There are quite a few threads about Spotify for Nexus Player, but I was hoping to find the apk of the Spotify that pops up on Google Chromecast when you cast to it. When you put Spotify on your Nexus Player, it's very hard to control and you might as well use your phone or tablet to control it anyways. At least with the version that comes on Chromecast will show the album art. Has anyone looked into this? Would it work the same as on Chromecast, to where you can cast Spotify to your Nexus Player? Maybe edit it somehow to play in the background when you return to the home screen like you do with Google Music?

The Chromecast version is a website being casted as that's how Chromecast works. There's no APK as it's not an app.

I currently use Musicbee on my laptop - any suggestion as to a great one for the NT?
PowerAmp is my favorite android music player, but it has a bit of an issue with the status bar being on the bottom of the screen, making it hard to click on certain settings. I just use Google Music on it for the time being.
Google music here, can't beat the streaming.

Google music in conjunction with Pure Music App. The pure music widget has a back button which I find useful.

Not sure if this has been mentioned but I just picked up a HTC flyer last week and just found something pretty cool. Well, I have a Sony Google tv bluray player and just noticed you can stream your music, pictures, and movies directly to your bluray player. Someone needs to get fired on the google PR team I'm constantly finding new ways to use my device. Apple is always letting their sheep know every little new feature. But hey I'm happy.

Apple has to plug every little feature so their sheep can find them.
Google knows we can find it on our own. Plus, its fun to find something new.
I have the Logitech Review (Google TV) which I am having fun with. You can use your Flyer as a TV remote using the Google TV Remote app.
If you have a media server on your network, you can stream from it using Google TV too.
I am sure that I have barely scratched the surface of what the two devices can do.
FYI:
You don't need a Google TV device to stream your pictures, videos and music. The app Connected Media on the Flyer streams to my networked Samsung TV on its own.
You don't need Google TV to do that. Any DLNA compatible TV or DVD player and even my DirectV boxes can talk to the Flyer allowing streaming of video, music and photos.
My Moto Droid X2 does DLNA as well.
Works with my Samsung TVs too.
So Google Music App can stream to Bluetooth perfectly fine but not DLNA or over WiFi. Seems like it should be able to stream DLNA or WiFi if it can handle Bluetooth. Any technical reason why it cannot? I have only been able to get it to play over Bluetooth, Headphones or connect directly to Media device but not DLNA or WiFi the most ideal connections. With the infamous Nexus Q I believe it could connect and stream via WiFi but that is the only instance I am aware of. So outside of buying a discontinued Nexus Q our all powerful devices are crippled? Any insight or help would be greatly appreciated.
Any developer out there that wants to make some money, please develop an App to accomplish this. 20,000 songs on my Google Music account and I you limit how I can play my music.

The Google music app will not do what you want, but BubbleUPnP in the play store is the best DLNA app out there and can directly access music you have stored on Google music and stream that over DLNA (along with many other talents, it really is a great app!)

Yeah, but you'll have to purchase BubbleUPnP. Now, that wouldn't be a big deal, it's just that I prefer the Google Play Music app for Google music streaming, hence by resorting to 3-rd party apps such as BubbleUPnP you end up fragmenting your playback environment. I'd frankly love to see Google's app doing DLNA streaming as well, hence I'm with antwan30184 on this. Furthermore, if not acting as a DLNA server, at least DLNA client would still earn kudos with me.
You can try AirPlay/DLNA Receiver (PRO) too, it's work fine to me.
My guess is that Google intentionally limits this functionality to bolster Chromecast.
There's an app called "Cast to UPnP/DLNA for GMusic" that runs as a service and will allow you to cast DLNA devices through Google Music. It's strange, but if you have it running on one device on your network, all devices will be able to cast to the DLNA device through Google Music.
Would it be possible to extract the google music apk that google TV devices use, and if so how would one go about doing it? I'm one of the backers of the ouya and am pretty excited about it, and really want to get it hooked up to my audio rig for music. Is google music programmed so it's the same apk for all devices, it just functions differently on phone, tablet, and tv, or are they all seperate apks? Also, I've never used a Revue or any of the google tv boxes, does the google music app function well on there from a ui and ease standpoint? Thanks!
I'm sure everyone is somewhat familiar with Samsung's AllShare Cast dongle that's used to wirelessly "cast" media from a Samsung device(your Note 3) to the AllShare Cast hardware dongle/device attached to any compatible TV... What I'm curious about is does anyone have experience with any of the other hardware devices used for screen mirroring or "casting" directly from their device to an attached dongle or TV? In your opinion, what's the BEST out there? I've already got a Chromecast and it works well for what it's supposed to do...it streams NetFlix, Youtube, Hulu Plus, Google Play Music, Google Play Videos, but it DOESN'T stream directly from a mobile device....YET. So it doesn't fully meet my needs right now. I know the Roku is an option, but I was just wanting your opinions on any device you prefer.
Thanks guys!
I recently got the Chromecast and wish it did everything, but only time will tell.
This is probably in the minority, but I use my server/htpc with XBMC to play everything else. XMBC allows DLNA devices, so I can stream local content on my phone to the computer. I also use it to stream some other content. For example, I use Anime Plus app to watch some anime. It gives me the option to use external players, because of this I choose the default Samsung player and then click the AllShare icon to send it to my computer. If there are other apps out there that allows you to use the default video player, then you should be able to do the same.
For music, I use Subsonic since it's also on my htpc computer, but I rarely play music through my TV.
