Hi Guys
Now that the voodoo sound kernels are out i would love to use nexus as my main music player but i simply cant fit my libary on.. all my music is 15gb. Ive seen some apps like subsonic but u need to leave your computer on all the time..
Are there any better solutions like shrinking the music or something like that? Really bugging me

I've mentioned this before, and I'd hope it'd be launching today but it did not: Google Music, as it is currently known, will search your computer for music and then give you access to the music you already own to be streamed to another device while also allowing you to buy more music.
Yeah i heard about that It really sucks though, spotify is ok but they dont have everything i want lol

I understand the issue...I have 65 gigs of music which I've trimmed down to 32gigs for my iPod and now I would rather use the most convenient solution of my phone but I don't know how I can cut it down that much.
How did you cut down to 32? Just didnt transfer all of it?

...pretty much? Its an iPod. You can fill it with however much you want you just have to turn off autofill.
I do love the nexus s but for the life of me wish it had a card slot.. lol..

Ya...I'm starting to understand the complaint =/
Two of the best options that I have tested that are available now are Audiogalaxy and Subsonic.
Audio galaxy is extremely simple to setup and is a pure streaming option as it does not cache the songs to your device. It has an option to stream the music in high quality or in lower quality if you are in a non 3g/wifi area. Also, its 100% free.
Subsonic is more difficult to setup because you have to enable port forwarding on your router. Some people do no like to open up ports on their router because of the potential security risk. Subsonic not only streams the music to your device but it also cache's to your internal storage which comes in handy if your signal drops. Another feature is via a web page you can download any song in your library, my brother downloaded have of my library from his pc at his house. The web service is free but after an initial 30 day trial the android app costs, cant remember how much atm.
Overall I prefer audiogalaxy for its simplicity and ease of use.
Do you find it heavy on your data usage?
The main issue I have with audiogalaxy and subsonic is that you need to have your computer (source) constantly on or else you wont be able to stream it to your phone.
mspot is a good choice to put your music directly onto its servers so you can play it from the cloud. however it only offers 2gb free and if you want 10gb+ of online storage you have to pay per month.
I have decided to go with grooveshark and rdio for my music streaming. at least i get an endless selection of songs and I can download the songs and albums Im interested in listening to at that point in time.

There is an easy setup guide for subsonic. Just search subsonic here and it should show up. I'd prefer subsonic over audiogalaxy simply because it supports folder structures. I don't use playlists much because all of my music are organized via folders.

Subsonic only uses data if the music isn't cached on your phone already. So if you find yourself listening to different music every single day, then it might use a lot of data. Otherwise, if the music is already saved in your storage, it will just play it from there rather than streaming it again. You can also set up the storage size you want it to take up on your internal storage. I set mine up at 500 MB.
Also, subsonic is supporting videos. Not all formats yet since they are still working on it, but they are supporting one video format (forgot what it was).
I really like media room. in terms of interface and convenience, I havent found any other music apps that compare. but I dont like slacker radio. i dont use it, and in fact it freezes my phone when i try to open it. i know that i can just simply not use it, but does anyone know if it can actually be removed from media room?
I have recently made the jump to ICS and have been looking for the best Music app for my phone. I have found i really like the CM9 music app minus a couple reasons, One being when i select an artist there is no way by default for it to show all the songs, Instead, i have to select the artist THEN the album its in, the problem with that is almost all my music has wrong/no album data at all leaving my music hard to find while browsing artist which to me is the best way to browse my music. Secondly, the app is slow. its always freezing up on me and is sometimes unusable. this may be the rom im running (Hypernonsense) but i doubt it could be when everything runs just fine. Please let me know if anyone else is having this problem, thanks.
poweramp is the best music app in the market but i actually use the htc stock one which has Beats audio and using cm9 that has never happened to me
Well considering you fall for the beats audio gimmick your mp3/music app opinion is invalid.
i also said that when i tried cm9 i have never had any freezing or slow scrolling

Harsh. Beats isn't a gimmick, per se. It's just a dressed up bass equalizer. I like it, but I know it's no better than my old Sansa's bass EQ.
I've noticed that it gets really slow too. Especially when it has finished playing an album. It'll get really slow and it's really annoying when you want to scroll for something else. Bizarre little bug. I've not moved back to any other player though. It's still my favourite.
cm9 music app blows. constantly freezes if you try skipping 2 songs fast it freezes. thing sucks if you actually use it daily rather than just tried it out once or twice
I've been using it as a daily driver for two weeks. No issues.
CM9 Music player is only sluggish for me when it's playing music.
The alternative I use is PowerAmp. It's great. Go get it~
I had the same problems - fine at first but unusable after a few songs. I was never able to find a solution.
Out of all the music players I've tried (Google Music, CM9, and the HTC one) I actually like the HTC player the best. It just seems better organized and the playlist management works much better IMO.
Alright I've searched and searched what im looking for is any music player other than the oem music player that has the capability to change the output to my stereo via wifi the stock gs3 is garbage freezes and has problems doing this without force closing ive looked and looked and havent found anything that has this function , Im so used to using it on my htc's stock music player and it always worked without a problem. Dont really want to root the phone because im selling it in near future just looking for a little alternative if possible . any ideas thanks maybe i over looked a player in the app store
Ive been looking on the play store for hours now and searching on google for an app that can download music and/or videos to the phone itself. There are plenty on the store, but they all either am not what I'm looking for or dont work. I would want to just be able to download music or any supported media from (preferably) a built in browser, to a location on my phone or sd card that I can specify. Like maybe I want to download a song from mp3skull or some other file sharing site, I want to just be able to download it from there easily. All the ones I have looked at and tried dont work in one way or the other. I really dont want to have to download what I want on my pc and transfer it over to my phone each time i want to put a song or video or some other file on my phone. I have a GS5, btw. I used to be able to do this on my ipod touch, with an app that was something like this. With that app I could just use the built in browser, go to a file sharing site or something of the sort, hold down the link or video/song, and an option to download would come up, then that media would download into the app and I could view/listen to that content from the app... I want something similar to this, but except I can specify where I want the content to download to, like my music folder on my SD Card. Is there anything you recommend? Again, everything I try on the Play Store that is even remotely relevant to what I want doesnt work... even the big apps with 5,000,000 downloads dont want to work right now, and the reviews dont lie when I actually try the apps for myself.
Do I have more options available to achieve my goal if I root? Im planning to root soon anyways.
Any recommendations, advice? Thanks in advnace!

I use TubeMate for downloading music off youtube, its not on the play store - http://tubemate.net/
Not sure if it supports other websites though
Also, you may have tried it already but this app, DownDroid, can help you perhaps - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.castillo.dd&hl=en
Double Twist or 4shared Music
You can Download DoubleTwist or
4shared music from Google Play
UI of double twist is better than 4shared
