe mr3 basées sur Play-Fi

J’ai acheté deux speakers Loewe mr3 sur base de leur réputation sonore et esthétique et d’une promotion 1+1 en cours sur le site office. Avec l’idée première de servir de baffles surround arrière pour ma nouvelle TV Philips OLED910, ainsi que de possibilités bluetooth et AirPlay.

Multiples déceptions liées à la complexité Play-fi:

- le téléviseur supprime la sortie dédiée pour mon caisson de baffles câblé Bower & Wilkins si je fais une configuration home cinéma, il désactive également le traitement AI du son dans le cas d’une configuration Play-Fi.

- une fois un groupe HomeCinema créé sur le téléviseur il n’est plus,possible d’utiliser les speakers d’une autre manière sauf en supprimant complètement le setup Play-fi qui doit donc être refait ah prochain usage surround

- le mode « paire stéréo » fonctionne en play-fi mais pas en bluetooth et pas tout à fait en mode AirPlay (il faut connecter chaque baffle individuellement en AirPlay)

- Les sources musicales’Amazon Music et Apple Music conduisent toutes deux a des messages d’erreur à la lecture

- inquiétude pour la pérennité Play-Fi

J’hésite à renvoyer les baffles….
