I recently purchased an Android-based autoradio.
In the process of customization, I'm in the need of a (music) application to show streaming information about tracks playing over Bluetooth.
Obviously, I can use whatever app to play music locally saved on the autoradio itself, or to stream it online, e.g. Spotify, but I'd like to find an alternative to (at least) show what I'm playing on the phone and streaming on the car via Bluetooth.
Does anybody have any idea or tip?

I use MyNet to stream audio files from my QNAP NAS.
I can see all tracks without a problem. I can play my tracks too, but only just one.
MyNET plays only the track I select but does not automatically continue to the next one and so forth.
Any ideas why it will not play a complete album/folder/playlist?
I also have the same problem. If this program can't play multiple songs, playlists etc to my TV then is there am alternative.
I've just bought the Infinity and it has exactly the same problem. I was initially stunned that I could use it to stream music from my QNAP onto my TV, however only allowing one track at a time is pointless. It works fine if you play to the tablet, but fails multiplay when sending to another device.
This would be my most used app if this worked. Any ideas?
I have a Galaxy S III running CM 10.1. I can connect to my car stereo (pioneer) via bluetooth without a problem. I can take calls and I can hear audio over a wide range of products (TuneIn Radio, Pandora, Google Music, DoubleTwist, etc).
The problem I'm experiencing is what information displays when MP3s play from Google Music, DoubleTwist, Apollo, etc. For example, if I play songs from Google Music, I see all of the MP3 tags displayed fine; artist, title...you get the idea. When I play the same MP3s from DoubleTwist, none of that information shows up. I would just stick with Google Music but the music sounds much better with DoubleTwist's equalizer on.
What mechanism drives the information being sent through bluetooth? How can I get DoubleTwist to send song info to my stereo?
Any help is appreciated...

I have a SGS4 and am trying to figure out the easiest/best way to stream or control music on a remote amplifier via wifi. I have a solution now, but wonder if there is something better - I have a number of resources available:
1. Android tablet and phone
2. Windows laptop
3. blank raspberry pi (this will be my eventual route, but need something live and running with less than 1 hours effort - xbmc =fiddling)
4. iphone
Requirements:
1. be mobile and in control - walk anywhere around house/yard and manipulate audio played on house speakers
2. stream online music preferably from grooveshark, or other options: pandora/spotify ... typically these have everything i have in my local collection +more.
Currently I have 2 methods that are so/so:
1. Login to grooveshark on my pc, Q up a playlist, and hit the Broadcast on the grooveshark page
2. Open the Broadcast link on my tablet and subscribe to the broadcast to play, plug tablet in to amplifier
3. go to phone and open Grooveshark Remote app (free or $2) to add songs (play now or play next in Q), manage Qs and playlists, volume.
4. Go to pc and open gremote.com in *Chrome* to authorize phone.
That actually works quite well, I like Grooveshark, and its ios/droid safe, and music keeps playing even if droid dies or gets a phone call... but sometimes cant find the song I want and jump to another media player.
Method 2:
1. Pandora on my tablet plugged in to amp
2. Use Tablet Remote app to control, this allows me pause, skip songs, and adjust volume
This is a weak solution - no song searching or playlist selecting, roughly it makes noise come out the speakers in a pinch.
Seen:
Soundseeder - nice but only supports basic http audio or local content, no groove/spot/pandora
Allcast - limited to local media on phone or nas
Subsonic - not sure what this is, still trying to wrap my head around it, seems like based on music I own only
Other ideas???
I have a streaming player in my old car that I'm building and want to play Pandora to it. I find no way to equalize streaming music , or even set balance from front to back. Is there an app that I can run my Pandora streaming through so that I can equalize it ? Everything I look at is only for MP3s etc. .
Hi XDA Team,
Recently I ran into a predicament where my car's JVC Kenwood head unit stopped displaying song metadata and track information. It turns out this is because Spotify had dropped support for my brand of stereo, meaning I had to downgrade my Spotify version. Before this I used to be able to like songs, browse playlists etc all through my car stereo.
I then got to thinking about how music apps (particularly Spotify) like to drop features at a moments notice, stop working with older devices etc.
I don't have a good way to phrase this question, but can anybody think of an "audio bridge" that manages the connection between your phone's music player and your device of choice? Some third party app that could include support for various devices and apps? Even a custom developed Spotify application? Would love to hear any ideas as to how this could work or why it is/isn't possible.
