With streaming apps, you have it easy when it comes to casting to Chromecast. All you have to do is press a button in apps like Rdio or Pandora and music starts playing on your TV. Local media is a whole different beast though.

If you have a large music library on your PC and a lot of music on your Android/iOS device that you want to stream to Chromecast in some way, I’ve got some solutions.

Chromecast doesn’t advertise itself for playing local content, but it can. Chromecast is hackable, you see. With the combination of the right tools, you can have your 320 kbps MP3s playing on the big speakers attached to your giant TV in no time.

1. Use Google Play Music

If you live in the US or another supported country, you really should just use Google Play Music. The service allows you to upload up to 20,000 songs from your personal collection to Google’s cloud – all for free. You can then stream those songs to Google Play Music apps for iOS and Android or on the web.

Both the iOS and Android apps have Chromecast support. So while the Android app won’t stream songs you have locally to Chromecast, it will do so for the ones you have on the cloud.

Fetch download. If it’s supported in your region, I cannot recommend it enough.

2. Using Plex for PC and Mac

Plex is a media center with lots of Android and iOS controller apps. Basically, you create a media server on your PC/Mac and add your whole music library (you can do this for movies and TV shows as well) to Plex.

Now, when the media server is running and you’re on the same Wi-Fi network, you can either use the Plex official app or one of the countless other third party apps to stream the media to said devices. And of course, tapping that Cast button will send the media to your TV. After all the media is loaded up and scanned, open Plex on your PC/Mac and browse through the media. A Cast button will let you stream the media directly to Chromecast. No need for iOS or Android controller apps. App to open rar on mac.

6. AllCast, LocalCast, or BubbleUPnP for Android
