How do I pre-cache (not stream) music from another device onto Nexus?

[sanitystream]

Is there a way that I can pre-cache a music file from another device and onto my Nexus 7 and then play it?

I know lots of apps will stream it, but that doesn't work with .wma music files.
Poweramp only plays .wma if it's local on my Nexus 7, no streaming allowed (ugh!)

Is there some way to force pre-caching? Any ideas?

thanks in advance.

Welcome to the forums, sanitystream!
Which version of the Nexus 7 do you have as we can move this to the proper forum?

Seems like more of a generic question tbh Dan. (Although i have no idea what "pre-cache" means lol)

I have the latest (2nd gen) Nexus 7.

By "pre-cache" (for lack of a better word), I mean not playing a music file as it streams. Instead, I need it to transfer the whole file off a remote device, onto the Nexus 7, and THEN play it.

Poweramp can't work with anything but local music files, hence my question.

One way you could do it is load Bittorrent Sync on both your devices and then sync the music folders on your source device to a folder on the Nexus 7.

That is the easiest way I can think of right, but that is because I am in love with Bittorrent Sync. Drop fancy terms like "pre-cache" and streaming" - what you are really asking is how can I copy my music folder to the Nexus 7 and you probably already know the answer.
