Synchronized audio playback over WIFI and Ethernet : A proof of concept multi-room audio playback system

Abstract: This thesis aims to develop an audio playback system, which can perform synchronized audio playback on multiple devices. Two different approaches for developing the system has been investigated, one using an already existing off the self product, and the other using an open source framework. The system developed is a proof-of-concept that can perform synchronized playback five devices, connected by Wi-Fi or Ethernet. The system developed can use Bluetooth devices or common media players as the sound source for the system.
