Turn any Windows PC into a synchronized multi-room audio player.
WindowsSpin connects your Windows computer to Music Assistant, allowing you to play music throughout your home in perfect sync. Whether you have an old laptop, a home theater PC, or a desktop workstation, WindowsSpin transforms it into part of your whole-home audio system.

The Problem: You want to play music on multiple devices throughout your home, but audio from different speakers reaches your ears at different times—creating an annoying echo effect as you move between rooms.
The Solution: WindowsSpin uses precision clock synchronization to ensure audio plays at exactly the same moment on all connected players. Walk from your living room to your kitchen and the music follows you seamlessly—no delays, no echoes, just continuous audio.

That's it!
