Amazon MP3 player with Cloud Player - UK access?

Seems like you can upload your music to Amazon's new digital locker service from the UK (well it works for me), and I have no problem streaming to my desktop Mac, Windows, Linux PC's - but the Android app seems to be locali[sz]ed, so prevents streaming via my Tab. Anyone figured a workaround yet? Is it IP based restrictions or maybe there's a US version of the Amazon MP3 player app in the Market?
[edit]
hmm, or maybe it's based on your Amazon account location? Maybe I'll try setting up a dummy US account to test...

Sorry, not sure why it doesn't work for you. Changing the locale to US was enough for the app to work. Sign into Amazon via the app and my cloud based storage was there.

How have you managed to upload your music to your cloud drive?
When I go to amazon.com/cloudplayer it recognises that I'm not in the US, and using a proxy results in a blank page with just an upload to cloud drive button -.-

[Mirror][app] TinyShark 3.1.5 (Groveshark client)

Update: I hadn't realized the original developer still has this on their website. I searched Google before but didn't find any place to download, that's why I posted the mirror. But later on I stumbled upon it. The developer's site is http://exigocs.com you can also download TinyShark Downloader from there.
It's no longer available on Play Store, but I downloaded it shortly after I got Android. I then discovered soon after it was removed from Play Store, so it has since lived on my sdcard with TitaniumBackup, since I did a lot of ROM flashing.
Despite not being updated for over a year, it works great on Jelly Bean , and is still is one of the best Grooveshark apps for android I've ever tried, with playlists, offline cache option, and more.
With offline cache, you can effectively use this as a mobile Grooveshark downloader. It dumps the songs into sdcard/tinyshark_songs/ where they have id3 tags, but are just named a bunch of numbers. You could cache them 1 at a time, then go there and rename the file to whatever you want, or you could just copy to your PC and use software to use id3 to name the files.
Here is the original description:
Listen to Grooveshark on your Android device for FREE.
- Search the Grooveshark database
- Import Grooveshark playlists
- Play individual songs or an entire playlist
- Cache songs for offline playback
Does NOT require Adobe Flash to play music (Settings -> Use Flash Player). TinyShark now does not need Flash for music playback, but it is still an option for those that find it works better.
Starting with version 3.0 a lot has changed under the hood. A lot of fixes are being made so check for updates often. If you are having problems try reinstalling and create a new shortcut in your launcher. If you are still having issues please email details and send any crash reports you can.
Thanks to everyone that's been emailing!
To download songs try Tinyshark Downloader also available in the market.
Taken from:
http://www.bestappsmarket.com/p/app?appId=8894&title=tinyshark
It really works much better with "Use Flash Player" unchecked. [You have to do that to enable Offline Cache]
The app id is com.exigo.tiny

thanks for sharing! I recently used the groove mobile but it wasn't good at all.

Downloads as a zip but the post suggests an APK. Shall i just flash it?
Edit: my bad downloaded via phone but showed as zip. Working fine via PC.
Thanks for sharing!

Not connecting
I am experiencing some problems during the last month with this amazing app. It doesn't connect, when i try to connect i can see the 'connecting...' with the yellow light, but in a few seconds becomes again 'Disconnected' with the red light. Is it just me or this app is not working now?

I am having the same issue as well.

Try using tinytunes app from play store.
It's from the same developer but not related to grooveshark
It's pretty good.
As I am a new user I am not able to paste the link.

If you guys are having issues with 3.1.5 you need to first uninstall 3.1.5 and then update to 3.1.7 found on their website http://exigocs.com/. If you still have problems download and install tiny shark downloader.

I would consider this app *warez* for the fact it is used to steal music off a site that is know for being borderline legal anyways. There is a reason Google removed it from Play.
Just sayin.

Sadly, by buying music you're supporting the music industry (RIAA). By going to concerts you're supporting the artists.

Not the artists I listen to. I buy direct from them or their independent label.
If your music is controlled by the RIAA then you need to stop listening to USA Top 40 and go out and find real music.
Either way is better then supporting this app.
But back to why I brought this up, if XDA allows this app then why not all the other MP3 downloaders in the play Store?
Mod maybe answer?

