Description

Music streaming capabilities include:

• Stream music to another Android phone or tablet that is docked to your stereo system
• Stream music to Google Cast compatible devices (Chromecast, Chromecast Audio, Google Cast speakers, etc.)
• Stream music to other DLNA/UPnP compliant media renderers (Windows Media Player, MediaMonkey, foobar2000, Kodi, Samsung TV, etc.) **
• Stream music from your NAS and other DLNA/UPnP compliant media servers (Windows Media Player, Plex, Servio, MediaMonkey, etc.). **
• Local media streaming / playback is supported

** DLNA/UPnP is available only for devices running Android 4.03+ and I’ve only listed the DLNA devices we’ve tested against.

Key Features

• Gapless playback support on your local device (Android 4.1+) and those DLNA devices that support it

• Equalizer with bass boost, virtualizer, loudness, and reverberation effects. Supports use of the built-in device equalizer as well (if available).

• “Device Share” is a great solution for those that regularly dock their phone to a stereo system. By sharing a device, it will become discoverable to others connected to your WiFi network so that the music can be controlled from a separate Android phone or tablet. WiFi-enable your stereo system without having to buy new equipment – Dock.Share.Cast.

• Intuitive interface; use the cast icon to select the device you’d like to stream music to. Easily browse music available on each device by selecting from the drop down list in the toolbar.

• Stream music stored locally on your device to Chromecast and other remote devices

• Play Queue management; to view the play queue, drag the currently playing song up and the play queue will be revealed. Drag and drop to re-order songs, remove songs, and set shuffle and repeat options.

• Volume Control - Use your phone/tablet volume keys. If you’re casting to a remote device you’ll be controlling the volume of the remote device; if not connected, you’ll be adjusting the local volume. As of Android 5.0, you can control the volume of the connected/remote device from any screen (including the lock screen). Prior to 5.0, the volume of a remote device can only be controlled while you have the app open.

• Once connected to a WiFi network, the DsCast application will automatically discover all devices that you can stream music from/to.

Device Share Tips (Streaming music to another Android phone or tablet)

• The WiFi network you are sharing from must support multicast broadcast and cross device connectivity when sharing a device; must public WiFi networks will not support this.

• Max Volume Control – When docking a phone to your stereo system that you intend to share, set the stereo to the highest volume you want to allow. You’ll be able to take the volume to mute through this application, but no louder than the volume set on the stereo system

• Battery Consumption - When possible, keep the shared Android device that is docked to your stereo plugged in to conserve battery strength. In addition, consider turning on the setting to keep the screen on while the device is being shared; this greatly improves WiFi responsiveness on some devices.

This application contains LGPL software -- the Cling framework is used for UPnP/DLNA support -- http://4thline.org/projects/cling/

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

5 ★Love u - develoer
4 ★Please add the ability to play music from playlists. Only thing missing.
4 ★Just purchased the app and one thing I'm already missing is Folder view, my library doesn't have accurate mp3 tags unfortunately. Could it be added? Also selecting the shared folder instead of searching for all media would be better and faster IMHO.
5 ★Great app
4 ★Network part works fine, but needs more full featured player-better playlist/queue management, ways to add all songs to the queue, play all/shuffle all, repeat modes. The connection takes tone to establish. Also please give description about difference between free version and IAP version.
5 ★Simple very easy to use
5 ★Simple and easy to use
5 ★Great app, couldn't be easier. Just install and go.
5 ★Simple and reliable. Great app!
4 ★I should like a 'Quit/Exit' option in the menu that closes the app. Sometimes I cannot stop the app without faffing around. Also I have paid for the premium version but it is not recognised as such when trying to install it onto my 2nd tablet.
3 ★The app itself it great - does exactly what I wanted it to, and worked right away - no faffing with settings or having to search for my NAS. However - and the reason it didn't get 5 stars - it absolutely kills my phone's battery. It went from 50% to 20%in half an hour, and the phone was red hot. Have had to uninstall it.
4 ★Perfect app... Would have given another star if it had contained some more features such as equalizer, sorting, saving playlists, dual volume control, option to play on device and cast simultaneously etc., Tried many apps but, only this one worked!!
