AmpMe's speaker-linking app adds access to your Spotify library
When AmpMe arrived in late 2015, the app that links phone and tablet speakers for a more robust audio setup only played tunes from SoundCloud. Shortly after launch, an update added the ability for users to access any locally stored music through the app. Now the company is piping in songs from the biggest streaming service of them all: Spotify.
AmpMe daisy-chains a bunch of phones to create a multi-speaker setup
Generally speaking, if you thought you might want to blast music while out and about, you'd invest in a Bluetooth speaker. If the sound quality there wasn't quite robust enough, you'd either get yourself a bigger speaker, or maybe even link together a few smaller ones. Either way, prepare to spend a few hundred dollars. Or not. A new app called AmpMe promises to achieve the same effect, except instead of asking you to shell out for new hardware, it daisy-chains an unlimited number of smartphones so that they stream the same song in sync, combining each handset's speaker into something... cacaphonous.
