I wish to stream music via wifi and play it on a blue tooth connected speaker. A review states using WIFI and blue tooth together is no good? True?

WiFi with bluetooth works fine. I commonly use the internet to stream music and videos while using bluetooth mouse and keyboard.

Thanks for your question. You should be able to stream anything you play to it via bluetooth. It's a wonderful sounding unit.

This device does not have build-in app but you if you have an GP or AC app on your mobile/tablet, it should be able to play to this via WiFi connection. I have this and the Sony wireless speakers. I find myself using the Sony speakers 95% of the time since it works with both iOS and Android plus build-in app like slacker, Pandora, etc., and support multi-speakers mode if you have more than one, like a "party mode".

Yes, that's the general idea. You plug the OUTPUT from the adapter into the INPUT of your speakers. Pull out the adapter from the socket and put it back in to enter pairing mode, pair with your device and you're all set! Note that the adapter also has a USB plug so you can charge your device while you're streaming. I have one of these connected to a nice table radio and I use it to stream from my phone and my daughter uses it to stream from her laptop. Recommended!

are your wireless speakers bluetooth enabled or 2.4 or some other Ghz range? do you currently use a wireless adapter? as long as your speakers are compatible with the adapter, it should be good to do. Did the speakers come with an adapter? look at your specs for the speaker to verify compatibility.

So chapman, I don't need the Bluetooth thing to play music wirelessly. How did You get the ipad to play music to the receiver via wifi. Does the receiver comes out as a option in the ipad to play music wirelessly ? And how about the iPhone app does it work with the wifi or do I need to buy the Bluetooth adapter?

Blue tooth capability is necessary to connect your program source to the speakers wirelessly. You could also use a cable (wire) too, however. Wi-fi is relevant only for getting programming to your phone, iPad, or computer. You could also use a cable for that. You could also hook up a standard radio, cd player, or other source to the speakers via cable.

Yes you can. You can also play it wired when bluetooth is connected to something else that's not in use (I haven't tried sending sound from both).

As long as it has a clear path between the receiver and the bluetooth speaker, you shouldn't have a problem. Depending on the quality of your speakers, it may experience a bit of lag in the transmission of the music, (i.e. your playlist is on the next song before the previous song has finished playing audibly), which is easily fixed by turning off your speaker and turning it back on.

No... you'll have to look up different types of speakers for that. Usually that kind uses Bluetooth to connect to your phone, but then needs to use WiFi for all the speakers to communicate with one another.

I love mine the sound is great and it has a good bass, it is very easy to hook up and it has Bluetooth so I think you should be able to have 2 smartphones using it at a time. If you can run more then one computer on your Bluetooth/Wi-Fi modem then I think you should be able to do the same with this speaker but I have never tried it. (I tried other speaker and this one sounds the best for me)

You do not have to use wifi. The speaker has an aux line-in that you can plug your iPod into so you can play music directly through the speaker.

i listen to music through the bluetooth. its called a2dp streaming so it should work. most newer abdroid and iphones support that.

It'll connect to any Bluetooth device. I just don't like the sound. Unless you REALLY need wireless, I don't recommend this speaker. Think about it, MP3 is already compressed, Bluetooth transmission further degrades signal, plus the quality of the speakers aren't that good to begin with (it's only one-way)

That isn't correct. The speakers aren't limited. Your bluetooth device is limited to connect to one device at once. There are apps for devices to work around this.

It doesn't work that way as far as I know. It is really mean to plug into your A/V receiver and connect to a bluetooth device (iPhone, tablet etc) and play the audio from that device over your speaker system. I think you're looking for a wireless headphone adapter or system.

I am assuming that you want one device to drive more than one speaker. That is typically not a function of the speaker, but of the device. In my experience, most devices have only one "port" available for use as an audio speaker (my experience is with Apple products: iPod Touch, iPhone, iPad, Macbook Air). I have heard of devices that can broadcast to multiple bluetooth speakers, but the names do not come to mind. Certainly they wouldn't be able to be used as stereo speakers, as the same signal would be sent to both. There might be some possibilities for speakers that can also act as a phone speaker because they would have both input and output capabilities, but the Bem does not. More expensive music streaming systems, such as Sonos, tend to use WiFi and not Bluetooth to transmit audio, mainly because Bluetooth does not have the bandwidth or strength of signal to go from room to room. In summary, if the device supports it, the audio signal could be sent to multiple Bems, but that is not a function of the speaker.
