If you own a multi-room music system then you have a large number of options of configuring your system. By nature distributing music within a house has another level of complexity compared to setting up a set of wireless speakers. You have to deal with a series of different audio sources. Each of these sources is streamed to different audio zones. These zones must be set up and managed. In this short essay, I’ll review some options for controlling your music system.
If you own a music system from sonos then chances are that you own the proprietary remote control. This remote control is one convenient way to set up and manage zones. All components of your system are listed on the touch screen. You can add or drop speakers from a zone or rearrange whole zones. However, this remote control is quite expensive.
Another option is to download an app and install it on your PC. If you don’t use your PC frequently then you’ll be glad to know that there are apps available that run on portable devices such as Apple’s iPhone, iPad and Android phones. These apps are free and thus can save you some money especially if you like to have several remote controls.
