Looking for an app that let's you play your favorite music on multiple AirPlay speakers at the same time? Then stop looking and download this app! Please check http://airplay-multiroom.whaale.com for more infos about multi room music systems... Visit http://help-st.whaale.com for help and a quick-start video. This App allows to check if (a) the music plays in sync on all AirPlay devices (all devices have the same latency) and (b) if there are any interruptions in the music (which means network bandwidth problems). If your speakers are not 100% in sync, there is also the possibility to adjust them. Please check out the app 'settings' in this case. Usually this is the case for AppleTVs when connected via HDMI to a TV set or AV-receiver. If everything works properly for you, you can use our "AirPlay Multiroom Player by WHAALE", a full featured multiroom audio player for AirPlay speakers. It supports more music sources like the iTunes library (others will follow). Please note: Due to limited processing capabilities on the iPhone 4 and iPod Touch 4 - they only have single-core processors - the app only works with max. 3 speakers simultaneously on these devices. On iPad 2, 3, 4, Air, mini and mini 2, the iPhone 4S/5/5S and the iPod Touch 5 up to 6 speakers will work simultaneously. Software-based AirPlay-implementations like Airfoil, XBMC, Reflector are currently NOT supported.
