About Speaker Discover
Have a set of AirPlay speakers at home? Do you want to know more about your wireless speakers? The Speaker Discover is the best choice for you. It is a small and useful utility that lets you see detailed information about your speaker device from version and firmware informations to supported AirPlay protocols and formats and more.
WHAT IS AIRPLAY
AirPlay is a proprietary protocol stack developed by Apple Inc. that allows wireless streaming between devices of audio, video, device screens, and photos, together with related metadata. Originally implemented only in Apple's software and devices, it was called AirTunes and used for audio only. AirPlay receiver devices include AirPort Express, Apple TV, and third party speakers such as Libratone, Bose, Yamaha, Philips, Marantz, Bowers & Wilkins, Pioneer, Sony, and Denon.
