I have done a quick search and could not find the answer I'm after.
I want to be able to stream my music from my Win7 PC to my Sensation without some long drawn out process or having to have a load of different programs running.
Is there a way to get my windows media player to recognise my phone via my WiFi (pc is wired into a wireless router) and stream my music form the WiFi on to my phone as if the music was on my phone?
OR
Do I need a 64GB card! lol
It's possible. In the HTC music app (if you're running sense 3.6) tap the top bar and select media servers. If you've got your pc already set up for sharing, it should be visible. Just start streaming away!

I tried that but I can't seem to get my PC setup to be seen by my phone. Any ideas for that side of things then as i seem to be doing the bit on the phone correct?
Not strictly related to these forums, but this *should* be what you're looking for (I haven't read it through properly myself.)

Windows 7 process should be identical.
If it doesn't work, pm me I'll try help

So i just got a fat 32gb class 4 for my evo so i can finally pawn off my ipod but i want an easy way to sync my music just like i had with my ipod. Someone reccommended me doubletwist i installed it on my PC then on my phone and it doesnt find my phone when i connect it :/
Do i need certain drivers on my pc for my evo? like htc sync drivers or something? Ive tried wiping my phone and flashing a new rom and nothing anyone have any suggestions? or a better alternative program that will autosync my music library with my phone?
You also need to install the double twist app on your evo.

i had it open on my pc and the app was installed. Maybe i should uninstall my evos drivers completley then try plugging in again and letting them reinstall?
tried it no go. Media Monkey is looking like my next choice. I just love using Tune-Up for album art on itunes : /
Heya, i was just wondering if anyone could give me a detailed walkthrough of how to get music on my HTC Desire S? I can't seem to figure out how
Attach with data cable in disk drive mode open windows media player choose sync mode your SD card should show up
Then simply drag your albums over to the column on the right click sync now and your done
Hope this helps

Lol i just copy/paste them on my sd-card, and make a playlist on the phone
Hello there,
After my 16 Gb SD card decided that after I removed my phone from the PC in USB Hard Drive mode to become corrupted in some way, I decided that I'd check out HTC Sync to see what I could do to make sure that I kept my collection of photos as up to dat as possible.
Picture synchronisation is great. Works fine and takes mere seconds to hook up.
My problem comes down to music... and it's probably because I'm an awkward so-and-so.
I use FLAC for all of my music, with the exception of any iTunes and Amazon MP3 music I buy. It might be bulkier on the capacity requirements but I prefer it over MP3. HTC Sync won't sync up .flac files it seems and it would mean switching to MP3 or finding another way of doing this.
Anyone got any suggestions on how to sync flac files? The best I can think of is renaming .flac to .mp3. AFAIK, it should not change the file content or quality and should play normally through an app (PowerAMP in my case)
I use a very handy app called Syncness. It automatically copies all new files (regardless of format) in nominated folders to a specified spot on my pc each time it sees my home wifi ssid, or when I manually hit the 'sync now' button within the app.
It's a bit tricky to set up at first, but the developer is without doubt the best I've encountered on android marketplace and responds to questions extremely quickly.

Thanks for the tip!
App costs and is 4 stars, but a lot of negative reviews lately. It does not inspire me.

Hey. WinAMP can manage and sync your music library to Android device (even without WinAMP mobile app) and you can use default music player.

Syncness seems to work flawlessly on Wifi. I've only run a test sync so far but I'm confident that it will work just as I need it to.
How do I stream movies picture or music to my pc or stream my pc's movie music or pics to my Inspire is there a app I need to download like a DLNA app
Sent from my Inspire 4G using XDA App
there should already be a app on there for media streaming... to stream movies /pics/music go into your gallery and click media servers and your pc should come up if you have it set to media share
I did something similar using wifi tether mode on my inspire.
I started wifi tether then connected my laptop to it. after chainging my computers media servers settings, ( I use windows media player and a free software called vuze) I was able to acess any music, video, or picture that was on my laptop from my inspire using HTC app Connect media. It mite allso help, I was on a RcMix Kingdom rom. on my inspire.
It dint work perfectally, but it worked after some tweaking.
I woudnt kno iff it would work for "pushing" media.

Allso worked on Coredroid. just had to go to HTC music player, go to your music list and scroll over to connected media and hit "cancel" when no wifi error pops up. it should still find urr media server.

I use TwonkyServer (no longer free, but the older free versions are still out on the web) to stream to my xbox 360. I've never tried my pc, but I'm sure it should work. Twonky shares video, music, and pictures.

Ok. I found am easyer way using Sence. I created an open Adhoc network on my laptop then modded my phone to see and connect to adhoc networks. For some reason it doesn't see them automatically. Set up yrr computer with media servers turned on and u should have access. It works great even as a remote for windows media player!
I allso did some WiFi bridging mods on my laptop for faster adhoc but PM me for that info iff u need help

for music and one of the reasons for getting an android tablet... Power AMP with rock EQ preset enabled.
as for the driver thing, i uninstalled the driver from device manager and rebooted the computer, it redetected the tablet and installed fine, though it did take longer to do so this time, but it worked.
as for rooting... not sure yet. though i would love to get the kobo app working normally... whatever this preinstalled ReaderHub thing is it hijacked my library.
wifi times out...
Another question... is there aa way to keep the wifi running constantly while streaming video? It likes to stop mid stream forcing the video to pause while it rebuffers more (which sometimes causes the video to start over or crash)... very annoying in my opinion. I do not hsve this iissue on my win 7 wifi desktop.
I am running the stock browser since it allows me to access all my crome bookmarks and has working flash (.17 build from the adobe flash download archive site)
I think their is option to disable sleep of wifi in setting

I would try it anyway it may help, I see your scenario, while streaming or playing video tab should be awake anyway.
This is an issue when streaming music and the screen times out. You have nothing to lose trying it.
