I´d like to install a podcast client application wich pretty much works like the one in Iphone/Ipod (of course without the iTunes part). I also would like this app to download my subscriptions att scheduled times and only via wifi.
Is there such an app?

Hi,
Not really sure how the Ipod/Iphone one works, but I,ve been using this free podcatcher Beyondpod (for Windows Mobile) for the past year.
I have it set up to download all my podcasts at 3am over my wifi and it's been very reliable.

Search for RSS reader, ithink there is an advanced one that supports pod cast subscriptions.
Yomomedia on windows marketplace is quite polished.. beyondpod is the old favourite but not that user friendly but with heroic functionality.. i prefer lettig my PC do the heavy lifting though via MediaMonkey & syncing it later
I've just read following article:
http://www.intomobile.com/2010/05/20/android-to-get-ota-app-installation-streaming-music.html
It was posted before Froyo got released... it states that Froyo will have a option to stream your own music library?
Is that already available?
I now have an unlimited data option and want to be able to stream my music from home... any apps already doing this?
Thanks
Subsonic can do it, and i have heard of others, like Orb. I've never tried any of the others. Subsonic runs on your PC (windows/linux/mac) and then there is a client app for your device (android/iphone/pc). You can also access the music via the web interface.
For the client apps, like the android app, you need to donate to the subsonic open source project to get an unlimited streaming license, but I think it was well worth the couple bucks. If you donate, you also get a <foo>.subsonic.org domain so you can easily access your music. I use it daily. My only grip about it is that it caches the music on the SD card and if you set up a large playlist, it prefetches all the music and it doesn't automatically clean up after itself, which can fill up the SD card a bit.

Great... thanks! Will try it out.
For streaming my library, I run a linux server with Ampache (sorry, I'm new and can't post a link). Then for my android Evo 4g, I use the android clients like Lullaby or Amdroid (both in the Market).
Pretty slick solution I think.
...of course you can use a windows box to host the Ampache site. Ampache requires a web server, MySQL, and PHP.
Homepipe
Look for an app called Homepipe. It will stream music as well as giving you access to files/directories on your home PC. It uses an app on your PC for connecting. Pretty slick but be careful of bandwidth.

First off can't put it down, this thing is insane an I didn't even hack it yet. (Waiting to go buy a micro SD card) Got a couple of questions. I use iTunes and would like to stream my library to my g tablet, is there a compadiable app,or do ibhave to move my library to windows media player, if so is there an app that will allow me to control my library like iPhones remote app? And lastly any kick a$$ apps out there? In the short time I've had it found a killer emulator and spent the day kicking it old school...lol thanks in advanced to all who respond.
Unfortunately I can't suggest an iTunes sync app as I don't use it.
As for killer apps, you might want to mention some of your interests in a tablet - ie. video playback (Rockplayer), ebooks (Aldiko), comics (ACV or JJComics Viewer) etc.
Sync
Try doubletwist for syncing your music (but not streaming)

I'm a techie type Guy, for instance getting this unit to sync my music, pictures and to get it to start my car or control my lighting, things like that.
Also an avid gamer,loving the emulators
My big thing is trying to find a way to get icefilm.info or something similar to it to stream movies on here so I can hook it up to the dock with HDMI to my TV.
You guys r awesome thanks in advance for taken the time to help me out

Daap player: http://code.google.com/p/daap-client/ hmm, can't get this to work
Might need to run an alternative server since itunes doesn't like to play nice with the standard. I run a firefly server on my nas.

Podcasts
Any suggestions on getting podcasts to sync? Using doubletwist doesn't exactly work properly; audio podcasts show up as playlists, not podcasts, which is OK, but video podcasts don't work at all.
Does anyone use any other program that will actually automatically download podcasts? It seems like most of the apps I've looked at are written for phones with 3g connections to listen to streaming podcasts, which the G-tab obviously doesn't do.
thanks

