What's the best way to do this?
I was reading into uPNP. I got a uPNP plugin for foobar2000, and got it working for streaming stuff to my phone over the local WiFi network.
I tried to use PlugPlayer on Android to do this over the internet, couldn't get it to work though.
Does Winamp for Android do this? It says you can wirelessly sync with your PC, but that sounds like it downloads all your music to the phone, I just want to use my phone to browse a list of music on my PC at home, and stream whichever one I pick to the phone.
I'd like to be able to choose the bitrate I stream at also, the foobar2000 uPNP plugin has very good options here, I just need to find an Android app to play it
Hi, have u looked at audiogalaxy, im using that, sounds exactly what u need.

So I will be recieving this beauty Next week and I was looking around but cant seem to find the answer.
I wish to stream my WMP or Itunes playlists on my tablet when I am home.
I did buy a Portable HD, but not really usefull to always copy my computer playlists over it and such.
Really looking for a streaming option.
I don't know how enamored/entrenched with iTunes you are, but once i entered the android world, I moved my music over to google music. It can be streamed or downloaded to your devices via Google's music app.

Google music will automatically import all your iTunes / wmv music and auto sync from that point forward.
Google music > iTunes
To be honest didnt really fiddle with google music. Tought it was just a player for the phone. So i can basicaly listen to it o er my computer aswell?

Yes, though you'll need to sign up with a US proxy (just for the signup, after that you don't need to worry about it).
Also, download Skifta or some other DNLA app and you can stream shared music and movies from your network (WinXP/Vista/7/8 machines, XBox360, PS3, and more support DNLA).
EDIT: See you have an S2X...Samsung calls their DNLA client for their phones and tablets AllShare, if you've used that, Skifta does pretty much the same thing.
Yeah i got skifta using it for vids. But I found that for music it wasnt great. Just managed to sync my principl plulist on google music!looks good

I was a big iTunes user and I have far too many songs to just drag and drop, Google music is a life saver... Better then iTunes

You don't need US proxy for sign up, its available in the UK now. Just upload all your music to the cloud, install Google music app, play.

He's in Canada, like me. It's not active here yet, so we still need to use a proxy for the sign up.

My only concern with Google Music is there is no offline player. If your net connection goes you loose the ability to play your music.
OK you could just navigate to the folders and play them as they are, or use something like iTunes but it kinda defeats the point

Think you missed the point. I was specifically talking about desktop support where the local hard copies of your music are stored
I don't see why it is a problem that you can play your music with any application that you would like to.
I'm confused why your desktop is even in the discussion. Google Music will let you stream music to your tablet or phone without any interaction with your desktop. You can continue to use your desktop as you do now.
If you want something that streams directly from your desktop then look into Subsonic.

Love google music but just tried to download some of my playlists to the nexus and it is unbeleivably slow, I have 50meg broadband...
Yesterday I was looking at my storage usage, play music had over 500mb of data. I cleared data and it went down to 12mb. Checked again today and there's 200mb in there. I hadn't even opened it since I cleared data. Wtf is it doing in the background? I'm guessing it's downloading music to the device, because it's killing my data also, but it's not downloading it to any obvious folder. I don't see any settings to control this, typical of a google app the settings are quite minimal. I haven't selected any songs to be pinned to the device either.

Don't sync your Google Music and it will not use quite as much. When you do Sync the music file get stored in /data/data/com.google.android.music in the files folder. ....

Word. I never used the sync feature even though I had it set up, so I just deleted everything from my play library. I'm on the all access trial. Any song I can stream from my library I can stream from Google, so why bother.
Thanks :thumbup:

There's a modified google music apk floating around which let's you save the music to any directory (thus offloading it onto an SD card potentially).
Make sure you hit the "on device" setting so it doesn't stream everything and kill your data

Play music is at it again. 510mb of data nowhere to be found. Luckily whatever it's doing, it did on wifi this time. I can't find anything in any location. No songs, nada. I'm close to deleting it and canceling my subscription.

You did say you were streaming right?
Use Greenify and make it hibernate while not in use

I haven't been streaming much, and when I do it's on wifi. This is app data not cellular data.
I unchecked sync google play music, automatic caching in the app, and cleared all data and it hasn't downloaded anything to my internal storage in two days. If I could contact google about it I would, because it downloaded 500mb of something to my phone over 4g, and that ain't right.

Yeah I checked mine too and it had over 800 megabytes of data also I just froze it I'm not going to deal with it until I get it fixed or either I will revert to the old one

Make sure you've disabled the option that automatically caches streamed music locally.
I just found a program that runs the google play music from a browser a like , and allows to download any music playing. But it costs 10$ a year. Song Spout is called.
Isnt there any other extension for chrome that allow to do this. I want to download the music to my mac so I can hear it on ipad, and my moms iphone.
Thanks
