StreamStar

StreamStar suits users who keep their music on a personal or office web server and want direct playback on Android. Instead of copying files or using a cloud account, you stream on demand by entering a URL and choosing tracks. It works for everyday listening at home or on the go on phones and tablets. Users who prefer direct server access can download StreamStar to listen without extra services, and existing setups can be used without special components.

StreamStar Features

Direct web server streaming

StreamStar streams audio files directly from a web server and lets you browse folders through simple directory listings. This removes the need to install proprietary server software or upload your library to a cloud service. It has been tested with common servers such as Apache, IIS, and lighttpd.

Playback formats and controls

StreamStar plays MP3, OGG, and other popular formats, including M3U playlists. It displays embedded song info and artwork during playback. You can skip forward or back, and audio pauses automatically on incoming calls with ducking for other sounds. A clear buffering status helps you monitor loading.

Voice search and browsing

When provided with an index generated by the free MP3Tag application, you can use voice search for song, band, or album names. You can also move to parent folders and explore other directories on the server to find tracks quickly.

Connection and security options

• Works over WiFi and mobile data networks.
• Supports SSH tunnels and port forwarding for remote servers.
• For Internet streaming, consider a VPN or SSH for added security.
