Hi.
Someone did this already? There is for some reason the possiblity to stream music vis desktop explorer - right mouse click to (play to) "non" ms certified dlna devices. But this is not working for downloaded xbox music pass wma files because the dlna device could not understand this.
So i thought of burning a cd and than recopy it to my device. This is "allowed" by law and than i would be able to stream it to my hifi.
Thanks for any hints.
Not sure where you got the idea that burning to a CD and then re-ripping is "allowed by law". Under strict reading of the DMCA, that's actually illegal, as it would circumvernt a DRM restriction. Of course, the DMCA is a **** law which conflicts with a number of other laws and is constantly being discussed (especially around what constitutes "fair use" exceptions to copyright limitations).
My downloaded-but-not-purchased music (from Zune Pass, but it's the same as Xbox Music) says it has "sync rights but no burn rights" which means the software will refuse to remove the DRM for burning to a CD. You could burn the DRMed file itself if you wanted to, but that wouldn't help anything.
If you buy the music from the Xbox Music store, then the DRM will be removed or at the very least all restrictions on it lifted.

this.
music that is acquired via the music pass is not yours and is simply rented on a monthly basis. there are ways around this, but it is in no way legal.
if you purchase music from xbox music, then it is provided in a DRM free mp3 format that can be burned to a disc or copied wherever you want it.
so no deal transferring my files to my car, my sports audio usb stick and my living room hifi equipment.
quite a high price for a music abo only for my pc ...
you could always get a zune, or other windows device
@oOp: No morese than if you bought a subscription to Spotify or something, no.
However, you can use a Windows laptop/tablet (including the Surface), or a Windows Phone, or one of the Zunes (even the pre-HD models), to play the music in your car. You'd need an Aux In port (most but not all cars have these) and a "ripping cable" (double-ended headphone cable, basically, typically only a few dollars even at rip-off prices). If your car supports Bluetooth audio (not the same as BT headset, which is more common) and you have a Windows phone/tablet/laptop with BT, you can play the music through that as well. Alternatively, I suppose you could get a car FM transmitter... As for your living room equipment, that's what DLNA is for. Get a DLNA receiver (they aren't rare, if nothing else an Xbox 360 works as one) and connect it to your amp (I'm assuming you've got at least one available input connection).

i got one but xbox music pass drm protected files cannot be played all other files i can.
Ah sad, sorry about that then. Mine offers to stream to my Xbox, which is the only DLNA receiver I have, but of course the Xbox 360 already has the ability to decode Zune Pass DRM.

Hi everyone,
I just bought my TF. I am just wondering if it is possible to sync my ipod with TF for the music. Does anyone know if u can transfer music onto my ipod using TF? is der any app like iTunes which I can use to add music to my iPod?

I don't have any Apple products or use iTunes myself but I highly doubt that you'll be able to perform a direct sync between your TF and your iPod (if that's what you're hoping to achieve) due to Apple's stance on copyrighted material. For example they deliberately disable file sharing on their iDevices via Bluetooth in a bid to combat piracy (e.g. music). Thus I would imagine there's a similar block of sorts in place with iTunes in terms of not being able to transfer stuff directly from iTunes onto a non-Apple product. Unless someone else can post a workaround of some description you might have to take a long-winded route to transfer the same stuff that's on your iPod/iTunes onto your TF.
If however you're asking about software that performs a similar function to iTunes but which is built for the TF, you could try downloading the Asus software from their website and see what it can do. I've never really used it before so I'm not entirely sure what it offers.
The only other thing I can suggest is to simply plug your TF into your computer, which should be detected as a mass storage device as long as you have the correct drivers installed. You can then simply click-and-drag your music from your chosen folder onto the TF's internal memory.
Hope this helps.
[EDIT]: Oh, 100th post .
the ipod music format will not play on the TF. If it is not copy protected (DRM) you can export to cd then load on tf. Now you see why they are so disliked. You bought the song and tbey still want to tell you what you can listen to it on.
I use iSyncr
It's specifically for getting your iTunes stuff, including smart playlists etc. onto an android device, it's two way as well. Works great and is well supported with regular updates.
Can't recall how much it was, but I've not regretted the purchase.
It's not exactly syncing with your iPod but only one step removed.
Cheers.

