[REQ]Zune media player, possible or not - Epic 4G Android Development

Now I am no dev but I was wondering if it would be possible to create a media player that can sync with the desktop zune software and have a similar UI that plays all my protected content. I love my zune hd but part of the reason I bought this phone is so I only need to carry one device for all my multimedia needs. If this is possible ad there are any devs willing to work I would gladly make a donation of $50-$100 for a working app

I would wager 10x that amount that it will never happen..
I have a ZuneHD and f*ckin love it. However, Microsoft won't do it because thats one of the big draws for WP7, and we can't do it because there is no code to base it on. It's all Microsoft's protected content.
However, there is one option. I don't think its against any XDA rules to post this, and if it is I'll remove it, but I won't put links anyway. Just look up Daniusoft Digital Media Converter. I know it's expensive, ~$50 I think, but I bought it, and it's totally worth it. I have gotten way more use than that out of it. It'll let you convert your Zune Pass music to MP3 and then you can sync it to your Android with Doubletwist & the like. I know it's more work, but it does work.

But at that point, why not just download torrents with higher quality music? I mean, you could make the argument I guess that you have a right to that music even though you are explicitly only renting it .? ?.? . Save the 50 dollars and just join a good private torrent site like what or waffles.
Also, to the OP, if you only want to carry the Epic 4g for all of your multimedia needs, why do you need it to sync with the Zune software? I assume its because of the zune pass?

I don't know. I find this easier than torrent sites TBH. I'm a lazy ass, and I paid for convenience lol. This way it keeps all the metadata, and I don't have to sort it manually, and I do feel better in that I did actually pay for the music in one way or another.

I don't subscribe to zunepass or anything, I just have a lot of songs and movies I've paid for and would like them on my phone, and TBH I really like the zune media player interface

For a zune interface, they do have a zune home replacement launcher but it's pretty awful. Really if you want the zune media interface get a windows phone 7... what you're asking for is foolish to be frank.

If you paid for movies and music, it should be drm free, then just transfer it to your sd card. Its what I do.

Not sure how you could call it foolish? It is widely accepted that the zune hd has a great interface. It is also very simple and would be fairly easy for an android developer to make a clone of it. The fact that no one has is pretty surprising. Hooking in drm and zunepass is obviously not gonna fly with ms but that is not what the op wants, and that is not needed. If someone made a fluid zune clone for the marketplace and sold it for a few bucks a I bet they could make a killing.

What do you mean they didnt play? I have the zune pass and with my ten songs a month. Those tracks are currently on my phone and they place with no problem. Videos as well. I did how ever have to use rockplayer for the videos. But the stock player worked fine for the mp3's.
Edit: I also did have to edit the tags to get them to show up... Can just edit the tags, right click the file -> props then add in whats needed. Forgot that part. =p

After reading what he said up there ^^ WMA is not bought and paid for... Everything I have paid for was converted to mp3. If it stayed WMA and with DRM, then it would be pointless to buy it. =p

Pretty non-obtrusive ads for us in countries without a paid market, good call by developers.
Been using the leaked alpha up until now, but replaced it with this version
Could somebody explain to me why this app needs permission to read phone state and identity (heading: phone calls).
Seems odd...but curious!
The beta was cool as fook, but now the audio lags then catches up. Joke app now...
Reverted to mplayer as i don't have avi's anyway, and has brightness memory, cool

