I used to be able to do this with pocketplayer in windows mobile. I just got an android phone today (G1, old but much better than my even older phone) and I wanted to be able to stream my music library to my phone. I already have the means to stream it to anything else using edna (http://edna.sourceforge.net/), which I managed to run as a service in the background.
The idea was to be able to access my music library on the phone's browser and then have it open the generated .m3u file using a music player. But I have yet to find a single music player for Android that can do this except maybe this app called "Just Playlists", which doesn't really work at all unless I download the playlist first. And it won't do that, it automatically opens them with the program.
So, I'm thinking of downloading subsonic to use as an mp3 server, but the thing is that I feel that it's unnecessary to have two mp3 servers running at a time. The only benefit is having it on my phone, but otherwise I can just use edna on another device, like a computer, and open the playlist files with VLC or Winamp.
Another problem I ran into with Just Playlists is that it won't preload the song titles/artists for the songs, so I'll be looking at the full URL waiting for it to scroll by so I can pick a song. This is if it works at all.
So, help? Anyone know of any apps?
Using CIFS to mount music shares
I've actually been trying to do a similar thing. I've been using cifs to mount my music folder onto my Desire. It seems like a slightly easier way to get access to the files than using edna, especially because it doesn't require any extra software.
I have been struggling to find a decent music player than can easily handle such a large volume of files. I'm using Winamp Beta for my music and whilst I can play files, I need to use a file browser to find the files I want to play.
I also can't find a way of playing the m3u playlists I have stored on my computer. I've used Audio Galaxy and this has the same problem (unless you're using iTunes). Subsonic has better support but it's pretty expensive.
has anyone found a working soultion for this yet? I have a set of m3u and pls files which are saved URL's of online radio stations, some from shoutcast, some from other sources that on Windows Mobile I used GS Player to listen to
Just Playlists seems to come the closest out of any apps I've tried to working but either gives me an unexpected error message when trying to open the file or it looks like it has opened it but I get no playback.
I've tried StremFurious, VLC S&C and I think one or two others but no luck yet, curious if others have a solution
thanks!
how can i get the music in my itunes to properly play in my htc inspire. ? should i download an alternative music player or do i have to format my music
You can always use doubletwist download from market and onto your computer...it is almost like iTunes but for android

If the Music is in the Itunes format mpa? or something like that you can get an Itunes alternative software like http://www.getsharepod.com/ and rip the music off yer iphone back to Mp3.
The stock music player will play iTunes (AAC/m4a) files. Just copy the files directly to your SD card. The default directory is sdcard/media/audio/music.
My files are on the root directory of the SD card in a file called 'Music' and it had no problem finding them.
Sign up for googles music beta and upload your music then stream them on your phone and save your space on your sd card.

idk about that music beta it seems like a great idea but it takes forever in a day to U/L any music if your over 4gs I could be wrong.
Like some of the other post talk about double twist is good for that also their is a app called ISync seems like it will also do the trick..
For me I just save them to the Pc as Mp3s and drag n drop I hated using Itunes.
Google Music uploads from your PC/Mac, so it will use your home internet connection not your phone's. Your phone will just stream the music from Google's servers. Probably the easiest way I've found to "have" all of my iTunes music on my HTC.
WinAmp. Supports iPods and Android Phones... And all of Apple's formats.
In addition to mentioned above, there is an app by DoubleTwist that allows over the air syncing with iTunes and your music folders, if that is what you want. Just search doubleTwist in the market and the app should come up.
I have noticed when i download a folder containing music files via torrent it will not show up in music player!
Whats the format of ur music in the folder? Normally it will auto detect all the media

