I have used the htc app to play music on my phone to my computer....but can it work the other way? There is a tab on the far right in the music app to connect to a computer, but it never connects. Has anyone here been able to accomplish this?
It works for me.My phone sees all 3 of my pc's,2 xbox 360's and a ps3.And my tversity and twonky servers.

Did you set up the sharing in media player? I guess my issue may be a firewall issue....which if so... I'd probably just give. Firewalls can be a *****.
I already had media sharing setup prior to getting the phone.

Through the regular connected media app I can see my PC which has Serviio installed and can play Video (not all formats), music and pictures. My samsung C6500 bluray player which is also DLNA enabled does not see Inspire though.
I installed iMediaShare app from the market, now my C6500 bluray can see the phone, I can browse the folders on my Inspire and can play video/music and pictures.

Yeah, I can get music and videos to stream to my pc, but not the other way. I think the media share is set up that way, but the music app seems to be able to play music from the pc on the inspire. That gives me a permission error. I have enabled all of the settings in media player, but no dice....either its cool, but wish I could listen to my pc music on my inspire.
I forget which port it was but I had to manually set it up in the port forwarding tab for my network to have it so all my devices (xbox,ps3,etc) would be able to access my full media library. Maybe the phone needs the same thing.

is there a media player app that can play music directly from your computer over network?
gMote 2.0 has this feature though it is very buggy and a pain to use sometimes.

Depending on your device and what software is already installed on your computer, "UPnPlay" will add universal plug and play to your phone if not present, allowing you to connect to many different UPNP devices over wi-fi. This allows my Droid to connect to Windows Media player to play just about anything (audio/video) in my library. Should have been included in all 2.2 builds in my opinion.

Audiogalaxy for sure. Its amazing.
thanks, audio galaxy is just what i needed.
Plex is pretty good for video streaming
Audiogalaxy does audio well but is less perfect from the video streaming point of view
DLNA
I'm using J. River Media Center with the Android Gizmo app to stream media (it's free on the Market). So I can use my Desire HD as the server or client and send media anywhere in my home over wifi. Solid app but takes a bit of setting up to start.. and the Windows client is not free.
Winamp has such a feature as long as you install winamp on your system and setup it's network player it should be really easy.

I've tried them all. I gave up my zune since I didn't want to update it or delete music for new stuff. I'd rather have access to my music anywhere.
Audiogalaxy- first thing I tried. It didn't pick up all my music regardless of how many times I redid the library. The audio quality was ok but it was a really basic app and website.
Homepipe- useless since it only streams if the app is active. Hit home and you're sitting in silence.
Subsonic- didn't try it too long. Another basic app.
Jukefly- still using this. Love it. It installed on my htpc no problem and the app is nice outside of having to manually force close the service. Quality is adjustable by network type. It picks up my music, and adds new stuff without having to refresh the library. The Internet app is great foo. If your server is off it will still display your library but stream the audio from youtube. I highly recommend it.

I usually just mount my music network share with cifs manager, then any app can access the files on the share.
I see that the thread is relatively old, but maybe some of the people still have their setups working.
Did you do something special to the setup on Windows, because I would like to do more or less the same, but neither my computer sees my phone nor the other way around.
I have another UPNP-server in my Wifi which can be used by my phone as well as my computer, but what I would love to do is tell my computer to play what's on the server using my phone as remote. It worked nicely with mpd and mpDroid, but I would love to have this setup also work with Win7...
Any hints?
Is there any devolper who wants to devolpe that kind of app that can stream all computer audio to the android device?

Your going to have to be more specific, either that or you just dont realize how dlna work. Dlna does exactly what you said, stream music so you can "hear whats on comp on android", and upnplay is a dlna app. I used 2player. Just throwing it out there Air Bubble turns Android into an airport (iOS). So can you elaborate on why dlna will not work for you?
I think VLC can be made to stream anything the PC is playing to another device on the network.

its your lucky day.*I'm not advertising* Splash top is on sale for $1 on the android market. Just search for it. Its like VLC but streams audio and video from the pc to your phone.
I think the guy is asking for an app that acts like a bluetooth A2DP headset, so the desktop OS can connect and output audio via the 'headset'.
Its streaming, but not application specific!!
What i mean is that if i play a game like HoN or GTA IV or playing music on my computer i want all audio to come out to my android device like an wireless transmitter and reciver.. So i just can plug my galaxytab or desire hd to my stereo and hear my computer audio/sound.