Thanks jonitfcfan and Rumbleweed for ur reply. all I want to do is transfer music from TF to my iPod. I do not need the other way around. so I dont think the question of file format comes
@movingpixels: so can the iSyncr do this job? Just want to confirm before I purchase it. Thanks
Use doubletwist... I think it is free

None of this is true. The iPod music formats are mp3/AAC, both of which play fine on the TF. Even iTunes music store purchases have been DRM-free for years now. You can drag your music onto the TF (or SD or MicroSD). You can also sync your iTunes library to Google Music or Amazon and access them through those sites (or through their associated apps).

MP3 ? I thought that iTunes converted whatever audio you imported into M4A/AAC format before sending it to your iDevice?

Looking for an app that will stream all system audio over airplay (example would be airport express).
An example of why this would be really great would be for Apps like Rdio and Spotify. By having an application agnostic way to stream it would work for numerous apps. I know there are players out in the market that do play to airplay speakers, however the audio has to come from them (IE would not work streaming based applications).
Anyone have any thoughts or know of any apps that could do this?
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using XDA Premium App
I would think not. I honestly don't know what's so good about airplay. I have bluetooth and my ipod touch can play music to that with no problem!
Anyway, you probably could find a way to do it however, since it isn't cooked into the OS, you probably don't have a hope.
Oh, and Air Play doesn't work with every ipod touch app either, unless you know a very special trick (and perhapse a jailbreak).
I am sorry about this.
Try Doubletwist.
What i like about airplay is the integration into my home theater system. My home theater has numerous available sources and 3x sets of speakers for different sections of the house. This allows me to play what i want where i want it.
If I could get some sort of bluetooth device that has a range of 150 feet (as i can be on the deck or anywhere in the house) then that works. Any suggestions?
I thinks its a very low likelihood that anything exists now.
The base parts are there: the bluetooth audio redirects system audio, and other apps stream to airplay. So its a matter of combining them.
aibo: I was under the impression that doubletwist will play to airplay only if the audio plays through it. IE music local to the device. If doubletwist would allolw music played from the rdio or spotify app that would be what i want.
also very interested in this. looking for an app that can play ALL phone audio over airplay.
yes, bluetooth is great, but has the distinct disadvantage of shorter range than wifi (used by airplay).
anyone know of anything?
DLNA
Your stereo probably has DLNA support, so you could try finding an app for that. DLNA is almost identical to AirPlay. I don't know why Apple made their own system instead of just implementing DLNA.

DLNA poses the same problem. There is no method of pushing *all* sound through DLNA only sound from the DLNA enabled apps. I too would love *some* systemwide method of streaming other than bluetooth, but I have yet to find one. One that does audio and video would be perfect. The HDMI cable works great, but I have broken 1 cable and 1 adapter because the point where the mini HDMI goes into the wire/adapter is the weak point in the event of cable flex.
As to the question of why Apple made a new system it is pretty simple. Apple gets a royalty from every iDock device sold as it is their patent, the same holds true for airplay, they get a royalty for every airplay device sold. They feel they have the market share to force users to purchase these devices. And let's face it, for whatever reason the Android manufacturers missed the boat on this one. If Android had established a standard A/V port on every device we too would have a mutitude of docks to connect our devices to, but it never happened. That is the one and only thing I wish we had from the Apple world.

So... forgive me if someone has already asked this, but I couldn't find anything. I have some movies I've purchased on iTunes on my laptop. I put them on my 16gb microsd, but they don't play on my surface no matter what. I've also tried several apps. My question is, have any of you found a good app for this, or a program I could run on my laptop to convert these to wmv or mp4? (I'm not ready to drop money on software like that, and wmv is preferable.) Anyone else have the same problem? Thanks in advance!

