Stream music from Android to MC 18
« on: July 06, 2014, 06:16:35 am »
Hi Folks,

I'm new to streaming audio but I would like to do just this from my Google Nexus 5 (Android 4.4.4) to my PC (Windows 7 64 bit) on which J River Media Center 18 is installed. I don't know if this is possible and I don't have a clue where to start.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

My digital music system is based around the Intel D2700MUD motherboard running Win 10 Home 64 bit. Output is fed from this to an asynchronous USB Cambridge Audio DacMagic 100. Music files are stereo 24bit FLAC up to 192kHz. I use J River MC version 21.

As of right now, MC won't be part of the equation. The easiest way is to use bluetooth and the windows sound drivers.

Hello Bryan,

Not to worry. I have found an Android app that does the job.

Yes, no problem. It is called AirSong. It uses the browser on your PC to stream the audio. AirSong will give you a numerical IP address, which you insert in the address bar of your browser and off you go. Google Play Store provides a list of compatible browsers. I have used AirSong with Chrome and Firefox.
