I would like to see an app that makes the Hero into a remote control for Spotify. It would be great to control the music from anywhere in my apartment without the need to walk over to my computer.
There is a similar app called Gmote that controls VLC video/music playback, so doing the same with Spotify should be a possibility.. I hope..
You could just have Spotify on your Hero and use headphones.
Found this:

Will test it when I get home from work, and give you all a review.
Works perfect on my Hero with MoDaCo 2.3, thanks for the tip
I got the opportunity to test Remotify this weekend, and it does exactly what it's supposed to.
There is a simple interface with play/pause, previous/next and Volume. The remote also shows you what song you are playing.
Setting up the remote is easy, as the server is a single exe-file, and you only enter the pincode for the server.
The remote itself searches for the server, so it's easy to connect.
Remotify is simple, and does exactly what it says.
Remotify with Donut (Android 1.6)
Is it still working for you guys under Android 1.6.
I can install client and server OK but the client side is frozen and the control buttons are unresponsive.
Thanks
For you windows guys we have just released a video demo of remoteless, An iPhone remote for Spotify on Windows.
It got search, browsing, volume-slider and all kinds of features. We are working on a mac port, but 1. march the windows version will be released.
Nice video demo on front page; http://bit.ly/a-less
ReSpot
ReSpot is a Spotify Remote control for android - probably the most feature rich remote for Spotify available.
Visit http://h3x.se for more info.
It requires a premium spotify account.

I've long since turned in my Tilt for a Motorola Q9H but had to share with you guys. For some time now I've been on a quest to find a mobile music streaming application that would give me a nice interface and access to my home music collection. Social.FM desktop and mobile client is not quite there but head and shoulders above anything else I've found. The mobile client is a one time $20 but if you're interested I can help you get access to a promo copy. The desktop client is free. There's a station list on the mobile with access to a hundred or so genres and sub-genres.
Once you install the desktop client and point it to your local music collection it shows up on the mobile. Too easy.
What is wrong with Orb? it is free, supports video, live TV and webcams as well as music.

Ummmm...
ORB is nowhere close. I tried it. The web interface is kludgy. And why would you want to have to switch to a different application to change to a different album or artist. The interface of the Social.FM client is iPod like. One of the things about Orb that was frustrating was that the streaming format was not supported in all players, or at least the one I wanted to use. It's been a while since I totally dismissed it so I can't remember the details. I tried them all. The best streamer was 40th Floor iPlay with the server option running on my desktop. But the interface on that is made for a stylus. I have no need to use a stylus, ever.
Incidentally, that's why I gave up the Tilt for the Q9H. And I need to be able to type with one hand which is not possible with the Tilt. As soon as the I-Mate 8502 comes out I'll switch to that.
Don't get me wrong. The Social.FM player is not quite there. You can't pause and there is no AVRCP support. I imagine that pausing is coming soon. I just had a full workout at the gym while streaming from my desktop at work and had zero skips. I found an interview with the CEO of Social.FM (http://www.onuiq.com/) and he said that they're using Ogg Vorbis encoding. Says they can get full quality over EDGE.
You really should give it a try.
I see its mercora. They are the ones who wanted to charge you for streaming your own music collection. Major fail.

Sounds pretty cool in spite of its short-comings. It will be great when this concept is fully dialed-in.

Well, they must have seen the light cuz right now I'm streaming from, not only mine, but my buddy's desktop for free.
Side note:
If I had my way I'd be streaming Slacker.com to my phone. They have, hands down, the best content available. The stations (genres/sub-genres) are put together by "music experts". And I can vouch for them. I even wrote an application to sniff their ID3 tags and automatically download full quality MP3's (theirs is 128kbit) and then sync that to my iPod automatically with ml_iPod. They have aspirations to release their own hardware player but not only hasn't that happened but I think it's misguided. I would [so] pay to stream their content to my phone.
Hey, on my S60 phones I always had Bemused setup to control my winamp playlist which them was streamed to Real or shoutcast. Was wondering aside from the html remote, has there been a app on the G1 to control winamp and see the song list etc? Thanks. Kinda hoping a bemused is around for G1 heh.
Hi,
Just wondering if anyone knows of a remote control application that can Control Spotify that's running on a workstation - Over bluetooth or wireless...
Just like Salling Clicker does for iTunes - shame it don't work on Android!
Windows or Mac? On a Mac Spotify responds to the same shortcuts as iTunes, so I think an iTunes remote would work.
Windows
Sorry, forgot that detail..
Windows
Will give it a go though You never know...

I'm using an app called Tunes Remote which is very handy.
Connects over your wireless network and lets you control iTunes, it brings back the album art as well to display on your phone.
Hello
I have installed Remote Tunes and everything went fine except that it doesn't find any tracks. It does displays the artists and albums, but when I do a search it keeps searching but doesn't return a result.
If I click play then ITunes starts playing the current selected playlist. It also shows the current track playing on my Hero. So the communication with Itunes is working.
I use WinXP and the latest ITunes 9.0.1. I also have 2500 tracks in my ITunes
Update : If I long press an artist or album I can play the "invisible" tracks.
Anybody any ideas?
Thanks in advance
Is there an app that works to stream music from my pc to my GTab? I would prefer iTunes type interface; something with genre selection and playlists.
TIA
Try upnplay, in the market - it should work with any uPnP compatible server. It's really the only "open" option we have, at the moment.
The only issues I've had so far is that it doesn't like Vorbis files, but I am probably the minority here as far as Vorbis support is concerned.
Audio Galaxy will stream from your PC. You do run a program on your PC and it only does mp3s.
Sent from my Viewsonic 10" GTab...
you guys rock. thanks so much. i just finished putting 2.4 on one machine and one more to go. both are presents.
I realize I'm a bit late to the party, but I use Subsonic. Flawless streaming from my pc to my android device.
Regards,

+1 on Audio Galaxy
gmote is good for streaming over wifi and also streaming when outside of your own home when you setup port forwarding. not only does it stream audio it also will stream videos if you use rockplayer as the video player.
because of this thread, i downloaded audiogalaxy yesterday. im already addicted. i was in my truck, watching my sons soccer practice in the rain, using my gtablet (while tethered to my droid) to listen to whatever music i wanted off of my home computer.
technology never ceases to amaze me.
I like Subsonic. I don't like the fact that AudioGalaxy uses a centralized site instead of allowing you to go straight to your computer. With Subsonic, you run everything so you have more control (but some people find setup harder).

I love having access to my entire music collection at any time in any location. My gTab was delivered today and this will be one of the first apps I install right after throwing VEGan-tab on it.
Does anyone know of any apps that you can remote into the gtab from another pc? like for instance with logmein you can remote from you gtab or from a computer to another computer and control the screen remotely. Wondering if anyone has found any app that can do that but from Computer TO gtab. Like control the gtab screens with your computer.
or even if someone knows of anything that can be used as a remote to control the songs playing or the volume on the gtab from say your phone or computer.
I know there is a program called webkey that i've used to control my droid from my pc not sure if that would work ill give it a try tonight on the gtab.
There's also Paw Server, if you can get that from Market.
If you just want to control music, there's a Gmote app. It's not a full on RDP type thing, but gives you controls for playing media that's on the Android device.
Jim
P.S. I would think that Webkey, that you mentioned, would also work.

Ill have to look into Paw Server, i know of gmote i use that all the time to control the music on my computer via my droid. I try my best not to store music directly on my gtab since the memory isnt too too big trying to save some room and there and not clog it up, but it would be awesome if i could control the songs playing say on pandora from my phone.
