Is there a good cloud based music player? I love Poweramp, but now that I cannot have an sd card in my S6, I cannot keep 12 gigs of music on the S6. Is there a way to use Poweramp, and have my music on dropbox? If not, what is the best cloud based music player..????
I've been using Google Play Music since it came out. Love it.

I haven't used it, since I use Google Play music, but I have heard good things about CloudPlayer. It links to your dropbox account and lets you play the music stored there.

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
What are some apps that are good alternatives to doubletwist? I notice two problems with doubletwist
1. it is always using the external sd card (where my music is) and makes mounting (ie as an external ums/hd) difficult
2. it has trouble differentiating between internal and external sd cards on the galaxy s3 a lot of the time.
I like its interface and the ease with which it syncs. If I could Keep the windows client and switch the android client that would be ideal
I recommend poweramp. Its a fantastic media player. Now it available 50% off discounted price in play store.
Google Music ?
Maybe u can send an EMail Tod the doubletwist SUPPORT

Google Play music is good. Realplayer is good too.
For doubletwist features:
Album art downloading
Use MIUI music
For itunes sync
Drag and drop into memory card from itunes
itunemywalkman is also pretty good but i would suggest google music
Ramesh you dont get playlists like that
Dont like powrt amps layout
Will email doubletwist and checkout google music. Does your music have to be stored on drive or sd card?

For syncing with iTunes, iSync is the best by far. Doubletwist is nothing special as a player. Why don't you just use the stock app?
So I have been using the exercise app with my Gear 2 and I love it, my only complaint however is that I utilize Google Play Music for my song storage... I'd rather not lug my bulky Note 3 with me on a run so is there any way to transfer a playlist from Google Play Music from my Note 3 to my Gear prior to a run??? Thanks!
You may easily transfer your Google Play Music playlists using Musconv tool
I always use MusConv, you can try it. It's easy to use.
Hi Guys,
I'm from Brazil and I just bought a Nexus 5 to migrate from an old iPhone 3GS and I'm trying to sync all my iTunes Playlists to the new device, I saw that the Google Music Manager is the simplest way to do this but I can't access the Google Music page from my country. I tried to use a VPN service to enable it but needs a credit card to do the finish the process. Can any good soul download the executable and upload for me? Yes, I google it a lot and couldn't find...
Thanks a lot!
Google Music Manager is great for getting all of your music uploaded to Google Music, but if that's not available in your country it won't be much help to you. EDIT: By this I mean that even if you get the Music Manager to install and let you upload your music, you won't be able to get it back down to your phone.
I would use DoubleTwist

So, are you saying that even if I downloaded the executable program to my PC, I was unable to sync my iTunes songs?

That's that I want, only sync the songs to the phone, I'm not intended to use Google Music, I use another app to listen my musics.

Right, that's not what the Google Music Manager is for. The Google Music Manager uploads songs to the Play Music service. You can then use the Play Music app on your phone to play back the songs. You can download the songs through the app as well, but they are saved in such a way that only the Play Music applications can play them (technically other players can play them, but the metadata is not saved so you can't actually view the song names or any artist/album info).
Just forget about the Music Manager, it's not what you want. Download DoubleTwist on your phone and computer and it will let you sync your iTunes library directly.
Thanks for the answer, I'm already using it.
I haven't figured out how to change my username since I decided I like iPhone better than Android.
I want to copy my personal music collection onto my iPhone but when I tried to at the library by connecting the mp3 player and the iPhone to separate USB cables to the Windows computer, it wouldn't let me and later I found out from Apple that there is a restriction where you have to use iTunes. Because I don't have my own computer at home I was wondering if there are any alternatives, and someone at the Apple Store suggested that syncing the mp3s with iTunes may still not allow the playback of the mp3s if they weren't specifically purchased through Apple Music.
So what would be a good alternative way to transfer my music collection onto the iPhone? I tested a web-site in Google Chrome that is a YouTube to mp3 converter called "mp3 juices" that allows you to download audio from YouTube into mp3 files. It worked on iPhone and I was able to import mp3s into a music player app called the Audius Music Player. Since the Audius Music Player works in this way, I suppose I could copy all 12 GB of my music collection onto Google Drive and than download the songs one by one and than import them into the Audius Music Player app but I think this may be rather tedious to click to download on each individual song until I downloaded 12 GB of music. Also the free version of Audius Music Player says it has limits so I don't know if there would be a limitation on the amount of music that can be downloaded.
Would there be a way to save all the music album folders and files into one large zip file and unzip the music files onto the iPhone?
Another suggestion mentioned to me by someone is the VLC media player, but VLC on iPhone requires iTunes to sync the music into VLC media player and so I may want to get away from having to deal with iTunes.
Lol, I thought everything was easy on iPhones...
Try this.
Meh, I've used iPhones for work and I'll take my N10+'s over them any day.
DRM sucks... you are now part of the machine.

You have to use iTunes. Don't have a computer? Get one. IPhones don't behave like android, it's either iTunes or you don't. They are more locked down.
