What's it for?
Communicating (e.g., playing music) via bluetooth from a PC to another bluetooth enabled device, like headphones or a wireless speaker.
My not-so-easy problem was as follows:
We bought a Samsung Shape M7 wireless speaker to play itunes music in the living room.
We hooked it up to an iPad over our home network using a free Samsung app called multiroom. It worked fine.
But the vast majority of itunes music was on the PC - a Toshiba satellite, non-bluetooth, with Windows Vista.
How do we make the PC bluetooth compatible so it will play itunes songs on the speaker (bluetooth-enabled)?
The solution - Use a DONGLE. Tiny, but potent. Plug it into a USB port on the PC.
Once I ordered it from Amazon, updated Vista for Service Pack 2, and paired the PC with the speaker, I finally got it to work.
Emphasis on the word finally!