You can use .podkast or google listen.
I've used BeyondPod previously and works pretty well. It would be perfect if it were free, but i guess $7.00 is not too much of a price to pay after the trial is over.
Google listen seems to work for some people, but not others; I am apparently one of the others, because it will only stream and I can't figure out how to make it download, even though I've told it to do so.
I'm thinking of trying beyondpod or doggcatcher, but don't really want to pay until I know they'll work. Guess I'll go for the free trial.
Thanks!
I am tired of many of iOS’s issues (lack of flexibility, screensize) and want to get the new Nexus. However, there are many Key features of iOS that I use extensively. I’m looking for some informative insight on Android’s offering.
1.***** Airplay – wireless music/youtube w/e directly from my iPhone. I have no idea what android have in this department
2.***** Music – I use a Mac and I would like to keep itunes. Is there a easy way to sync? Especially wirelessly
3.***** Facetime – is there an equally simple solution? My long D gf uses iOS, so im looking for cross platform here.
4.***** Facebook – iOS facebook sucks, how far along is android now, app, integration etc?
5.***** Notes – syncs automatically with my Mac, I can access it offline after it synced. I tried evernote before but I don’t think it works offline.
Any exclusive ICS features that are used extensively?
Thanks

Hey,
1. no idea, sorry
2. There are a few programs that manage sync with iTunes on a mac. Doubletwist (the paid version features wireless sync) might be a good solution for this: http://doubletwist.com/
3. What about Skype? =) I think iOS also has video call functionality https://market.android.com/details?id=com.skype.raider
4. Well facebook for Android also sucks :/ I'd go with the mobile website instead.
5. I'd say evernote is the way to go. It also works offline, at least on mobile.
1. Google music beta stores your music online .

Apple has a way of trapping you in their exclusive ecosystem of software and accessories. You can find alternative, open solutions, but you may have to purchase new accessories.
If I understand correctly, Airplay is an Apple proprietary solution. I know that DoubleTwist has an Airplay plugin, but I would imagine it only supports playing back audio, not YouTube, etc.
DLNA is the alternative, but is standardized and widely supported.

1 Airplay....There are applications in the Android Market that can handle this.
2 Music-Doubletwist and Airsync - both provided by the same company. They also sync with iTunes.
3 Factime - I use Gtalk application It works on WiFI as well as 3G/4G and hence you can always be in touch with your gf....lol
4 Notes- Gdocs...it syncs with Google and also Google DOcs which not only syncs your notes but all your docs.
5 Google music is very good since it stores all your music in cloud and also gives you flexibility to download, transfer or play from the cloud while on the move.
1. Nothing really like airplay
2. You can use itunes to organise your music and just drag and drip songs onto your sd card.
3. I use the Skype app for video calls
4. The Facebook app is terrible for Android but is integrated well into the os with full contact sync and sharing photos to facebook straight from the app.
5. There are so many great note taking apps on the Android Market there will definately be something you will like
The great thing about Android is that if you don't like the stock Android apps you can always find better alternatives to them on the market.
I've installed Google Music on my D2G running Galnet MIUI and I'm loving it.
I have another Android device, a supercheap WM8650 tablet running Uberoid. I want to turn it into a cloud player using Google Music so I can play my music on it without having to buy more high-capacity microSD cards.
So I installed Google Music on it (latest version - I'm not in the USA so I have to download the apk externally), and it promptly stopped working. I googled a bit, and it appears Google Music has trouble running on generic devices. I'm wondering if the reason for this is known, and if there are ways to fix this problem. I'd have no problems using one of the alternatives, but from what I'm seeing Google Music is the only one that doesn't have ridiculously restrictive storage - I have 15 gigs worth of ogg files, so stuff like Droptunes is useless to me.
You could try browsing to music.google.com from a browser that supports user agent spoofing, like dolphin HD, and set it to a Desktop user agent?
I know that's kind of a crappy workaround, but I'm not sure about why GM wouldn't work well on generic android devices...

Sounds fine in principle, but doesn't work so well on my tablet - it's very slow, and it takes a long time for the site just to load the list, let alone launch the player. I really need a native app.
The only alternative I've found so far is Audiogalaxy (a name I remember fondly from the early days of peer-to-peer... *sigh* ), but that isn't a cloud storage player, just a streaming player. In other words, if I want to have my library permanently available I need to have a computer with significant storage always on and connected, acting as a file server. A Windows computer, so I can't use any old diskless laptop with a USB thumbdrive. And if my connection or power goes down I can kiss my files goodbye. And the server wastes power.
This will do as an emergency measure, but I really need someplace to put my files. Is there a music player that will work from normal ftp storage? I have a website, I could easily upload my music to the space I use for it.
Bumpty bump.
what distro/android version is the app made for (ex: 2.1+). Which version is running on your tablet?
