DLNA

The Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) serves as the closest alternative to Apple’s Airplay. Samsung has added this feature to their AllShare app which sometimes results into perplexity among the users. For users’ knowledge, they are both the same. Similar to the AirPlay, all the devices within a common DLNA network can identify and detect each other. Many people are not yet familiar with DLNA and its usage, which makes it not very popular among the different wireless music sharing apps. Also, most users do not have a stereo or speaker set compatible with it. If you belong to this category, you may try other alternatives.

Volume too can be adjusted separately.

Nexus Q

This is another Wi-Fi solution to sending music over to speakers for Android users. It’s got an integrated amplifier which can provide power supply to speakers. Priced at $300, this is not as good as the Sonos, but with its music visualizing capabilities, the Nexus Q cannot be looked down upon as an incompetent device.
