The simple, powerful SoundTouch™ app

The free SoundTouch™ app from Bose® is the key. It gives you easy control of music using your smartphone, tablet, or even a computer. The app lets you choose from music services like Pandora, Spotify®, and Deezer Premium, for a practically unlimited amount of online music (subscription required for Spotify and Deezer). Or, listen to thousands of free Internet radio stations from around the world with iHeartRadio. You can use the app to save stations and playlists as presets for instant recall with the included remote, or simply by using the control buttons on top of the speaker.

Play everywhere

The SoundTouch™ wireless adapter also lets your compatible Bose® Lifestyle® or CineMate® system connect to other SoundTouch™ systems to give you convenient whole-house audio. In "Play Everywhere" mode, your linked systems can play the same music simultaneously — great for parties. Or, each system can play independently, giving you different music in different rooms.

Q
I'm using a 801.11ac router and I have trouble connecting it. The specs this product calls for 801.11b/g. Is that why I can't connect it?
