I just received my Google Music Beta invite. I have a Xoom VZ 3G.
I'm currently in the process of loading all my music. This post is here to answer questions that anyone might have on how it works.
So far I'm pulling the media from a network share, but I might switch it to iTunes once it finishes. The reason for that is I'd like to have the compatibility of sharing playlists, track rating, and play count. I'm only assuming you need to use the iTunes sync feature of the Music Manager to accomplish. I wish it would talk to all apps, but maybe some day.
There is suppose to be a limit on the number of songs you can upload, and when I told it where my collection was it did complain that I had more than 20k tracks. It did however start uploading anyway. Its currently at 120 of 29090.
Its uploading quick, I have Fios, and its doing about 8-10 mbits up.
Also my Xoom and the Nexus S 4G picked up that I've been approved for Google Music Beta.
On the Xoom, it doesn't appear you can access the instant mixes, at least that I can find. Nor does it seem to be syncing playlists that I created online on either the tablet or the phone.
The Xoom has a manual sync, but the phone does not, even refreshing on the xoom doesn't update the playlist.
So far everything that has been uploaded plays well and its smooth, we'll see how the interface is with 20k songs in it.
So, What do you wanna know?
Just got my invite too, have about 20 songs up there and the xoom hasn't got them yet, and the music app fcs on my epic with ee03.
Edit: songs just got here after about twenty minutes...prompted me to allow sync at least...music was there almost instantly after the prompt.

Got my invite today, still uploading (it's been about 45 minutes now). Music hasn't shown up on my Xoom or Droid X.
Did you guys get prompted to sync music after the initial upload was done?

Yes, its a setting under preferences if you want it to always look for new content.
I think they opened the floodgates today. At least, that's what engadget is reporting. Got mine also; I think I might love it...

It's not showing as a setting to sync music on either DX or Xoom.
I have the latest music app on both devices...

gotcha, my uploads are going fine, just wondering why I'm not seeing anything on android yet. Guess I'm just too impatient.
how does it handle duplicate music stored locally on your xoom and uploaded to google music?

It must generate some hash, because it considered the ones I already had on my xoom as downloaded.
My playlists have started syncing, I guess it just took some time for the servers to play catchup, but i'm at about 1946 - 29090 files uploaded.
Must just take time. Let mine finish uploading overnight. Opened music app this morning on the DX and now when I hit the menu button I get a settings option to control synced music. Everything shows up now.

I uploadeed about 11 albums last night. One thing i really hate is the uploading program. Amazon has google beat there big time. The music manager program locks up a lot and tries to re-upload everything. I'm not sure what the lock up is from im sure its not the specs of my netbook causing it cause they are better then some desktops. Heres to hoping google makes a better way to upload.
I can't even sync at all??
Here is the updated iheartradio apk for those looking for it.

Thank you very much
Thanks, ive been looking for this since they replaced it with the new garbage 4.0 version.
4.0.0 is actually a stable version, despite the new interface
i have managed to get it with Market Enabler, and comparing to the last **** buggy version, i can actually parallel browse the web without sound glitches and interruptions caused by the bad coding of v3. also another solved bug, on my phone, no matter what rom or kernel i used, iheartradio v3 only worked glitch free minimised in the background. whenever i opened it, it worked great for few seconds, and suddenly the constant glitching started. how stupid was that.
v4 is amazing! although it might consume a bit more of bandwidth while downloading a background image cover for each song ... and there's missing the song name from the task bar, the name of the radio replaced that
anyway, stable as hell!!!! and now i can actually play games in parallel, it's that lite!
Bump
OP updated to V4 for those who need/want it.
I know V4 is stabler then V3. Its an issue with the interface. Its looks cheap and gawdy compared to the black V3 interface, its not as quick, and i have to sign in to facebook now just to save my favorite stations. Ill deal with the audio cutting out for a second every now and then to keep the old version.
Please dont ever take down the link in case we need it later on.