It's mp3. Go ahead and try yourself, download sth via torrent and post the result
I tried copying folders of music which I've downloaded from various sources, and they've all worked fine. Your question is pretty vague though.
There's many ways to get music onto your phone; let us know exactly what you did, and we'll be able to see if there's a step you missed.
eg:
1) downloaded torrent from website
2) ran torrent in uTorrent, to download music
3) connected phone to PC in "USB Storage" mode
4) copied downloaded music to 'Music' folder on phone.
The more detail you give, the more easy it will be to figure out what's going wrong.
Personally, I use WinAmp on both PC and Sensation, because that will allow me to sync my music over WiFi, so I don't even have to have my phone nearby - I can leave it in the next room and think "Hey, I need XYZ album for tonight", load WinAmp, and it sends the album to my phone. Nice.
Ok here goes:
1. Installed aDownloader
2. Searched for a torrent that downloads a .mp3 format
3. Downloaded the song
4. Opened the song to check if it is a valid file with FileExpert and Astro,
both played the song without problems
5. Opened the Music Player and did not found the song in the library
6. Moved the downloaded song from the aDownliader folder to Music folder
7. Still not showing in the Music library.
All steps were made without the usage of a pc...
Any thoughts?
Reboot your phone OR download something like SDrescan.....

Some .mp3 won't be on the music library. The only way I've managed to play those mp3's, is to launch it directly from the file. Weird, I know.

Lol, it's somewhat funny.. no it's more like, tragicomic, yeah, tragicomic is the word that such a beast of a phone doen't support the simplest of all features, editing song info in music player and manually scaning the library for new files hahah
Sdrescan saved me and fixed the prob, i gave u +1 for that
P.s rebooting also does the trick but takes a bit longer (the startup scan is to blame)

I recently got the Zune pass on my focus and I see it streams songs but it also has an option to download the track. The player looks just like the one that streams audio from internet explorer.
Would it be possible to have an option like that for all audio or at least make an app that can do the same? Or is there already something like this?

You've got to be more specific. What do you want to do?
Stream music and play it using the built-in Zune app (which is what IE does, not the other way around like you seem to think)? Lots of apps can do that.
Download music from the Zune store? No.
Download music from other sources, and play it using the Zune app controls? Same as answer one.
I know that I can stream music and play it with the Zune app, but I cannot download the song playing, meaning that every time I want to play it, I have to stream it. In other words, if I want the song stored on my phone, I have to go on a computer, download it, and sync it to my phone.
What I mean download music from the Zune store is that if you buy a Zune pass, you can download from the Zune store. Again, it is only the songs that Microsoft has made available.
So my question is, if I like a song on IE on my phone, is there any way for me to permanently save it to my phone?
I don't like the Google Play Music application much, so basically what I was wondering was if I could play kept google play music songs and albums in another player such as PowerAmp somehow. From what I have seen there is no way to do this because google incorporates some sort of DRM in all of their music files, which makes sense, because they don't want people just copying and pasting kept music files that they didn't actually buy. I have determined the location of the saved music files to be in "root\data\data\com.google.android.music\files\music" if I am in the wrong spot please let me know. I have pulled the saved music files (MP3's) from this location but can not manage to play them in any music player. I also tried running them through a converter just for the hell of it but the converter instantly crashes when I try converting the file. I don't think there is anything that can be done about this but if anybody has any ideas please let me know!
not possible. stop trying
I don't think you can get them from your phone but you can most definitely download the songs to your computer as regular mp3's. You can then put them on your phone and use any media player.
on a desktop/laptop, open google play music. pick what songs you want, then press download. the downloaded songs that you got using google play music desktop can now be played in other music applications.
Even still...if you have not purchased the song, you cannot download it. All of the music in "My Library" that you've uploaded can be dl'd but not songs you randomly hear and "Add to my Library"
Unless I'm doing something wrong....
You can not download music on a pc unless you have purchased that music. On the android application there is however and option to download music to the device in a hidden location (root\data\data\com.android.google.music\files\music). You can download them, but like I said they are encrypted or have some sort of DRM incorporation so you can not play them anywhere but within the play music application. I don't think it's possible. I just wanted a few opinions on it.