Uhhh, yeah, that's why I asked this question. I need to know if there's still a way to play them on my Surface. I've been trying to get around DRM with my legally purchased movies (I have like 15, and am going on a road trip). It would be nice to play them on my Surface instead of lugging around my laptop.
This is why I don't "buy" DRMed media. Legally speaking, what you're asking for is actually against federal law in the USA (the Digital Millennium Copyright Act prohibits the removal of DRM) even though what you're asking for certainly *should* fall within the grounds of Fair Use (legal exemptions to restrictions of copyright law). In any case, there used to be programs that could strip the "FairPlay" DRM from movies. I don't know if any of them still work, though. Once the DRM is stripped, Surface *should* be able to play the actual video/audio codecs without additional third-party software.

Oh ok bummer, but thanks!
There are definitely still apps which claim to be able to do it. I'm skeptical of such software, and would recommend running a thorough virus scan and not running it (or the installer) as Admin if at all possible, but you may as well try them if you don't mind a bit of risk.
That said, please don't support DRM "sellers". You aren't buying anything; legally speaking its more akin to renting, and the DRM is an attempt to enforce that. You can't do any of the things that you normally would be allowed to do with purchased items, such as modify them (for your own use) or re-sell them / gift them / pass them on to your kids (even if you didn't maintain a copy yourself, in keeping with the usual requirements of copyright law).
It was a great day for the music industry when Amazon started selling DRM-free MP3s, and now nearly all online music purchases are DRM free. It's only a matter of time before the same happens with video.

Yeah unfortunately, I've tried pretty much every virus-free software out there, but they all want you to buy them for like $40. Heck no! I'm not giving them my credit card! I don't know how much DEM free will come to movies, seeing as the movies companies regulate that. Oh well. Oh, and btw if there is mac software to do this that anyone knows of, let me know. I could borrow a mac if needed... I don't really have a problem removing DRM since I legally purchased it and am just trying to take it along.

I have been trying to get this feature to work for a while now, Microsoft has been no help because all of the tutorials involve using media player on desktop win8. The option comes up when you select a music file in windows explorer under the Play tab in the ribbon. It is supposed to allow you to stream to dlna devices or other computers on your network. I have the proper media sharing options enabled on both my win8pro laptop and the surface, but I can not get it to ungrey going either way (play from laptop to surface or surface to laptop). The normal tutorials involve creating a playlist in media player then using the play to option in it, which is still grayed out on my laptop. The surface can see the laptop over the network, and the laptop can see the surface as well.
Later I am going to try turning on the server option in services on the surface and see if that works
Anyone else gotten this to work? It just seems like such a great idea, have your laptop plugged into the stereo and then play stuff to it remotely from your surface. I wish that Microsoft had implemented this as robustly as the play to Xbox option because I don't want to buy an Xbox just to stream music while I have other computers that could do that just as easily.
Make sure the media sharing services are running and permitted through the firewall. Beyond that, I don't know. I've never actually heard of the functionality like you describe - PlayTo is intended for devices (i.e. "not computers" where a Windows RT tablet is a computer, but an Xbox 360 is a device). There are (much) cheaper DLNA receivers than Xbxoes, incidentally.
I use the play to now and again, I stream video files to my DLNA TV. Though I tend to prefer to use my laptop for this due to its support for mp4/mkv files. Just ensure the device ur streaming to comes up in the devices part of the metro settings, and as mentioned, ensure your firewall isn't blocking it.

Unfortunately, it has to be a Microsoft-certified DLNA receiver for Metro apps to be able to share to it. There are a bunch of those, but it's not quite as easy as just getting a DLNA receiver. You can use Play To to a non-certified receiver from the desktop though.
For the original poster, to be able to Play To a laptop, you need to enable an option in Windows Media Player and have that open. The option is "Allow Remote Control of my player" under the Stream menu (in WMP12 at least).
@jhoff80: Cool, thanks for the tip, didn't know about that feature!
@Doggydude: Be aware that Windows RT doesn't include Media Player, so it may be unable to receive DLNA. The other direction should, in theory, work after enabling it as jhoff80 suggested.
Thanks for your input guys, I will continue to work on native play to, but courtesy of a pm from neoncell who doesn't have full permissions yet there is an app called play to receiver in the store that should do what I want fairly well.
@jhoff80 I have that option enabled
@feygor I haven't checked if it shows up in devices, il check that out thanks. Both my computers and router's firewall allow it I believe
@gooddaytodie I might look into a receiver, but I'd rather just use existing hardware. My stereo and tv are too old to have even basic internet support. I wish that Microsoft had implemented other device options other than just an Xbox for native media streaming in their music and video apps.
My Samsung TV is not Microsoft certified. Does that mean I need this Play To app/program to stream video from my tablet to my tv? How do I get it?
im fairly sure the answer is no, but does anyone know if it is possible to use the play to feature to send streaming media in a browser to an xbox?

