Hi guys
I have GW3 LTE.
Is there any possibility to stream music (any service) directly from the watch without a phone connection ?
I dont mean play downloaded music but direct streaming.
I need it for jogging without my phone and i dont want to download it previously .
Thanks
Have you tried Spotify?
I also have used Spotify and it worked very good for my usage...
Use the web browser to go to your favorite station and stream it that way. I've done it with Soma FM stations but doing so depletes the battery relatively quickly.
Spotify doesn't work without the phone....

Supposedly you can with premium. But, I use iGear Radio pro. You can manage the stations online and play radio stations thru the data connection on your watch without a Bluetooth connection to your phone
You can use Galaxy Audio Player. It have function to play streams https://galaxystore.samsung.com/geardetail/FTUDba5gYD
You can do with Spotify but with the premium version. Unfortunately, you cannot do that with the free one. I knew a few programs and I have one I am currently working on. I am a sound designer and software developer and I am currently working on a new project where I try to implement cool sounds made using some free VST plugins. My main concept is making a good playlists (user editable) which will be streamed 24/7 online so the users don't need to download them but just listen directly from their portable devices.

you can do this with orb. music hasn't ever really been a problem. the only issue to streaming is divx/xvid movies.
go to orb, make an account. put orb on your computer. then, just make sure orb is running when you leave your house, and that you have an internet connection. then, on your phone, go to mycast.orb.com, log in with your account info. stream.
you can also stream non xvix/divx movies, look at your pictures, and look at documents.

The streaming capabilities are already in the OS, it came along with the cloud to phone notifications. The software is not done yet. Simplify Media is the company in charge of the streaming software. On their blog it says that they pulled their iPhone and desktop apps last month and that they will support existing accounts for at least 3 months. Based on that, I would guess we'll see the software mid-summer, probably around the iPhone launch.
For reference here are the 5 other active threads specifically about music streaming. There are plenty of others that mention it. Try searching next time.

gmote isn't for streaming, as far as i know, it's for using your phone to control music on your computer.
correct me if i'm wrong

You can stream while on WiFi, assuming the host machine is on the same network.
I highly recommend Subsonic for streaming music to your phone. You can use it from any web browser or the Android app. One of the best features IMO is that you can set up different users based on how you're streaming. For example, I have 2 users... 1 for streaming over EDGE or 3G with bitrate limited to 64kbps, another user for streaming over WiFi with unlimited bitrate. It also handles M3U playlists and saves the entire playlist (not just the currently playing song) so there isn't much skipping at all. Honestly, the only downside is that the dev hasn't yet implemented an option to shuffle songs.

+1 for this. Subsonic is very good. Also worth noting; you have the option of syncing your music to your phone (well, kind of... once you select an album or playlist the Subsonic app downloads all the songs to the SD card).

You're wrong. Gmote works for controlling your computer AND it also works for streaming music and video etc. over 3G or WiFi.
I use Gmote a lot and I highly recommend it for music & video streaming.
New guy to the Android world. Looking for an 'all in one' app that will play my audio and video collection on my PC. IE, one app to play both audio and video. I've seen variations of VLC but noticed mixed reviews. All suggestions are welcome. Thanks in advance.
Personaly y love real player bet. it just makes some videos to play smoothe when other players dont even open the videos. It is all in one, the only bad thing is that (i thin) there is no external sd support)
Orb
I really like Orb Live. I have it installed on my server at home that is on 24/7. There is a paid app in the app store for it but before you get too excied it doesnt seem to be working well at all with my G Tab. I do still love it though for my Evo and any other computer I can access it from. It streams all of my music (it attaches itself to my iTunes library and playlists) and my movies and photos...plus it gives me access to the files on the computer too. Also one cool feature is it streams my TV tuner I have on my server. Its only basic cable but its nice still since I travel a whole bunch for work (I am on my way to Paris right now) I can watch all of my local channels remotely.
Hey fellow xoom users, i found this app that finally solves the problem of media streaming from windows to android devices. All u have to do is download the app https://market.android.com/details?id=com.skifta.android.app&feature=search_result
and create an account and download the desktop client, and fiddle with your windows media player settings and it works beautifully for streaming movies, pictures, and music. It works on local wifi and over public networks when u sign up. It works with any DLNA device too, and an xbox 360 and ps3 for streaming. It is the only app that works for this. If u have an alternate media player for unsupported formats like avi it even plays those files through that app while streaming. and from my use, it streams very well over any half decent wifi, but still requires wifi. i tried it on my EVO 4g and even oven 4g it would not stream, so thats the only downside. ENJOY!!!

Looks awesome, I was just looking for something like this. I'm going to give it a try. Thanks
down side is that unless you tagged your movies for streaming during conversion you can only download from your NAS. Can't beat cifs manager for no holds barred streaming
Love the new Lumia 920 WP8, but there is no Amazon cloud player app yet, also if you navigate to the cloud web player everything is fine until you hit play and it just hangs.. no sound.
Also, the only other streaming alternative that offers control and NO monthly subscription fee is Subsonic and that will no play audio from Bluetooth or the 3.5mm jack!!!

There's also Nokia's Mix. Which is free to all Lumia owner. I've been playing with it a little this morning and so far seems to be okay. [It might not have all the latest/greatest or some other off bands too though].

It looks like Subsonic got a WP8 update on 12/3. I personally use Last.fm as my free streaming option but Nokia Music ain't half bad either (and it plays/controls music from your collection.

That new Subsonic update is very good.. there is an issue with low volume but i think thats intentional. crank up the music and when a notification sound comes through on bluetooth it blows your eardrums out.
the real issue is wifi shutting down when the phone goes to sleep. Trying to listen to more than 5min of audio and the phone just stops playing through subsonic. Turn off wifi and it plays great all night but eats up data.
Any ideas how to fix this one?
I prefer Slacker Radio myself.
There are a lot of great music streaming services out there. Let me know which one(s) are you using with your personal notes so that I can decide which platform I should switch to.
I am a long time Spotify Premium user, who utilized Spotify connect religiously. But as we all know Spotify doesn't really put in a lot of effort on their Android app. So recently I have been having issues with playback (crashes in the background) and as Spotify is only making their app worse with every update on Android, I thought it is time to switch to another platform/go offline. What are your thoughts and experiences with the current music streaming services?
YouTube Music is very good app.
I have YouTube premium so I use Youtube Music and Google Play Music.
I use YouTube and Spotify - the best apps for me.
spotify ofc
I use Spotify. JRE podcast is moving to Spotify so that's a plus.
YouTube
YouTube
Made good use of my .5tb SD card and a 220 gb CD/HDCD collection that's ripped to hdds as wav files.
Over 6000 songs means I don't get bored of the music just listening at times.
Poweramp does an excellent job of managing playlists and playback. It's graphic equalizer that allows unlimited saved presets to be saved by song/album/playlist plus settings/playlist backup makes it a complete and unparalleled Android player solution.
The online sources don't cover a lot of what I want and are a pain to use. Worse I can't dial the sound in and/or saved multiple EQ presets.
I use Spotify to listen to my music
i just have all of my favorite songs on a youtube playlist. saves me money.
I dont let anyone choose music for me, never. So no need for any stream online platform. My music is with me on my SD card 128GB. more than enough!
I will never depend on the internet to access music...
I am a Spotify user but can you tell what's the difference in this??????

Same as I was 5+ years ago. YouTube and a YT to Mp3 converter.
Nothing can ever beat FLAC
