SqueezePlayer is the playback component on Android. It looks like any other player, hardware or software. OrangeSqueeze and SqueezeCommander are controlling apps. (I use OrangeSqueeze. It has in-app communication with SqueezePlayer, ie to start the playback program automatically when OrangeSqueeze starts.) Bluetooth is bluetooth and wi-fi is wi-fi. There is no crossover. Using these programs (at Best Buy) linked to my home server via BB's wi-fi, I paired the Nexus 7 to some Samsung bt speakers and had no trouble with control/playback of 320CBR mp3's. BB's wi-fi is really crappy because of the huge number of devices in the store trying to connect and I feel sure that in a local setting you would have no problem streaming higher quality files.
