Audio streaming - Bluetooth vs Airplay?

edited May 2015 in General App Discussion

I want to stream all audio from my ipad to my hifi setup for listening to Spotify etc, but also to hear my synths: Korg Gadget playback etc (I know about the latency).
Debating over a Bluetooth receiver (lossy audio is okay for me in this case) or Airport Express using Airplay.

I'm confused: does Airplay play ALL audio from my iPad or do the apps need to be 'Airplay compatible'?
I believe Bluetooth works with most audio apps, correct?

Which of these two uses more battery power?

Comments

  • Do most synth apps even support audio streaming to an Airport Express through AirPlay?

  • If you Mixdown to iTunes, you can use AirPlay. I use AirPlay throughout my house, inside and out, and pretty much love it. Just don't turn on the microwave oven ;)

    @eustressor yeah, iTunes would work but I'm curious if I can stream audio from most apps directly?

    Did you also use Bluetooth for audio streaming? Curious about their difference in battery usage.

  • Hey dude,I use Bluetooth for spotify with no problem,and I use AirPlay to test my tracks from Auria on my TV sound system.i have not however exclusively tried synths on either though.hope this helps.

  • @R_2 Bluetooth for song playback is spotty for me, so I haven't tried sending audio with any music apps, sorry. My primary use of Bluetooth on iOS is a BlueBoard with an expression pedal used with JamUp Pro to switch presets and play Wah-Wah. That works pretty well ...

  • Thanks @LostBoy85 and @eustressor.

    I bought a €40 Bluetooth receiver with AAC support. Works and sounds perfect with Spotify, TuneIn Radio, Soundcloud, etc.

    With Synth apps it's hit and miss. Not sure why.

    Working: Gadget, iPolysix, Animoog, Nave, FM4, Wavegenerator, iSem, Sector, DXi.

    Not working (auto switchback to iPad speaker): Audiobus, Loopy HD, AudioShare, Final Touch, MasterRecord, iMini, iProphet, iVCS3, Terasynth, MitoSynth.

    I mainly bought it to listen to Spotify etc. So I'm fine. Battery usage seems minimal.
