Gmote has a remote music feature. Allows remote play of music files, won't be a remote speaker though. Available in the Market for free.
I'm also looking for something like this, I would like to use my android phone as a wireless receiver at home so that I can plug my phone's audio out into my amp then stream whatever audio is coming from my laptop out of the main speakers.
The droid 2 comes with an app, that does somethins similiar to this, called DLNA. It is not a speaker for the computers audio player, but it will play the music you have stored on your computer through the phone.

Thanks mate, exactly what I needed, perfect suggestion.
Apart from that: I think you can also stream your music from your Dropbox! (click)
Thanks for the links but I am really looking for something more 'passive' that turns my phone into something like an Apple "Airport Express" while I am at home and it is on charge.
I mainly want to do this to use some streaming audio services that I can get on my laptop but not on the phone. Such as Spotify free and any flash based audio players as my device is Android 2.1 only :-(
There is an app for iPhone called AirPhones which does this. Any ideas for Android?
I'm also looking for something like this, something that will allow me to play all sound and not just music.
I understand what you guys are saying but I do not know of any app that does this yet. Currently, apps like homepipe, a gmote, use an app on your computer to create a server connection that your phone can connect to and then browse files. DLNA is the same thing but licensed. For what you guys want, you would need an app that creates a server connection but now to a file directory but instead to the audio card/audio out. I'm unfamiliar with how hacked airport express' work (the ones that allow you to stream any audio not just iTunes) but I was under the assumption that it worked at the programs I mentioned above, except the server app was itunes itself. essentially, iTunes could play music on your computer but it would then share the data over the wifi connection to another device (the airport express) which had access credentials. If I'm wrong someone please correct me...
bumping this really old thread.
still looking for a way to transmit pc audio to android over wifi.
anybody have any recommendations or news?
AirBubble, allows your phone to act as a AirPort Express. So you can stream music from iTunes, iphones, ipads, etc to your phone and then play it out via the headphone jack. As far as I know there are no apps which allow you to stream audio from PC.
I'm very much interested in this kind of app.
Specifically I want it so that I can watch Hulu/Netflix on my large TV in bedroom, but have the sound come through my headphones so I don't wake the beautiful lady next to me
Any help here would be much appreciated.
Anyone want to comment on quality?

Our best hope is a port of Pulse Audio... I may look into this, but I'm admittedly over my head on that one... I'll see what I can do.

I am looking for the same thing,
Using an old android phone as Wireless Audio Receiver and Hook it up to speakers or Headphone in Bedroom, either Via Bluetooth or Wifi.
To receive audio from PC or any other wifi and bluetooth capable devices
This is a work in progress, but is highly complicated due to the differences between standard Linux and Android. More here: http://arunraghavan.net/2012/04/pulseaudio-on-android-part-2/
Soundwire
There's an app in google store called 'soundwire', that's a solution. It streams any sound from a notebook over wifi to an android device. Anyway I'm looking for the same kind of app which uses bluetooth for that. Would b nice not to have to use a router to stream sound from computer's sound card to my android phone.
I can't believe this isn't standard. This is the kind of tech that makes people smile and isn't impossible with the DLNA standard. Anyway, just crazy that this isn't out there and all over the place.
I'm in the same boat and want to clarify things a bit.
There are two vastly different things here. One is a bluetooth wireless music adapter (bridge) and the other is a DLNA capable server/client that plays from the server to the client but is server controlled.
Bluetooth is fine, but short ranged and crappy sound quality. We all already have wireless in our houses and Apple does this perfectly fine with the AirPlay, so why are we interested in bluetooth?
Most DLNA servers run and have media on them, then you connect a client which has the speakers and play from that client, streaming the audio to the client. we want a way to stream from a device (server) to a client, but that is server controlled, almost like pushing music to another device.
looks like AirBubble might be on the way there as are some others that set up an AirPlay speaker connection. Now we just need to find an app that will search for these AirPlay speakers and use them for out audio instead of the build-in speakers or headphone.

okay got this working, mostly.
The apps I'm using are:
AirPlay/DLNA Receiver which is the receiver to connect to the speakers and
Twonky Mobile which streams your media to the receiver.
Basically set up your Android device and plug in the cable to your stereo or headphones. Start the AirPlay/DLNA receiver. Then use the Twonky app to stream whatever is in your other Android device to the receiver. After setting it up Twonky should find your other device and let you stream to it.
Pulse Audio is not a piece of dlna software. Pulse Audio is an audio subsystem of Linux, an alternate to the subsystem in Android. Pulse Audio has the native capability to broadcast lag-free audio for free across a number of connections.
Dlna is more just a file sharing protocol. It certainly can be used to play music files across a network, but it isn't nearly as capable as pa (pa sends pure audio over a connection and costs nothing to either system).
There are some dlna clients that integrate pa for a well-rounded media solution, but they are fat from one in the same.

Hey ladies and gentlemen,
I have a tablet installed in my car as the audio headunit. The current set up has me turn on my tethering on phone and have tablet connect to that. From there I can run pandora etc and play music. My question is if there is an app that I can just stream the pandora music etc from my phone to the tablet (basically turn my tablet into a2dp). Thanks guys
The one that comes with Samsung Galaxy S2 is very good. It can stream music using blue tooth.

Which app? Also I know how to stream to Bluetooth devices that are built in cars. But whenever I don't know how to stream to tablet. I can send files etc. But my hope is to have Pandora app recognize tablet as a2dp device and stream to tablet when connected.
Why not just tether the tablet to the phone and stream directly from the tablet?

App to stream A2DP audio FROM iphone TO android tablet used in Car
I too am looking for an app on a tablet (IF IT EXISTS) that can have any A2DP device stream bluetooth, stereo audio TO the tablet, to be able to play the audio through its headphone jack. Idea here is for people that take an off the shelf Galaxy Tab 7 or the new Nexus Tablet and use it as their infotainment center in their car, cleanly installed behind a bezel, self powered, etc... does this app exist?

Is there a way to steam audio out over Bluetooth to another Android device?
The application is my gs2 connected to my car audio via the Samsung car dock. A friend has their phone and wants to play a song to my car speakers. Can they connect to my phone via Bluetooth and use it as a headset?

Most likely its not possible, BT is not a high speed, or fast transferring connection. If it did work, it would probably suck.
Just toss the other phone on your dock.
Hey all,
I'm wondering if it's possible to play audio on my Android devices (SSG Note 2, TF701, etc) through an ios enabled USB receiver? Specifically, my car has a usb port meant to plug in an ipod/iphone to stream music. It seems only to work with ios devices. Is there anything I can do on the phone/tab to spoof the ios and thus play audio in my car via the USB? The stereo does have bluetooth but I'm really looking to use this for videos to eliminate lag.
Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks!
My truck has an iPod cable hidden in the center console but I've not used it since my iPhone 3GS. I'm wondering if a device exist that I could plug into that cable to accept incoming Bluetooth audio from my Nexus.
I want something to act like an iPhone (but work) to stream music via Bluetooth from my Nexus 5 but the stereo receiver sees it as an iPod/iPhone.
Bluetooth options that plug into the front AUX port and have to be charged are not what I am looking for. Too messing.