So it knows when you are getting a call so it can pause the video.
Does anyone know if the paid version has the R logo, or is that removed, along with ads, when you pay the $10?
I used the alpha without the R logo until now, but this looks better (better scaling mainly), though the R is a deal-breaker for me.
App has been updated to fix lag issues.
The paid version does not have the red R logo
I don't understand why they can't just have a Paid Version on the market....
*LIGHT BULB*
They want to take full profit from the sale instead of letting Google handle the transaction..
I for one want to support them since I've been using their Beta version
HOWEVER!!!!!... Since it is only registered to the Phone IMEI... *since they are trying to avoid Google Tariffs..... Switching Phones will require you to purchase it again....
I FOR ONE WILL NOT BUY IT OUT OF PRINCIPLE.... What I pay for should be a global one time payment... knowing myself. I will get the *Nexus Two* and follow Google assuming they don't switch Manufacturers.. *COUGH* MOTOROLA SUCKS
OK...
this is crap, or I am stupid
1. i have a few *.m4v videos that show up in the lists of stock player and mVideoPlayer, but don't show up in RockPlayer (although RockPlayer can play them, when i un-check "show media files only" (so that EVEN RockPlayer can see them... and click them in RockPlayer...)
2. when i am in a file explorer, and click on *.m4v the pop up window only offers choice of stock player and mVideoPlayer
3. The option "use as system player" doesn't seem to have an effect.
4. Rockplayer does not offer a consolidated list of videos on its home GUI?????????? I have to click through my file system to find all my videos individually????
5. paypal payment method.... no way to refund???????
... why again is this better than mVideoPlayer???

I have uninstalled the software and have no intention to use it ever again.
Just as I expected my refund request to PayPal was declined by the seller.
In his response to my refund request he didn't even comment on any of my complaints, just provided a simple "i am sorry to hear it" and an explanation of what "use RockPlayer as system player" means (= using the phone's hardware acceleration (not sure whether it's true or not).
Exactly what posters above are worried about: if you are not satisfied, you have no way to refund and for every new phone you would have to acquire a new license because the license is hooked to the phone's ID.
I strongly advise against using the PayPal scheme
i have escalated to PayPal, because I have already uninstalled and since I am not using the software would like to have a full refund.

Paypal will refund you mate im sure,
I think its very underhanded of this company (if its a company and just not a small time dev) to not refund you...
I would not enter into any transactions outside of Google Market as your totally protected.
I would also tell everyone to avoid this app like the plague, and install Mvideo player, its about a thousand times better....
If your bothered about AVI playback, just convert, simples

does it recognize *.avi file as media file? or do you have to disable "show only media files" to see it?
does the audio lag come back when you scroll forward or backward?
mmh... does it show all video media files at start up page, or do we still have to manually sift through our file structure to find the videos individually?

Listen to my zune collection on my evo?

I really wish there was a zune app for android as well that let me stream/use my zune collection however since it is microsoft owned and run i highly doubt we will ever see it. May have to switch to rhapsody soon and stop streaming from mp3 for the ability to stream from phone (mp3 player has a lot more music to choose from so I think it would be much more worth while to have the streaming capability on the device with less music)
any way if you find a 3rd party app or some way to do this please post it
I would recommend Subsonic(subsonic.org). It would need a dedicated computer to run on and host your music files, but you would then be able to stream your entire music library anywhere that you have an internet connection.
It does have some quirks but for the most part its pretty awesome. It even comes with an android app but you will have to 'donate' to use it.
Edit: Guess I should mention that you wouldn't be able to play protected files, and afik you would never be able to unless MS released a Zune pass for linux(which most likely will never happen).
you could try rdio its pretty awesome, works pretty much just like a zune pass except you can use it on iphones, android phones, and your computer. i use it with the evo and its pretty sweet. i dropped my zune pass subscription for it, although i do miss ripping the drm out of the the zune pass music i used to download lol

lol Same on drm. I will have to take a look at it. the main reason i have a zune pass is i have a zune MP3 player which doesnt support streaming from things like subsonic etc. I love the smart dj feature on it letting it find new music for me but i find myself leaving it at home and just using the 100 or so songs i have on my phone more and more. Will let you know what i think thanks for the input
Yeah rdio has a smart DJ thing too. They call it artist radio. Its a little hardbto find in app right bow but the app devs really listen to their customers will actually make it much easier to use artist radio in next release. App is updated pretty regularly.
edit: they actually just updated the app now to use the artist radio you can just long press on an artist in your collection
this app just gets better and better

Gmote works well for streaming my mp3s from my home pc to my EVO. It can stream over 3g/4g or via wifi (but only on your home network. I haven't found a way to stream remotely with wifi).
Homepipe works pretty well as both a FTP client and mp3 streamer.
I am using Subsonic now because it streams over 3g/4g and wifi seamlessly. The only problem I am having with it is that after I installed the hosting software on my home PC my browser got hijacked to redirect to the subsonic log-in but the address is always "ad.doubleclick" or some other ad-type place. I am trying to figure it out.
EDIT: Updated my Hosts file and switched to a less obvious port and all is golden now. Subsonic is now my fave music app!
EDIT 2:I've discovered that Subsonic copies the music files to your SD card. Not a problem if I just remember to clean up every once in a while.

