How to use and configure Samsung AllShare?
Download the contents stored on other devices.Īs you can see, it's an application with which we can create a kind of multimedia network in which our TV, PC, and mobile devices work as network units, being able to share any sort of audiovisual file between them, as well being able to cast contents to share their playback on other screens.Search for and play content on other devices on the network.
Share videos, images, and music between devices that can be connected by cable or WiFi.What can I do with AllShare installed on my PC? It's compatible with plenty of electric appliance manufacturers of the likes of Acer, Motorola, Philips, Toshiba, Sony, Nokia, and of course, Samsung, in charge of developing this AllShare we're talking about. The easiest way to play music and video on other screens.īut before we carry on, what the hell is DLNA? Well, it's basically the abbreviation of Digital Living Network Alliance, a standard that allows several devices to interconnect on a network to share their contents. And thanks to Samsung AllShare we can do so in an easy and simple manner.
The most immediate solution would probably be connecting any of those devices straight to our PC, whether Windows 7 or 10, by means of the corresponding cable, but a much more comfortable option could be installing a DLNA server on the computer allowing us to interact with all other compatible devices on our network. Whether that is good or bad depends on your perspective on how music should be consumed of course.Nowadays, there are plenty of different ways of sharing multimedia files on our computer with the rest of our home devices, such as smartphones, tablets, TVs, digital cameras, etc. With the death of the ability to buy music, Google has officially accepted that streaming music is the way to go right now. You can also just go ahead and start fresh on another music app so you have the option to just delete all your data on Google Play Music. It will probably take you some time to rebuild your music library but that’s the price of going outside the Google ecosystem. You can also backup your music wishlist and reviews, and a list of the tracks, playlists, and radio stations that were in your library. You’re supposed to be able to upload up to 100 thousand tracks so that shouldn’t be a problem.īut if you decide to take your music somewhere else, you can use Google Takeout which will let you downed music that you perviously purchased from Google Play Music. The last piece that they’re hoping to convince users to move was the ability to upload their own music files and access them from other devices that have the YouTube Music app. Over the past months, we’ve seen Google’s new music app slowly (sometimes too slowly for some) achieve feature parity with Google Play Music. Google will of course want you to seamlessly move to YouTube Music. So from now until December, you should already start moving on with your digital music life as there are a lot of options out there anyway. You will officially lose access to Google Play Music by the end of the year. Don’t panic just yet if you still had files that you haven’t backed up and transferred as you still have a couple of months to do so.
