I'm a new user to spotify and I have to say its an amazing app for music. I mainly use it for the gym. Id like to some how connect my phone to my reciever at my house to listen to it over my sound system. I also have a ps3 and thought I could do it that way but no dice. I have a couple of ideas on how to hook it up but don't want to start buying cable after cable and still not connection....any suggestions?

Does your receiver have aux in? Most do, just plug it into your headphone jack and into the front of your receiver (usually on the front).
Set the receiver to aux-in and voila
Simple cable, only like $5.
Hmm not sure i thought about that...it has dmport which I think is an ipod hookup....could I plug it in via hdmi?

What if you used a Aux to Audio In splitter (RCAs)? Does your receiver have audio an audio in connection which I believe all have?

I did think about that....and yes I do have audio in...I would prefer a digital connection...my reciever does have hdmi in...coax in and optical in. Maybe ill just try a cheap hdmi cable. Anyone have any success with an hdmi cable?

Can you even stream audio only via HDMI or is HDMI just for streaming video?
Hdmi is a combo of both which is why it became the standard over dvi....I'm on cm7 and I know people have had issues with hdmi out on their phone....I don't believe its supported in the rom

Don't know why you would prefer a digital in when you don't have a digital out. Unless the analog audio coming out of the headset jack is really poor, or you have a really long run, the analog would be just fine.
Digital will always add noise. It's advantage is it's ability to keep it's integrity over long distances and is worth the trade off over analog in those cases. If the HDMI transmitted the original unaltered digital signal to the reciever, it might be a plus, however, that is most likely not the case. It is most likely being converted in the process a few times adding noise. Plus the stream from the internet is most likely not high quality anyway.
I'd go with the analog and call it a day.
Well thank you for an informed answer....that's what I was looking for.....I will be doing some shopping tomorrow. I appreciate everyones input!

Picked up rca cables today and everything sounds pretty awesome...thanks again
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
Glad to be of some help. I'll have to check out spotify!
Its pretty awesome....unless u have a music library of thousands of songs. Unfortunately over the years I have lost alot of music.....for ten bucks a month its worth it to have access to alot of things I havnt heard in years

Anyone elses audio come out fuzzy when using voodoo driver? Doesn't matter which db setting I use. I'm going 3.5mm to 3.5mm on my car radio and it happens no matter what listening to Pandora, Spotify, etc. Any ideas? Thanks!

Nothing huh?
Same here, if I turn up the volume.
Sent from my G2X
I only have that with Pandora but I'm not sure if its the phone or app because it is the ad free one posted in our themes and apps for the g2x.

Edit: after I said that I noticed it while watching YouTube videos and when cask forwarding a song in default music player
So I wonder if it's just the G2x, if it does it without voodoo, etc. What is the root hmmm
Are you also charging your phone at the same time? Car chargers tend to make the phone's audio jack all buzzy.

Has anyone ever had connection problems with the headphone jack? I know the curve of the phone doesn't help but i got headphones that work and WERE snug. Now its like when i insert headphones they sit very loose in the jack. Any ideas? Thanks in advance
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
U dont really have any idea why, sung that appears to be hardware related. I have had the issue of inserting headphones only to have the music play from the speaker for a few secods. Then it would transfer source.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
Well it worked fine ever since i got the phone...when i insert the headphones, it will play but if i even think about moving the phone the headphones will slip right out of the jack...i've tried it in my car, on a small speaker system, same thing every time. Any way to fix this or am i screwed?
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
that is definetely an issue with hardware. it your headphones aren't 3.5mm's.

Looking for something to give me both handsfree calling and allow for audio streaming to my car stereo. I was looking at the tunelink at bestbuy for audio streaming, only it does not provide a handsfree calling solution. I do not have an AUX input otherwise i would use the belkin aircast. Also portability is important. Has anybody come across something that will do both?
hey,
hit up Wireless wave. they have a bluetooth speaker that does exactly what youre looking for. Its made by Jabra
Thanks just saw the same thing at best buy today. The Jabra Freeway. I think I am going to get it. Its a little on the large side as it has 3 speakers, while I don't need any (going to use the fm transmitter) but have not seen anything better yet.

The one I have is no bigger then the palm of my hand. Its called the cruzer

I have read mixed reviews with that one. Do you do any audio streaming? If so how is the quality? That one is much smaller than the one I saw.

Motorola T505. Its handsfree and will either play music. on built in speakers or stream to car stereo using built in FM transmitter. Great quality sound, I have one
Thanks got the cruiser 2 today going to try it for a few days and if it does not work well, I may try it the Motorola.

Hoping someone can help me with this.... Can I listen to pandora via usb connection on my car stereo? It has a usb port and I can use to mount as mass storage device, but wondering how to/if I can play pandora through it
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
As soon as you use mass storage the os becomes unavailable. You might try this adapter. I've never used it so I have no idea if it will work but it seems like it should. Also do you have bluetooth on the deck?
http://www.amazon.com/StarTech-ICUSBAUDIO-USB-Audio-Adapter/dp/B000NPKGGK/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8
No bluetooth, the deck is a viole years old and the aux input doesn't work anymore. maybe I'll check this out
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
It says it's for computers but I don't see why it wouldn't work. And for 14 bucks it's worth a shot. Or you could just get a new deck. lol Good Luck.
Hi Chazel3
I have an unused line out to FM transmitter (connecting to car power socket).
It can be a blast combined with voodoo sound on AntonX's kernel.
See attached image.
Let me know if you want it.

Never liked fm modulators very much, looking for more of a hard line solution, probably end up getting a new head unit with bluetooth, thanks for the help tho!

Title says it all...STILL trying to play music via usb. Yes rooted using usb mass storage enable. Yes it charges the phone no music is played I get "cannot play" I have every cable you can think of run behind my dash including iPhone cables , and this standard usb cable is going to be useless if I can't use it for music..can't be this hard.
Nothing from anyone?
Does yours not have Bluetooth? That's how I play mine. Try a Bluetooth dongle if it doesn't.

Its not gonna work like that. You'll have to stream bluetooth or use an aux input. What model radio? I can give you the best solution.

I wish I knew off the top of my head..no not Bluetooth. Its a very good JVC radio though. usb and aux input.
I am a professional installer as well with over 10 years under my belt and I can tell ya if its not a new radio (less than6 months old or so ) it will not work. Only some radios support mtp and its usually brand new ones... if it doesnt work then it never will... use the aux input or get a new radio
I had no issues enabling usb mass storage on my S4 and playing with USB to my jvc... But no luck yet with my s5,kinda disappointing because the sound quality was so much better via usb
