Just looking for an app that I can use to search YouTube for music, and play its audio only. Theres a lot of music I listen to on YouTube, but don't want to deal with buffering the whole video, keeping the phone awake etc. Found an app called UMusic, but it has been removed from market and can't find an apk anywhere. Anyone know of any alternatives? Thanks

There was an app called "Ghost town" and rather good it was too. But it also shared the same fate, and was removed. It's obviously Google clamping down on certain licensing laws.
I use these now, they run from the Grooveshark Databases, but are free, and are rather good.

*Note- You need to download Flash Player from Market first*
Happy listening.

I have tinyshark, and its really good, just still a fair amount of music I can't find ... completely forgot about ghost town, I had it a long time ago. Thank you for your reply, ill look into it

heh, i was looking for the same a couple of months ago. i tried most (all?) of the apps i found to do this (or something like this), some of them worked with flash and others didn't, but i found none of the apps really reliable, as in they all gave me issues sooner or later... ranging from connection problems, major buffering issues, app crashing, to no music found, etc. etc. none of them worked as well as the default youtube app, if only it would work in the background! So would love to hear if there is a simple and nice alternative that showed up recently!!
Yeah ghost town is dead... shame someone can't modify the YouTube app to do this..

Yea, +1 that my friend!
ghost town is here: http://ghosttownapp.com/
I wasn't able to download it from the ghost town site. I found an apk for it but it will no longer play music

you sir, deserve quite a large cookie.
my ONLY complaint, which i noticed in the comments as well... is the quality. however, it may have been the particular song i chose, or my phone, or whatever. I'll be trying this out in the car tomorrow. Thanks, I def appreciate it!

I can't seem to find an Android Mp3 Player that can play from a specific folder. For example, I had Nitrogen Player for WinMo (by microfi) that I was using on my X2. It was a terrific player that was skinnable and had some pretty slick options. Most of all the EQ was fully tweakable, I loved it!
Anyways, in my search for a player I see many people are looking for this kind of thing as well. The reason this is important to me is, I can separate the music or audio book in different folders and play whatever I am in the mood for knowing it wont pick stuff out of the other folders if I so choose.
Is there an app developer that can come up with one? I am sure I am not the only one who would appreciate it.
Maybe try mortplayer?
Hope it helps!!

Try bTunes But it's not free
I tried mortplayer, it's not bad. You can even control it with the headset
But... it did play tracks randomly from different folders once and I wish it has an equalizer.
ok so I have only used itunes (which the podcasts are a heck of a lot smaller) I also use .podkast which seems to work great, but man the file must be around 200mb or more. example i listen to mark levin and it only takes 6-8 minuets to download a full podcast on itunes but it takes over 30 minutes on .podkast. So i ask you which is the best podcast app out there...thanks
check out Dogcatcher. It is in the Market and is pretty good.
You can stream The Great One from his audio page directly from the website. Radio Time is a very nice app, just needs a little work with the FC's while its idle.

Beyondpod for sure.
Stitcher is cool as well, lets you stream but you can't download for playing them later. So if you have a sketch connection or can't listen to them all the way through its kind of tough.

Looks like I will be downloading beyondpod to try it out lol. I like XIIAlive bit seems to have issues with buffering lol. Also just found a good app...Tunewiki.
Hey, I know this thread's pretty old, but I had to suggest PodKicker. It's pretty solid, and lets you stream or download podcasts with the Rss Feed link. And best of all, IT'S FREE!
My favorite one is PocketCast. It automatically downloads the podcasts I subscribe to, deletes them when I've listened to them, and it has a great UI which is simple to control. The UI is probably the most important feature because I use it when I am driving, and I can't afford to spend time fiddling with controls. It's only $3.00 too.

+1 to this. I use it every day and it's great.
Been using Feed Sponge for quite awhile and have no issues with it. Also use Stitcher.

Agreed. I own both dogcatcher and pocketcasts...
Pocketcasts wins in my book. ;x
I'm liking both PodKicker and Stitcher. Stitcher has a good market and UI, but doesn't allow you to add rss feeds. So I use PodKicker for that. Both are free, so I'm fine with switching between the two.

I've always used .podkast, because I like the ability to DL the mp3s , but whenever I have it installed, my battery drops like a rock. Thanks for other suggestions.

