Manage volume, playback, device grouping (Multi-Room), and fine-tune your audio with dedicated EQ settings. • Mixtape Mode (NAS): Turn your local NAS folders into a retro music library. Curate your favorite collections into virtual tapes for true gapless playback. (Note: Mixtape is provided as an experimental bonus feature. It is currently unconfirmed if this specific protocol will remain functional after the Bose server shutdown. Please do not purchase the app solely for this feature.) Technical Details & Hardware Control: Supported hardware capabilities include: • General Systems: Rename speakers, adjust bass levels, modify group settings for Video Sync, and disable the auto-off timer on most SoundTouch devices. • SoundTouch 20 / 30 / Portable: Toggle the front LED clock display. • SoundTouch 300 & Lifestyle 550/600/650: Access advanced home theater settings. Adjust individual center channel and surround speaker volumes, manage HDMI-CEC settings, enable HDMI-In, assign the source button on your remote, and toggle Speaker Selection. (Note: Availability of specific hardware settings depends on your exact SoundTouch model and current firmware version.)
