I took a gamble and surprisingly don't regret it. My sound card died and this was the only option as a literal wireless sound card. You will experience delays! Also, to the creator, PLEASE fix sync and pitch mutations that occur at times. This is an amazing concept but should be free until fixed. A brilliant temporary fix is to open VLC, go to tools/track sync and set it to -1.00 after starting up the show. If it sounds high pitched then have quicktime open too. It fixes it. Cryptic enough for ya?

Great idea, but useless atm. Some lag is expected, but 5plus seconds makes movies completly unwatchable and thats the only reason to download an app like this, Music streaming apps are a dime a dozen.

To start, in its current state I wouldn't download this if it was free. Simple as that. While it somewhat works the very first time it is installed on my phone, when you start listening to the audio it is somewhat delayed, which isn't a big problem at all until it starts really dropping behind while it tries to get every single last bit of data instead of dropping it. The application doesn't contain much in the way of settings such as being able to set the port number, which can be changed on the PC client oddly enough. The app flat out refuses to connect to the PC client if you load it up any more than once, and you can't go to the options screen to change the IP if it doesn't connect, leaving me on a blank audio screen where pressing the info button causes the app to crash. The client won't run more than once either, unless the computer is restarted, as the port gets taken and it doesn't return it when the program is stopped or closed, forcing you to change the port, but since the Android app doesn't have any way of changing the port, or exiting from the audio screen there's little point in doing so. All these things can be fixed with a little time and effort put into it.

This is the only app I have found that does what I want it too however on my sensation it wont play in the background or if my screen is off which is a real big bummer.

On Samsung Captivate (Galaxy S). It mostly works but the audio sometimes cuts out. There is also a significant delay from the source. It seems the app cannot be 'backgrounded' and the stream stops playing when the screen is locked. If these issues are addressed it could be a really amazing app.