That means you have to do it from the desktop. Right click (tap-and-hold) on the MP3 audio file or MP4 video file that you want to play to your TV, and it should give you the option to Play To, with a callout menu that lists your TV. That will give you a small set of controls to play the video or audio file, with playlist functionality there as well. (Looks like they just pulled the necessary parts from WMP).

I am looking to ditch my cable TV. I don't want to pay the monthly $90+ for a lousy selection of channels, most of which we either don't watch or that we can stream live online. I watch a lot of pro sports and I am able to stream them from various websites free.
Can anyone suggest how to best set up our 3 household TVs - and with what equipment so that I can make the transition to getting rid of our cable a reality? Currently we simply use HDMI lines to connect a laptop or phone to a TV to stream whatever we want on a big screen. Would it be best to designate 1 device for each TV in order to stream whatever we wish to stream? Would it be best to buy an Amazon fire stick or cube? Or what about a Roku? Apple TV or Google Chromecast?
No idea how to best sort this out. I do know that there are some very inexpensive Internet cable option available these days. For example: XXX
Please advise if you can to assist with this transition. THANKS!
I'd say get an Android TV device like Chromecast with Google TV or those Onn Tv boxes from Walmart for each TV. Since they're just android at the core (fire tv is also but they don't have gapps) you can do a lot more with them and you usually get the extra Chromecast functionality. If you have OTA TV channels nearby, you can get a USB TV tuner and hook it up to a computer or raspberry pi with Plex installed and it'll let you access and record shows from any device with Plex. You'll need to get Plex pass but it's not too expensive. (Not an ad for Plex I just use and like it a lot)

I haven't had cable since I lived at home with my parents. I use Netflix, Disney+, and Hulu (through Spotify). I also use the below mentioned setup.
My setup (which I don't condone unless you're a scumbag) is a Raspberry Pi running a Plex server in Docker, connected to an external 8TB HDD. I then have a Nvidia Shield connected to my living room TV and use this to stream all the media I have downloaded on my Plex server. The cool thing about Plex is that you can also connect to your server with phones, tablets, laptops, Firesticks, Rokus, etc. You can also connect to it remotely; I can stream my home server to my work laptop and watch all the Media. With Plex you can also share your "Library" with friends/family. You can create an account for them and give them access.
I don't use Cable TV any more complete on Online streaming for all of my devices.
There is always the Tivimate app on CCwGTV, combined with a (preferably legal) lPTV provider of your choice.
(I normally don't condone piracy, but if you are a person in the world with very limited income, and TV is one of the few things that gives you happiness in tough times of your life, for example, I'd understand why one would do it when the global wealth has been redistributed to the wealthy 1% of the 1%...)
Good luck finding a solution that works out for you.

Have a look at an Android streaming box or as you said a Firestick 4k Max.
Install Kodi and visit https://www.matthuisman.nz/
Matt Huisman is a legend for what he brings the IPTV community. All my TV is via the internet and I couldn't function without Matt's awesome work.
A good place to start anyway.
I'd start with a Chromecast w/Google TV or a NV Shield. If you have a smart TV, it may be OK on its own (my Sony 900e is getting pretty slow compared to an external Chromecast). Easiest solution is YouTubeTV, but the price per month keeps going up. I dropped it when it went above $50/month. I have Prime, Netflix, Peacock, etc

My suggestion as well, however streaming from most iptv providers ISNT legal period. They stream illegally to paying people. Buying Tv from the source such as Comcast or Spectrum etc is the only truely legal way of doing so.
