Turn your Android device into wireless headphones / wireless speaker. Stream any music or audio from your PC to your Android phone, tablet, or other PCs. SoundWire does audio mirroring (audio cast). You can use any music player on your PC or laptop like Spotify, YouTube, or iTunes and stream low-latency live sound over WiFi directly to your Android device. Also works over 3G/4G cell networks or WAN.
SoundWire Server is the program needed to make the application Android SoundWire work correctly. That is to say, it helps (and is essential) to hear what is currently playing on your computer from your Android terminal.
The program's few options allow you to choose the source of the sound you want to send to your Android terminal, and the volume you want it to play at. The only other options available are to "transmit" and to stop the transmission, and little else besides.
The few options, however, are not a problem, and in fact make it easier to use, in that you can forget about any unnecessary complications and instead focus on using your Android.
SoundWire Server is a simple program but an indispensible one if you want to enjoy all the benefits of Soundwire, an excellent Android app that you can also find on Uptodown.

How to use the app (Download)
When the server is running and the level meter shows music playing, start the SoundWire Android app.
1. Press the "Connect" button (coiled wire image) to connect to the server and begin listening. If the server address box is blank SoundWire will automatically locate the server. When the wire glows you have a good connection.
2. If auto locate doesn’t work, or you have more than one server, enter your server address in the text edit box before connecting. The server address (IPv4) is shown on the upper left of the SoundWire Server window, for example: 192.168.1.201. In some situations the address shown by the server may not be correct, you can find it using ‘ipconfig’ in a command window (look for IPv4 address) or ‘ifconfig’ on Linux. Note that the SoundWire Server does not choose or control its IP address, that’s determined by your network configuration.
You can use a long press on the connect button to do auto locate even if the address box is not blank. If you don’t hear any sound check that the level meter on the server shows audio being played and that the status is “Connected”. If the server connection is lost for more than a few seconds you may have to press the connect button again (use the "continuously reconnect" settings option to do this automatically). If you have trouble please see Troubleshooting Tips, below.
Before using SoundWire on your Android device you must install and run the SoundWire Server application on the Windows/Linux PC or laptop which is your source of music, web audio streaming, or other sounds. Raspberry Pi is also supported. Download the server at http://georgielabs.net
