Youtube and Netflix vs Airplay

Following from my recent rants about the Google Music, and how strong Apple Airplay is, it is really encouraging to see that Youtube and Netflix decided to take on the challenge.

Yesterday, there is a really good post on the details and the technical specifications (uPnP, DLNA, etc etc) about this.

But as a user it is brilliant news that the key players are showing a key interest in making life easier for us all.

I firmly believe that the more competition there is the better tools and utilities we will get.

Google Play music sucks

I have never been so disappointed with the Google Music stuff recently. It's discussed as a serious alternative to Apple's iTunes but I don't think it is anywhere near good enough.

It does not easily snychronise across mobile devices as it requires a PC in the loop.

I would mark this as a 3 out of 10.

What also amazed me with Apple is the AirPlay function that I discovered through my Amp. And, how easily  an iPhone seems to pick it up.

Yet, I had to spend a whole day trying to hook up my Android device to it so that I can play the music through the surround sound (bit like Sonos wireless utility).
