Is this an online app (Pandora, iHeart, etc) streaming system only, or would I also be able to use my mp3s?

You can use your MP3s the best way is to hook up an external hard drive with all your music directly to the Bose system so all your files will be streaming right through the Bose system already

No can use your computer, tablet, and/or phone as long as it is on the same wifi network. In other words, yes you can use your MP3s.

As long as you know the URL for the MP3 format or the internet radio station, you can play those. You will need to register that URL through the "Lounge" (now called "Pure Connect"). Some of my favorites are the last news bulletin of certain radio stations. Pretty cool!

No, audio streaming only. Formats and providers are changing so fast that you'd be best off getting a roku/amazon/google streaming stick or device anyway.

yes, I found this unit very easy to set up on my home network, downloaded the app on my kindle and my android phone and can play pandora, sirius, Iheart, or any other net source of audio.

Certainly, you can. I have been streaming Pandora since the day I bought this wonderful speaker and it works like a charm.

No, I dont think it can play any mp3 stream. It looks for the channel rather than a web address.david

No. This only plays streaming media from the Internet. ( music or videos ).

I find it works well with videos, however I have no first hand knowledge of its use with Pandora nor Spotify. The wifi antenna is very good though, and has no problem with streaming files, or apps. That is to say as long as your wifi signal is fairly strong.

I don't know if it will access mp3s in amazon because I don't use amazon streaming services. However, it does have amazon as one of the programming choices. So I assume that it will.

Yes, you can, as long as you get an appropriate app from the Play Store. We are using Allstream and having zero issues. the app costs about $6, but you can use it with all of your speakers.

No, unfortunately it isn't. You can play the music you have stored on your iPhone or Android, from media servers, Pandora and preset radio stations (btw, lots of them and good ones). You cannot play Beats Music and other online music providers

I am not usign Pandora neither Spotify but i do use Rdio (is the same). The receiver is compatible with Airplay so the only thing you need is to have your tablet of phone to the same network. The downside is that you are not able to airplay from a device different than a Mac. However i am considering that Mac is far more reliable. I am capable to stream without troubles

I use Spotify and it has an airplay icon. Then it connects to the Minx via airplay. If Pandora has the same airplay symbol, it will work. It's a shame you can connect to only 1 device rather than several with ITunes.

I downloaded the Amazon Music player (I have it on my PC also), my music library and playlists were there. Plays great on my Trio which I am very much in love with. It is blue tooth connected to a small speaker I keep in my car. No more cd burning or cds that skip, etc. I am searching for an app that will play my music without an internet connection.

If Rhapsody is an app that you stream music from you sure can. Because not only do I listen to music i downloaded on my phone but I also listen to music streaming from Pandora as well as iheartradio and even Youtube as well. Its just so flexible with options. I love this speaker, I have no regrets what so ever.

No, i personally used my android phone to listen to stored music and used the pandora station through it. It has an auxillary outlet so anything through that should suffice.
