DroidRemote
**NEW*
* a little preview of whats to come in this app http://youtu.be/PwyMpIjafg4
DroidRemote is an Android to Android remote control for music/media playback.
Tested with DoubleTwist player and Spotify. Please let me know what apps you use it for!
Confirmed from a user in USA that it works with Amazon Cloud player as well
Please leave a comment/rating where you let me know what app you use it for
Requirements:
- You need 2 Android devices phone/phone or phone/tablet
- Configure 1 as Server (player) one as Client(remote) (video on support site)
- Complete the setup (video on support site) and start the server/client
What does it do?
Functions implemented now is next, previous, play/pause. And it's all controlled from an AppWidget.
Limitations:
- You can only remote control the server device from another Android device. No iPhone, Blackberry or Symbian.
- Range from client to server device is limited by Bluetooth
- You have to start playback on the player (server) before you can remote control it with DroidRemote
This does not turn your phone into an FM-transmitter!
Use-cases:
In the car:Connect your server device to an Audio to FM transmitter (Search amazon for products) Tune in your car stereo and voila you have Spotify in your car. The server device can be stowed away in the dashboard.
In your home:Connect your server device to your Hi-Fi system via AUX cable. Sit in you couch and remote control the playback.
Some of the reason I made this app is the lack of docking stations for Android with remotes (a tleast in the Hi-Fi segment), and that my Car is unable to stream audio over Bluetooth.
So give this app a chance, it is still in Beta so if you have any problems let me know by mail or on the support site.
Thank you.

Could not get any control of Spotify running my Tab4 as server and my S3 as client.
I have a tablet that I use to stream from amazons cloud drive. I assemble a huge playlist, press play and am able to use my phone to skip and pause.
Its amazing on my jail broken kindle :) just put the apps on both and it works with the stock Amazon player, so now I can contorl my music and movies across the room
Hey, great app! Does exactly as advertised, which is exactly what I needed. It works perfectly with Pandora. Using a Moto X as the client and a Droid 3 as the server. Gonna try it with multiple clients in the near future. Thanks! Edit: Works flawlessly with multiple clients!
Would love to be able to use volume adjustment from remote, but this is exactly what I needed & works perfectly! Thank you, thank you, thank you! I don't normally rate, but am very excited about this app! Thanks again!
Does exactly what I want - let's me play music through my transformer prime using Samsung s3 as remote. Thanks:-)
Functions as I want it to, had no problems setting it up. Excellent app, does what it says on the tin :D Is missing a volume control. Im using the SEMC Play as server and S3 as remote.
Working great with Note 4
I never write reviews, but for this one I have to say thank you very much. I have a a tablet that I rarely use and making spotify player out if it feels great. I hope in the future there will be option to control spotify more (select playlists, search, etc) and the volume. But great start nevertheless. Why don't you make own device (transform cheapo android pc-on-stick) by that would just have an AUX output and turn any pair of speakers into the Sonos-killer?
