The web address for the start page is http:/player.local.

Unfortunately, so far most versions of Android OS cannot resolve the local URL http://player.local to an IP address. That is pretty annoying since you have to find and enter the actual IP address of the streamer into the browser’s address bar, every time...

Here we explain how you can find the IP address.

Attach the power cable and turn on the streamer. You use the original on-off button.

It is worthwhile to connect the Network Music Streamer to Wi-Fi. When the streamer is connected to your home Wi-Fi network you can stream Spotify and do settings of the streamer itself like connect Bluetooth speakers. Many devices can share the streamer at the same time - share the music.
