I've just get the Air Zeppelin in an apple retail store in italy.
the packaging and the product are amazing but the setup and lackness of informations are totally awful.
You have to connect your pc/mac (I've got a macbook) to the device with a ethernet cable, after that you have to put the IP adress of the device in a browser and pair the device with your home wifi network (I tought the AZ could work separately from you home network). then the setup is complete; pretty simple isn't it?
the problem is that while you try to use the AirPlay for iTunes (even with iPhone streaming) sometimes the mac/pc (and iphone) desn't recognize the wifi of the zeppelin and the icon of AirPlay doesn't show..... and even when it shows (and is really rare) there is no way to let the zeppelin play music for more than 1 second and then it stops.
I've tried to reset the device and do the procedure again, several times but with no better results.
do you know what kind of mistake could I've done?
and again....... to play the music while a device (iphone in this case) is ON the dock what do I have to do? just manually choose a song in the device and play? because when I do this the sound will come out from the iPhone.
please answer because is very difficult to find any kind of support from B&W.
and apple doesn't know nothing about this....
I've just spent 599 euros (not $ unfortunately) and I'm very worried
thanks to anyone who will try to figure it out!
