Samsung Multiroom App
Samsung Multiroom App
The Samsung Multiroom app makes it easy to control the speakers in any room of your house. Multiroom connects to your home Wi-Fi network, linking your compatible speakers together and giving you complete control over each. Play the same song throughout your home, play a different song in each room or use your speakers to create a stereo system, the Multiroom app unlocks a world of possibilities.
In general, users are not overly excited about the Samsung Multiroom App and many people are looking for alternative software solutions.

Spotify
Spotify
The Samsung speakers firmware run a Bonjour Service called Spotify Connect. This makes it possible for Spotify Premium to natively (direct) find and stream to the speaker over the network. Spotify Premium is required to use the option "WiFi or Network speakers".
Note:
The speakers can not be individual controlled from Spotify so only a single speaker or a group can be controlled.
You can use the native Spotify client
Airaudio can be a great add-on, see below
Deezer
Deezer
Samsung and Deezer initially partnered in selling the Multiroom speakers. When you purchased a speaker there was a special discount and Deezer has/had a strong integration in the Samsung Multiroom App. See : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deezer
The partnership is death and no work is done to improve the integration or even to fix issues. When an issue is reported, both companies point towards each other.
Samsung basically recreated a Deezer App in the Samsung Mutiroom App that is pretty poor if you compare this to the native Deezer App. You must use the Samsung App if you are on Deezer.
Issue and experience
Sept 2020 : Moosy switched from Deezer to Spotify
I'm sick and tired about this situation. Deezer support is not very cooperative and will not do any refund. I can not use the Samsung Multiroom app in combination with my Deezer subscription for more then 6 months now. Isn't it a great partnership between Deezer and Samsung.
april 2020 : Integration from the Multiroom app is broken. Samsung needs to fix this !!!
Service of both Samsung and Deezer is really non-existant. Too bad, I really liked Deezer, so did my wife and kids.
Deezer apps works
Samsung Multiroom App can not authenticate to Deezer and displays the following error
Notice - The ID or password is incorrect. Please check them and try again. - OK
"Internal Server Error" - "Authentication Error" username password - Deezer can't login - Deezer login issues - can't login - login error
PLEASE LET US KNOW IF THERE IS A REAL SOLUTION FOR THIS - moosylog@gmail.com

Third party integrations
Third party integrations
There are several third party tools that can be used in combination with the Samsung speakers.
Apps like Spotify can send a stream to an external network speaker. For proprietary features to control or group individual speakers you are
stuck with the Samsung Multiroom app. To our knowledge there is no user friendly mobile app available that can replace this functionality.
Spotify Premium has native support for 'external' speakers (no individual control over speakers) [+]
Think they use Apple Bonjour service or Spotify Connect as protocol.SmartThings - home automation [+]

AirMusic- see below

TV Apps
TV Apps
The Samsung TV and Speakers use similar REST based commands for control over the network.
You can use many tools that are available for Samsung TV's to (limited) control the speakers. You are limited to Mute, Vol+ and Vol-
Here is a list of Android Apps and Windows Apps
Some of these apps require you to enter an IP address of the device you want to control. Default your speakers are configured for DCHP (dynamic IP addresses).
Most modern routers have a capability to assign a static IP address to an MAC address. I use Fing on Android to monitor my devices and see my IP and MAC addresses.
Samsung TV remote can Mute Vol+ and Vol- on the speaker(s). There are more of these TV remove apps.with network features.
AirMusic (AirAudio) (Android)
AirMusic (AirAudio) (Android)
AirMusic is a great tool to stream music to your speakers. It does not require root to control the volume of your speakers so give it a try. Grouping of speakers still require the Samsung app ;-(

User experience:
Tim: dec 2020: Hi, AirAudio is now called AirMusic and it is back in the Google Play store. I just installed it on two Android 9 Samsung Galaxy tablets and it works great. We play nine WAM750's simultaneously without a lag. Here's the website https://www.airmusic.app/
I forgot to mention that I play the Deezer Android app all the time with no problems using this AirMusic app and it plays through all the speakers just fine.
Dumped the Bluetooth after I found AirAudio on your page. I can't thank you enough for posting it. So happy! The AirAudio app integrates with the native Samsung multiroom app via SmartView. By itself, AirAudio seems a little out of sync if you have a lot of speakers. I have 9 WAM 750s. The best thing is to open the native Samsung multiroom app FIRST, group the speakers so they sync natively in the Samsung app, THEN open AirAudio and that group you just named will show up as a speaker in the AirAudio app. The native Samsung app will display "SmartView" in the volume area after you open AirAudio. Turn on your group on in the AirAudio app and it will stream anything from your Android device perfectly synced. From AirAudio support: "AirAudio has no control over the audio-app (Spotify, Deezer etc.), furthermore it does not even know which app is producing the audio. AirAudio gets the audio mixed by the Android-system and not directly from Spotify/Deezer."
John: I have no technical skills but Deezer works fine for me using AirAudio and the Samsung Multiroom app synced to 9 WAM750's. I use the Deezer Android app on its own and send it through AirAudio which syncs up with the Multiroom app.
Android 10 issues (solved)
Android 10 issues (solved)
Reported as solved end of feb 2020
Feb 29, 2020 by Tim : I updated the Samsung MultiRoom Android app to the new version 4143 and so far it works fine on a rooted Tab A tablet while using it with AirAudio at the same time. It grouped nine WAM750s quickly with no drop outs.

Feb 28, 2020 1 by Michiel: version 4143 is released and should address the Android 10 crash issue
Jan 2020 by Ulises: I was playing around with the Samsung Multiroom app on Android 10 (which has not been updated yet) and I might have found a (probably risky) workaround. By going into advanced permissions, and allowing the app to modify system settings, I have been able to make the app work again. My guess is that the changes to storage access (scoped storage) in Android 10 broke the library browser. This needs validation, though, as I have only one Android 10 device. I hope this helps while (if ever) we get a proper update from Samsung.
Scoped Storage. In a nutshell, Scoped Storage prevents apps from having unrestricted access to the filesystem on the device.
Pixel 2XL - Jan 2020 Michiel reported that this did not work on his Pixel 2XL
Jan 2020 by Philip:
I found a different version for Android 10 which seems to work quite well with not too much fiddling around. Admittedly, I am using a OnePlus 6T which uses a slightly different version of Android called OxygenOS 10.3.0 so would like to hear what people think. I had to install via Aptoid as not currently in Play Store. It is called Samsung Multiroom 3.2.19 - link
Could possibly also be caused by webview.
