Anyone aware of an android app which can stream music to an airport express?

I've done a search and found this project which is exactly what I'm looking for. However the project appears to be idle, or in the early stages.

Know of anything similar?

I am also looking for this. There is a program called Airfoil which enables you to stream any audio from a computer through airport express. I was hoping someone had adapted it for android. Haven't found anything yet =(

BTW I'm using EVO 4G on froyo

I also found this for running music to airport from a linux machine. I'm not a developer and don't have a clue how to do it myself but I thought it might be useful.

I would pay for this too and so many people dream about such an app, I don't understand why it does not already exist. I use my airport express with airtunes every day. It's so convenient.

Bill171 thanks for the try but that application only allows you to control itunes on a pc. I am actually trying to learn android programming just to try and get this. If anyone has a idea where to start or some source code from the pc software it would probably help.

recently found something called Twonky Server which is able to stream to devices that are UPnP or DLNA enabled, such as an xbox. Still trying to figure it out, but so far, performance is intermittent and it appears to be pulling music from the phone rather than the phone pushing music to the xbox (ie your phone becomes a server only, not a remote+server). If anyone tries this and finds another way to use it please let me know.

Also 2Player may hold some promise. Haven't got that one to work yet.

Click to expand...

Click to collapse

There are currently two Android apps able to do that, both available in the Android Market. TunesRemote is free, Remote for iTunes is US$4.99. While free, TunesRemote seems a little flaky to me, while Remote for iTunes is a little more reliable.

well, these two apps are cool, but not yet what (i think) we're looking for here. Remote for iTunes lets U remote control the iTunes app on your desktop, while TunesRemote lets you remote control an iPad or iPod ...
What we want is an android app sending music to an airport with no iProduct at all, no iTunes, no iPad, no iPod ... exactly as Airfoil does on a PC.
My interest in such a product is to listen to Deezer (or youtube, or any app with sound, why not a movie ?) on my android phone, and send the music to my stereo via wi-fi.

I'm also looking for this functionality.
I would definitely pay for an app that allowed me to play my subsonic from my phone/tablet to my airport.