I'll keep all the versions posted from now on.
Fantastic! Thanks so much!
new update with more bugs solved
i wish they'd extend the buffering, because i'm always losing 3g signal in the bus while switching between sector antennas, and reconnecting takes annoying seconds... - edit: aparently we 'might' have an extended buffer in this version
Please can someone put the new .apk from the 4.0.1. here?

after a lot of google research in restricted market apps, i have found market enabler, but the market was updated so it will not work with ME. the only fix is to uninstall the updated market, but that crashed my phone.
so anyway, i have tried the appbrain app and it actually redirects your phone to the restricted market app install page
happy updating
i can confirm that the small buffer bug has been fixed! this app is almost perfect
And think how much simpler it would have been to just upload the file! lol
Your instructions worked great, thanks.
Here is iheartradio 4.0.1 for those of you looking for the easy way out.
Thanks a lot!

yes but you don't expect people waiting every single time for the file to be uploaded here like i did
the easy way out is to get it yourself when you need it!
There is a new update for Iheartradio v.4.0.2. Can someone put up the new .apk file? Thanks a lot.

I live in Brazil and Market restrict this app. =/ I tried AppBrain and did not work either.
Appbrain is also not working for Iheartradio here in Europe so if someone can put up the new .apk file. Thanks a million already.
updated OP with 4.0.2
Hi,
I'm running SKYICS 4.2E last update and would like to know how to listen to a web radio via browser and do anything else on my phone..... like I could do when listening to my mp3 player.
I've used the search button.... looked in few forums and still don't know how to do this...
Thanks,
Punky.

What about using a radio app like TuneIn? That runs in the background pretty well and has a great selection of radio stations. There are others as well, in the android market. The apps tend to be a bit more stable than running radio through the browser.
Thanks for your suggestion but my local radio station could not be reached without the browser...
For my needs, listening to radio via the web browser is just fine and stable.
On my laptop at work running vista, I could listen to it via the browser and do anything else without any problem.... Same thing at home on my other laptop which is running Ubuntu..... and that since at least 5-6 years...
Is it because Android is not able to do real multitasking or am I missing something ?
Punky.
If you are running ics then u should be able to open the web browser and turn on ur music then hold the home button and go back to what u want to work on. Thats how it works on mine

It does not work like this on my telephone........
If I'm listening to my things on the web browser and hold the home button, it brings me the list of applications.....
As soon I choose another application.... no more sound !
Same thing with the Youtube application. Could not 'listen' to the content and do anything else.

I am not sure about the radio station you are referencing, but the ones I listen to through internet browsers use flash applets, which typically do not run in the background. Android does "multi-task" for most things, but flash is not designed to work in the background on Android. (For one thing, it is pretty resource-intensive) Have you tried alternate browsers (like opera or dolphin)? Sometimes the alternate browsers do better with flash.
YouTube, to my knowledge, has never worked in the background.
Thanks for the infos !
Did not know flash could not be run in background and more surprised and disappointed that windows could handle this better than Android !
I've tried with Dophin and Opera and got the same result.
For youtube.... don't understand why it's the same.
Isn't it supposed to be the OS which should take care of the multitasking ?
Punky.
Just found a hint on how to run Flash web page in background.

Or you might try IHeartRadio and see if your channel is on there. Most of my locals are and it will use the GPS sensor to detect your region and display your local channels available for streaming.

I found a potential fix for meta data stream for Pandora but I have no idea how to apply this, here is the link for the patch: https://github.com/loganakamatsu/PandoraAVRCP any help would be greatly appreciated and may have a donation if confirmed working!
Anyone?
I was also interested in this for use with the MyFord Touch system in my car, but the instructions provided on that website, as posted, never worked for me. After a few hours of tinkering, I got it to work. Modified Pandora 1.7.1 APK is attached. Install via ADB
adb install -r pandora_1.7.1-avrcp-signed.apk
I did a quick test after install and it was forwarding the song info as expected. Enjoy!

