Gone are the days where your music collection was all on vinyl or CD. Now we have music in a variety of formats all stored on different devices such as laptops, MP3 players, and Tablets. Often listening to music on these devices is headphone-based and restricted to one room.

Now with a variety of Sony Products and Sony's unique Party Streaming feature you can stream your music to other speakers or audio players and to different rooms in the house. Music becomes more social again with Sony!

What is Party Streaming?

Imagine having your entire music collection on your computer but being able to play all that music through a high-quality sound speaker without the need to attach it with long, trailing wires. That, in essence is what Party Streaming is.

You can even play the same song on another speaker or Hi-Fi system in another room and control both at the same time! Now hosting a party is easy, just set up some speakers in each room and control all the music in the house with one device.

The kids like pop but you like rock? Simple, with the room-by-room mode you can play different songs on different speakers throughout the house. It also means you can control how loud your kids' music is!!

To make the most of Sony's unique Party Streaming feature Sony have announced two new products for the holiday season.
