Hi,

I am planning to rip my CD's to a NAS drive and use a Samsung Galaxy Tab as an interface to play them via Bluetooth to my Hifi, however having tried playing a ripped CD off my laptop through my Tablet It seems there isn't an interface that will play an album, just individual tracks. I was hoping for an App that used the Album art, and you could select to play (a la Spotify), but can't find one. (there are several that behave the right way, but don't support network streaming) Is there anyway for me to achieve what I want to do or should I forget about buying a NAS?

Plex can be installed on many nas servers and can be used for playlists, and you can stream to android etc.

Actually, another option is to stream via wifi to the hifi using a chromecast audio dongle rather than using bluetooth. Should be less power intensive as well.
