Unfortunately we were unable to test any of these out as the 2 test phones failed to accomplish this. You choose the “Web” icon in th app to launch an internal browser within the app that leads you to a homepage of sorts that links to the online sources. This is not based on the separate apps, but by using the EZCast app itself. One of the features it boasts about, is the addition of being able to stream certain online services such as MTV, YouTube, Vimeo and more. On top of that, there is also a microSD slot for loading up a card with music as well. In our tests, we tested using both MP3 and FLAC with success, and it sounded great. It supports multiple audio formats, including AAC, MP3, WAV, FLAC and APE. It also offers a USB port on the back so that you can connect a drive to it with media on it. Music can be streamed to it regardless of if you are connected to your actual network or the device’s personal network (it just won’t have internet access if you don’t add it to your router). You are already ready to stream music locally. Now on your mobile device, bounce from the device’s WiFi network to your router’s network and you will then find it as a device on the network.

Under the WiFi sections, you will choose your actual (router) network and enter your network password/phrase so that it can connect as a device.

Once the app is installed and the SoundMate it is fully powered, you connect to its WiFi network via your mobile device, access the device using the EZCast app and choose “AirSetup” (which is not a settings screen for AirPlay–it’s just what they refer to their settings screen as).

You would then download the EZCast app to your mobile device.The login details are found on the bottom side of the device. Once you plug it in, it automatically begins to broadcast it’s own network.

For example, in Windows 8 or 10, it is as easy as right clicking on an MP3 and choosing the SoundMate in “Play-to” menu (done).Īdding the new SoundMate to your network is extremely simple: Just like the M2, you are able to use Airplay, DLNA and Play To features of your mobile devices to directly send music to the device once it has been added to your network.

All of this which can be toyed with using the app “EZCast”, allowing you to choose what you are sending to it, adjust its settings, add it to your network and easily update its firmware. The WM201 is what you get when you combine the features of the M2 model, online media sources such as internet radio and cloud storage, 5.1 support and easy firmware updates. It wound up working very well, and now Uyesee has sent us the successor to the series, the SoundMate WM201. Last year we brought you a detailed review of the SoundMate M2, a WiFi music receiver that allows you to stream music from devices on your network (ie phones, tablets, laptops, etc) to any stereo system in your house that supports RCA, line-in or optical.
