Where's the music store?

My sensation is completely stock. For some reason I cannot access the new music store. I checked the Google Market and it appears somehow I may have an older version of the Google Market. Anyone else experiencing this?

"An updated Android Market should be rolling out to your Android devices soon"

I can confirm that the market will automatically update to include the music store. I was on it last night and it updated for me. Before it updated I noticed there was block on the main market screen for Busta Rhymes so I clicked on it. I then started searching for music and the market agreement message popped up. I hit ok and now I have an option on the main market screen for music. Attached is a screenshot. Also, for those that can't seem to get the update, here is a link to the android police website with a link to download the latest market (3.3.11). Just install it like you would install any apk file.

My market updated when I was driving home from work lol. I downloaded two songs without an issue within minutes .

Anyone got the apk?

You know the name of the file and location I can get it?
EDIT: Nvm I got it....

Tmobile has also stated that Tmo customers will have an exclusive section in the market for free tracks. I haven't seen it yet, but have heard from others that have. Since yesterday Tmobile has said they are looking into the problem.

I didn't find this anywhere else on the forum for the latest version so i'll post this modified version of spotify that i has put together to work with landscape! Perfect for your car dock and such. The only thing i've found that doesn't work so far is the Play Now window, you can't get it up without turning the phone back to portrait. Maybe someone here know how to fix it, if so let me know!
Anyways you can download the current version Here (0.6.0.17)

Thank you for this wonderful fix! Any progress on the Now Playing Tab?

Tip from Zisid
A tip is to navigate to "sdcard://Android/data" and find "com.spotify.mobile.android.ui" and rename it to anything. After that you uninstall the market version of Spotify and installning this. After that you navigate to the data folder again and rename the renamed folder back to the initial name. Then all playlists, settings, and songs should still be there. Just like before!

I tried this. Playlists and settings were saved, offline songs had to be re-downloaded.

PS: I posted a link to this in the "Why isn't there a landscape mode?" thread in the official Spotify Help Forum: http://community.spotify.com/t5/Mobile-Android/Why-isn-t-there-landscape-mode/m-p/95245#M5657

Thanks for the app! For some reason, Facebook Connect fails.

It's working here. You might wanna check your account details and permissions.

thanks! works a treat!

Hi, thanks for this appli, work only with fb account? no other solution?

Dude, thanks for this, installed and tested the landscape rotation. Seems to be working perfectly @ all angles. Such a simple thing and the guys over at spotify don't seem to feel it's a necessity. Glad you did and took it upon yourself to fix the problem!
Thanks again, your efforts are greatly appreciated!!
Specs: T-Mobile G2 / Desire-Z / Vision || CM9 Un-Official
Edit/Update: Looks like radio isn't working on this version. I don't have premium and literally only use the mobile app for the radio functionality. Not sure when radio was added but any chance you can re-swizzle this with a version that includes radio? It does work perfectly as far as I can tell, but since I don't have premium I can't say for sure.
@jason2005: I was able to log in just fine with my Spotify creds, no need to login with facebook. But then I was a beta tester when it 1st released here in the states and never chose to link my FB account to it.

Same here, I think that will be a permanent fault due to the device level authentication codes which spotify uses when authenticating with facebook.
Use the instructions here:
https://www.spotify.com/uk/help/faq/account/#connect-devices
to set up a username and password for spotify devices, there are a couple of hoops to jump through but it does work!

No landscape support in this version either from spotify So here is a new modified APK for you to download!

That's AMAZING can't wait to get home lol

Got it mine, you can see a lot more apps now, still very few useful ones but lots of games. I even spotted ES File Explorer which I know some people have said they had a issue installing after a recent update.

Tested it a bit yesterday, very very nice improvement IMO. I could be wrong but I think it's still missing a few compatible apps..
It's getting somewhere at least, we might see more over the next couple of days

can this be installed on cm12.1 with gapps-lpmr1-x86-leanback-20150524-signed.zip or is it only for factory os?

I posted a comment about this in the official CM 12.1 thread. You can install the APK without doing anything special on CM 12.1 from within the OS. There is no need to boot into recovery to flash this.

I installed the apk and now the Play Store won't load anything. Just spinning. Anyone else have this issue? On a side note anyone know how to rollback to the previous version?

Goto your app settings and clear the cache and data. See if that helps

I'm having the same problem, but I didn't side-load. I just got the player today and in the apps it shows this version, but the store won't load. I factory reset it about a half hour before this post
edit: factory reset and letting it sit fixed it. Must have been queued to update the app and was just waiting until it was installed. Took like an hour of sitting overall.

Finally....
This update was long overdue. Google should have done this when the Nexus Player was released.

Which ROM fixes the most issues with 12.1?

I recently updated both my OPO's from 12s to stock 12.1-YOG4PAS3JL and there seems to be more bugs than fixes. Which ROM has addressed the following issues...
#1 In-call mic quality: This is the worst. My phone is nearly useless for a phone call unless i use speakerphone/headset.
#2 GPS/Compass calibration: I've tried calibrating apps on both phones but they still aren't as accurate as they used to be.
#2 Truedialer removed: I've tried all the techniques to remove/replace it and none of them work or cause rebooting.
#3 Headset volume: quite low, sounds like it's at 30% when at 100% on the slider
#4 Random reboots: Just yesterday i used "OK Google" to set a 3hr timer and as soon as the timer started it rebooted the phone. Another instance when it randomly rebooting while locked in my pocket. It seems to randomly reboot about 2-3x/week
#5 Bluetooth: I stream Pandora/Spotify/AIMP/etc over bluetooth in my vehicle. Pandora via the radios "Pandora" function (not sure what this is called, phone shows "Pandora - Accessory" when streaming) works flawlessly. But if simply using bluetooth connectivity it will show song info for the very first song and never update again. When i was on XNPH44S track info would fail to update maybe 1 out of 6 times.
I did completely clean installs on both phones. I'm tired of updating and getting everything reinstalled and back in order like i like. I just want something that works.

I've tried nearly all the ROMs including Resurrection Remix, and I find CM13.0 by sultanxda the smoothest and the most stable one.

Awesome! I use a few of those myself. I really need Boxer (Nine) Exchange Policy Cleaner to be compatible. Can't live without it

I'm just going to give CM13 by sultanxda a shot. Backing up now...

Just seen that AdAway isn't working due to a bug. Ugh! I think i'll wait on CM13 until thats fixed.

Question ViPER4Android or Dolby Atmos working?

Just got myself one of these lovely devices and so far I'm enjoying it!
One thing I'd like to "fix" though - I'd like to get either ViPER or Dolby working on this as it's the sound I'm used to from the Samsung side of things.
Has anyone managed it?
Thanks!

Thanks - that's very useful to know!
I did try this and whilst it does appear to work (no errors, no warnings, JamesDSP manager starts, etc) I didn't notice any difference in the actual audio output when changing options. Have you? Maybe I'm just going deaf!

It's a common issue with Audio mods and unpatched kernel/system, a simple fix is just to force stop and restart the Jdsp manager, make sure nothing is playing while you're doing this

Confirmed that latest Viper4Android works for me. On global WW .188 rom rooted.
Edit: After testing for sometime the inbuilt audiowizard sound effect equalizer will not work eventhough you can move the sliders and eq.
Noticed a wierd bug if you force close v4a then you will lose control of the app and you would not be able to enable or disable effects. So you will be having the last set audio effect of v4a. For that you need to do a Fast reboot or a full Reboot then a short enable and disable legacy and compatibility mode to get it working back.
