Best free music streamer?

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.

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 know of two, pocket BLU and BlueputDroid.
Search for them in the market.
I've only tried BlueputDroid. Works over bluetooth as a keyboard and mouse. You need to be rooted and have a compatible rom, they suggest Cyanogenmod.
pocket BLU works over WiFi network and can control playback with pop up keyboard i think.

Thank you! I will try

I wonder why Sony's hasn't come up with an app yet, they already have an app for their new TV's and BD-players...

Why release a free app that competes with your $30 remote?
Tvs and Bd players come with remotes anyway.

There are dlnA apps in the market that will work. Just search for dlna in the play store.

Just to clarify, cause I'd really like to be able to use the NQ to stream media from my NAS; here's the scenario
If I was playing an MKV file using Dice Player (which is streaming it from my NAS via SMB) on my Galaxy Nexus, I can have the Galaxy Nexus communicate with the NQ to have it displayed on my TV?
Any help with this is greatly aprpeciated

[Q] xbmc remote control nexus 7

Hey guys,
I was just wondering if someone has a home media pc and they use the nexus 7 as the remote control, for that computer, if so how do you find the usability and how well does it work?

I use it with XMBC on my Raspberry Pi, works good.
Via my HTC Rezound

And how do you find the controls?

I use mine all the time as a remote for my HTPC and my PC which has all my media on it. I use the official XBMC app and it works well, you just have to remember what buttons do what since they are multifunctional depending on which screen you are on.
I have an actual windows media center infrared remote that I reprogrammed which I prefer but the app works great too and its a neat thing to show off. Give it a try.

Well it works the same as on any android device i guess, its nice with a little bigger screen. I used to use it on my S3 but now only on my nexus 7.

[Q] Streaming media from iMac to Ativ Smart PC?

So basically, all i want to do is stream my mkv's to my windows 8 tablet.
Would be awesome if there was a plex client in development for the store. I did try an app called media8? But has limited file/codec support (but did detect my plex media server).
Anyone have any suggestions?
