Nice work dude

Very nice app, for a new (super new dev) I mean, dude, 2 thanks and a like 5 post, and already A article on the Portal at XDA. Just installed your app from the store. Loaded ITunes on my mac, selected HIFI. and VOILA. portable tunes.
Very very cool. Keep up the Nice work.

If you at looking for help on the Graphics / Icons ect.. (I know you have to concentrate on Coding, so really I don't expect a huge interface) PM me. This is a nice little project, and would like to help. and Yes, I know Eye candy is not everything.

I'm running Kyan Rom on my Galaxy SIII (SHG 747m, North American Variant)

Android-HIFI:

Apologies in advance if I'm being dense here; but when you said that this app functions as an AirPlay receiver/server, were you saying that this app has the ability to both receive and send audio? In short, does this app have the ability to stream audio to another AirPlay capable device? The reason I'm asking is this: I have sold/discarded/given away ALL of my Apple devices and replaced them with Android and/or other equivalent devices. However, even though I got rid of my Apple devices, I retained a large number of 3rd party manufactured accessories. Among these accessories are a pair of AirPlay speakers that have just been collecting dust since I went 'droid. So, using your app, would it be possible to use one of my Android devices to stream audio to my AirPlay speakers?

Thanks in advance for your time and consideration. Take care and have a good one!

Thank you,

I tried it out on my HTC Desire but it was very stuttered and the audio kept cutting in and out. After I paused iTunes, the music continued playing on the phone for a good 10 seconds before the stream stopped. I don't know if it's due to both the stream source (laptop with iTunes) and the phone are both on the same wireless network and it's congested, or if the Desire is simply too old to be able to do real time decoding of the stream. I'll play with it some more but I thought you might want to know. Let me know if you want a logcat or anything.

From what I saw, no. It is a receiver only (it is a server in the sense that the airtunes client, the player, connects to it and streams audio to it. It just waits for connections).

The reason I'm asking is this: I have sold/discarded/given away ALL of my Apple devices and replaced them with Android and/or other equivalent devices.

Try checking out Airfoil by Rogue Amoeba. The software runs on Windows, Mac OS, and even a CLI version of linux is available (although that might be just for the speakers). It supports streaming to Airplay enabled devices, including Android HIFI.

Not working on one X

Hi Android-HIFI,

App works like a charm on my xoom. installed it on the one x and it just says starting. It does not say "waiting for connection". My one x is stock.
Any reasons for this.
