2Player Network Music Player
The 2Player Network Music Player is a full-featured network
music player for Windows and Linux home
networks. This app runs on the Android platfom turning your Android
device into a remote controller that
can play music from and to network media devices throughout your home.
This application makes use of the "Play From" and "Play To"
capabilities of Windows 7, and the XBox 360 media players to seemlessly
move music from where it is stored to where you want to play it. The app
also works with many devices that support the UPnP and DLNA Media
Player protocols, DLNA televisions, network
storage devices, bluRay players, and many other living room devices.
Whilst 2player is not certified as DLNA-compatible software by
the Digital Livingroom Network Alliance, the app does work with the majority of
DLNA devices.

Verdict:
Whilst 2Player has been optimised to work
with Windows 7 computers, we found that it also works seamlessly
with our range of Linux based NAS servers. 2Player does not try to
complicate matters by supporting photos or videos; this is simply the
finest free Android music player available. The support forums are,
unfortunately, full of spam.
