BubbleUPnP
BubbleUPnP is a feature-laden UPnP/DLNA control point and an
UPnP media renderer. This app allows users to listen to music and watch
videos on your network from external UPnP Media Servers.
There is a paid version available which removes the
limitations and ads of the free version.
Features:
- Stream music and videos from a UPnP/DLNA Media Server
(Twonky, Asset UPnP, any NAS with UPnP, ...) to an Android device
- Codecs supported for audio: MP3, AAC (without DRM), WMA,
Ogg Vorbis (with system decoders) WAV, FLAC, ALAC, LPCM (with custom
decoders). WMA support is manufacturer and model dependent. Vorbis may
not work on Android 2.1/2..
- Video playback is delegated to an external app
- Internet streaming with BubbleUPnP server over WiFi or
mobile connections
- UPnP tethering with BubbleUPnP Server (makes Media Servers
from a LAN visible on another LAN)
- UPnP renderer: control audio playback of your android
device from another UPnP Control point
- Ethernet support (Google TV)
- Download tracks, full albums and videos from your Media
Server to your android device (with covers if available), to make them
available in your favorite Android music and media player
- Landscape mode with full navigation for phones and tablets
- Now Playing screen with regular playback controls
- Mute / Repeat / Shuffle
- Editable playlist to queue tracks for playback
- Load and save playlists
- Shuffle Playlist
- Easily reorder tracks in the playlist
- Shuffle Library (shuffle tracks from your entire Media
Server)
- Scrobbling support
- Sleep Timer; play until the end of the track playing or
configurable in minutes
- Display album art
- Display artist info from Discogs or Last.fm (require
Last.fm app)
- Powerful UPnP Search. Search for tracks, albums, artists
and videos (exact support depends on Media Server)
- Bookmarks. Access quickly albums and folders
- Random track list generation. Discover forgotten gems in
your Library
- Swipe the cover left/right to go to previous or next track
- Multiple selection. Anywhere a list of tracks or albums
appear you can swipe many of them to apply a common operation (play,
enqueue, remove, download,...)
- Control Renderer volume with the hardware volume buttons
- Honeycomb tablet support
Verdict:
There is a lot to like about BubbleUPnP. If
it wasn't for the fact that the free version is limited to a playlist
of 16 tracks, BubbleUPnP would have scored higher.
 7/10
