Do you guys have problems with these pesky mobile music subscriptions?
Tried Spotify, MOG, Rhapsody..
All of them seem not to work very well on a mobile device.
They play an album then quit.
MOG was the only one that was interested in fixing anything after e-mailing them.
The others didn't seem much interested in why their service was stalling out after one selection.
Just wondering if anyone else was having the same thing going on there?

Don't know...I've used Rhapsody for years, and to me, it works great with this device. If you're going to be out of wifi range for streaming you can download a playlist or an album for offline play. I have a Rhapsody to go subscription, maybe that's different.
Always a big fan of Rhapsody for the PC.
I tried Rhapsody to go and it it just was a boondoggle for me.
I never had any bugs with Napster mobile, when it switched to Rhapsody things went south.
I'll quit MOG and go back to Rhapsody...maybe it's working better lately.
If I remember correctly with MOG you don't get the 320kbps with the mobile app anyway.
Rhapsody works well for me. I`ve found that disabling high quality streaming stopped the songs from cutting out midstream. Especially while driving and listening to it thru my car stereo.

1stly id like to say android is such a brilliant step up from my old Nokia 5800/N95 but there are a few things I'm missing!
Being able to Bluetooth sync my music whenever in range of my pc was a godsend. It was just nice to have my phone show up in windows media player without any wires.
Can anyone point me in the right direction? I've tried web sharing lite which is brilliant but not as integrated as I'd like
Also, I recently bought the Sony Ericcson MW600 stereo bluetooth headset, its been brilliant for playing music on but ive only recieved one call while in use and the volume seemed to be none existant any clues as to whats going on there? It was such a pain to have to turn BT off and re-take the call on the phone.

i use TuneSync for wifi syncing with iTunes.
Works fine
Double twist was just released might want to check that out.
Yep I tried doubletwist the app seemed good but the desktop client is appalling, shame that but it also doesn't sync wirelessly

I bought this last night (well, eventually, seems the Market's still being a bit screwy - it was hanging on Authorising Purchase...) and it's pretty excellent. Small free app install on Windows/OSX iTunes side, install app on handset, tell it which PC and which playlist to sync and, well, leave it alone. Works great, I'm impressed.
But im assuming I would have to use Itunes to gain any use?
great ;(
why not use one of those wifi file transfer programs?
i used afile and discovery to move photos and songs back and forth. doesn't 'sync', but still allows wireless transfer of songs.
I use TuneSync, the first sync is a little iffy (i had 10gbs of music to sync) but once you get passed that it works OK enough for me.

I didnt like it, but it works! High price, I would say just torrent it!
I am curious to know if anyone has tried Dodiom and what their experience was like. Dodiom allows you to stream your music library from your computer to your phone. I found others, but they require you to login on your mobile browser to stream the music. Dodium uses an app. I have only begun to use it. Im waiting for my library to finish scanning. They offer a free version which i am using and a .99$ a month version (10 for whole year). You get more stuff with a paid membership, but i want to try it out first. I have been looking for a way to do this for a while and so i am hoping it works well.
Perhaps someone knows of better software/method of doing this?
EDIT: Okay. So it works rather well so far. I mentioned i had the free version. With this, you can only stream a max of 5 songs. Paid account gets you unlimited! The 5 songs that the program seemingly just chooses at random stream fine. I am actually liking this and may just get a membership after all. You can browse your music by genre, artist, album, or song which is nice too
In the stock and even custom Sense ROM's, there is a Connected Media option that picks up the media servers I have setup on my PC's (Tversity) to stream to my DirecTV receivers automatically; my phone picks up my servers and can play my videos/movies with no problem.
On the CM7 mod, I have no such option and have been looking for one; I've tried a couple apps, one called UpnPlay (I think) and it would see the servers and folders but would play nothing. The other couple I tried had the same result. Am I doing something wrong?
I realize this may seem like a petty thing to complain about, but it's something I really like on the Sense ROM, but I like everything else about running CM7... is there a happy medium?
Thanks,

This obviously is a very particular issue. It sounds like you have looked into this as much as you could. Unless you find someone who uses this same feature that could provide some more insight, you may have to consider going back to a sense based rom if this is a deal breaker for you.

