Newbie Question Re: Streaming Music (1 Viewer)

[quixote23]

I'm installing aMPdroid primarily to stream music from my HTPC. I haven't really gotten into the guts of it yet. While I'm able to successfully browse and play mp3s stored on my HTPC on my Samsung Galaxy SIII, what I'm wondering is if I'm able to use this to do a direct 'beam' of whatever song is playing on the HTPC directly to my phone. That way I can use it as a secondary speaker system if I happen to walk out of the room or whatever.

Is this something that aMPdroid is capable of doing? Or would I have to cue up both the HTPC and my phone to start playing the same song at the same time?

I't not possible to play media on 2 devices at the same time through a single play command.

You can however use your android device to mirror the speaker output of your PC using this program,
