I want to use my Android phone as a remote music player. I want to be able to remotely control the music I play from a Windows app and have it output from the 3.5 mm jack of the phone. It would essentially be acting as a network radio player except I'd be controlling the music which may or may not be stored on a network share.
Can it be done?!

Hello, since this phone can share music, photos and video's trough DLNA I wonder if its possible to stream Spotify music from this device to a DLNA compatible device.
(Spotify is a program that streams music from "Spotify AS", so I dont have mp3 files that I can play trough another player, I need to stream the sound that spotify plays.)

I'm pretty sure it can't be done, well not with the standard spotify app anyway, someone might one day come up with a mod that allows it.
Hello together,
I use Windows Media Player and automatic generated Playlists and sync them with Windwos Media Player to my Android (SGS2). I could not find any music player that plays (shows) the wpl playlists, only the stock music player. But the Stock music player doesnt remember the last playlist / track / position in the track where I stopped and I love this feature.
I want to use this in my car. Connect to car-radio by bluetooth, autostart Musikc player (with Locale) and now I need a player with the requirements I explained above (and automaticly start playing music on app start if possible).
Anyone got an idea?
I am sorry, I just saw the wpl-files are converted into .pla files on the phone. So I need a player that detects and plays pla
Hi
Is there an application that can stream the sound sent to speaker or headphones to UPNP or DLNA compatible devices?
The idea is to stream what is playing in the android device to a device like Sonos
Thanks
A device like Sonos or a real Sonos? If its a Sonos, just download their app. Otherwise, just search the market, I believe there are some apps which do this. Some HTC and Samsung models even have their own app to do this

It's a sonos system but the solution could apply to any DLNA/UPnP renderer.
Sonos supports some streaming providers like spotify and supports playing music from a media or NAS server.
The issue arrives when using some streaming providers that are not supported by sonos (like a provider in Denmark called TDC Play) or that cannot send the sound via DLNA/UPnp (play to) . So the solution is then for sonos to support this provider or in case this is not possible to make the android system streaming what is being played through the speaker or headphones.
I'm searching the net for some time and so far could not find any app capable of doing this. There are apps that can stream music, video and pics stored in the android device but not streaming what is being played through the speaker or headphones.
Cheers

Sonos controller has this functionality now to play songs from your android device directly. Look for "This mobile device". Just get a huge sdcard and put your fav songs there. It would work for the most part.
Android controller apps that support UPnP server streaming to Sonos renderers
I have been able to use the android apps BubbleUPnP and Belkin MediaPlay (was Twonky Beam) to connect to my TomatoUSB router running its DLNA server and send the mp3 tracks on the flash drive on the router to my Sonos speakers as the DLNA renderer.
Most other android UPnP apps I tested either did not find the Sonos as a renderer or were not capable of playing music to a remote renderer at all.
I don't know if there is any open source code to help one to do this, though one of the apps (SlickUPnP) I tested was open source, but did not support remote renderers at all.
Could you find a solution?
Hi mtsales,
Could you find any app which can send the system audio to sonos speakers over upnp/dlna?
Hi there, Are there any apps that can be remote controlled by another android device to play music? As an example: I have two devices, a remote and a player and I want to queue up music on the player device using the remote device.
I have music files in PC, and I want to keep them there but want to play through my device. I have turned on sharing for these files and almost all apps on my mobile can detect and play these files but these apps act more like file managers/explorers rather than music players i.e they do not have options to play next track, shuffle, etc. So I am in search for an app which is a music player and its source of data is DLNA (or PC sharing, whatever it is scientifically called). Please recommend me one if you know.
