Subsonic Music Streamer one of the truly great android apps

Reviewed in the United States on July 14, 2014

I have used this app for a number of years now on android cell phones. I purchased the original version of the app but this is now a free app to all which is great. I also have the Subsonic server on my desktop computer which is also free. This app allows one to listen to all of the music files on their own home computer over their android device no matter where they might be. This can be via the android phone carrier itself or over a wifi connection. I have a huge extensive collection of music files on my computer and Subsonic plays them on my android device everywhere I go with no problem. Subsonic is truly a great app for music lovers to be able to listen to their own music anywhere they might be. Be sure to down the free Subsonic server app for your home computer as you must have it as well as the Subsonic Music Streamer mobile version for android for the Subsonic Music Streamer to be able to work on your android device.

i use subsonic daily (continuously, really). i recently bought the android app and it works great! i have used subsonic daily on my work computer and at home (with the fantastic roku app) for a couple of years and love it! i got so sick of pandora deciding i like led zeppelin just because i listen to a buttload of dead. i can set friends up as users to stream music as well as to download or upload. i have had poor results playing video, but may not have it set up correctly and since i never wanted it for playing video anyway, i didn't really care, and gave up on it pretty quickly. i do remember the initial installation was fairly challenging for this 50 yr. old but so worth it. there is a small required donation after the trial period, also totally worth it. i'm not sure what the bad reviewers were expecting of this product, but i have nothing but good things to say about it.

NOT worth a DIME!!!!

Subsonic, I personally think is not worth the money. I got subsonic on my tablet thinking it would be great, but I was 100% wrong. If amazon is going to make a music streamer, the least they could do is use grooveshark support. Subsonic doesn't have half as much music as grooveshark.
Before you purchase subsonic, think about the money your wasting for nothing.

Mostly great

From the descriptions and screenshots, I was under the impression this app had the built in ability to stream flvs from your SubSonic server, the way it does mp3. Unless I'm missing something, this is not the case. For video, it opens the jwplayer video page in your browser. My android device, however, can't play flash video in my browser for some reason (plays the sound, but image is black). I'm not blaming this app for that fact, but as I said, it gives the impression that the video player is built into the app and it is not.

Also, folders with lots of videos would not retrieve file listings from the server. It'd continuously show network error. There may be an option to adjust the timeout (I think the server was taking too long to provide the list) but I didn't notice one.

For music/podcasts though, which is what I need it most for, it's fantastic!

I've been using Subsonic since it was in Beta. It is an excellent server / client application for listening to your collection of media. Yes, it takes some computer skills to configure - especially with your Internet router.

It was kind of a bummer having to PAY for the app on Amazon for our Kindles especially since it is free everywhere else, but it was nice to have for our kids to listen to their music on our media server from their Kindle.

The perfect Music Streamer

Reviewed in the United States on November 26, 2012

The Subsonic streamer is far better than using iTunes to load onto your Ipod or Iphone. Its compatible with multiple platforms, and will cache until your memory is full. You can access the music and play it on your mobile device or you can play the music on your computer controlling it from your device. You do have to have a little know how in terms of IP address, but ask your geeky cousin to set it up for you. The designer asks for $10 for the software and its so worth it. With that $10, he will even give you a whatever.subsonic.org address to make it easy to remember where to access your music. I give out a guest username and password to friends so they can download my mp3's. I am not never in a situation where I ask, hey have you heard that new song by Soundgarden, and cannot pull it up. It is the one solution music player!

It works now though and I like it. That said

Installing this was a headache. It took me and 2 other computer literate friends 3 days to get it up and running. It works now though and I like it. That said, I'm not sure I would've paid for it had I known.

Works fine

At time point of time, it works like it supposed too. A couple of odd cliches here and there but it will always play your music library
