Android Pro Vs MM Gold

[kingjon]

Hi, I've tried to find an answer on the forums to no avail...

I have MM free version installed on a Win 11 desktop, managing my MP3 library.

I want to cast music to a Chromecast Audio.

If I upgrade to the Pro Android App, will I have unlimited casting, via the App, from my PC library, or will I ALSO need to upgrade to MM Windows Gold?

To be clear, I'll control playback from the Android app, not from the Windows app.

Thanks

Jon

Streaming from MMW is limited to 30 minutes in the free version, thus you'd need MMW Gold in this setup.

So if I have the Pro Android app, but only the free desktop app, do I get unlimited casting of media managed by the desktop app, via the Andoid app?

[kingjon]

OK so even if I unlock the unlimited casting via the Pro Android app, I would still his the 30-minute limit if the media I'm casting is coming from my desktop-managed library?

[Lowlander]

Yes, you're using MMW streaming at that point, which has a 30 minute limit.

You can Sync from MMW to MMA and then cast the Synced files from MMA, but if you stream from MMW you're using the MMW streaming feature.

Far too many files to sync to my phone so I'll need MMW Gold if I want this to work.

Thanks for your help
