Quick-Start
SONGBIRD
INTERNET MUSIC STREAMER

Introduction
Thank you for choosing Songbird to access the world of audio entertain-
ment available from the Internet.
Songbird delivers high-resolution audio streams from some of the best
Internet music sources such as Qobuz, Tidal, and Spotify. As more ser-
vices become available, they will be added through updates. In addition,
thousands of Internet radio stations may be enjoyed via I-Heart Radio and
Tune-in.
Songbird can also access content from any DLNA or AirPlay compatible
device on your network, such as computers, servers, or network storage
devices. You can also play content directly from your phone or tablet using
AirPlay or Bluetooth. Although some content is free, you will be required
to purchase a subscription from the content supplier for specic premium
services or advanced features. Conguration of your DLNA device to allow
sharing may be required.
System Requirements
• A WiFi router supporting the 2.4GHz 802.11b/g bands.
• A Smartphone or Tablet connected to the WiFi network running iOS
9.0 or Android 6.0 or newer.
• An audio system or powered speaker that accepts line level analog
(Aux) or Optical (TOSLINK) digital input.
Setup
1. Download the Songbird app on iOS App Store for Apple devices,
or Google Play for Android.
2. Plug the OPTICAL OUT or AUX OUT from Songbird into the
appropriate input of your audio system. If you are using an An-
dover Model-One, we recommend using the OPTICAL OUT from
Songbird into the AUX 2 input on Model-One.
3. Connect Songbird to the 5V DC power adapter using the USB to
Mini USB cable. Plug the Power adapter into a wall outlet.
4. Switch your audio system to the input you used for Songbird and
choose a moderate volume in order to hear the voice prompts.
Repeatedly press the WPS/INPUT button briey until the LED
next to the button is white.
5. Press and hold the WPS/INPUT button for 5-7 seconds until the

LED ashes quickly. The voice prompt will say “ENTERING SET-
UP MODE”. If no action is taken after 35 Seconds, the LED will
ash slowly and the action will need to be repeated.
6. Open your Smartphone’s WiFi menu and look for “Songbird”, or
“XRD-Flybox”. Select this as your WiFi Network.
7. Open the Songbird app and when prompted choose “ADD
DEVICE”. Follow the prompts from within the app to complete
setup.
8. When setup is complete, your phone will return to your original
WiFi network settings and Songbird will be ready for use.
Basic Operation
Now that Songbird is set up and connected to your network, it will appear in
the DEVICE LIST page of the app.
1. Touch the device icon to enter the CONTROL PAGE for that
device.
2. Touch the upper left corner of the CONTROL PAGE to enter the
SOURCE PAGE. Your available sources will appear on this page.
Select your source and follow the instructions for that source.
3. For SPOTIFY, Songbird may be accessed directly from within the
Spotify app. Select “Devices Available”, then touch the Available
Devices icon on the lower left corner. Select the name you
choose during setup on the next page.
Bluetooth Playback
1. Select "Bluetooth" within the Songbird app, or press the WPS/Input
button on Songbird repeatedly until the LED turns Blue.
2. Go to the Bluetooth menu on your device and choose “Songbird” or
“XRD-Flybox”. The device will display “Connected” if successful. Once
connected you can play from your device as you would with any Blue-
tooth speaker. Some apps may require that you choose the desired
Bluetooth device from within the app as well.
If you subsequently wish to connect to a different device, you must rst
disconnect the original device from Songbird from within that device’s
menu.

Multi-Mode Playback
Two or more Songbirds or compatible devices may be linked for synchro-
nized play from Internet sources. Local sources such as Aux or Bluetooth
can also be linked to other Songbirds in multi-mode, but they will not be
time synchronized due to the inherent delay of WiFi.
Multi-mode linking instructions appear on the DEVICE LIST page within the
app. Pairing and synchronization may take up to 30 seconds, depending
on the speed of your local network. The number of devices in a group is
limited by the performance of your network, and will vary with individual
network utilization. Typical networks will support up to a maximum of 5
units.
Computer Playback
Once connected to your network, Songbird will appear as an output source
in the "Sound" menu of your computer’s operating system. Select it to
direct computer output to your audio system.
You may also play back les from your computer, or other network share,
using the Songbird app under "My Music>Home Music Share" on the
SOURCE PAGE. Your computer must be on, with your music library shared,
and DLNA compatible music server software active on your computer.
Advanced Features
We believe that you will nd the app intuitive and simple for most common
operations. Refer to the Andover Audio website at www.andoveraudio.com
