A method and system for directing content to a plurality of devices provide one of the devices as a controller, form a network between the controller and other devices of the plurality of devices, and send from the controller to the other devices a play request for the content. The play request includes a content source address and a content type. The other devices can locate a content source using the content source address and receive the content. The controller and the other devices can then play the received content. In this manner, a network of devices can be formed for the purpose of sharing or directing content in real-time. The other devices can be directed to receive the content directly from the content source or through the controller. Alternatively, the controller can be the content source. The ease and efficiency in which content is shared is thus significantly increased.
