I want to upgrade the music player to the honeycomb music player only forty the cloud sync feature, but will it work. I know that it works on cm7, but will it work on a stock nxs with root
Don't think so, at least I tried once before going to CM7 but it did not work.
From what I've read around it seems that google has shut off the servers to phones that shouldn't have the honeycomb music player. So your phone just sits there and says syncing forever, but doesn't actually do anything. Anyone wanna correct me on this however?

Has anyone tried or managed to get working, the Honeycomb music player on Gingerbread? This is seriously the best music player (imo), and it worked perfectly on Serendipity with the last Glitterball kernel. But I can't find the original apk I had used on froyo, and the ones I've tried on Gingerbread w/ xcal's kernelf force crash every time I try to play music. I mean, the app loads, and shows my music and I can scroll through everything, but when I go to play, it FCs.
hey everyone. first let me explain. when cyanogen dropped support for wma on moving from cm6 to cm7 i was crushed. because im one of the odd people that have 2 computers. one is a windows media library which is a mix of wmas and mp3s and the other is an itunes library. which has apples formatting back from when i used an ipod. now i want all. ALL of my music on my phone. i have always been to lazy to cram all my music through a converter because that would take forever. well google music beta users. i have a solution for you. im sure many of you have already figured this out. but for anyone who doesn't have music beta yet or don't care. this may change your mind.
when music is uploaded to google music it it is converted automatically. but unlike doing it with some other program, the albums stay together and it all gets done at once!. 2 birds 1 stone. then go on your android device. phone tablet. get the music app. and wait for it to prompt you to sign in to google music. then hit menu and make available offline. check off all of your music that you want. and let it download! anything you uploaded in wma will play on your phone now because google did the converting dirty work for you
I have not tired this with itunes yet. but being music beta supports it im assuming this works with many more unsupported formats other then wma.
i hope this helps some people. i know it would help me
Excellent news, thanks for the heads up. I am gonna side load the apk now.
I live in the UK and we have to side load at the moment.
Right now i am using a motorola triumph. out of my big library of music, there are several songs that won't play in any music app i use. says this type of audio file is not supported. this also happened on my Optimus V before this phone. same files. every one of my songs is mp3, so thats not the issue. I tried cm7(gingerbread) on my triumph for fun to test, and THE SONGS I HAD PROBLEMS WITH ACTUALLY PLAY!, but froyo is more stable as a main phone right now so i am back to froyo, but wish i could play these songs. any ideas?
I have the same issue. Have you tried WikiTune? I was having this issue last weekend and installed that. It seems to work but haven't put it through the ringer yet. I've also had it play a song half way through and then just stop.
plays fine on my computer and my ipad, just not on 2.2 android
Third party applications are the key, lol. Are the songs you're having trouble with perchance ones that were just added to the sd card? In that case, you would be due for either a rescan or a reboot.
Otherwise try some third-party apps, and consider running the troublesome mp3 files through a media converter on your PC. It can't hurt...

This is a pretty good one that I use. It has alot of features. https://market.android.com/details?id=com.tunewiki.lyricplayer.android&feature=search_result
A factory reset should help, you can try poweramp also.
I'm sure for most of us this is our first device with non-removable storage. Welcome to iphone-ville territory (WHY HTC?). Anyway, for those of us who enjoy music on a regular basis and prefer not to store all of our music on the phone, what app do you use to cloud-sync? I've tried google music but it seems limited and the upload is very slow. So what is your preferred method to listen to music?
Pandora and Grooveshark!
those apps are good for random playlists. But im talking about your own personal music library. I like the htc music app, but its useless if I can't store my entire music library.
Google Music upload is slow? Are you kidding me? I mean, maybe the initial upload - but after that, it's super fast and auto adds songs you add to your music collection instantly. I love it.
I like and pay for Spotify.
It integrates my itunes collection including playlists and I can sync whatever I want for offline playback.
I pay for Spotify as well and Im coming from Zune marketplace, of which I loved! Spotify is just as good imo and I don't find that it sucks my battery dry within an hour either.
Google Music and Spotify.
Off topic slightly but since some of use google music where and how does it store music for off line listening? Does it store them as actual MP3 files or something else and how do remove them when no longer wanted? Thanks in advance

Not sure how it is stored, but basically you go to the Music app, then you hold down on an album, hit "Make availible offline" and it downloads is somewhere. Then after you want to delete it, hold down on it again, and uncheck "Make availible offline" Its really awesome, try it out if you haven't already.

yeah thats what im referring to when I speak of uploading. Good to know it gets faster because that was my only issue with google music.
Audiogalaxy hands down. The best sound quality out there (IF YOU HAVE A GOOD QUALITY LIBRARY) You stream your own personal library from home. You can log in from any computer anywhere and have your playlists and library. it caches wonderfully. sounds better than pandora, slacker, tune in, iheart, lastfm all of them. All my music is either lossless or itunes aac highest quality and it sounds amazing. It uses your itunes playlist also. the best thing is its FREE! 5 of my friends are logged in to my library at all times.. its in the market.. Audiogalaxy
yeah I just downloaded audiogalaxy. It uploads alot faster than google music. Liking it alot so far
Check Amazon MP3 player.
Audio galaxy is OK if your fine with being the server ... instead of Google...

amazon got my monies ages ago with prime, and then they released their mp3 service before google. I honestly don't like how google music adds random tracks based on your "likes" I have a zune and zune pass, when I wanna explore I do it there.
I download all my music from zune and then upload the mp3s to amazon and call it a day.
I keep a solid 2gb on my phone, the rest is easily streamed with my unlimited LTE plan, and if you root and install either rogers or asia rom (I have asia) you don't even have to worry about att throttling your data
Ok Folks before you flame me, please allow me to elaborate:
yes, i DID search (but couldn't find anything specific).
yes, I DID try several things on my own (see below for details)
yes, the things I'm looking for in specific seem to not exist in one package.
Ok, with that disclaimer, the setup
AT&T Galaxy note running Black Star V2 with Apex Launcher 1.2.2 / Android ICS 4.04. (Please note that these issues ALSO APPLY TO THE STOCK Gingerbread software that came with the phone).
Ok folks in short, I am looking for a music player that can do ALL 3 of the following (every single music player I tried, and I tried tens literally does 1 or 2 out of the following list, but not all):
1.) Pin-lock friendly lock screen music controls (my email is an Exchange acount which enforces a pin lock) [Poweramp does this well]
2.) Persistent player controls even when no music is playing (this is VERY helpful to start playing music after a while) [Cloudskipper is the only player I know of that does this!]
3.) Full bluetooth track / ID3 streaming to the stereo. I don't think this issue has to do with the bluetooth stack because the stock player and/or Google Play music both work. However, their UI (and/or lock screens suck big time)!
Software I have tried:
MixZing
CloudSkipper
Stock Android music player
Google play Music player
Apollo
doubletwist
Winamp
Poweramp
Rocket Music Player
Zimly
Songbird
PlayerPro
n7player
MusicXmatch
NRG Player
Astro Player
(and more that I can't remember off the top of my head).
Can someone please help?
PS: Sorry if this is posted in the wrong forum. I had no idea where to post it.
I'd settle for option 3 only. I don't like the stock player either, but it's the only one that sends the music info to my carkit.
I haven't tried as much as you, but I haven't found any yet that do this.
Im with you dude, It would be nice if I could see what songs are being played on my deck. But android doesnt seem to be able to send that data.
If the stock player fulfills all your needs, except for the lockscreen, why not try installing widgetlocker as your lockscreen and using a music widget of your choice?
