Android music streaming

[BoomAM]

Hi,
I remember reading a while back that Google had added music streaming from your home PC to Gingerbread phones. Seemed like quite a cool idea.

Does anyone know if they used some App to do it? Or can they recommend an app combo (for PC end and Android end) that'll allow me to do it?

Thanks in advance all.

This is the APK for the new android music player that feature cloud syncing.

Is there any documentation behind it?
Im not just gonna download a random file off a file sharing website

Also, what do i need server side?

##EDIT##
From what ive read thats music sync, not music streaming.
Want to keep my collection on my PC and stream to my phone or work laptop when out and about.

Bit more about it here.

Bump!

Anyone?

Seen a few that works by an intermediary, but I'd prefer strait from phone to server tbh.

At home I stream over Wifi from my server to my phone using upnplay

Or are you looking for something that streams when you are out & on the move ?

No, that's remote control software not streaming

The latter.

As long as you have wifi, i find Audiogalaxy pretty good, nothing like sitting in a quite pub listening to your tunes from home

I use Ubuntu one. You don't need to be using Ubuntu as your desktop OS either.

I have my home pc setup with a VM running Windows 2003 with IIS installed, when i am out and about i just web-brows on my phone over 3g to http://my.ip.address/mp3 and it loads all my mp3 collection in a web browser, i just click into the albums and tracks i want to listen to and it plays, no special software or app installed that i know of, but i am using Gingerbread 2.3 OS on my mobile.

When i am at home on the Wi-Fi i just use ES File Explorer and brows the same mp3 collection on my main pc, i click and it plays.

other than the sub fee, can't beat spotify for this kind of application

Tbh, AudioGalaxy seems my best option upto now, even though it does seem to use AudioGalaxys servers as a proxy.

+1 Ubuntu

Just looked into UbuntuOne, and it costs.
AudioGalaxy is free, and is thus far, working fine.

Runs sweet on 3g as well, oh my data plan

Ive noticed that.
Did a test, full Ting Tings album takes up about 20Meg of data.
Not bad, i'll still mostly be using the stuff on my phone, but for those rare occasions when i want to listen to something else...
