Can anyone recommend a good free music streaming solution for the Desire Z? (i.e. to stream music from a PC server). I currently use Squeezebox Server, but I don't think there's a streaming solution for it so I'm looking for an alternative.
are you looking to do this over wifi or via 3G too?
Just wifi would be fine
you could try vlc stream and convert however the free version does not allow playlists. i dont think many free ones do to be honest.
have you used audiogalaxy? free & amazing.
here's the app download, but you need to get it configured on the PC side before installing the app if I remember right.
I stream in "high quality" mode via wwan or wlan without issue several hours a day.
Ive been using Amazon Cloud drive. Got 20 GB of storage.

(sry for thread hijack, op)
how is that working? I've heard that there have been some streaming issues over mobile networks with it - is it functioning as it should for you?

I also got my invite today. Ran through the "get started" on my computer but haven't messed with it on my epic yet.
Argh, waiting very anxiously for an invite! I need a way to stream my music library, but I don't really like how you have to upload every new song manually for Amazon MP3 Cloud Service.. Plus I've been having issues where Amazon uploads the same song multiple times for some reason. Hopefully Google will ease my pains! lol

You can use audiogalaxy to stream your music library. You do not need to upload anything. You install a audiogalaxy program on your PC, point the program to your music library, open up the audiogalaxy app on your Epic 4g and you can stream immediately over 3G, 4G, Wifi, or your desktop. Plus it scrobbles to Last FM. No uploading at all. The app is 100% free. I use it all the time.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.audiogalaxy&feature=search_result
Also there is no limit on how much you can stream. you have 40,000 songs, you can stream all 40,000
The only downside to this is that in order to stream, you must leave your computer with audiogalaxy background app on. Your computer is the cloud essentially. unlike Amazon and google's services where you are uploading it to their cloud locker.
To bad the Music streaming doesn't work on the Epic
At least not on EE03
Google Music app just got an update to 3.0.1.
get it on the Market.

I got invites on my 2 accounts today
tried using it... stopped getting sound on the first play and it gives me a google maps FC error. very beta
I personally use Amazon Cloud Player. It's been working well for me.
Looks like it's working on the stock epic.
I have all music that was on my home laptop listed and playing on my phone.
I haven't used all features yet but basic ones are OK.
Hey guys,
I was wondering if any of you use the app Audiogalaxy. It's a wonderful app for streaming your whole music collection from your computer to your phone. It works phenomenally (for the most part) and you are able to access as much of your music as you want without clogging up your sd card.
However, it appears that Audiogalaxy's server is down at this time. If anybody else out there uses this app, are you having issues too?
Also, they recently updated the app and I don't like the interface quite as much. They added some social networking features that are cool for some, but not my cup of tea. I was wondering if somebody still has the older (about 2 months ago) apk before the update.
EDIT: their servers are back online and all is good again. If you haven't given this app a try, it is well worth it. All 140 gigs of my music is now streamable from wherever I have a data connection. It does great on 3g.
Thanks all!
Cool bro ill check it out

I'm still waiting for my google music invite I'll check out subsonic too, thanks for the suggestion.
I was scared when all of the sudden audiogalaxy quit working on me. I got into work this morning wanting to play some music and I was left very disappointed. All is well again after lunch though
I just received my Google music beta invite so ill be checking that out when I get home. Do you have problems with your playlists not playing very randomly when set to random?

Install Twonky from the market. It works. Here i'll make it easy for you http://bit.ly/yg2XZY < Link to Android Market for Twonky.
You connect to your wi-fi router with the phone. You turn on your Playstation, make sure the PS3 is conencted to the same network either CAT5e or WiFi. You should see "twonky" servers in your main menu. Under the Pictures, Movies, Music icons.
and it will stream what ever is on your SD card to your PlayStation.
On my iPad I used an app called Air Video <http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/air-video-watch-your-videos/id306550020?mt=8> to stream videos from a hard drive on my wireless network. I would like to do the same on my Nexus 7. Does anyone know a good app to do that? I searched the Play store but wasn't able to find any.
You can try fs explorer if its a share drive.
BSPlayer

I tried ES File Explorer and that seems to work for Windows SMB network shares.
Just open the app, click the top left and Local to LAN. Then click the Search icon and it will find your computer on the network. Then just pick the file and open it with your preferred video player. The quality for my SD videos seems very blocky. I don't know if that's normal or not since I'm too lazy to put a file onto the internal memory to test, but it works. 1080p videos don't really play though and I haven't tried 720p. I might try some other apps later on.
ES File Explorer + MX Video Player. Works great. Rumor has it that an update to Solid Explorer is coming out soon that supports SMB share streaming.
I have tried a bunch of apps to stream from my Usb Hard Drive which is connected to my Netgear Router, but I have had no joy!
Anyone else using one of these routers and having any joy?

Yes I am using a netgear router also n600 to be exact. I have had no luck so far, I think I am missing some settings that I need to change still.

Plex worked for me.
http://www.plexapp.com/
Both of these stream from my WD Live TV Hub, not sure if they will work from a networked hard drive, probably will as long as there is some kind of DLNA/UPNP server on the NAS. I use these in conjunction with Dice player, which seems to play any codec up to 720p.
UPNPlay
Media House
I'm using VPlayer on the Nexus and I've installed TVMOBiLi on my mac.
I seriously don't get how to do this whole streaming thing, I don't have a server at home but I did plug in my portable hdd to my router and im not sure how to get it streaming to my N7. Any help would be great!

I've found Plex works well and I can use the same app on my GNEX and it happens to be built into my blu-ray player as well.
Three for the price of one!

XBMC works like a champ with PS3 Media Server installed on the computer. Able to stream 720p mkvs with subtitles to the N7 without any issues or stuttering
So I tried out BSPlayer and found it very easy to connect to my Windows 7 smb network shares. I liked it so much I used some of my credit to buy it.
It does get crashy, especially if you have a lot of LAN videos in your Recently Played, etc Playlists, but I don't use those anyway. The video seems much better quality than using ES File Explorer and MXPlayer/VPlayer. Load times and seek times are super quick with just BSPlayer too. The gestures for the interface aren't really useful to me, but they said they will probably have an option to disable it in a future update.
Anyone willing to connect with me via teamviewer to set it up to make it possible for me to stream my videos from my portable hdd that is on my router?

So the other day I was planning on using the Xfinity Player app lo and behold I forgot I can't stream unless I'm on Wi-Fi. Is there any way to make the app stream even if I'm not on WiFi and just use data? Not sure if there is already a question like this posted but I tried looking some up but no posts were found. I know its possible in some form of way since there are tweaks on iOS for facetime while using 3g even though you technically need Wi-Fi.
