Abstract:
A method, system and program product for synchronizing playing of a playlist on multiple audio devices. The method includes installing code on multiple audio devices connected to a network, the code being configured to synchronize playing of a playlist on the devices, and configuring, using the code, one device as a primary device for synchronizing playing of the files in the playlist on the other devices located in multiple locations. Further, the method includes communicating data corresponding to a current state of the primary device to each secondary device that is to play the playlist in synchronization with the primary device, synchronizing, using data communicated by the primary device, a current state of the secondary device that is to play the file, and playing the playlist on the secondary device, such that the secondary device plays the playlist at a same time in synchronization with the primary device.
