I want to send music to my living room amp and big speakers. How easy is it to switch transmission between Windows laptop and Android phone?

I solved the problem by buying two RCAy-connectors from Radio Shack. Both right terminals (one from Nyrius and rhe other-wired-from laptop). Did the same with left terminal--both plugged into rca inputs on the amp. Works like a charm. The Nyrius is an outstanding product.

You simply turn off the bluetooth of the one, and turn on the other. Which one is on, will be transmitting music files to Nyrius Songo.

If both, android phone and laptop, are bluetooth capable, then just disconnect bluetooth from one before connecting other.

You'll have to disconnect one device and connect the other. This unit can only connect with one device at a time.

Yes, I have used this on two different Android phones and a Windows phone via Bluetooth. You can use a male/male auxiliary cable and connect it to virtually any device that plays music.

If you mean from a laptop with 3.5mm headphone jack into a stereo receiver, then the answer is yes. I connected my Mediabridge cable from my laptop and mp3 player into the back RCA jacks of my stereo receiver and then played music over my home speakers. It worked fine.

There is a third party software called TuneBlade that I use. It will capture the audio output of the windows computer and transmit it to any airplay device. This device only seems to work with airplay wifi signals.

I have done that so I could transfer music from one device to another. You can't play it from there like an MP3 device. But you could have it pluged into a computer or other device and play off it.

1.) This can be accomplished through an A/V switcher (usually used for video game consoles). You just wouldn't need to use the video portion. 2.) There are a few ways to do this. If your PC has both a Line Out and Speaker Out, you can use both of those outputs to accomplish this with no extra gear for switching. Send the line out to the 5.1 receiver, and the speaker out to the desktop stereo setup. 2a.) IF there is no line out, or you can't figure this setup out, you should be able to use a switcher like I mentioned above, but in the reverse fashion. This means the output from your Speaker Out would go into the OUTPUT of the switcher. Then the INPUTS of the switcher lead to the inputs of your devices. From what I understand, there is no mechanism in the switchers that prevent them from working in this manner. 2b.) You can buy a splitter plug (stereo --&gt; 2x stereo), commonly known as a Y plug. Then turn off the device you don't want audio to come from. Word of warning regarding Y connectors: These can only be used to split a signal into two outputs, and CANNOT take two signals and merge them into one effectively. Think of a fork in a road. If you have one stream of traffic (for this purpose it is a one way street) splitting into two, you don't need any traffic signs for stopping anyone, as they will simply split and not collide with another vehicle. BUT if you have two streams of traffic going into one stream, you can only allow one stream to be open at a time, or else vehicles will collide.

I do not see how you could do that. The Jabra play is a B/T receiver and then is outputs through the 3.5mm jack. If your laptop could receive audio in and them output through its speakers, I guess you could do it that way.

I have not actually tried this, I just plug my phone into the aux port, but AFAIK it should work fine. Also, modern android phones that use MTP can't interface with the stereo via the usb port but older androids can, and iphones work pretty well with it.

Yes, switching between them can easily be done by simply hitting the answer button. If you turn something on one system, while listening to the other, it will automatically switch over to the system you just turned on if it is playing something with sound.

Hi Joel, I was looking to do the same thing and the My Cloud has been a great solution. Would recommend that if you're going to move massive amounts of music to your My Cloud then you do it from a computer that has a Ethernet connection to your home network vice a wireless connection....it's way faster that way. Hope that helps

I have a Mac Mini and have wirelessly connected my iTunes library to two sets of speakers in my home. I bought a Creative Labs Sound Blaster system from Amazon. The transmitter fits into my computer (either a mini or a laptop) through a USB port. I then have two receivers plugged into two sound systems that receive my music and transmit it to my amplifiers/speakers. I love the setup since I can use my high quality speakers with my computer music library. If you have a fairly powerful router or cell phone signal booster, you may get some interference with the music transmission; I unplug my router to eliminate interference while listening to music.

I have not tried it. I just used Dropbox app to transfer all files to pc wirelessly. It's easier.

It comes with a sending unit that transmits to the speaker from the TV. We have music channels with DirecTV and were using those channels. We have since loaded songs from iTunes onto a laptop and bring that out to the speaker. There's a short wire that goes between the speaker and the laptop.

Yes just make sure you turn off the Bluetooth on the most recently connected device when switching

Robert...absolutely!!!!! I often cast Pandora from my laptop both wired and wirelessly to my Bluetooth enabled speakers... Buy it with confidence and install the appropriate software that will accompany the device in shipping. Enjoy! Chip

Yeah man, anything that can be transferred from your iPhones Bluetooth should be audible through the stereo, so heck even a newer laptop with BT can broadcast to the stereo. Endless possibilities.

Actually, this nifty little box is a Bluetooth RECEIVER, not a transmitter. The only audio connector on it is LINE OUT, which you would plug into your stereo system amplifier. That would permit you, for example, to play music on your smartphone (via Bluetooth) through your audio system. What you're looking for is a Bluetooth TRANSMITTER, which has a LINE IN connector, and broadcasts to your speakers, which contain Bluetooth receivers. Although I haven't tried it, the GadgetZone DBPower Portable Stereo Wireless Bluetooth Transmitter/Adapter Dongle here on Amazon looks like it might be a good choice. This is a little black box that plugs into a minijack (such as a headphone jack) and broadcasts to Bluetooth devices. It could be used for your application, but you might have to get an adapter to plug it into your old stereo system. Note that most devices (probably all) like this don't connect to speaker terminals -- they have to receive "line level" signals like those from an "audio out" jack or some headphone jacks. What you want to do is really very easy in principle, but your "old stereo" might not let you just plug and play without a little more fiddling. It depends on what kind of connections are available on the stereo.
