I gladly paid Pandora's 36 bucks a YEAR but no internet radio is worth a monthly fee. Christ.
It's not internet radio. You can also download tracks to any mp3 player aside from an ipod pretty much, as well as a PC (no Mac, unless you VM). You're basically renting out music, but it's a much better deal than Lala, etc which don't let you download. Granted, it's in a protected format of course, but you can find ways around that
I'm trying this out for the time being but I'm really excited for Spotify to come out. Sounds like Google wanted the N1 to ship with Spotify built in would have given iTunes a run for it's money. Spotify is supposed to come out in Q3.
Just my opinion no one needs to freak out over it. Although this seems like a great app, I would not pay 10 bucks a month to listen to music....I'd rather donate that 10 bucks to Cyanogen or another dev....Sorry, way to many "free" options out there to pay ten bucks a month, thanks tho!! Again IMO
Why are you waiting for Spotify? I used the service, but maybe I missed something.
Never used Rhapsody but surely it's very similar to Spotify.
I use Spotify for the record, the premium one at £10 a month.
I've never had any issue with software. Very good for syncing across several PCs, my N1 and my iPod Touch. I've got music all over the place and only for £10 a month.
Bargain!
I did ask a question about whether there is an app that can do the same as the PC apps so as to record the streams or normal offline audio to mp3s on Android?
Any suggestions or knowledge on this?
I got this in college when they had a $26 / year deal. Just about $2 / month. Then they stopped contracting with our school but our accounts have been active since. It's been 6 years. Too bad my account is some special crap or wahtever and doesnt work with Rhapsody on the go for mobile devices. =[
But this is nice. This is no Pandora. Want song A? You get Song A. Want another song? Search it. Imagine it's getting the iTunes library at your fingertips, except its all streaming.... very useful.
I've loaded up a whole playlist before and just played it at a couple of housewarming parties. Works well.
I've been using the app all day since it released... While it's a great app in general, the radio function appears broken.
I can't skip more than 2 songs per hour... where the hours are seemingly longer than 60 mins. Something is seriously wrong...

You know you can get hulu on the Evo. Right. Go into avalaunches Rom thread, he's got the .Apk for hulu and the flashfix for it to work.
Thank you

Looks like this site just started up. They only have 9 tv episodes so far to watch. The movie section ends up taking you to another site where you have to sign up to see them, plus it only looks like a free trial for the movies, not sure, didnt want to take the time. I doubt this would work on HDMI since it is browser based using flash. I would say the site has potential if they can get some more content going.

Are you talking about iphonemoviez or some other site? From what I can tell the only reason that site plays thru HDMI is because it loads the movie into the HTC streaming video player which has HDMI out support. If anyone else know of sites that can stream using the HTC steaming video player that would be great knowledge to have...
Thanks for sharing, I have hulu on the phone but you can never have enough..
anyone filled out the credit card section thought?
I don't get it. It just looks like a bunch of links to pirated videos on megavideo. Nothing special really. There are a million questionable video hosts like that and with a Flash enabled browser you should be able to watch any of them.
It's a new post because the Wifi is a new tablet ... So Na! he he
Well I'm one of those type of people who loves to buy bleeding edge and watch the development, but wanna touch on a few things.
Xoom - Screen - Wow I never knew what I was missing The Xoom's screen looks great from any angle.
Shows up as a media player - *Once again let down by a non zune pass compatable device comeon motorola your droid x and droid 2 can do it.
And that's pretty much it. Had google body FC on me quite a few times, and is pretty much just a tech demo at this time...
The G-Tablet runs circles around the Xoom. Flash is more developed, Stock browser is better, Dolphin runs smoother, Text does weird bouncy effects that never seem to fill out correctly.
So yeah, Unless you need zune pass, It's my personal opinion just to pass on this tablet for now. It's just not worth it yet.

Please confirm. You can sync the Xoom with the Zune software?
I love my Zune pass and would love to be able sync directly to a tablet
How can you sync your zune pass music? This would be a great advantage for me as well.

Ok lets qualify this. You can sync the droid 2 and droid x with mediaplayer 11. since they shows up as a Media player - Not directly to the zune software.
Also the stock motorolla player does not handle WMA, you will have to use a market download for that . *nope this don't work either*....
But you can then use media player (like you can with the droid x) to move them over.

Just so you know this works for any device that shows up as a media device.. My old old samsung yep handles DRM zune pass songs like a champ as well
Xoom Wifi supports WMA? If so, your firmware is better than what the 3G owners have (no WMA support on ours, at least not yet)
Btw, glad to see a few Zune owners on here! Great player, nice sound. Had a 30GB one for awhile, but moved onto a Cowon - also have a legacy Yahoo! Music account which migrated to Rhapsody.

I've never really used Windows Media to play my Zune Content. I know it *can* do it, but you still have to use the Zune software to 'buy' music. Also, plays in WMP don't count in Zune (why do I care? I don't know... I just do )
Also, if you do a large bulk download in Zune, you can't actually play it in WMP until you Play it once in Zune (At least that's they way it used to be). For me, it made switching back and forth too much trouble. I just stay in Zune.

