Streaming music from computer to Android

[smr8705]

Hello everyone, this is my first time on the board but I have been a Tekzilla and dl.tv fan for many years. I recently got the Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0 and I love it. The only problem is that I have over 200GB of music but only a 32GB microsd card. All of my music is on an external hard drive connected to my laptop. I want to stream the music from the computer to my Galaxy Player. I have tried many things already like audiogalaxy, bubbleupnp, orb, sugar sync, tonido, tversity, twonky, and google play music. The problem is that I want to be able to open the files with another app (poweramp), not a built-in player. I also don't want to upload all of the music to the cloud. I just want to be able to see the files from the computer's external harddrive on my galaxy player and play them with whatever app I choose. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thank you for reading.

Check out my new posting on Subsonic under Show Suggestions - it sounds like what you're looking for.

Hi, I'm new to streaming media but have found that MediaTomb or Twonky on my laptop serves my audio files and the MediaHouse app on my android can see and play them. Hope that helps.

We use Firefly aka mt-daapd. Firefly (available for most platforms) is a limited itunes type server. It uses the nslu2 running debian 6 like a charm. We just set our systems to connect via daap.
