[Q] What's the best music streaming service for Android?

Hey guys,
So I discovered the music streaming service called "deezer".
It's pretty cool, has a good interface online and as an app and has offline support.
Well so far so good. It costs 10€ per month, which is okay to have me.
Sooo my question is if there is something better out there with a bigger library and better android support
Hope you can give me some advice and recommendations.
Thanks in advance.

Spotify for me. Totally worth the $10/month.

Pandora or Google Music. Both free and awesome. Offers anything you might need

I didn't know that with google goggle you can scan a buisness card and automatically save it to your contacts with all the appropriate field filled correctly...i have always thought google goggle is more for online search of image or document..
Thanks anyway..will research futher

Camcard is a bit pricey though...still considering between camcard and scanbizcard..but i saw scanbizcard in action on friend's galaxy s2...2 out of 5 times there is always some error in the filelds that it captures..got to manually edit the entry for the contacts.
Thanks..

Camcard is pricey but it works well. I actually tried out quite a few before settling on it. The error rate is very low and it recognized most fields accurately. However, suggest you try a few apps before deciding your self.
I scan about 50 cards a month using it.

I was also interested in this topic.
But google goggles didn't cross my mind.
Just did an test with a couple of cards. And it works well. And completely free.
Thanks for the tip.

What would you buy with $25 Google credit?

Hey guys,
Just wanted to drop by this forum and have a little discussion.
I won a $25 Google Play credit through a Samsung contest, and I was extremely excited to reveive it yesterday.
I immediately went onto the app store and searched for some good games and apps to purchase.
I've been searching for a full day now and honestly haven't made a single purchase. :crying:
I already own great games like Dead Trigger, Shadowgun, FPSe, Final Fantasy III, Dead Space, MC3, DH2.. and apps like Superuser Elite, SetCPU, and Alarm Clock by doubletwist.
I can't seem to find ANYTHING on the Play Store that is striking my interest, but I know that there are some really useful paid apps out there.
So I propose this question. What would YOU buy with $25 in Google Play credit?

I would get a Nexus 7 and get some money off it

Buy power amp...... Titanium backup pro.... It's probably the best paid app on Google Play

I use google music to play my audio because my storage is limited on my One X. Also, I have Backdrop pro which backs up my apps and such to my 30 Gb dropbox.
I have too many games!

I second this!

Rom Toolbox Pro
USB/BT Joystick Center (if you like gaming on Android with a controller)
Audio Evolution
Dink Smallwood (old but great)
4EXT Recovery Control (if you use a 4EXT recovery)

I agree, PowerAmp and Titanium Backup Pro...I'd also get "Wheres My Droid" so that you can find the Nexus 7 you'll buy with what is left

Everybody saying buy a nexus 7, are they really that cheap? You really believe he's going to buy an android tablet with $25 of Google credits?
Sent from my HTC One S using xda app-developers app

250 dollars isn't it? 25 dollars off that and it's even more amazingly cheap every little helps

For me.. I would probably learn some coding and use that $25 to open an account in play store and sell apps
but..
Titanium Backup Pro
Rom toolbox

Do you have to pay to open an account as a developer on the play store?

Haha, I actually have already and I have seven apps on the market. Just some work I did for some bloggers that never paid off.
Seems a lot of people are posting Titanium Backup. Don't have much of a use for it with Backdrop. I like the post about the joystick app. I need to buy me a Six Axis!

$25 is enough for paying fee for Developer Signup in Google Play, u can start selling your apps in the play store to gain more money

Already got the dev account. Have a couple apps up there but nothing that anyone would want to download.
My marketing technique is horrible.

I used free gtunes app, download free music

I'll suggest PowerAmp as a solid music app.
As for your second question, we here at xda do not condone pirating paid apps. I am under the impression that specific app does just that so you won't find anything except a ban.

Here at XDA asking such questions about "sourcing" protected content for free is a no no.
And +1 for PowerAmp, solid performance on the SGSIII.

My apologies guys now I know. Thanks for the input on Gtunes I will give it a shot.

[APP] SmartMote - music remote control

Hi, i just published my sony smartwatch 2 new app. It's called SmartMote and it is for player remote control.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cz.zalsky.android.watchremotecontrol

great!
so pitty you haven't done it yesterday when i bought similar plugin for poweramp.
That universal control is what i was looking for
edit:
bought it. App is working as described. Love it. Now i can listem to my audiobooks with controls on my watch. Thank you

Just bought the app myself, seems to be working very nicely. The album art is a very nice touch. Speaking of touch, you've gotten the targets spot on almost for the size of the display, and removing swipes for volume is good too, as swiping is notioriously fiddly with the SW2.
Well done sir!
Tom.

:good: i'am glad you like it. Please don't forget to rate app on Play Store, also comments are welcomed. It's the best way to say thankyou

just have one idea. Can you make something similiar as in poweramp widget? When app is launched screen doesn't lock to clock mode, but dim and for example put small clock ontop, or even not. When i often switch music it is a little bit annoying for me to unlock watch to click 'next'.
Thank you

Sounded good until I got to the "only works with 4.4". Nice work though...

Works great! Nice app!

Thx
4.4 kitkat is required do to some APIs app needs to exists, sorry for that. i will be much happier if there will be some way to avoid that

Fantastic App! This is the only one that i have found to work with google music perfectly and the ui is great. Well worth the price. Ill be writing a review on the play store for you soon.

Works great with Audible and pocketcasts. 5 stars.

Unbelievable! The best app on my watch! Thank you.
Edit..I have one request. Could you sometime in the future add low power mode to keep the screen on?
