One reason I love working with Best Buy is the fact that I get to learn about and play around with some of the coolest gadgets out there. Most recently, I got to experience the Google Chromecast Audio. Have any of you tried this out yet? The Chromecast Audio is a device that enables you to play music on your speakers, new or old, wirelessly from your phone, laptop or tablet.

Here are 5 things to know about Google Chromecast Audio:

Google Chromecast Audio can be set up from any one of the following devices:
• Android phones or devices with Android Jelly Bean 4.1 or later;
• iPhone or iPad with iOS 7 or higher;
• PC with Windows 7 or later;
• Chromebook with Chrome OS 28 or later;
• Mac computers with Mac OS 10.7 and later.

2. You can use just your phone to play, pause, or change the volume from anywhere in the home. You can still text or call while streaming without interrupting what’s playing or draining your battery.

3. It is powered by the cloud which means that you stream over Wi-Fi instead of Bluetooth. Among the many advantages of using wifi over Bluetooth, this brings a higher sound quality to your music.
