Thrilled with this
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My wife wanted a set up to have music playing throughout the first floor of our house. I had an old receiver and speakers but I wasn't using. So I set them up discreetly throughout the house running the cables under the floor. I used this Google Chromecast audio to plug into the back of my receiver and connected it to Our Wi-Fi. Now we can stream audio from our iPhones throughout the entire house using the Google play app. There is a Google play manager you can install on your computer to mirror your iTunes library.

Pretty cool for the price
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I like the little gadget. I wish the range was longer, but I can't really complain because it is based on my WiFi. I need to invest in an outdoor antennae.

Missing functionality
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A year ago, when this product was announced, the promotions all stated that casting from multiple sources (multicast) would be supported with this product "by the end of the year". The clock is ticking.....

Nifty Device that is undervalued right now
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really like this little device and it's capabilities. Luckily, I just purchased new receivers that have Chromecast Audio built in but while I was using my older receiver this thing helped so much. Multi-room audio is pretty nice to have and works great. I just wish it was slightly more user friendly to create groups, but I dont think any company has that really nailed down right now. That's my only small complaint though. Not sure what I'm going to plug it into next, but it'll be some good listening when I do.

Functional but not perfect
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I used for my PC and initially expected it would broadcast all the audio content to my speaker. But it can only broadcast select pages from Chrome browser. Might be useful for some people, but not for me.
