I building app which would allow music streaming from multiple sources (youtube, vk, grooveshark, dropbox).
Does app store have any special policies about this?

I have put all my music on Google's Cloud based Music Player. I used to have it on the microSD card and then using AllShare I played on my Phillips Streamium WiFi speakers. But now that it is in the Cloud I don't know how to do that (and yes, I wish I had checked before uploading). I have noticed that Twonky has settings for music in the Cloud, but I can't figure out the URL for my music files at Google.
Has anyone been able to move their music to the Cloud and stream it to other devices?
Hi Folks,
I am new to WP8 and I have the following question that I have not found an answer for:
There is one thing really missing in WP8 - it is ability to play mp3 streams in the background.
You can open mp3 stream in internet explorer and it will play. But you can not switch to any other screen - music stops playing.
I have not found any applications that allow you to play mp3 streams in the background also. Usually players allow you only to play music from library or from hardcoded stream. So is there any way hidden way to do it?
There are definitely APIs to do it; even Windows Phone 7 could do this. For a random example of an app that uses background streaming, see Pandora.
It's also possible to stream music from a web page while the browser is not in the foreground, using HTML5. For example, both Pandora.com and m.SoundCloud.com work fine. Typically web-based streaming only allows play/pause controls on the global media control, though you can of course switch back to the web browser tab for more control.
If you're looking for an app that will play music from an arbitrary stream that you pass it, I'm not aware of such an app but I haven't been looking. It's possible in the APIs, and there's probably an app that does it...
I just released a new Chromecast related app, that let you stream your cloud Google Music uploaded by yourself and from the All Access subscription (including Radio) to any UPnP / DLNA device: XBMC, DLNA TVs, PCs, WDTV Live, Xbox 360, Sonos, Android, various hifi gear from Denon, Pioneer, Onkyo, and many many more.
The app is named "Cast To UPnP/DLNA for GMusic" and you can find all the details and a video in this Google+ post
Really great app. Great execution.
would this be possible with youtube as well?
Does not work anymore with new Google Music App...
I'm running a Sprint Nexus 6 with a home build of CM 12.1 (base CM 12.1 with some minor cherry picks, but currently none involving Bluetooth). I drive a Honda Fit LX (base model without the touchscreen and integrated Pandora). When I stream audio to my car via Bluetooth on any audio app other than Pandora, the song's metadata (title, artist, album) is displayed. Pandora refuses to display the data. The other apps that I've tried that work are Amazon Music, Music, Play Music, Spotify, and even my podcast app Pocket Casts. All of these show proper metadata. Other AVRCP functions do work within Pandora, such as play, pause, and skip. I have even go so far as to use Pandora Patcher to force AVRCP functionality. I haven't used it for any of its illicit functions (I'm a Pandora One sub), so please don't discuss those here or provide links for Pandora Patcher, as they're against forum rules.
I plan to revert to stock temporarily to see if it's an issue with the Pandora app or CM's Bluetooth implementation. I was wondering if anyone else was seeing this issue, whether they we also using CM or another ROM, and most importantly if anyone would happen to have a fix.
Can anyone who uses T-mobile with Music Freedom comment on whether streaming music over Android Auto is included in their unlimited streaming from participating apps?? I'd assume it is included since its essentially mirroring the app to your AA head unit, but I want to be sure because I might switch to T-mobile and I'm banking on saving $$ with this feature. Thanks
Doesn't matter if you stream over AA or not. The app just needs to be part of Music Freedom's approved list. Play Music, Pandora, Amazon, Spotify, Rhapsody, and Iheartradio can all stream without affecting your data. Join Magenta...
Also keep in mind that album art that these apps load up will count against your data. This applies to the supported app in general; not just in android auto.
So streaming the music is included but loading the album art counts against your regular data?
