Streaming music to Blackfire compliant speakers

Play music simultaneously to multiple Blackfire compliant speakers from your phone.

Note: Only earlier HTC phone models support Blackfire.

Before you start, make sure your speakers are connected to your Wi‍-Fi network. Refer to the documentation that comes with your speakers to set up and connect them to your Wi‍-Fi network.

After connecting your speakers to your Wi‍-Fi network, open a music app on your phone.
Swipe up with three fingers on the screen.
Your phone then turns Wi‍-Fi on automatically and scans for media devices on your Wi‍-Fi network. You'll see the available speakers listed.
Tap the speaker you want to connect to.
In the music app, start playing music. You'll then hear the music play from the speaker you've selected.
To switch between speakers or to group them, swipe up the screen again with three fingers.
- To stream music to another speaker, just tap it.
- To group speakers so that music plays through them at the same time, tap the Group button next to a speaker name, select the other speakers you want to group it with, and then tap OK.

Renaming the speakers

You can rename your Blackfire compliant speakers in Settings.

Make sure the speakers are connected to your Wi‍-Fi network.
Depending on your phone model, do one of the following:
- From the Home screen, tap > Settings > HTC Connect.
- From the Home screen, tap > Settings > Device connection > HTC Connect.
Your phone then turns Wi‍-Fi on automatically and scans for media devices on your Wi‍-Fi network. You'll then see the available Blackfire speakers listed.