How to setup squid Proxy for tinyshark for streaming?
Somehow my T-Mobile connection seems to be blocking the tinyshark connection. Whenever I use the T-Mo data connection, my tinyshark would immediately show disconnected.
I managed to setup a squid server so that it now shows "connected" ( squid log says TCP_HIT/200 1495 GET http://grooveshark.com/crossdomain.xml - NONE/- text/xml )
But the songs are not streaming...
Anyone has experience setting up squid for tinyshark that could share some insight?
Thanks!

Google play music

Hey all,
I am trying to sync music that I downloaded on my nexus 7 to my s3 via Google play music. I know it sounds like an an easy thing to do but I can't figure it out. The music was not downloaded from Google music though and I think that might be part of the issue. Any thoughts?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium

It needs to be put into the Google music cloud through the computer. Once your music is in the cloud you can get it on any device with your account on it.

How long have you waited? Often when I install Play Music it seems like nothing is there then I go back and an hour later all my music has thumbnails.

So basically if I have music on one device it has to go onto the PC then into the cloud? There isn't a way to just upload it from any device?

I think Google is trying to help prevent piracy by adding another layer here. But they require you to use a PC. I would strip metadata from the songs ie:downloaded from.... You never know what they will be monitoring. Many cloud services get a bit nosy with your files. Not saying Google has, but you do agree to only upload music you have legally purchased. Also you may have problems with legally owned music due to DRM, I highly recommend Wondershare media converter to strip DRM, and media monkey to manage libraries.

I can't even find my music on my phone when I connect my phone usb and try to upload music. When I did find a folder with a cpl albums it would't upload em, as if they didn't exist wtf???? I go to an album click to select it and it says folder empty. I googled around and finally found this post which hit on my problem. I also see where you gave advice to strip the data from music or something if you didn't legally buy it
(110% of my music is dl from internet for free) and I'm thinking that may be my problem. If so can someone give a detailed explanation as to how I can fix this prob? Thanx in advance man!

How to Download Google access music and thoughts!

So you may have Google access music as many of us do. Wouldn't it be great to be able to download Google access music in 320 KBS straight to your computer and not have any complications... If only if only...
But wait! Its possible!
All you need it Google access and you're good to go. Simply go onto your computer, and go to a website called songspout.com
There you will download the application and run it. Stream a Google access track and look at the bottom of the screen. It may take about 10 seconds or so but you may see a little Download looking button where you can download the track you are currently steaming. After that, go to your music and there it is! And if you don't believe its in 320 KBS then just right click on it, properties, details and there ya go. This is wonderful.
Unfortunately, you can only download 5 songs at a time before you're prompted to buy it for 9.99. What are peoples thoughts on this?? Please try it first before giving your thoughts.

Why?
Forgive me if I sound stupid, but since Google Play offers the ability to download any of the songs that you previously uploaded to Google Play, as well as any song you purchased from Google Play, isn't this unnecessary?

Well actually, the google music app only stores a cache of a song. This allows you to do as you well with it such as put it on iTunes for use with an iPhone or iPod or the sort. Or, you can reupload it to google play. What I do is upload it to iTunes and then use winamp to sync it to my device's external SD card where I can play my music in whatever music app of my choice and not just the Google music app. Basically, for those who don't see a benefit to this, you are paying a monthly service plus a one time 9.99 fee for unlimited legal music downloads.

Your missing the point, this software allows you to permanently download (at 320kbps) unlimited music from google's enormous 20mil+ song library. Songs that you don't currently have in your library (purchased or otherwise), but only if you have a current all access subscription. This software is a no-brainer as you get unlimited high quality music.

Song Spout Support is GONE
I just purchased Song Spout yesterday. It worked for 24 hours and then asked me to purchase again. I have tried to contact the developer at his support email and his billing email and have received a bounce back on each address. I have also tried to contact his billing web page but it just times out. I think song spout is dead. I wouldn't recommend anyone spending the money unless you can contact the developer first. Looks to me like he closed shop. I hope we get some feedback from the developer or get an alternative solution.

yes, today it isn't working, that's correct. Also the Website is somehow not working properly (php).
I have also contacted them earlier this morning, no reply yet. But to me the email did not bounce!
I contacted them twice earlier already, because of an issue that some songs are not being downloaded, but never got a reply. So the support is NOT existant.
Anyway, maybe it's just a temporary issue, and they have just to restart their webserver and database, and it will work again then. Let's hope so.
I am wondering how that application works, it seems that the Google Play Music stream is done using flash, and somehow that Soungspout managed to save it removing the DRM.

