Just picked up a Nexus 7, what's the best way to stream music from PC? - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was debating nexus 7 or Galaxy tab 2. Pretty sure I've made the right choice. With no SD card I can't store my all of my music. What are some good options. I've used power amp the most on my S2 not much else when it comes to media players.
Thanks

You have to upload all your desktop music to Google's Music cloud first, then you stream it from the cloud. Doesn't sound like exactly what you want.
To stream directly from the PC, Audiogalaxy is what I used before and seemed to work well. I believe WinAmp does this as well.

Transformers movie?

Who's 7 came with the movie?
Mine did. I wonder if it's a rental, aka once you open it, you have 24 hrs to view it, or if you downright own the movie?
Its linked onto my youtube. When I went to the site on my computer it said it was purchased
K. Thanx
I can't find it. Where did you go to find it? It won't even show up when I search for it.

Mine is a streaming copy. Tested this by disconnecting my wifi. Maybe there's a way to download it, but I rather not waste storage space on my Nexus 7.
Mine is streaming also. Just open the google movies app and it should be there.

This is what I'm looking at.

To download it, click on the pin in the lower right corner when you open Google Play Movies.
Unfortunately mine did. I did not see that movie for a reason.

Don't download it if you plan on rooting it. If you do a factory reset say goodbye to it forever.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
I've downloaded it and also performed 2 factory resets and the movie is still there in my GP account.
I stand corrected... on my ego shift I rented a movie and downloaded it, when I did a factory reset it wouldn't let me play the movie or stream it from YouTube

Just to clarify, you got the $25 credit but not the movie? Did you get the free magazines and music?

I got the $25 credit. I found free 30 and 14 day subscriptions to a couple magazines. I didn't see any free music.

They all have that, you sign into your Google account and open play ,movies. Of course its streaming, these tablets have limited storage. Like said, press the pin if you want it local

I spent some of the $25 google gave me on some play store stuff including, plex, bubbleUpnp, and already had imediashare. For rendering i've got n7, galaxy nexus and an un55d7050 tv. Media players include vlc, mx player, and weeded out a couple that I didn't have much luck with.
What works best for me, the easiest, and least amount of dicking around is a combination of MX Player and BubbleUpnp. I'm streaming from an NAS on my home lan and everythig else is visible on the lan.
To make this work you'll have to screw around with handbreak (or at least I had to) to figure out what codec works best depending on what your streaming and to which renderer.
Good Luck!
Edit/ Twonky Media Server works really good as well, installed to my NAS......Yup, everything these days is pretty much dlna capable.

Nexus 7 as media server for ps3?

Hi guys just a questiom. I wish to use my nexus 7 as a media server for my ps3. I currently use bubbleupnp but whilst playing audio, the song cuts in and out.
Is there some kind of configuration I am missing? Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
HA! I wish it was possible but no it can't be done.
Well by using bubbleupnp I can. However like I said when songs play they cut out. It used to work fine before

Would like to show me how you're able to connect the n7 to the ps3? i want to try it out and see if I can fix the issue.
Well I use the app called bubbleupnp on the play store. As soon as you launch the app it acts as a media server. My ps3 and my xperia s and my laptop can connect to the n7. And stream view pics and music
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
Besides BubbleUPnP I've used UPnPlay, iMediaShare and Air Play to stream movies to the PS3.
Thanks. I'm gonna try that when i get home.

Media Scanner?

What media scanner does everyone use? Since our phone doesn't scan like Samsung or Sony I think.. Instead of just rebooting.. :/

I'm not sure I know what you mean...for like having say a new album show up in music player or something?

Do you mean what programs we use to sync media content to and from our device to the computer?

No.. I meant how sometimes pictures, music, ringtones don't show up unless you do a media scan or reboot the phone..

I haven't encountered that problem with my N4 yet...figured it had something to do with not having external SD, since its the same way on my N7. My music sometimes doesn't import it straight away but after I download since I use player pro I use it s scan feature and just have it set to my swarm folder and it grabs the music and album art right away.

Best Music Player

Hello all. I'm looking for your opinions on which music player is the best out there.
While I like the interface of the stock TW music player, there's one thing that bugs the crap out of me. If a band name starts with the word "The", the band falls in the T's. For example, The White Stripes are in the T's not the W's.
So what are your thoughts? I've tries Poweramp and it's decent. But I'm looking to try others.

I use poweramp more than anything, lots of options and good UI , heres the link in play srore https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.maxmpz.audioplayer
Also the full base mod is awesome, here is the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2301190 a great app to use also is faux audio sound

No , Best player is MX player

The last two days I've been looking for good music player too.
I had been using n7player because I like the user interface of it. However since I added my external 64gb SD card I have not been able to add music to it from the card. I can play music off of the card using that player but it can't locate it automatically. It can locate music off the internal storage fine.
I tried Power amp and had the same problem. Winamp was able to identify the music fine.
Im assuming its a format issue as I'm using exFAT instead of fat32.
At this point I'll say Winamp but I like n7 player the best

I use tunewiki. Its easier to use and feels more stream lined imo plus it has lyrics which is nice
Of all the players I've tried I still prefer Neutron. Just seems to sound better. Subjectively, of course.
El Mono
MPlayer
I like the stock player on the Samsung Galaxy S4, but Winamp sounds just as good and the pro version comes with EQ. I would suggest just putting the first letter of the song before the word "the". So, instead of "The Black Crows" it would be "BThe Black Crows". This will fix the order of songs, but it does look awkward.
Player pro here. It also plays videos

Are you talking about google play music, couldnt find anything else in the play store
Thanks for all the replies folks. So far, nothing has topped Poweramp, though PlayerPro is intriguing.
Have you tried Music Player for Pad/Phone?

Poweramp for me.. Im not gonna try any other players since I paid for the full version, I feel it wud b a waste if I switched and ditch poweramp. Besides no player has topped it for me as of now
