There are three possibilities that I can see: 1) LMS on the android device. I don't think this exists, but it's not technically impossible. 2) upnp server on the android device, local LMS server with upnp client. This probably exists and could be made to work after a fashion. 3) samba server on android and local LMS which is pointed to the samba share. I think #3 is probably your best bet. I have seen a samba server app for android (make SURE you get the samba SERVER app, not the samba CLIENT app). You will need LMS running on another computer (you cannot easily do this with the TinyLMS built into the Touch). Just set the LMS to look at the samba share from the android device as it's source of music files. You will need to set the workgroup name on both the android samba server and the computer LMS is running on to the same name. Then LMS will scan the files and you can use any of the squeezebox system control mechanisms for playing the music. Note: I have NOT done this so I can't give tips on specific pitfalls, but it should work.
