Don't know if anyone else has the iEast soundstream wireless receiver but I got this as a cheap option to try and locally stream my itunes library from my pc to my hifi and control it on my android phone, thus avoiding having to spend hundreds on Sonos connect or other expensive solution.
So far this is where I'm at: I've got the iEast soundstream connected to my hifi and my home router and I've downloaded the app. In itunes I can see the soundstream by clicking the airplay icon and I can even stream to it from my pc. On the app on my phone, however, I can see nothing in "my music", no folders, no itunes, zilch. There is a menu which shows me a list of (pretty comprehensive) streaming services but nothing showing me how to find locally stored music. When I play a track from itunes on the pc, it will even show up what's playing on the app on my phone. I can pause and play the track from the phone but there is quite a delay. But... the thing I really want to do is find and control my music from the phone.
Can anyone help or suggest a solution if you're not familiar with the product? (This is probably the case as I found it on Amazon being one of the better reviewed devices doing the job of wireless receiver.) The packaging, fit and finish of the device are promising so I hope something can be sorted out before I have to click return.
