Presto Music Integrates With Focal & Naim And Linn Streaming Platforms
PRESTO MUSIC JOINS FOCAL & NAIM AND LINN
Presto Music has announced integrations with both the Focal & Naim App and Linn App, bringing its specialist classical and jazz streaming service to compatible network music players from the two manufacturers.
The Focal & Naim integration was announced earlier in August, while the Linn integration has been announced today.
PRESTO MUSIC AND FOCAL & NAIM
The Focal & Naim integration provides direct access to Presto Music through Naim’s connected streaming products, including Mu-so wireless speaker systems, Uniti all-in-one players and dedicated streamers. The service provides access to Presto Music’s catalogue of classical and jazz recordings, with playback available in high-resolution quality.
Within the Focal & Naim App, Presto Music appears as an integrated streaming service, with access to playback information and controls. The dedicated Presto Music app remains the main environment for browsing, discovery, editorial content and library management. Users can also select a compatible Naim device from within the Presto Music app and transfer playback to it.
The integration was developed through collaboration between Presto Music and Naim Audio’s R&D department. It became available through firmware updates to Focal & Naim streamers from 6th August.
PRESTO MUSIC NOW AVAILABLE ON LINN
Presto Music is also being added to the Linn App, giving owners of Linn network music players and systems access to the service. Supported products mentioned in the announcement include the Majik and Selekt DSM all-in-one systems and the Klimax DSM.
The Linn integration will arrive through an upcoming over-the-air software update. Once installed, Presto Music can be enabled within the Linn App and is integrated into Linn’s own control software for browsing and playback. Linn owners who are new to Presto Music will also be able to sign up for an extended three-month free trial through a link in the app.
PRESTO MUSIC EXPANDS ITS STREAMING INTEGRATIONS
The two announcements add to Presto Music’s existing integrations with a range of streaming ecosystems and the Audirvāna audiophile playback platform. The service says the developments form part of its wider international expansion, following availability across Europe, North America and multiple Asian territories.
Presto Music was founded in 1986 and specialises in classical and jazz music, with its streaming service supported by an in-house editorial team. Its Fair Play initiative pays creators according to the number of seconds of music streamed rather than per track.
HiFi PiG says: Great news for classical and jazz fans!