Why would you need to sync over 3G? If you're not home, your music collection isn't being updated at home. I suggest an alternative like Amazon's Cloud Player Storage, which is free 5GB, or pay 69cents for a song and get 20 GB for a year free.
Actually, I should have worded it better. I don't actually want my music to wireless sync. I just want it to be able to wirelessly stream the music from my iTunes to my device. I don't want any actual mp3s stored on the SD card. Saw a video of this working at a Google IO event, I believe, and was just wondering if any apps were out there that has this ability.

Yeah, that's what doubletwist does. The problem is Apple doesn't play nice with other devices, so DoubleTwist fills the void. It takes your iTunes playlists and puts them onto your Android device. I don't use their streaming or wireless sync, I just plug in using a cable and connect that way.
Many like the Doubletwist program, but the issue I have with it is it doesn't have an equalizer built in so the audio is poor, but fortunately it even adds the playlists to the built in Music player in Android, so that Equalizer works great!
Give it a shot, I think it's what you're looking for.

Been reading up on the app and from my understanding, the wireless sync option saves a copy of your music on the SD card and then creates the same playlist you have on your iTunes. Going to give it a shot, but I'm still searching for an app that wirelessly streams all the music on your computer without saving hard copies on the SD card.

Amazons crashes more often, and has more ui issues. Google Music Beta crashes 1/4 tp 1/10 as often, and the ui works better for "caching" music offline.

Oh, I have tried them both and of course Google is better as for things working the way you would expect. Like actual monitoring of the folders instead of uploading or launching the music manager to add music.

Google Music Censoring....

Any way to get it to stop replacing explicit songs i upload with their censored version? A grown man should be able to hear the word **** if he damn well pleases to.
And no, the "block explicit songs" option is not enabled
When you upload a song, it wont use your version unless you're the first to do so. Google wont waste space having a million copies of the same track.
Unfortunately its probably that a censored version was uploaded by someone else.
I would expect them to have one of each up there but that may not always be the case

actually yes it does.
But still, me having to go through thousands of songs to do this (yes, pretty much every explicit song is censored, havent found any of my original uncensored versions yet) is a bit tedious and shouldnt be a problem in the first place. O well, back to power amp with my downloaded music i go.
Interesting, none of my songs ever matched at all. Maybe it's because most of my library had volume levels normalized using Replay Gain.

I think that the upload functionality of Play Music is primarily meant as a supplement for things that are not available for purchase/subscription, as there are plenty of issues they haven't ironed out like the one you posted. Hence why it's free, I guess.

its a shame, this freed up 5 gigs of internal for me. Really hurting for a sd card slot now. Though i do have the meenova card reader, i dont really wanna have to keep it in 24/7.
Hopefully someone comes up with a case that has a built in OTG card reader at some point. Thats money im willing to spend without hesitation
Have you looked at Amazon's cloud player? It's really a good solution as a music locker.
Actually I wonder if my accident could be your solution. What if you wiped your Google Music account clean, normalized the audio level of all your local MP3s using Replay Gain (e.g. MP3Gain), and then re-uploaded? The adjusted files may not be recognized as matching Google's tracks, which would then avoid any clean-ification.
Or possibly clean up the ID3 tags first as well. That's one thing I did with all my downloaded music before adding to iTunes (and by extension Google) - fixed the ID3 using a batch editor and applied Replay Gain.

Any way to get it to stop replacing explicit songs i upload with their censored version? A grown man should be able to hear the word **** if he damn well pleases to.
And no, the "block explicit songs" option is not enabled

It's extremely irritating and very arbitrary. Everything by Queens of the Stone Age is censored, for example. Plenty of either bands are not. So annoying.
