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.

How to sync music, pict from PC to HD7?

Can anyone help please trying to sync my music pics etc from my pc to hd7? I have windows 7 home

you have to instal ZUNE on your PC.. then open it and drop all your pics and music in zune windows,after you can drop what you want in your HD7

Thanks for that I'm trying that music won't drop into Zune. Is it particular place you drop music file in Zune?

You can either set it up to automatically sync through the settings, or drag the music to the lower left, where you see the phone icon, it'll then sync through the USB cable, or wirelessly if you have it set up that way

Either drag&drop, or configure it to automatically add each media type from your collection (music, videos, pics, podcast). The 2nd is a lot easier because you can make it sync automatically.

Transferring music from iTunes

As a noob to Android as well as the Atrix HD, I'm wondering if anyone can tell me whether I have to convert the mp4 music file format iTunes uses to mp3 before I use Welcome Home to transfer the music. I'd like to do this in one swell foop if you know what I mean. I also have no idea if I can transfer the ring tones I made in iTunes to this phone and if so, how do I do it? My phone will arrive today and I'm so excited to finally leave Apple and the closed OS ecosystem.
Also if anyone has any tips early on, I'd love to hear them. ATT has some good tutorials and the Atrix manual seems good too.
Thanks.

Have you looked into doubletwist?

Download Google music on your computer and sync with iTunes and boom music.. I have 30gb of music without having one song on my phone
Sent from my MB886 using xda premium

My laptop runs WinXP and I installed Music Manager and it seemed very buggy so I couldn't upload my iTunes. I also installed Double Twist and it easily imported my iTunes music but all the files show the lock (DRM). Are you saying that once Double Twist is installed on my phone that the Atrix running 4.0.4 will play the music without any problems? I was looking at the online manual for the phone and I see that Moto/ATT offer the Welcome Home apps for both PC and phone so that also may be the solution. I'm just trying to figure out if I need to convert the music files in iTunes from mp4 to mp3 so that they will play on the phone.. Any ideas?
Thanks folks.. much appreciated.

[Q][CLOSED]HTC Sync Manager & Music

Hi all
Just got new HTC One and lovin' it!
It was a tough decision moving from WP7 on a Titan but I'm generally very pleased.
The one thing about WP7 was it's synchronisation of everything without effort.
So my issue is that it would appear HTC Sync Manager is not up to the same spec as Zune when it comes to syncing music.
Don't get me wrong I can manage with WMP12 probably but I still can't buy tunes in Google Play Store on my phone and have them automatically sync to my PC music library.
HTC Sync Manager doesn't even accurately reproduce my PC music library. I have a playlist in WMP12 with 219 tunes in it and HTC SM sees only 134 songs in the same playlist. I have another playlist with 12 tunes in it and Sync Manager sees none of them!
Am I missing something or is it just how it goes?
I've done some searching of the forum but don't find any answers.
I've found out that HTCSM needs phone to be in USB debugging mode and Window 7Home 64bit needs it out of debugging mode otherwise it says it's disconnected. All seems a bit hit and miss to me.
If anyone has any tips I would love to hear them.
Thanks for listening.

Hi, seems you have the same pain as me.. i come from iPhone though..
While reading your post I could not help but think that Winamp might be the solution. It's able to index your library, from WMP as well as iTunes.. and has mobile sync capability (music only) .. I don't know if it works both ways like you describe ( download music from phone)..
Some apps let you make backups of music ( sandisc memory zone ) which might get you some of the way..
I'm new to android so I'm guessing here.. will listen in if someone else had all the answers

WinAmp
Yeah, I had a look at WinAmp but didn't see a way to sync both ways. I'll have another look.

I'm probably one of the few who doesn't care about any form of sync cos I'm a little OCD in that I need to know where each and every song goes so I manually transfer them over xD
But yes I do know that Android doesn't have a fully featured sync/backup solution.

The only way to get purchased music from Google Play onto your computer is to download them on your computer via either the Music Manager application (which I believe will only download your entire library... a bit bandwidth-heavy) or to load up play.google.com/music on your PC and manually download the files there. This is a Google Play thing, not an HTC thing. When you download music from Google Play on your phone, it doesn't download as a simple mp3 file. It'll be something like 12812814581271.dat. You could probably rename the file to an mp3 and it'd be fine, but good luck figuring out which song is which.

Google Music Manager
Thanks craigOr, I'm trying Music Manager out right now. It might do the job, we'll see!

Google Play Music Manager
Music Manager works for me. Synchronises whether music purchased on home or mobile web, Also has option to locally cache tracks played on mobile device.

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.

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.
