I want to listen to streaming air traffic control from http://m.liveatc.net/feeds/?icao=sfo but when I play a stream I can either play in vPlayer or Streaming Player, but both apps turn off the audio when I do anything else... kinda defeats the purpose if I can't stream in the background...
Anyone have any suggestions for me?

Have not had much experience with streaming from the web, but with the audio player they use it will not multitask. You need to find an external app that will handle the stream...
I'm gonna look into this more... I'm a Crash Crewman for the Marine Corps and am in constant contact with the Tower, so this would be a nifty app to find for myself as well.

Yeah supposedly LiveATC is going to have an Android app eventually but its be nice to have an app that can stream anything in the background.

Ugh I can't find any solution. Streaming audio stops when the app goes from open to in the background ... :-(

Google Listen allows you to do this but my main problem with it is if you lose your internet connection, the podcast resumes from the beginning. Very annoying and bad if you are driving. Anything better? Google Listen also will only play what you are subscribed to I believe.
I use Dogg Catcher. Not quite sure how it handles streaming though. While the app is supposed to handle that, I download the podcasts and have the app delete them when they have been listened to.
I use Google Listen but I have it download all the podcasts I listen to when I'm on wireless. If your connection is really bad, you're going to get annoying pauses when streaming even if the bug you mention is fixed.

+2, I haven't tried streaming with it either but it has always worked great to download stuff for listening offline.

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.

The HomePipe Android Application lets you get all your content - photos, videos, music, and more from your PC from anywhere on a network. You can stream music, videos without much hassle.

I also recommend Plex, very nice player and great quality streams outside your home network.

HTC included a media server option within their Gallery App. Just click on the drop down and select Media server.
Double Twist and Google Music for Me as well
Audiogalaxy > Google Music for me. I have 320g of music on a NAS and I'd hate to find out what Google would charge me to 'cloud' all of that.
500gb of music via Subsonic
It's not true streaming - the audio is copied to your device and you set how much space to use and whether the music is visible to the system music app. Traffic can be encrypted. Win/Linux/Mac. Android App available. Web interface. Can do video too.
Twonky is nice but I don't know if it's worth it yet. Have to test it out.
Built in ability is nice but not sure if it will work over 4g.
I was wondering what you guys have going on in regards to remotely controlling your media collection on a htpc... I mostly use wmp but just thought I'd ask around and see what u guys have set up for the xoom... thanks

I am using XBMC as my front end for my HTPC. On the Xoom I am running a few different apps to help the experience.
- I have an App called "Remote Launcher". Basically this app allows me to start XBMC whenever I want with a click of the button I have it setup to also launch a playlist within Media Player. Since I have a dual zone surround sound I tend to have music play throughout the house while someone is watching a movie up in the Loft.
- I have an App called "Unified Remote" Basically this allows me to control my HTPC and acts as a mouse and keyboard. Works flawlessly. Can be used with many different apps, but I mainly use it for Windows Media Player. I can be downstairs, use Remote Launcher to launch my playlist, and then use this app to control it. No need to ever turn the TV on to see
- I have an App called "XBMC Remote" Basically this app is a remote for XBMC. It allows me to start any Movie, TV Show, or Music I want from the Xoom. The best part about this app is that I can once again be downstairs and I can see what is being played on the HTPC up in the Loft. If the neighbor kids are being too loud and not watching the movie, then I can just pause it, and then wait for them to calm down before I start it again. They think I am magic.
- I have an App called "SubSonic" I mainly use this on my EVO phone to stream music in the car from my HTPC, but I can also stream my movies to the Xoom when I am not at home
Overall the Xoom has been a GREAT edition to my HTPC.

Thanks for the reply... I will try these out this weekend see how everything works! I appreciate the reply...
