On 11 December, all Bluesound customers will be prompted to update their players to the latest version of BluOS, Bluesound’s proprietary hi-res multiroom platform. For customers with Bluesound’s newest Generation 2i players, the software update will enable AirPlay 2. Gen 2i users can then stream music services, podcasts, audiobooks, movies, games, YouTube audio, TV sound and stored music from their iPhone, iPad or Mac computer to any Bluesound Gen 2i player on the same WiFi network.
