Template:Info:Songcast Intro

Songcast is the method of transport for streaming STEREO audio data between a Songcast sender, (Linn DS/DSM, Songcast App), and Songcast receivers, (other Linn DS/DSM players listening to that sender DS - multiroom operation.)

The Songcast stream contains the raw unprocessed music stream, the metadata information for the Music playing and timing information.

• The raw music data is the same data as received by the sending Linn DS. This maintains the same music stream is processed by ALL Linn DS players, (sender and receivers).
  
  • As this Songcast music stream is untouched this leaves the receiving Linn DS/DSM to do its own volume control.
  • Volume, Space Optimisation and Exakt processing, if used, are all performed as a final process to minimise any digital processing.

• The timing information is used to ensure that the Linn DS/DSM players are in sync with the music sender.
