You can find many dozens of explanations ranging from about as detailed as my previous sentence to flowcharts of the actual underlying processes but here's a nice middleground between all technical explanation and "bad droid". |
Thanks for the info. I'm an Android newb.

This is fantastic. They have it for Mac too. I'm firing it up right now!
Though it would be nice if you could stream locally via wireless connection (i.e. not waste bandwidth when you are at home). EDIT: Wait...it lists wi-fi in the description. Does this mean a wi-fi only option?
Also, there's this:
My public library recently gave all members access to the Naxos Music Library, which allows you to stream hundreds of thousands of tracks of classical and jazz music.
They have an
Android app too. It's handy, as it has built-in playlists that work a lot like browsing genres, etc., in your iPod. Add in a search feature for their entire library, and bam! I now have less of a need to load classical music up on my iPod
or my phone. I have the app on both devices.
