It is not only a service release, but Electrocompaniet AS is talking about a major update around the availability of the EC PLAY App 1.6, which on the one hand brings support for numerous additional languages, but in particular one or two new features.

EC PLAY App is the central remote app for the streaming solutions of the Norwegian high-end hi-fi manufacturer Electrocompaniet AS. In addition to the streaming solutions of the Electrocompaniet Classic Line, it also controls the systems of the EC Living Series, the product line that the Norwegians offer as extremely elegant lifestyle solutions.

For both product lines, the EC PLAY app promises intuitive control of all streaming functions. You can use it to access your own content on the network as well as various online streaming offers.

Now this app is available in its latest version, as EC PLAY App 1.6. According to the manufacturer, this is a major update that brings with it a host of significant new features. Some of them are obvious, others love in disguise, but represent an essential basis for future innovations.

EC PLAY App 1.6 in new languages

Probably the most obvious innovation of the EC PLAY App 1.6 is that it is now available in numerous languages. Turkish, Vietnamese, Chinese, Hungarian, Russian, Portuguese, Spanish, Norwegian, Dutch, and yes, the app is now also available in German.

New Landscape Mode for Tablets

Of course, this innovation applies to tablets with Apple iOS as well as Google Android.

Something else is coming…

Not yet, at least, because as the developers state, the new version of the app is the basis for some future improvements and extensions, about which they do not want to reveal anything for the time being. As an open secret, however, the support of TIDAL Connect can be mentioned in passing, as well as the fact that this will be available very, very soon, we won’t give too much away…
