Share music library between s7 edge and android 6.0 car head unit

[Jamespheely]

Hi all.

I am looking for help in sharing a music library between 2 android devices (a phone and car head unit running Android 6.0).

I am using power amp music player on my phone (s7 edge) and have all my library and playlists setup. I am looking for a way of wirelessly sharing the library from my phone to the car head unit.

I don't believe poweramp will allow me to stream by Bluetooth direct from my phone to the Android head unit. I believe I could sync the music folders between the 2 devices but this could be time consuming when I want instant connection/access? Another thought was to have the Android head unit recognise and connect the sd card in my phone as a virtual usb drive? Is this possible or am I over thinking it and there's an easier way?

Thanks
James

It should do, provided the head unit is connected as an audio device for playing sound.. Syncing, I don't know, I've never done that.
