Wireless Music Controller
A wireless music controller lets you enjoy your favorite music without having to get up from your chair. It’s a tool that makes it just as easy to enjoy your choice of digital music as it is to buy it.
The Pros and Cons of Digital Music
Digital music is becoming increasingly popular because it’s convenient and allows you to enjoy tunes instantly after buying them. You don’t even need to leave the comfort of your home. All you have to do is buy the music of your choice and download it to your computer.
The downside of digital music is that often you’re either forced to listen to it through the not-so-great speakers of your laptop or desktop computer, or you have to tether your MP3 player or iPod to a your stereo to enjoy your tunes with better sound.
You, like most consumers, probably want better. And now you can get better.
Manufacturer’s are listening and have created equipment like wireless music controllers and wireless music systems that let you blast your favorite music from your home stereo speakers.
With the right system, a wireless music controller gives you instant access to music files stored on your computer and millions of stations and songs. From the palm of your hand and in any area of your house you’ll be able to play all the music you want. All you have to do is pick a song and touch play.
Benefits of a Wireless Music Controller
Most wireless stereo systems require a Wi-Fi Internet connection and a smart phone. All you have to do is install a free app on your smart phone and it becomes a wireless music controller that provides instant access to all your music providers at your fingertips.
Basically, the app turns any phone in a remote. The nice thing about a phone-turned-remote is that everyone in your household who has a smart phone can have their own personal remote. All they have to do is install the app.
Connecting a Wireless Music Controller
The first step to connecting your wireless music controller is to purchase a wireless stereo system. One of the more affordable ones is the Orb MP-1.
With the Orb MP-1 you install free software on you Mac or PC. The software indexes all your media files and streams the media to your futuristic Orb device.
The device looks like a miniature space ship or a remarkably thin hockey puck, depending on your viewpoint. It doesn’t take up a lot of space and can be attached to any stereo in your home, including the portable radio by your pool.
Each Orb device needs to be configured by connecting it to your computer’s USB port. Don’t worry, the process isn’t difficult. Users say that the process of setting up the system takes less than 15 minutes including connecting and setting up the wireless music controller.
The set-up wizard then lets you give each device a friendly name like “living room stereo” or “pool radio.”
Once the software is downloaded and the devices configured, you can connect your wireless music controller.
This isn’t complicated. All you have to do for this is download and install the Orb Controller app for your Android or iPhone smart phone.
Use a Wireless Controller
After downloading the app, you’ll have instant access to your playlist and Internet radio stations. All you have to do is use the touch interface on your phone to choose what you want to listen to and the Orb device you want it to play on.