Download skifta from the market. Works great.

Yeah, this is definitely a dealbreaker, as my connected media is something I use pretty often. I recall trying Skifta, and it had the same result - my servers populate, but no videos play; they list fine, but when you tap on them, nothing happens. Ugh!

Huh, they played for me, except the mkv's, I haven't tested them. Most of my vids are from TOTALLY LEGIT SOURCES and are divx encoded AVI's.
I got my Google Music invite today. I uploaded around 14 GB of music. This was around 2500 songs. It looks like Google limits the number of songs, not the storage. You can upload 20,000 songs.
Thoughts:
The "app" on my PC is kind of cool. Just go to music.google.com from your browser and start listening.
The Google Music app for Android on the T-bolt works well. I created a quick playlist on my PC and it was available on the T-bolt instantly. The app is fast and stable.
When playing music with the Android phone app, it will actually download and cache about 5 songs.
My biggest thought is that Google must be a little vexed about Verizon's new policy about charging for data. This will discourage users to store their music data in the cloud if Verizon is going to start the meter running every time you want to listen to music. Google's whole philosophy is to use the network, not local storage.
ever since last update... i keep getting FC on (process com.google.android.music)
suckkk
I have been using GMusic for a bit now. I use it in a different fashion than most people.
I only upload the songs I will use in a current play list. Total is around 20-30 sonds at a time. I delete songs I no longer listen to since the orig copy is on my computer.
I find this make the service very usable for the gym, car, etc. Dealing with thousands of songs would drive me nutz.
I have about 13.7k songs for my google music and its pretty awesome. The app does have some issues such as not going to the next song in the playlist but its all minor compared to what it is capable of.
I agree with the crashes though. I havent been able to get it to work on 3g/4g with bamf 2.1 remix or gingertheory 4.3
Trying now with bamf 2.1 nte.
Theres a thread here regarding the crashes: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1134027
Bummer about the crashes. I am running CM7 and I have not had any yet. Hopefully it stays that way.
The only thing I dont like about the cloud is,read the fine print,everything you upload becomes theirs even if you delete it they keep a copy of it.why?
Posted from my Nokia V560
been using it for a couple weeks my self love it so far cant wait to see where google takes it in the future. Also who care if they keep a song i upload even after deletion it is just music.
Well lets see,copyright laws and its not only for music it pertains to anything on any cloud,me I prefer to keep my stuff local,doesnt bother me one bit,that way its only me that has access.

Dont know about you but i could care less if google kept mp3 files i uploaded and did something with them. they would be the one breaking copyright laws so thats their problem. I personally dont upload anything other than music to cloud services like "google Music " like this thread is talking about not cloud storage or dropbox. but to each their own.
I have google music but am switching to amazon cloud.
Reason being my wife and I have separate gmail accounts and so it requires 2 google music accounts. Amazon lets whoever has your email and password access your music.
I'm pretty happy with it. Would love to Bluetooth control in the future. When using BT headsets,the stock music app only works.
I went from a HD7 to Radar, thinking I don't need space if I can stream music. But I haven't been successful.
Spotify - Sporadically works. Not enough to make it worth $10 a month. Support says they don't support the Radar. They know there are issues.
Rdio - Can't get it to stream often enough, or it's too slow.
Rhapsody - Can't play music. Streams radio stations fine.
Zune Pass - Streams almost 100% of the time, but no easy way to manage/create playlists. This makes it cumbersome to just enjoy music while driving/working out.
Obviously this could be due to data coverage, but I'm in the DFW area, usually with full bars of 4G.
Any other apps you guys use? Any that stream from a home connection like Google Music allows? Mango support is a must.
I have a zune pass , as well as a premium slacker account , which is surprisingly robust. I have also used the google music beta here for wp7. I have not tried Spotify. I stay away from monthly charges when I can , so I did the 1 year Zune pass for $100 . Seems to be the best value . I like getting new releases instantly . But I also never really mess with playlists. The smart DJ feature seems to work really well for a Pandora-esque substitute if you're looking to stay in a genre .
There are a lot of options out there . But Zune pass seems to be the most convenient for me
