Stream/download local music library to iPhone on the road?

[shlemielo]

Hey guys.

I'm looking for an app that lets me download a track from my home music library to my iPhone while I am out and about. I've been using Audiogalaxy which works very well for streaming, but it doesn't let me save the tracks to the phone. I'd like the ability to download the tracks while I have wi-fi at work and not have to stream them over 3G (200mb data plan). I teach music lessons part-time and while it's nice to be able stream my library from anywhere, I'd really like to have a specific track on my iPhone and not have to worry about the connection.

Anyone know of an app that could do this for me? Thanks.

Dropbox?

Subsonic. You can manually download/cache tracks while on WiFi from your home server/library. The server software is free, but I'm not sure on the actual app since those are third party apps. The only catch is that streaming to portable devices requires a donation license on the server-side, so after the 30-day trial you're forced to donate to keep functionality on your portable device.

another vote for subsonic. server is free but you need to pay $10 to activate mobile streaming

Nthing Subsonic. I use it extensively on my Android phone, but I know they have an iOS app as well. Supposedly works with video now too, but haven't tested that yet.

Yep. I've been using subsonic for a while now on my android phone. Works pretty good.
Haven't used the video thing yet (still have to upgrade the webapp).

Subsonic works very well on my Droid.
