1 Title Pi Zero Powered AirPlay Speaker

2 Sector / Domain ICT (Information and Communication Technology)
3 Abstract Airplay is a wireless speaker that can be connected through Wi-Fi. Seamless
integration with the Apple ecosystem, high quality audio streaming, ease of use.
Airplay speaker is implemented using Raspberry pi zero. IDE used to implement are
LINUX and programming language used is Python. Airplay speaker provides an
easier way of achieving this system with added benefits and overcomes a few
deficiencies by providing a platform with simple and eased codes [1].
4 Introduction Overview: AirPlay speakers are audio devices compatible with Apple's proprietary
AirPlay protocol. They support wireless streaming of high-quality audio from Apple
devices such as iPhone, iPad and Mac. Users can control playback and volume
directly from their Apple devices. AirPlay supports multi-room audio for
simultaneous playback on multiple speakers. Some third-party speakers also have
AirPlay compatibility. The process is not just limited to audio, but also streaming
video and mirroring devices like Apple TV. Setting up AirPlay speakers requires
connecting them to a Wi-Fi network for seamless connectivity. AirPlay provides an
excellent user experience with an emphasis on ease of use. It is known for high-
quality audio transmission with lossless input support. When evaluating AirPlay
speakers, be sure to check for the latest updates and compatibility.
Description:
1.What is Airplay Speaker?
Airplay is a wireless speaker that connects via Wi-Fi, and can be used as an
assistant and speaker
2.Existing Technology: The current system which is among the popular products
sold in the market branded by the tech giants Apple Inc. is a
proprietary protocol This exiting product itself is very popular among people in the
market, and doesn’t need any help second moment of recognition in particular. But
the drawback there is it is very costly, and moreover it is only compatible with apple
supported speakers and Apple TV only [1].
