Why limit yourself to your small screen on the phone? Run SB Player, an app by angryGoat, best experienced on your PC or Mac with BlueStacks, the world’s #1 Android emulator.
About the App
Ever wanted to play your Squeezebox music library straight from your Android device? SB Player, brought to you by angryGoat, is a Music & Audio app that turns your device into a Squeezebox player, so you can stream your favorite albums and playlists from your own servers or MySqueezebox.com. Just a heads up, this one’s all about connecting and streaming—if you’re looking for a full suite of playback controls in the app itself, you’ll still want to use your regular Squeezebox remote app or the web interface for that part.
App Features
-
Easy Server Connections
Connects seamlessly with both local servers on your network and MySqueezebox.com. It’ll even sniff out any local Squeezebox servers for you. -
Supports Tons of Audio Formats
Whether your collection is in FLAC, MP3, AAC, Ogg, ALAC, or even some of those classic WAV and AIFF files, SB Player has you covered. Got high-res 24bit tracks? The app automatically handles the conversion for smooth listening. -
Background Play
Keep your music going in the background, so you can use your device without stopping the tunes. -
Syncs with Other Players
Perfect if you’ve got more than one Squeezebox device—SB Player can join in for perfectly synchronized playback. There’s even an option to split left and right channels if you’re creative with your setup. -
Audio Tweaks and Options
Fade in/out, crossfade, album/track gain, and support for low sampling rate audio (great for internet radio fans)—all built in and customizable. -
Automatic Pause and Headphone Handling
Built to be smart—SB Player pauses your music for phone calls or when you unplug your headphones. You can tweak these settings to match your vibe. -
Notification-Only Mode
Prefer things minimal? Launch the app directly into your notification tray without seeing the full app interface. -
Bandwidth-Friendly Playback
Supports auto-detection of your internet connection and lets you limit streaming to compressed formats if you’re on low bandwidth. You can also adjust quality settings for less powerful devices. -
Advanced and Experimental Audio
On devices that allow it, the app can output audio higher than 44.1kHz, and there’s early support for floating point PCM and DSD (via conversion). Handy if you’re really into your audio formats. -
Works Well on Different Devices
SB Player runs best on Android 5.0 or above, but also supports older versions with a few limitations like max audio quality. -
BlueStacks Compatibility
Runs smoothly on PCs using BlueStacks, letting you stream your Squeezebox content right from your desktop setup.
BlueStacks gives you the much-needed freedom to experience your favorite apps on a bigger screen. Get it now.
