Just curious if anyone know's the best way to do this.. Google music only works for andriod and grooveshark is not working anymore.. Any ideas?
tonido works well
There's a subsonic app for WP7 as well..
Just need the server component at home..
http://www.subsonic.org/pages/index.jsp
The already mentioned apps work fine, but you might probably take a look at MyMedia WP7.
Not saying this is the best. Windows Home Server 2011 and MS app My Home Server works here to stream media to the phone. Just another possibility if you happen to have Windows Home Server..
Thank you all very much, going to try out mymedia sounds pretty good.

I have been using hamachi to make a vpn to my home machine where i have orb installed, I use a upnp plugin to stream music to my phone. I however just flashed earlier today, I thought i got it set up just the same but for some reason its not working. The hamachi connection is just fine, i can message back and forth. And even in pocket player i can view my music, however when i got to play the music it just doesn't seem to want to. Any ideas? If i can get this to work i would be more then happy to make a tutorial on how all this works. But something funny is going on currently.
Thanks

Hello all,
I've been trying to (rather unsuccessfully) remote access my home pc's music files via LobsterTunes on my HD2.
I'm using TVersity to sync from my home pc to the phone and while LobsterTunes does find the media server and lists my media, when I actually try and play a track it just continually buffers?
Any ideas?
Thanks
I havent tried winamp on my hd2 yet, but i used to use it on my tytn2. it has a media server service. Allowing access to my pc.
i forgot about it till you mentioned it. hmmmm. may go investigate that again.

That sounds interesting, I've found WinamPAQ 1.0 after a bit of Googling, is this the version with a media server service?
Thanks
I just checked. Go to winamp.com and download free winamp to your pc. register for the winamp remote service (also free) and simply log in on ur phone browser. there is a mobile site, i dont have the address to hand.
I never use winamp, but my ps3 on my home network works better using this media service to stream films and music.

Cool will give that a try when I get home, thanks!
I've also just been looking at Orb, seems to be a fairly simple way to share media between your home pc and hd2, yet to try it though but will post findings if anyone is interested?
Hello,
I'm looking to extend my music collection available on my device by streaming from my PC, either on my home network or on other WiFi networks. 3G is generally not up to the job, so I'm not interested in that.
I did a quick google and found a program called JukeFly, but it's not available in my region, and I can't find it on Marketplace. Is there a way to get JukeFly on my device?
I know that I can add music to my SkyDrive, but this is only accessible through the Office Hub, so is a bit clunky to access and I presume I'll be limited to opening one track at a time.
I've come across Media Buddy, which works with Windows Media Centre, but I'm really looking for something that will at least appear in the Applications list in Zune on my device.
Anyone got any clever solutions?
Thanks
When you're at home you could use a DLNA app.
Or you could install TVersity Server (it's for free) on your PC and then download and install either myMedia WP7 or TVersity Remote on your device. Works like a charm for me.
Streaming from your PC to WP7
There is an app in the marketplace called Tonido. It is really good at what its for. It reminds me of orb before it got screwed up, but tonido you should enjoy
What im trying to do is to get my ps3 to connect to my androids as media servers. I am NOT looking for an app that connects to media servers- there are a ton of those on the market. I keep ALL my music on my android devices. I would like for them to BE the media server. Though, it seems there are few apps that do this.
I tried "Remote media!" From the market. It works up to the point where I go to listen to an mp3, then times out. Otherwise, my ps3 can connect to my android and display all the right folders. But there are some bugs with actually streaming the content. Didn't get it to stream once on either of my devices.
Does anyone know of such an app? Thanks for your help!
If your device has DLNA capabilities, you can use iMedia share from the market.

I tried media, though it wasn't locating my media and seemed to be a bit bulky of an app with all the options of websites to stream to your tv. I mightily it again in a few, but really lookingbfor a simple clean app. I wish remote media would work.
Twonky Mobile - very bulky though.

Share Me - https://market.android.com/details?id=com.sygem.android.shareme_free Worked okay from what I remember, but I didn't buy as I have all my stuff on my Nas - was just testing it out.
share me and remote media seem to work up to thebexact same point- until I click Olay. so this might indicate an issue that I can fix. But what issue? Upnp seems enabled on all devices. what else?
Any help?
Look out for an app called media server or something like this from Sony Ericsson. You won't find it in the market because it's one of the preinstalled apps on the Arc.
It has dlna capabilities too and worked for me when I tried to connect with my PC

blarghle!
Im very frustrated. It seems this works properly, but there is some upnp error as far as I can guess.
I have newest firmware for router,
Enabled upnp on ps3,
Servers are running on EVO/jetstream,
Ps3 shows all folders, files, and even images from the gallery,
Images show with no problem,
When playing an mp3, it says data is corrupt, when it is not.
Halp >_>
I've exhausted my savvy knowledge to this point...
Hi. Try Skifta. It works well for me!
Check it in Android Market.

Air sync
Android device and PS3/Xbox need to be on the same wifi source.
Run air sync and you can share media to anything pretty much. Here ya go.

I want to be able to listen to my entire itunes through streaming onto my Nexus 5 and I know there's apps which do this like Doubletwist. But the problem is my desktop does not run through wifi, its a wired connection. So I was wondering if theres an app which doesn't need the same wifi on your Android device as your desktop.
Thanks
Have you tried the apps? Usually if the computer is connected to the same network by Ethernet it'll work for apps that use it, I know things like WiFi mouse etc do. Or ditch iTunes and upload your music to Google play, it'll take a while but you'll save hours by not having to use the worst piece of software in existence.

If your N5 and desktop are on the same subnet, you can control and listen to iTunes, even though the desktop is not on the wireless. My home system is like that (the primary desktop mac is a wired ethernet into my LAN and has its wifi card turned off).
In order for your N5 (any wifi client) to work this way requires your wireless (wifi) router to be in access point mode (which is NOT the default), not in normal router mode. How easy this is to do depends entirely on your particular wifi router, and your skill at configuring it.
(When your N5 and desktop are on the same subnet, you can use AirBubble on your N5 to receive the audio from iTunes on your desktop machine, and you can use Remote for iTunes to control the running iTunes on your desktop. Works very well).

You could try subsonic. it wont interfere with itunes ( ugh ) and it will convert your flac and ogg and movie files on the fly too. Then get dSub for your android and you will never use itunes again. Subsonic is a free open source media server you install on your pc that streams to your phone or any device, no clunky uploading to the cloud. Dsub is a pay for app but I have paid for it twice its that good and dev works hard on it, constantly updating it.
subsonic here
dsub on play and forum if you want to see what up with that
forum 4 dsub
Honestly once you try this you will wonder why you havent heard about this before it's so easy.
older apk of dsub
load that up and then stream from the demo server that it comes with , see how good it is. And some interesting music from Norway there too

How about just downloading the Google Music Manager, uploading your library to Google Play Music and stream it anywhere on any network...

So far, the problem I'm up to I think is the port forwarding. Seems the custom URL for your name doesn't connect and possibly due to not successfully port forwarding. I am also using my university's wired connection. Could that be why?

Go into your router settings > Go to port forwarding > Give it a name Music Streaming > Enter the port and forward it to the internal IP.
example http://www.howtogeek.com/66214/how-to-forward-ports-on-your-router/
Scratch what I wrote. I didn't see you were on a university network. Not sure you're going to have much luck with port forwarding.

Why , Dear deity, would you take the huge time/BW to upload what you already have digitally and could serve up to yourself at a cost of no time at all?? And still stream it anywhere on the net and keep control of it yourself ?
I hate being evangelistic but this is really a no brainer once you understand how Subsonic works
