Read music on my computer using Wi-Fi ?

I'm looking for an application that can read music and use playlists located on my computer in Windows Media Reader, using Wi-Fi. My files are all MP3 and WMA.
Can anybody help me ?

Skytunes works via wifi, or 3G

Thanks for the info. Skytunes looks interesting and uses Adobe Air and seems to be able to stream music using WiFi. Unfortunately it does not handle WMA files and a good chunk of my 60+GB of music is WMA...

Here's something interesting...
I just navigated from my phone to a folder on my PC (using EStrongs Explorer), and clicked a WMA file, to see if I could stream it. The file played after about 2 seconds, but the screen was blank so I've no idea what was playing it...?
I'll keep digging...

For rooted phones with custom ROMs (or just custom kernels with CIFS support), and for users that know a bit UNIX and aren't afraid to use Terminal:
Search Development forum for "CIFS mount".

I've been playing with Twonky to serve media from my PC to my Revue. There's also a Twonky app for Android, and so I can now stream from PC to my Nexus...
Works great, kinda expense for PC client (I'm still using demo), and no idea of supported formats, but maybe worth a look?

Subsonic is a good app.

Good afternoon everyone and thnaks in advance,
Here is my situation I have a Xoom Wifi and would like to stream media from my WHS2011 to my xoom. I guess I need an application that allows me to connect to my network drives and such. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks

Please help, how to view my video files (movies) via wifi

Can anyone tell me the best way to view files,video(movies),pics,music over y wifi network. I've tried various apps like upnp along with mobo player and codec add on but it only plays certain files most of my media is not accesable.
I used to use a laptop and watch everything perfectly from my pc downstairs using the windows library share if only was as easy with my xoom. when i try to acces the library the xoom see's the library but only short video content of all my video camera clips nothing is organized as is on my pc. Please help as there doesnt seem to be any info anywhere, Thanks.

I used mobo and then mx player. I tried BS player and for me it works a lot better. My pics and music are in picasa and Google music.

Install subsonic on your desktop, then the subsonic client on your Xoom. Best streaming solution I've found.

This is the correct answer. I highly recommend it.

I use zumocast. Works great for me. For local files, Rockplayer lite plays everything I throw at it. There is also a pre-Alpha release of VLC for Android out that I use sometimes.

This piece of technology is a huge hit and miss, works when it wants under it's own terms. Wasn't working for me before but it is now to my laptop, but not my tv, and only with video

Best music software for transferring music from itunes to phone

Doubletwist even though it claims mtp support my htc one can't get songs sync perfectly. Can someone try using doubletwist and sync a playlist and tell me they don't receive an error? Htc Sync manager takes forever to load and the playlists it imports from itunes duplicate everytime I start the program. Any other options besides drag and drop? I prefer not to use google music as I want my tracks coming my my itunes.

Everything I have goes into my Google Play Music account and I just stream it from the cloud.

Hey thanks for your response. I started using iSyncr and it works flawlessly with itunes. I can sync my playlists with ease!

Find the iTunes dir and transfer them?..

that is drag n' drop but i want to sync my certain playlists which would be a pain if i were to drag and drop them after i happen to update my playlists on itunes

I think you found your answer with iSyncr. It's what I use and it works pretty much flawlessly.

+1 for isyncr. I've tried em all and it's the best. Dev also has a music app that's called rocket player that sync your playcounts, starting positions and basically everything an iTunes desktop client does. Check it out. Pretty neat if your an iTunes user.

As a user of both iSyncr and doubletwist, I can agree and say iSyncr is superior. It's fast and easy.
