Can it be controlled without a smartphone or smartphone app? I have a DLNA server running on a PC. Is this enough to make it play something?

This Sony Portable Bluetooth Speaker do support DLNA. Which means that you may control this device with a PC that has a DLNA function. -Ely

If I am playing any video on my PC .... I just do a screen to screen ( whatever is viewing on my PC will be showed on TV ... my Samasung Galaxy, my Laptop .... anything.... or you must change the device to DLNA I believe and it will stream just about anything !!

There is a beta web interface so I don't see why not. Most people would use the IOS or Android app to do the set up and to act as a remote control.

It will play from the server it does not stream to anything else,any other devices would have to access the server.Hope this helps.

I have an iPhone and I can control the volume either by the music play list on my phone or through the phone volume control. If you have degraded low bit rate music it will play low for that song. I need to clean up my music selection.

Yes, it does support DLNA. It can play from any UPnP server on your network, such as Windows Media Player.

Yes, it can browse/playback media from a DLNA server (personally I use Tversity).

I tried it on my friend's phone. It seems that it can NOT control the player.

Yes and yes. You can control this device remotely using an existing android device or a PC using an app called DroidMote server. Since this device is rooted, a one click installation is suffeicient to install this app on the stick. The server app is just $2.58 and is totally worth the money. Good job DroidMote guys. The client app is free to be installed on android device and PC. Once again a very good jobNo need to spend $30 upwards on a bluetooth keyboard and mouse when a $2.5 app is enough. ALso, the client app is more convenient as well

Dear friend, thank you for your question. No, there is not a way to play music from this player without a TV. A TV with HDMI or AV input ports is actually necessary. Hope that this will help. Keedox Customer Service Maria

I have a couple dozen of these controlled by my SmartPhone... but it's all dependent upon the Z-Wave controller you have in place. Do you have one of those yet? A good starter is one of the MiCasaVerde Vera units. There are several models. (also available here on Amazon). Then you'll also need some App interface. If you're using a Vera and an Android device, for instance, you'd use the app called "Home Buddy". But the short answer: "Yes, (assuming all else is in place) this can be controlled with your Smart Phone. : )

Nope. Its just a controller.You can plug-and-play it to a dedicated synthesizer, or a Mac, or iPad, or iPhone with garage band or lesser app.

Thanks for reply...So, that is in fact what I am trying to determine in these threads. If I have the USB wi-fi plug, then I should be able to use any computer (or wi-fi capable device) as my music 'server' - correct...?There should be no need to buy another router (Apple TV or Apple Airplay)...Getting very close to pulling trigger on this purchase so thanks for thots if you know.

Yes, if your home media server is on a NAS like Zyxel that supports DLNA then it will work vey well. You can stream video from it, also photos and music fine. Though the media server app on it that allows you to do that is pretty basic(even lacking in some areas like slideshows, etc.) I'm not sure if there is a better app on Google Play for this.

Yes, but it ia bugy, wont control full features and you will able to use only internet radio, no usb or sd data could be use. To do this you will need to use remite control!

I am unaware of any remote available for this device, though smartphones more or less remotely and wirelessly control it already via bluetooth. Those front buttons on the device can operate the music player controls on your smartphone and vice versa giving you two ways to control the music without wires.
