The full version of SoundWire enables unlimited Opus audio compression, can handle up to 10 connections at the same time, and has no ads or interruptions. It also has a special Pro Mode to set and display buffer latency precisely in milliseconds. You can use any music player on your PC or laptop like Grooveshark, Spotify, YouTube, or iTunes and feed the live sound directly to your Android device. SoundWire lets you listen to the free versions of Grooveshark and Spotify on your phone.
SoundWire has low latency (audio delay), which means it can even be used to listen to the soundtrack of a movie or YouTube video while you watch (**Note you must adjust the buffer size in app settings for low latency). There are other uses too... SoundWire can work as a baby monitor or listening device with a computer such as a netbook that has a built-in microphone. Or hook up turntables to your computer's line input and stream a live DJ set to another part of the house. SoundWire can also be used over 3G/4G networks.

After purchasing the full version of SoundWire you should uninstall the free version to avoid getting them confused (the application icons look the same). If you run the free version it will warn you and give you the option of running the full version instead.
If you get a message saying the app is not licensed and this message is incorrect then please check your internet connection and try again.
Permissions - Network communication: Communicates with the server program on your PC. - Phone calls: Mutes audio when you receive or make a call. Without this permission sound would continue to play, interfering with your call. - Prevent phone from sleeping: Keeps app running while connected (playing music) or attempting to connect. May be disabled in settings.
If reporting a problem please give your phone's Android version (e.g. 2.3) and make/model. Check the server download page georgielabs.cjb.net occasionally for updates.
