I have created my own music app that allows me to see my music all the ways I want. I can currently then play any track on my device, and I can also switch my device to send it through Bluetooth to my living room audio system,
I would really like to be able to send my music through dlna to my living room audio system. At the moment, if I click on a track using esExplorer it does this through a Bubbleupnp server on my Android device. Can anyone tell me how to do it using my own App? I program in B4A - no clues from their forum as yet.

I would love to have an app like AirPhones, available on the iPhone, for the EVO.

It basically turns the phone into a wireless sound station. Does anything like this exist for Android?
So you want to be able to access and play music stored on a local network?

In a sense yes, what the app does from my understanding is allows any audio coming out of the speaker to be streamed. So you can listen to the same audio simultaneously on your pc and your phone. So it doesn't just have to be music it can be audio from youtube clips or videos as well.
Hello,
is there an app that allow me to stream the sound output form android to my pc or feed a icecast server?

I use Twonky Media Mobile. It will stream music to any DLNA compatible device. I am using it to stream the music from my Vibrant to my LG Blu-ray player (which outputs to my receiver) as we speak. It's a free app and it works well.
Just do a search for Twonky in the Android Market.
Something else you can do is use "Remote for iTunes". You can play your music on your iTunes from your phone. I literally just DJ'ed a party 2 days ago the entire night using this. I had my laptop hidden away and it worked awesomely.
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?
I find that a lot of the time that I am around my house that I require the portability of my phone but I want to listen to the podcast I just downloaded on my tf101, or my large music library. An app that could push audio from my tablet to my phone, and that would allow me to skip forward, back, and pause would be awesome. I just don't understand why it hasn't been made yet (or why I can't find it)
Thanks!
(P.S. I would be willing to pay for an app that could do this)
It can be done trough UPNP (Universal Plug and Play).
Your tf101 can be set up as an UPNP render as wel as a UPNP server.
Just search the market for upnp or dlna.
You can connect tf101 with bluetooth, cable. Doesn't matter.
Your phone can be set up as an UPNP controller.
The controller tells the renderer to fetch music from the server.
I'm using the same thing, except that my FreeNAS is serving the audio/video/photo's.
In your case the tf101 also acts as a server.
Kind regards!
As an example: Check out UPNPLAY or 2player.

You don't need to push the music to the phone to be able to control it from the phone.
You can just use this:

It makes makes your phone a media controller for your tablet.
thanks for the tips guys, but only one app on the market would allow my transformer to be a upnp server and it kept crashing on me. That droidmote thing is almost perfect, but I want to use my phone to listen to music that is stored in my tf. (Musicmatays on my tf, playback is controlled by phone, sound comes out phone.
Merry Christmas!
I'm looking for an app that will let me stream music that I have saved on my computer to my TF over my home network. I have my network all set up for sharing and everything. I've been using File Expert and more recently Antek to stream videos over SMB, which is all well and good, but it kind of sucks for music when I can only stream one file at a time. I'd like something that I can designate a network location as a music library and then have access to all of my music and so on and so forth. Does such a thing exist? Even if I have to use a program on the PC in conjunction with the app, that would be super.
I cannot use Google Music here in Canada (unless that has changed recently) or else I probably would.

What you need is dlna server and client. transformer already comes with program that supports it. It's called "mynet". On pc you can use windows media player to share you music.
Ps3 media server is the best PC side app ive used for this sort of thing, never tried it with the tf101 but works great with a ps3 or wd tv live.

Maybe Audiogalaxy is what you are looking for? It is what I use to stream music from my PC to my Transformer. It's very easy to use.
I use PlugPlayer. It picks up on any DLNA servers so no additional PC services needed. I also use subsonic for remote access away from home, but it does use a PC service.
