This is a great way to create playlists for different times of the day, or for specific clients you know prefer certain styles of music.



Connecting Your Player To A Sound System. To play your music using an external sound system you will need a connection to an amplifier and speakers. You can use either the 1/4 inch jack (headphones out) or bluetooth. If you have a bluetooth connected speaker system you can enable your music to be transmitted to that device by piaring your device to a sound system. Settings will vary between different devices. Once paired, the music will play on your bluetooth sound system. Your phone may have options for retaining call related audio on your phone rather than also transmitting them as well (such as ring tone). Alternatively, you can switch off your mobile network connection whilst you are using your device to play music in your business.
