CasaTunes recently announced the multi-room audio industry's first Android app for easily controlling the music playing throughout the house.

"With the fast growth of Android devices, we felt that it was important to create a powerful, convenient and easy to use Android application to control our CasaTunes multi-room audio systems," said Kim Knapp, co-founder of CasaTunes. "With the Android app, homeowners who own one of the new Android based phones or tablets can select and play music in any room of the home where they have CasaTunes music, from anywhere in the home that is covered by their wireless network. Plus, they can create schedules for waking up to music, display and change the currently playing music and create CasaTunes Playlists."
