[General Questions and Answers] trendspotter:
Soundcloud via DLNA/UPnP

First up an overview. [Update] It seems Eyecon and their Taglists app doesn't work any more.

Background: I have a friend who owns an Android tablet and currently plays via DLNA/UPnP music on his TV. What I know: he currently can only play his own MP3s from his home network and he found a solution to play Youtube videos.

My problem: I wanted to listen to artists on Soundcloud or Spotify the last time I visited him. It seems that for Soundcloud there is an solution according to what noddymini has posted already

I'm going to recommend that to him. I can't test it myself, that is why I hope you might take a look at it, as well. But besides Skifta I also found a possible solution today. I know I know. Signing up as a new user and the first post is about an app recommendation looks suspicious. But it isn't. Here is what I found with Google (google. com/search?q=Android+Soundcloud+DLNA) and (play.google .com/store/search?q=UPnP+OR+DLNA+soundcloud+&c=apps) today (besides these comments here) is this app named Eye-C Taglists created by Eyecon, via a news article written by Joe Sirianni on talkandroid .com. I'm not allowed to post links as a new user, so I'm quoting their article and the descriptions from the Google Play Store:

[QUOTE="Eyecon" app on Google Play Store]

Eyecon - The only app that allows you to search, preview and stream videos, music and photos from local DLNA/UPnP media servers and the internet, send it to your networked TV, audio device or UPnP renderer for a shared experience! Eyecon turns your Android device into your home media manager remote control.

[QUOTE="Taglists by Eye-C" app on Google Play Store]

Eyecon - Called "automagical" by Gizmodo, Taglists™ lets you create and share playlists that mix free music, videos, and photos from multiple places, including Facebook, YouTube, Picasa, and SoundCloud.

- Create a Taglist by tagging songs, videos, and photos with the same hash-tag

- Share Taglists on Twitter and Facebook automatically, and let friends add to your playlist to build your own shared channel that others can watch on any computer

- Play Taglists on your Android phone or use Airplay or DLNA to play them on connected TV, A/V receivers, iPod docks, stereos, Apple TV and more.

Tech Specs (the geeky stuff)

Eye-C plays on your Android phone with an OS Version higher than 2.1. It also plays on other screens and speakers using both Airplay and DLNA standards, which means it can play back on devices including A/V receivers from Pioneer, Denon, Yamaha, Sony and more, connected TVs from Samsung, LG, and Panasonic, set top boxes including WD (Western Digital) and Popcorn Hour, as well as Xbox 360 (with Windows Media Player enabled. Make sure it's on and THEN look for other players. When it works, give us 5 stars – this was hard!).

Note: Taglists now supports Airport Express on Android versions greater than 2.1. It doesn't work well on some Android tablets or some HTC Android phones (Eris and Hero) – we're working hard to correct this, and we expect improvements in the next few weeks.

And there is an app called "2Player" by Robin Davies.

And there is an app called "Private Dancer" from 'Apps by Ken'.

And there is an app called "DK UPnP /DLNA Player Pro" by JerryChen.

And there is an app called "BubbleUPnP" by Bubblesoft.

And there is an app called "MediaHouse-Pro UPnP / DLNA" by DIWAKAR BHATIA.

And there is an app called "aloba Player" by aloba ag, Switzerland.

Here is a video link from beet tv that I can't post as new member:

Here is another video link that I can't post as new member:

tvroi .net /support/viewbody_video .php?code=data1&page=1&number=10&keyfield=&key=

So it seems there are at least THREE app solutions for Android:

a) Skifta

b) Eyecon (as well as) Taglists by Eye-C

c) iMediaShare

I also just found the "PS3 Media Server"

As said, I can't link to this stuff directly as a new user, just search for it. And as said I can't test it myself. Going to recommend it to my friend next weekend and I hope one of these solutions plays Soundclound quite well.
