Android USB Direct Streaming:
If you wish to play other Android apps through the USB cable, you will need to load a config file and DISABLE
the Grom AALinQ feature. Other Android apps will NOT have controls. You will only have sound.
USB Audio Streaming is available for most Android devices with Jelly Bean Android software. In the case of USB Audio
Streaming you will not need AALinQ media player, you will be able to use the media player of your choice, or stream the
music through any Android music apps, such as Pandora, TuneIn, Spotify and so on.
