Hi,
After a little help as per the title I wonder if it's possible to play my music collection which is currently stored on an external hd connected to my home router on my N7 without the need for my laptop to be turned on etc
Using an explorer app on the N7 I can see and access the music how I want as above, but I have to manually select the folders and tracks to then play each time rather than it already been catalogued within the player?
Is there a player or an app that can do this to make my collection available please?
Bricked/Rasbean N7
Have you tried bsplayer? It worked for me for video, but I eventually went the manual route with es file exp due to other requirements I had

I need a player or app to be able to see the music before I can do this if that makes sense?

Did you not say you could see and play the music in the OP, but only one at a time?:silly:

Yeah, sorry I didn't quite make things clear, the music is on a Lan based port via my wifi router, using es explorer I can see and play a track at a time, with the bs player suggested above I can play albums etc, but its library function is awful
I'm thinking this is a common limitation. I can see and play music on a thumbdrive via OTG, but have yet been able to find a way to play more than one song at a time even if I set the player to Random.:crying:

Poweramp will let you play from your thumb drive attached via otg and setup playlists! Don't know if it works over WiFi like the OP wants
To the op a Google search found this

I have the paid PowerAmp and could not do it. Have to try again, maybe I missed something.

If the external HD is connected up to your computer, you can upload your songs to google play music, which lets you stream your music to anything that has the app installed. Install the uploader on the computer and the app on the PC, very useful and works very well over 3G/HSPA. Linked it below for you.
Google play music
Thanks, I had a look at that, but I have a crap broadband where I live and it would take months to upload my music collection

@OP:
What router do you use?
Try putting OpenWRT on it if possible, and set up a dlna server (minidlna) with your collections.
You can access them afterwards with your N7 using any dlna app you like (UPnPlay or even xbmc)

Thanks I'll have a proper read through, but it looks like my router isn't fully supported yet
I know...random but i kinda feel like ranting and seeing who agrees with me
Htc sense music player is the worst! The whole layout is terrible and you cant even skip songs from the status bar!!! I was hoping sense 4 would have a better music player but its worse then sense 3.6 music player!!!!
Its ugly and a pain to navigate...
Samsungs is easy, just swipe left or right to change sections (artist, albums, songs...etc)
Sonys is also similar to samsungs if i remember correctly
Idk about lg or motorola
Even the aosp music player is better lol (not referring to apollo/whats in cyanogenmod)
At the very least they need to add song skipping capabilities to the notification toggle! To make it more user friendly also remove the stupid menu to switch between sections (artists, albums, songs) and make it more like apollo or,samsungs music player layout where you just swipe to the left or right
Anyways...thats it lol...,so who else hates the htc sense music player? Whats bugs you the most about it?

Hmmmm....just found this http://epiccm.blogspot.com/2012/01/porting-touchwiz-apps-for-cm7.html?m=1....gonna try it with touchwiz music player next time i have free time
Even though apollo is my current favorite and works on sense with no modifications...

Why would you use anything other than Google Music?

I have always liked sense music player... the ONLY thing i didn't like about it was the EQ... or lack there of.. hence why i usually use poweramp for bass songs and stock for normal songs because it sounds nice

haha sometimes the layout pisses me off though i had always had one problem with it.. could be when i deleted connected media but for some reason it wouldn't use the scroll wheel in certain "lists' ex artist, songs, albums and i couldn't go by #,A,B and that irritated me. But hey if it sounds good i wont be picky
Hi guys i was wondering if is possible to port the htc sense stock music player that came with the htc One to the google play edition rom. I kinda love that music player. Any other music player similar to that with the gracenote option that updates your album covers will do the work if it cant be done. Can you guys help me?

I don't know about a similar one since I use sense roms, but most sense apps are almost impossible to port because they require the sense framework to work. So to make the music player work a Dev would also have to port all the "under the hood" parts of sense. Its a massive amount of work for little pay out.

Thanks for the reply. I guess IMA have to go back to UberMusic.
I've got the GSM DE and took the 4.4 update last night. I'm curious if anyone knows if the Moto X has the requisite hardware and thus the KitKat support for low-power extended audio listening?
If so - why would anyone buy an N5?
The hardware is there, so I don't see why motorola wouldn't enable it.
On jelly bean, it doesn't even have gapless playback (with Google play music) so I don't have my hopes up.

Officially, our two low power cores only process audio input from the mic and gyroscope/accelerometer activity so it isn't reasonable to assume they do anything else.

The SOC its self has three DSPs on it. Two for the modem and one for applications. The one for applications is probably the one that 4.4 uses for low power audio playback.

That's an issue w/ Google Play Music, not the hardware itself.
Shuttle plays many of my gapless albums [which Google Play Music chokes on] just fine.
Spotify crossfades and plays without gaps just fine, etc.
Hey guys which do you prefer to use, the stock music player or Google play music?

I like stock too. Google Play Music works fine, but stock htc looks better.