Pocket Casts
I've used Pocket Casts since it was the free app of the day in the Amazon App Store, then purchased it in the google market after the developer had problems with Amazon. It works great, and has a ton of features. The developer keeps it up to date as well.
Anyone think its possible to make an app capable of streaming video files from megaupload or megavideo? A lot of shows and movies I watch on my PC from there and an app to do the same on my phone would be amazing. I have no idea how hard it would be but I'd be willing to test it on my Captivate and help any way possible.. even donate to a finished product..
just get a phone with Froyo
Froyo can stream video from megaupload?

please, let me know your feedback!
Sorry to bring back what may be a dead thread but I was recently also looking for a solution to this exact question. I did find a free app in the market which I have tested for only about a day now but has worked well for my needs thus far. I did a quick search of the forums and didn't see anything on it so just thought I would mention it.
The app is called "Mega Stream" - Market Link
When used with MoboPlayer I have had good success streaming video from Megaupload.
i've found a few...share them people
sendit- using google drive send a file to any phone/os in an sms
tasker- do it all through voice
Also give link with the app names
Thanks

I think that the name and target of the thread is not clear enough.
It mentioned specifically "aren't too popular". So... wtf is 'What's up' doing with that?! And most of the rest.
Please only put apps that you found, use and not seen in the first pages on the forum. Do not make this a list with your apps... please!

This. And I mean seriously, how long until these apps hit market? It's the most available platform. A cool app is a cool app on xda or store
But we already have tons of "what's your favorite app" threads. It would be interesting to discover new sous that aren't already on the okay store. But it's whatever. Do as you please everyone.

Nice j dee! I hate it when my youtube shuts off in the gym. Can't leave the screen on and put it back in my pocket
Come on peeps keep em coming. I like the list so far. It's small and precise not large and burgeoning. Let's go over something very relevant: STREAMING from your HD
Jbeans 4.2 Camera- Full Screen Camera (compared to 4.1.2) and gallery you could flash for your 4.1.2 phone
Mediahouse Player- An organized app that collects all the shared music videos off of shared directories on your computer use in conjunction with. Allows you to favorite directories/devices. Really neat app
mx player- easy ui can easily disable/enable hardware software encoding for audio and video during play
v player- like mxplayer, could be better with UI, but unlike MX player allows you to set buffer to a whopping 8mb...so longer initial load for video but plays back perfectly otherwise
ES file explorer- save network drives
I usually make the default player for ES v player and for media house mx player. Good setup. Mx Player allows you to manage defaults for video players in-app too. Another neat feature. Well worth the money for that app.
From the computer end there are a lot of options to stream (I made a post about this a while back...search on me) but I like PS3 Media server 1.70.1 for my PS3. It allows for real-time transcoding for devices where your video format (ie mkv) isn't available. I also install TVersity server on my computer end and both servers as well as the raw files allow me to wirelessly stream every tv show except for planet earth which has a ridiculous bitrate.
Only other thing to worry about on the computer end is to make sure your sharing settings etc are set up as openly as possible. I have a homegroup password and everyone in it is allowed to at least read my directories
Hey zetsui,
sure, I love my HOX and GNEX phones (by now even more than my PC) and why not participate in sharing cool underdog apps?
Is that Mediahouse player the one you can download from the Play Store? Sounds pretty usable to me

Way better than stock audio recorder. Can record as mp3 at 128kbit/s, good enough for me. Of course, you can increase it. Can record as ogg too.
Solid explorer
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pl.solidexplorer
Might be popular, but worth a mention anyway. Fast, free, full of useful features, no ads... Did I mention the slick ui?
Cpu adjuster
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ryosoftware.cputweaks
Like setcpu, but free. You can have 3 profiles in the free version. Ought to be good enough for beginners.
Also worth checking out: servers ultimate.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.icecoldapps.serversultimate
These apps are in xda too, but play store linking is more convenient.
Advanced Touchpad Remote Control
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.arcoid.advancedtouchpad&hl=en
Turns the phone's screen into a multitouch touchpad.
Perfect for Laptops with short HDMI cables.
So I have a very stupid question / possible coincidence. I've had this come up once or twice already. Since obviously the Google now launcher does the okay Google hot word, is it also possible for it to identify music as well as the hot word automatically? In both previous cases I was listening to music on another device but had my phone on the home screen. When I go into google play music it has recommendations at the top based on said music I was listening to despite me not listening to that music in play music for a few days. Is this just a coincidence? My odd imagination? I just find it really weird.
Thanks.
P.S. I should clarify that by other device I mean the factory no frills radio in my car.

It's probably just using the information from your last visit to the Play store. If you think about apps's that are made for recognising music songs, doing something like this via a Google search bar it would make the app rather large? I'm sure it's a small file size?
I might be wrong, but I'm guessing it's just remembered from the last time you used Play store, it could be coincidence if you listen to popular songs.

Apologies for the delay. Yeah, I guess it is a coincidence. I tried today to trigger it intentionally but didn't get it to happen this time. Just seemed odd though the first time around. Odd in a good way, anyways. I happen to like all the Google smarts and integration rather than fear it, personally. Not enough hours in the day these days to accomplish everything so the more assistance I can get, the better.
Thanks again for the response.
Hi, as yo can see, this will be my first post so......be gentle.
About you question, i think that the suggetions come from the info that you music player gather about the music you listen to, you can see if your music player "sees" what are you listening in senttings>apps> -your music player- >permissions.
I hope that you found this helpful. =D
