I don't suppose anyone knows of any software that runs on Android tablets?
I have an Asus Transformer which I'd like to get to run something similar to what is seen on touchscreen jukeboxes, with album artwork/info etc that would run files stored locally on the device but also maybe be able to connect to a NAS (when I get round to building one) and stream files to the device.
Anything like this out there?

I wrote some jukebox code ages ago in java. I later removed the UI (because of the project I was working on)...
but the trouble is that android JVM doesn't have JMF support I don't believe. And even if I could find the version with a UI, the Android doesn't support awt so the graphics would need to be rewritten.
So basically, I think 90% of it would need to be rewritten.
but heck, I would love a music player that is based on building a song queue instead of most UI's... so I could select the next 5 songs and start driving.

I am using easy jukebox on the mini (micro?) jukebox I am building using a prepay phone I got at bestbuy for 30 bucks...it doesnt have a lot of features (including album art, etc) but I dont care. I like that I can scroll through music a page at a time and queue up songs as I see them just like a jukebox does. Using it with a no lock app and a screen saver that does lightning storms set to never time out it became a nice micro jukebox that displays the current track and the upcoming tracks...now I just need a design to wrap around the phone that I can hang on the wall 8)

I have not tried this particular concept (as I don't own an android phone), but JRiver has an app called GIZMO that can stream music from your JRiver media player install acting as a server on a PC somewhere.
It can also remotely control the server, so, say you have it runnning on a PC upstairs, connected to a radio device that just streams the audio out, out to your patio. you use your phone to control what's playing, volume, etc.
BUT, if you prefer, you could stream the music directly to your phone with Gizmo.

I have used the WebRemote functionality, though and it's great for remotely controlling JRMC.

Hmm, one snag, It has to be able to connect to the media server, I don't believe it'll play tracks directly off the phone. Might not be quite what you're after.
