However, the app’s main issue is its DLNA support, or lack thereof. You had to stay on the apps screen to keep the tunes playing. Although I didn’t like that music wouldn’t play in the background whilst I navigated the app. Navigating around and playing music was fine. However, popular streaming apps like Spotify or Pandora don’t make the cut and will need to be streamed using alternative methods like AirPlay. The EZCast app is fairly intuitive and has plenty of options for media playback, from Dropbox to Internet Radio. The Air Setup option is also used to select equalizers, trigger OTA updates and select which audio output you want to use. Jump across to the app to complete the setup, connecting the device to your wireless network. To set up the device, open your smartphone’s wifi menu and connect to the Soundmate’s wifi hotspot. The device is entirely controlled via the EZMusic app which is available on both iOS and Android. Plug in your audio cable of choice (either optical or 3.5mm) and the power. Plugging in the causes it to boot, with verbal cues indicating booting progress. On the side of the device is a micro SD card slot.Ĭonnecting up the SoundMate WM201 is a piece of cake. From left to right, we have the micro USB power port, reset button, optical audio output, 3.5mm stereo output and a fullsize USB port. The back of the device houses essentially all of the ports. A small power LED on the front of the unit indicates when its on whilst a lovely brushed metal top plate finishes off the device. The WM201’s design is relatively minimalist. It feels lightweight, but definitely feels well made. Roughly the size of a hockey puck, the WM201 appears to be made entirely made of metal. The SoundMate WM201 is surprisingly small.

Use with caution, and comes with no warrentees: upgrade-1.1.01-A21(A.01).bin UPDATE – Added firmware downloaded (15-1-2015). While the SoC is the same, it comes with an audio card (analog and digital outputs), so the firmware I have created needs to be compiled with the additional driver/s in it. There is a great community with many mods available for that router. So there is another bonus, TP-Link TL-WR703N. The dmesg info shows some other interesting info: dmesg With the root password you can login to the telnet port and check it out. Ĭhange the username and the passwords are the same SoundMate/123456, root/ifconfig.

So I did a little poking around:ĭownloaded an older version of the firmware and did a string and hex dump to see if there was anything interesting in them. Also the web interface looked different from other images I had seen on the web. While this is ok, I need it to work with DLNA sources from other devices. After a short time messing with it, I could only get iTunes to detect it as an audio source. Purchased a couple of SoundMate M1’s for a great price to add wireless audio to area’s of our home.