Sorry, this is OT I know, but I flippin loved my Cowon I used to have (still have it actually). I had an A2, and used that beast every single day for at least three years. Great players .
Zune doesn't use playforsure technology. WMA may see it and even sync music to it that was from your zune pass, but it won't play. WMA syncs with my EVO but the EVO can only play music that isn't part of the Zune Pass. I can play any song the songs that I used my 10 free credits a month for though.

Hijack alert: Cowon D3 is their first Android-based player (carpy insides, a Telechips CPU with Android 2.1). But a great sound.
Guess who ported the Market over?

Evo doesn't show up as a media player in windows, I know I have one, check the droidx / droid 2 the link I linked to. Both by motorola. If I can get back to my desk today I will try it and if it works post a video.

Maybe I was confusing it showing up as a memory card vs player. I didn't know that Plays for Sure devices could use Zune passes. If that's the case this is great.

It is ok, really depressed me when I found out that the droid x suppoted it and my evo didn't that's why I am excited today. I am hoping that windows update will fix the machine i am working on and I can go back to my desk and try it out. Wish me luck
Well no dice on the direct transfer - Gives device doesn't support format error.
Trying the drop box method.... ah well. now back to being sad again
Bleh doesnt work via dropbox transfer either... Kinda sucks that the Droid x, droid 2, and my old samsung yep, (and your corwin) can do it but this device cannot
I was sooooo hoping this would work
*cries*

is your preference for the GT price agnostic?

Yeah price was not a factor. As I said screen is gorgeous on the xoom. Just feels so unfinished.
Get the vibe that android and Motorola have locked it down so devs don't realise how sloppy the code might be.
I will end up keeping both at this point (was going to sell the g tablet to a friend
Here is me typing this message on the xoom

Anyway guys, just got my invite and am reaaaaaaaaaally excited to upload my 3k songs into the cloud.
i've let itt run all day today and 800 are up, but it is saying its skipped 1000 songs? and the error message says unsupported format, but theyre all standard mp3s?
Help please
no offense but ppl like u are going to make this music cloud of ours paid when it comes out due to serious abuse 3,000 songs are u serious like do u even listen to all that stuff
Abuse? The limit is 20k? And since when do google charge for services (apart from buying more space eg picassa). The more music I upload the more info they know about me which suits their business model...
So yeah...no

I EASILY listen to 3000 of my songs uploaded. Mine collection uploaded is near the 5000 mark, still growing, and the stuff that I don't listen to regularly my girlfriend does.
Out of my 5245 songs so far, it says two were skipped (DRM issues) and the rest there were errors uplaoding. You're not the only one wondering why theres a couple issues, lol.
I'm going to go through with audacity or something and redo the files and see if that helps at all.
Now what's the catch on Google's end here is my question. If each member that was invited uploads their 20k songs, they have to have plans for something with the music... no? lol

FWIW, once you've got that many songs uploaded, the website really starts to slow down
edit: I've come across a strange bug though. Since it's uploading so many songs, over the past few days I've gotten in the habit of checking the recently uploaded list but for some reason the same song is always at the top. It's a good song and I like it, I gave it a thumbs up but.. why is it always at the very top of the recent tracks?

Ok it seems i was a bit premature in assuming my problems had been fixed.
Checjked today and i have even MORE skipped songs now lol... 1600 to be exact. After a bit of googling i came across this thread:
Google Apps thread
It seems that this is indeed a bug with the Music Manager, and a temporary fix seems to be to uninstall and install the Manager again.
I have not tried it yet but will when this batch of songs has finished uploading.
EDIT
reinstalling worked

EDIT - UPDATE
-----------------
I have finally finished uploading my music, had to reinstall aroudn 5 times to avoid the shipped traps problem... so yeah defo needs a bit of work google :x
Time for another meaningless question (from me)...
I'm looking for a good audio player. I've been using the stock player, since it's the only one I've been able to use where the EQ actually works (external EQ's haven't worked at all for me for some reason)
So, here are my desires:
Good working EQ
Widget with cover art would be nice
MP3/FLAC/ALAC (not a firm requirement on ALAC) support
I'd prefer cheap, or at least a fully functional trial so I can decide if it's right for me. Most that I've seen that have a "Pro" or paid version have crippled the free version so it's not what I want (Winamp, doubleTwist, Rocket Player come to mind).
Recommendations? I don't mind paying for it, but I want to know what I'm getting into first.
Not using my phone for music but I heard people talking about pandora or something.
Regardless Isn't there some play store thing that after you buy an app you can get refunded 24 or 48 hours after?
Not interested in Pandora. I don't use my phone for internet based music, just music off of my sd card when working out or working in the yard.
try poweramp from the market.. it has all the feature you want as i was looking for something similar. I tried all other ones and didn't like them.
Poweramp is a trial and you can purchase the full version if you like it.. otherwise, you can just clear cache and reuse after 15 days.. :laugh:

Strangely enough, PowerAmp Trial is not available to install according to the Play website. Weird.
PlayerPro looks like it might be a good choice. I may give it a try.
