MONTREAL--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AmpMe, the app that allows users to play music in perfect sync across multiple devices to create one powerful sound system, today launched ‘Offline Mode’ enabling anyone to create a party anywhere on the planet, regardless of Internet connectivity. The free app, available on iOS and Android, also incorporated a new predictive sync and auto-join feature to get the party started faster and easier.
Offline Mode works by creating a personal hotspot on the host phone that establishes a unique Wi-Fi network for the party that nearby AmpMe users can then join. Offline Mode plays any song stored on the host’s device via AmpMe’s ‘My Library’ tab, streaming their personal music library in perfect sync with friends.
Partygoers wishing to join the party simply join the Wi-Fi network, open the app and automatically join the party created by the host phone. This new ‘auto-join’ feature makes it easy to sync unlimited phones, seamlessly.
AmpMe also now allows phones to sync quickly and automatically with new ‘Predictive Sync’ technology. Predictive Sync was created using machine learning to analyze thousands of devices and hardware configurations. Based on those results, AmpMe is able to predict the ‘music offset’ of each device and can now be in perfect sync 95%+ of the time thereby skipping the original, manual syncing process via audio fingerprint. This means proximity to the host and background noise will no longer inhibit AmpMe users from joining the party.
“We want AmpMe to be for everyone, not just those lucky enough to have a fast or unlimited data Internet connection,” said AmpMe CEO Martin-Luc Archambault. “Nothing shuts down a party faster than waiting for the music to start, having it out of sync, or losing it altogether because of a weak signal. Offline Mode makes it possible for everyone to quickly and easily start a party using their own music on AmpMe whether you’re on a beach, on a limited data plan or living off the grid.”
