2Player Network Music Player

The 2Player Network Music Player is a full-featured network music player for Windows and Linux home networks. This app runs on the Android platfom turning your Android device into a remote controller that can play music from and to network media devices throughout your home.

This application makes use of the "Play From" and "Play To" capabilities of Windows 7, and the XBox 360 media players to seemlessly move music from where it is stored to where you want to play it. The app also works with many devices that support the UPnP and DLNA Media Player protocols, DLNA televisions, network storage devices, bluRay players, and many other living room devices.
Whilst 2player is not certified as DLNA-compatible software by the Digital Livingroom Network Alliance, the app does work with the majority of DLNA devices.

Linux ported to the HP TouchPad tablet

Arch, Ubuntu, and Debian Linux ported to the HP TouchPad tablet
Arch Linux HP TouchPad
Before hackers figured out how to install Google Android on the HP TouchPad, people were using the 9.7 inch tablet to run Ubuntu Linux… sort of. The discontinued tablet actually shipped with HP’s webOS software preloaded and early attempts to run Linux didn’t boot Linux instead of webOS. They basically let you run Ubuntu alongside Android and run Ubuntu apps without rebooting using UbuntuChroot.
But now it’s possible to install a full-blown Linux operating system on the TouchPad using some of the same tools you would use to install Android. The end result is a tablet that lets you choose whether to run webOS or another operating system when you turn it on.
Right now there are at least three different projects underway to port popular Linux distributions to run on the TouchPad.   

• Arch
• Bodhi
• Debian
• Ubuntu

They’re all pretty rough around the edges at this point.
All of the releases are aimed at developers that are interested in helping to troubleshoot problems.
Arch is probably furthers along, but the webcam isn’t supported, sound doesn’t work, and neither does Bluetooth. But if you want a mostly usable Linux operating with the GNOME desktop environment, Arch might be the way to go for now.
You can find download links and rudimentary instructions by following the links above. If you don’t understand the instructions, then you’re probably not the intended audience and you should wait until more stable software is available.
