[pjd2011]

Just wondering if this feature came with 2.2 or if the info given by Google is for for the Gingerbread release. I've been waiting for this feature for a long time. Thanks guys!

you can do this with orb. music hasn't ever really been a problem. the only issue to streaming is divx/xvid movies.

go to orb, make an account. put orb on your computer. then, just make sure orb is running when you leave your house, and that you have an internet connection. then, on your phone, go to mycast.orb.com, log in with your account info. stream.

you can also stream non xvix/divx movies, look at your pictures, and look at documents.

The streaming capabilities are already in the OS, it came along with the cloud to phone notifications. The software is not done yet. Simplify Media is the company in charge of the streaming software. On their blog it says that they pulled their iPhone and desktop apps last month and that they will support existing accounts for at least 3 months. Based on that, I would guess we'll see the software mid-summer, probably around the iPhone launch.

For reference here are the 5 other active threads specifically about music streaming. There are plenty of others that mention it. Try searching next time.

gmote isn't for streaming, as far as i know, it's for using your phone to control music on your computer.

correct me if i'm wrong

You can stream while on WiFi, assuming the host machine is on the same network.

I highly recommend Subsonic for streaming music to your phone. You can use it from any web browser or the Android app. One of the best features IMO is that you can set up different users based on how you're streaming. For example, I have 2 users... 1 for streaming over EDGE or 3G with bitrate limited to 64kbps, another user for streaming over WiFi with unlimited bitrate. It also handles M3U playlists and saves the entire playlist (not just the currently playing song) so there isn't much skipping at all. Honestly, the only downside is that the dev hasn't yet implemented an option to shuffle songs.

+1 for this. Subsonic is very good. Also worth noting; you have the option of syncing your music to your phone (well, kind of... once you select an album or playlist the Subsonic app downloads all the songs to the SD card).

You're wrong. Gmote works for controlling your computer AND it also works for streaming music and video etc. over 3G or WiFi.

I use Gmote a lot and I highly recommend it for music & video streaming.
