Will this wirelessly put out all sounds coming out of my computer? no matter where they come from (different websites, etc)?
I wanted to know if this speaker just works for iTunes music or if it will play the sound to YouTube videos or other internet videos.

Answer
No, they dont. The speakers can wirelessly play songs from iTunes but not any other audio output from your computer like websites etc. They can also play audio from youtube videos from any of the apple devices like iPod, iPhone or iPod wirelessly but not from youtube played from a browser on your computer.
Hope this is helpful.- Answered by Nagari S

According to B&W's Facbook post "the back cover is made of glass fibre composite." and I believe the original backing was made of metal.

Thanks everyone, I found that a toslink to 3.5 optical jack makes this work beautifully. It cost AU $11 & saved me upgrading for no good reason. It is like I have a new Zepplin!

Answer
Unfortunately, you need to physically dock an iOS device, on the Zeppelin Air, and go to "Settings" and then "Speakers" and finally "Tone Control". You can change it from "Bass -3" to "Bass +1".
On the online manual, it does recommend to change your EQ to "off" or "flat" due to the amazing built-in DAC on the Zeppelin Air.- Answered by David N from San Diego

Best Answer
Yes. From user manual:
Auxiliary Input
If you wish to listen to an external analogue or
digital audio source, connect it to the Zeppelin Air
AUX input socket using either an analogue cable
terminated with a mini-jack plug or a digital cable
terminated with a mini-TosLink optical plug. Zeppelin
Air will automatically identify the type of cable used
and configure the AUX input socket appropriately.- Answered by Sergio A from Dos Hermanas

I would like to use the TIme Capsule as a server and stream music from it to B&W Zeppelin. Would it be possible and can I control control the playback and volume through my iPhone?
If this does not work, is there a way to use a Mac as a server for music, have Zeppelin to play it back and use iPhone to control it?- Asked by Svyatoslav S
