Anybody know of a way to play my zune pass music onto my phone? I love my Zune HD, but it can be an inconvinence to carry it around when my phone can already play music.
Depends on the music. If some songs are protected like DRM files, then no. But if you have songs that you know aren't, just drag and drop the songs you want into your SD card.

I used to have the Zune pass and Zune HD. I gave the Zune HD to my gf, and ripped the DRM from all my Zune pass music using Tunebite (search torrents for it), and uploaded it to Google Music (I'll send you an invite if you want). This was a great solution, but it was time consuming to rip and upload my whole library to Google Music. Then every time I downloaded a new album, I'd have to rip it and upload it to the Google Music servers..gets annoying after a while.
So, I just got Spotify. It's only $10 a month and streams all the music you want to your phone. I have an unlimited data plan, so if you're on a newer plan and listen to a lot of music this might not work for you.
Push comes to shove, just use Tunebite to rip the DRM from your Zune music files and then drag and drop them onto your phone.

Awesome!
And greetings fellow Zune HD users!
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 so the shine is already wearing off the new update that gives Australia the option to purchase music from Google play, I've just bought an album and downloaded it and I wanted to play it in Poweramp but can't find it? Can anyone tell me why
It will be played and stored within Google play music.

But what if I don't want to play it through Google Music app I did just purchase the album I should be able to play it through what ever i like
I believe it is because the files aren't actually downloaded. You stream them from the cloud using the google music player application.

If you read the instructions some where it gives you the option to download as opposed to stream .Either for your uploads or paid for music .

So I contacted google about this, yes there is an option to download through the apo or through your pc using music manager (googles answer to itunes I guess).
If you download directly from within the app on your device you can only play it through google music.
If you download it via your pc I usjng music manager you can side load it and play it though whatever you want ie poweramp.
Quite frankly I dont see why google have to make it so difficult and just allow us to download it directly to our Devices and play it how we want for gods sake
I'm pretty sure I know the answer to this one, but does anyone know of a way to transfer music and playlists from Amazon Unlimited over to the Gear S3? I don't want to sign up for (yet another) music subscription service to get Spotify support. With the Amazon Unlimited subscription, I can download music locally to my phone for offline play, but the files are DRM'd and don't show up as MP3's that could be transferred to the Gear. If you pay extra to individually buy the tracks from Amazon, you can download as MP3 and transfer to the Gear. I'm looking for a way to transfer files and playlists without having to pay extra to buy each song, over and above what I'm paying for the Unlimited subscription.
OK so for context i have a ancient lg l3 running cm 9 i use it as an mp3 player because of its headphone jack.i have spent days trying to get music streaming to work on it. so here are some apps that i have tried
Gaana- search and login does not work (kinda necessary for a music streaming app)
Spotify- so the only working apk i found was from one of those sketchy apk website if i correctly remember it was 1.2.5.3 so the apk was safe but no on demand music playback ( like you cant play a specific song you can only shuffle)and no skips ( and i am not giving a random apk from a rando website access to my premium account)
Amazon music-does not exist
Play music- DEAD
Apple music- i am not paying and probably dosent exist
so please suggest me some working apps or a way to get the above mentioned apps to work
