Which one of these music players would you choose for your Android?

MediaHouse, UPnPlay, Skifta, ArkMC,

BubbleUPnP, Pixel Media, or 2Player 2.0.

My new wireless network bridge (Linksys RE6500) has wireless music playback capability and Linksys recommends the above listed players for DLNA streaming.

I'm also hoping to pick up the extensive music collection on my 3TB media server with my phone, and push that to the Linksys from within the same player as

well.

    George:

    I have an iPhone 5 George and I like it just fine. I need it for setting up wireless networks in extra large houses, typically 8,000 to 20,000 square feet. If I use an HTC or a Samsung to check signal strength and set up accordingly, the access points are spread too far apart for the Apple phone. They're weaker with wifi than the Androids I've had so far. If I set distances between access points using the weaker iPhone, everyone is happy.

    As for this project, I'm only needing a new player because the Linksys bridge doesn't work with the Samsung software. I can use my phone to stream through my blu-ray player or directly to my TV as easily as if I was using Apple's Airplay.

    Yahoo user:

    All of my CDs, DVDs, Blu-rays and even my old home-made family videos are transcoded and stored on my server along with family pictures back to the 1930s. I can watch anything from any TV, computer, tablet or phone in the house. I can even access it when I'm away but generally hotel networks aren't very robust. I'm 59 years old. If I can do it, so can you!

    I'd recommend play music since you can sync all your music, albums, etc. with your Google account and back everything up in case of a lost phone or somthing. It's also organized very well so it should work out just like your previous phone's stock music app. Good luck!

    None of them, I would ditch the android crap and get an iPhone to use with iTunes. That way all the streaming capabilities you mention would be possible and integrated
