For all those Zune lovers out there, you know my pain. Zune is a wonderful program that has a great interface, and I was hoping that I could find something on Android like it.
I know of Cubed's theme that kind of looks like a Zune interface, but I was hoping for something closer to the Zune experience
I see there are concepts for apps on XDA, but are there any working Zune-like music player available for Android?
Thanks for the help everyone!

hi guys, I've had decided to (try to) code an app simular to what I used on an old Sony Ericsson (t68 and s700i) which could remote control Windows Media player via Bluetooth, and and download which I had that done the same for winamp and would also list the playlist.
At the moment this is in the idea stage, as far as I have worked out, its going to need to be a server/client app.
Being new to Qt this may take some time lol but always found deep end is best place to learn lol. does anyone have any pointers in direction to look for info on something like this, or how to pass information, commands rather than files via bluetooth?
soon as I get anywhere I'll post updates.
thanks for any info thrown my way.

Hi folks...
I'm just developing a software, which shall make the music tab start playing.
I don't know how I could do, because I've neither found a SDK to control the Sense Music Tab nor can I find any shortcuts I could use to control it.
May anybody of you has a link to the documentation of the Music Tab...
Thanks a lot in advance,

Here is my new issue with WP7....Google has listen, I believe iOS has another podcast streamer/updater. WHY IN THE WORLD CAN'T WE UPDATE OR STREAM PODCASTS IN ZUNE!!!!?!?!? The Zune suite is the main reason I went with WP7, this seems like such an easy feature to bundle in the OS.
thoughts?
They showed off podcast support in the music app at MIX, but you'll have to wait for mango before you get it. I was debating returning to android but after seeing the future of WP7 at MIX, I'm sticking with WP7.
I subscribe to several (video) podcasts (i.e. College Humor) in the Zune software on my desktop and then wirelessly update them each night. It would be nice if I could manage them from the phone directly, but it works well enough syncing to my home computer.
Zune software / Marketplace / Podcasts....
I have an Arrive, but I'm pretty sure that doesn't matter.
Just wait until Mango... Along with better podcast support, Mango will be bringing a lot of features to Windows Phone 7.
Just curious if anyone know's the best way to do this.. Google music only works for andriod and grooveshark is not working anymore.. Any ideas?
tonido works well
There's a subsonic app for WP7 as well..
Just need the server component at home..

The already mentioned apps work fine, but you might probably take a look at MyMedia WP7.
Not saying this is the best. Windows Home Server 2011 and MS app My Home Server works here to stream media to the phone. Just another possibility if you happen to have Windows Home Server..
Thank you all very much, going to try out mymedia sounds pretty good.
Here is a question that's been on my mind. With WP8 dropping Zune and moving to XboX Music will us 7.8 users be stuck with Zune? Will we get XboX Music or some lame MP3 player? I know people say that all XboX Music is a re-branding of Zune but that is not so because XboX Music and the App Store will be seprate from eachother wheres Zune is intergated.I would like to hear comments, ideas and concepts weather possotive or negative.:good:
Since 7.8 is kind of a major upgrade, that is UI changes and hopefully includes a bit of WP8 features, I'd say there's a fat chance on this one since Microsoft wants a streamlined service across their devices.
I would be quite shocked if Xbox Music and Zune Pass weren't the same on the back end. Zune (marketplace and pass) have existed since well before the WP7 Marketplace, or even before the Zune HD app "store". It is "integrated" into Marketplace on the phone only in the sense that the same UI is used to access both of them, but that doesn't really mean much - for example, near-identical UIs are used for Facebook messaging and SMS. As for authentication, all three of Zune services, Xbox services, and WP7 Marketplace are all tied to the same identifier: your Gamertag (Zune used to call it a Zune Tag, but it was just another name for the same thing). There's no reason to expect rebranding from Zune to Xbox is going to change anything; they'e already the same on the back end!