Any chance you could also fix Spotify ?
https://github.com/loganakamatsu/SpotifyAVRCP
Pandora 4.1 AVRCP\Unlimited Skips\No Ads
Attached is the modded APK Jleech330 had sent me with support for AVRCP and no ads and unlimited skips.
I have tested the application, and it does open and function, but I am not near my car so i can not test the AVRCP functions, but it should work.
NOTES:
Just a heads up to anyone who wants to use this Pandora apk file with no ads and unlimited skips; USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. If Pandora bans your account for skipping too many songs, please do not try and hold me liable. Consider yourself warned.
DOWNLOAD:
Pandora 4.1 AVRCP\Unlimited Skips\No Ads
Just Sharing!!!
So in laymen's terms ... Is this the normal Pandora app but tweaked to enable unlimited listening? It still functions the same as the app I have now?

Yes, but also displays song info via Bluetooth on newer radios equipped to do so.
I can confirm that AVRCP metadata is working fine with my car radio. Thanks H3rnand3zz!

Any chance of getting 4.2 ad-free with AVRCP?
There is some discussion of it here:
http://www.9thgencivic.com/forum/au...-support-android-album-track-information.html
This is a link to ad-free 4.2, i think from Rydah (?)
http://db.tt/loyHIPBj
I have both 4.2 adfree and unlimited skips. I would love to get AVRCP added to it.

Hi Friends,
Would love your feedback on our app - AirStream
We have built this awesome app using which you can access your files from Computer on Mobile devices from anywhere in the world. As you might have also experienced most of our data like movies, music, photos & even important work documents are still residing in our computers. Even today there is no easy way to access them on Mobile devices. But with our solution this is as easy as using Dropbox, imagine accessing all your files from your computer from anywhere in the world without any limit on GBs.
What you will love:
1. Access alll your drives & files
2. Easy & quick movie streaming
3. Integrated music player.. create playlists, import playlists, etc
4. Access computer over 3G/4G
Attached are the new builds that we will release on Google Play. Would love to hear your thoughts.
Procedure:
1. Install the apk in android
2. Copy the .jar version of AirStream desktop client to your computer & run it.
3. Login on both ends using the same credentials.
(both the .apk & .jar have been zipped due to size constraints. We have a .msi version but not able to upload due to size constraints)
Check the screenshots for your reference.
Awaiting your feedback.. feel free to reach us at [email protected]
Edit::
An older version of this is available on Google Play. The changes to the new version are:
1. Patched AirStream-Sky functionality on Android. Older version had a bug which prevented the app from accessing computer on external network. (There is still a issue on Desktop app, which sometimes require a router reset to access computer on external network)
2. Added indicator to notify whether the app is working on Local Wifi network or external network.
3. Much better graphics & UX. The app is much slicker & smoother than older one.

Right now the playback controls are only on the mobile app. Windows client only acts as a server, you login and it allows the mobile device to connect with it. Media playback & everything else is done from the Mobile app.. Hope you find is useful

thanks for the share and much appreciations.
i can only access my device SD, i can't access the external SD on my device.
This seems like it could help me a lot from work.
Thank you for sharing. I'll definitely give this app a workout. :highfive:
Tested browser and transfer (only download from PC to mobile) on the same network, all work fast and smooth!
Hope it can transfer from mobile to PC/mobile, too!
Hi, got this up and going in a few minutes. It's awesome! Something I've been looking for in an FTP like client/server setup. The beautiful thing is AirStream's simplicity. Streamed music straight away and have yet to attempt a transfer. I understand server to client functionality is fully functional. I'm experiencing it. Is the reverse true of transfers? That is, client to server. I did see someone else ask this question yet it hadn't been answered as of this writing. Thanks for the app and sharing all the work you've placed into its development. Cool. Practical. User-friendly. Literally up and running in under 7-10 minutes! Sweet

Thank you very much for this!
Tested on my Xperia Z and working great but the speed is slow in HFS is more faster,any way great job
Awesome app!!!. Ive been looking for something like this as my router wont allow me to forwad ports no matter what I do!.
Its simple which I love and works like a charm.
Only thing id like to see its an automatic cache clear on exit as going through android/data annoys me a little, But thankyou very much for this :victory:
tested @ inew v3 and workind great ! Very simple and easy application :good:
sweet ap:highfive: but I can seem to access files on my pc through this app using mobile data.
Thank you, just what I have searched form. Any way to run this app in linux headless server ?
