Xbox and Playstation 3 owners can now listen to their favorite music from Rdio and Soundcloud, given they also possess an Android mobile device: Qualcomm Atheros just released version 1.5 of its Skifta media shifting app for Android. Skifta lets you access and play local and Internet media on DLNA-certified devices. It is almost sort of Airplay for Android. Users can use their phone to browse the videos on their network-attached storage drive and then send the video to their PS3, Xbox360 or DLNA-compatible connected devices. The app also offers access to a few Internet media sources, including TED, ShoutCast and Facebook. Rdio and Soundcloud are two main latest content partners for Skifta, enhancing the value of the app because it allows a user to play content from the two services on devices that don’t offer any native apps for them. Currently you need to run Skifta through your phone or tablet device to use the services; but that may not be for much longer. Skifta launched an SDK for CE manufacturers earlier this month in the hopes of bringing the service to high-end routers. That means that Xbox owners may soon be able to pump their Rdio music straight from their router to the game console.