It works great for music and have high audio quality =)
SO currently I use my ipod touch for music, and I also use itunes. However, I thought about using my TB as my music player, here are some questions:
1. How big of a pain is it to get music on
2. Rhapsody or iTunes (library is on itunes, never used rhapsody)?
3. Possibly my biggest question is quality. I have run Pandora on my TB and the quality is much lower than that of an iPod (understandable as its a radio frequency). However my point is, if I have to run songs on my TB at VOL 50 instead of VOL 40 in my car to adjust to the quality and get the bass up, then I am not sure the TB is the best music player. With that said, whats your experience with the quality?
I use my TB exclusively for music, thanks to Google Music. Haven't had an issue with quality with my Sennheisers, but YMMV.

Simple, Connect your phone to your PC, and copy the music you want to your SD card.

You don't have to use a certain program to sync, you can if you choose to, there are many out there, I don't sync my music so I can't help there.

I connect it via the 3.5mm jack to the aux in 3.5mm jack in my 09 jeep with a monster audio cable. Things sound great to me, especially using the SRS enhancement with the stock music player. Bass is nice, not crackly like you would get with an FM transmitter, I would honestly say it is at least CD quality. But all my music is ripped at a high VBR or 320kbps.
There are apps that will let you sync your iTunes library to your Android device, do some Googling.
If you are used to using your iPod for music then I don't think you are going to like the interface.
I miss having my iPod Touch but I refuses to carry separate device just for music.

All my music needs are fulfilled with slacker radios caching. It allows me to save 100's of songs on my phone and play them without needing a data connection. Bad part for some would be you can't pick what song to hear unless you have the higher paid account. For 4.99 a month I just cache my favorite stations for all my music needs.

Subsonic can do that also, think it's a one time $10 donation for unlimited use. Can stream pretty much any type of media on your computer.
Check out Audiogalaxy. It's a free app that streams your *entire* music library from your desktop/media server to your phone. If you are in a 4G area, it streams without compressing. I have an ipod classic but I rarely use it anymore. Streaming via AG is more convenient & sounds just as good.

If you are going to listen to your own music on the thunderbolt, i would strongly recommend buying power amp. That player will allow you to drive the actually good audio hardware to its limits, dropped my old mp3 player faster than a sack of rocks after i started using poweramp
Haven't used my iPod in forever... I use the following:
Slacker: When I want to stream and/or listen for new bands...
Subsonic/Google Music: When I want to listen to my personal music collection (which is too big to fit on any size device right now).
PowerAMP: For cahced music.
Now Google Music is not that great right now (Subsonic is better IMHO) because it is picky about some of the music I have and won't upload it. Subsonic turns your computer into the music server so you don't have to upload anything, you just have to asign your computer a static IP and keep it on.
I love PowerAMP for the quality of play so I will usually use Subsonic or GM to cache (or download) some songs and then play them with PowerAMP, since the Subsonic and GM players don't hold a candle to PowerAMP.

After reading the last couple comments, I downloaded the trial, listened to 2 songs, tweaked the EQ and settings, and listened again, and then bought the unlocker, this is an amazing music player.
Don't forget that the thunderbolt is compatible with DHS enhancements
Thanks a lot for the responses guys, I will try your suggestions and test it out!
The srs in the htc music app is amazing, especially with in ear headphones

Just installed full version of power amp, how should I transfer my itunes music to my phone? I dont know that I would like to keep using itunes, waiting for google music beta invitation so I can start using that
I use the ipod only because there is no good way to connect it with my car radio that doesn't leave a bunch of wires all over the place... I've emailed HTC about a bottom connector but they weren't to receptive to it.
Again I know I could do it with the phone, but having that bottom connector on the ipod allows me to have it in my car and hidden without a bunch of wires all over the place.
+1 for subsonic, donated to that project and use it all the time... everywhere!
I use iTunes as well and use the Thunderbolt for my music player.
iSyncr (and/or iSyncr WiFi) syncs itunes music including playlists so it is very easy to set up. Use Bluetooth in my car; not missing anything from when I used an iPhone/iPod. It even syncs playcounts if you have Last.FM scrobbling.

iSyncr is the way to go. It's what I use to get my music on the Bolt.
If you're not concerned about the battery, I wouldn't use your iPod anymore. PowerAmp does just fine as a music player.
I use Google Music and upload to the cloud
Hey there,
is there any app that streams every audio playing on the phone (e.g. videos, youtube, sounds from apps) to my computer thus I can listen to it over my computer-hifi?
thanks a lot!
seems as if this is what im looking for:

Samsung phones have AllShare built in.
UPnplay free from market is also good.