Song Spout Up and Running
Song Spout is back up and running. I received an email from support that there were server issues. I have tested it this morning and all is well. This is great software and I am really glad it is back online.

I use the software regularly and works great. I am in the US. I know sometimes there are country restrictions so anyone outside of the US that are looking for specific tracks only available here, let me know.

Songspout support
I bought Song spout in Oct 2013. It worked great until about 2-3 weeks ago. Now I can't download most songs.
Emailed support, but my emails are returning error messages - the developer may be MIA.
It wasn't a ton of money, but I'm still disappointed that we can't get basic support after such a recent purchase.
Anybody know how to reach the developer?
-A

Works great!
Bought today, works perfectly. Although you have to keep an eye on it as it can get stuck on some songs.

Not "perfectly"

Well, it's not working "perfectly" if it gets stuck on some songs.
But I agree it still works pretty well most of the time.
The getting stuck part, though, is an issue I would have liked some feedback on from the developer.
Meanwhile, I've been using MusicMate on my android. It is a major update to the old Cloud Music Importer, and works very well. Doesn't get stuck. Also costs less than Song Spout. I import those files straight into Audipo so I can slow down and loop portions for guitar practice.
Still, wondering the Song Spout developer is still around and supporting the product. I feel that as long as he's taking the money, he ought to reply to support emails.

Yeah I couldn't get any reply from the developer, I only found I had this sticking problem when I was trying to download non all access files.
Just limiting it to songs added from all access it worked great. Didn't know about Music Mate that works great aswell.

The latest update in Song Spout fixed all the issues that I was having even got a reply e-mail today.
Does Music Mate allow you to download songs from the all access catalog like Song Spout? Or does it just grab the songs that are in your library? I would check it out but my acer is acting foolish atm.

How to remove music application?

Hi,
The app is taking over spotify when I try to listen to music with Bluetooth in my car. I asked assistance in spotify forum but they could not help.
The app is built in as people know and there is not even disabling option. How can I get rid off it?
Thanks in advance

Thank you for the respond. Yes i tried, but there isnt any other available option. Writing with my honor 6 so excuse some typos. Also my main language is not english.
Let me explain this better:
I use spotify with bluetooth to listen to music through my car stereo, which is pioneer mvh 360bt. Everything worked; i could see the song details etc in the stereo display screen and next or previous buttons worked with stereo buttons. Making it very easy to change a song while driving. Suddenly i could no longer see song details and buttons to change songs stopped working also. No idea what may cause it. I did not change or install anything suspicious, except updates on apps obviously. What i discovered is the built in music app, which started to show song details in stereo screen and took over spotify. Basicly the whole controlling is in the music app now. I tried to figure out how can i get spotify back as it used to be, no luck yet. I deleted all songs related to music app and so on. Now i can play songs through spotify, but i cant change songs with stereo buttons and the screen show no title or no name. I think the stereo and bluetooth still connects to music app while leaving spotify outside.
What i tried to do:
Reseted phone to factory settings
Tried two different apps: bluetooth connect and play app, autoaudio bluetooth help. These programs did not change anything.
Messed with phone and stereo settings..
I think i will also reset the stereo settings just to make sure.. But my girlfriends Sony xperia m2 aqua functions as it should, so the problem must be in my phone, not in stereo.
TLDR: How can i get rid off built in music app and make my spotify to function again with my "honor 6 - bluetooth - pioneer mvh 360bt" so i can change songs with stereo buttons and see the song in stereo display screen?
Spotify said that they cant help me with the issue so i hope i could get some help here.
Feel free to ask more questions and details. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Yes. I tried to install Spotify again, many times. I also tried to install previous versions of spotify with no luck. Though might be a problem that I didn't possibly delete "old files" causing the issue still be there.
The music software, I have absolutely no idea what is it and how can I find previous updates. The software is called "Musiikki", which is "Music" in englishand the version number is v7.0.21.
Btw, I found more threads about similar issue with other Honor 6 users, but also some other phone models having them. Seems like they appeared after installing newest or second newest version of Spotify, but it's weird that I can't even fix the issue anymore by reinstalling older version of Spotify.
What really makes me think is this place where I can change default music application. I can only see there this music software and google play music, but Spotify will not be there, not even with older version.
Tomorrow I am going to reset my phone still one more time and install Spotify version where everything worked. Meanwhile I will also reset my car stereo. If I can't get this to work, I am out of ideas..
Thanks in advance.
