I’m trying to figure how the music is played on a system with a couple of connected speakers through a WiFi network.

Let’s say in a first round that I want to play music on a single speaker. Can someone explain to me the way the stream is played to that particular speaker?

If I look at the system information (Windows application), one can read ‘Associated Product: IP address’ then the list of the respective products whith their own IP addresses including the one labelled ‘Associated Product’

Does that mean that the Associated Product is kinf of a master in the system? If yes what is its role and how it processes the requests from the user?

I ask those question because I experience for 2 months or so frequent interruption of the music and, when I try to re-play the channel, I get a message that the system is unable to connect to the source.

Any help would be appreciated.
