Airplay speakers are for Android devices as well

While Apple AirPlay is an Apple technology developed primarily for use with iOS devices and licensed accessories, it is not exclusive. Luckily there are plenty of smart people out there that makes magic happen on Airplay even for Android device owners.

There are a few Android app options that creates work-arounds to enable Airplay streaming, but Eye-C Taglist app is the first app that can stream music from an Android device to an Apple Airplay speaker or device, as well as any DLNA supported sound system. Now things are getting exciting.



The Eye-C Taglist app for Android and iOS devices allows you to create and share "taglists" out of music, photos, videos etc on YouTube, SoundCloud, Picasa, Facebook, or even their own music libraries.  It is perhaps no surprise that the team behind Eye-C has people onboard that used to work on iTunes team, as well as people used to develop for connected home systems.

I'm sure Apple is also happy about this, even though Android and Google is the arch-enemy, as having Android device owners craving Airplay enabled systems ensures that more audio and video manufacturers will start focusing on delivering Airplay enabled devices to support the streaming hungry public.

You can find out more about Eye-C Taglist app here, or download it for Android or iOS here.
