Hi guys,
I tried to find out if something was already posted... but nothing came.
So I am looking for a good podcast reader which would enable me to download and manage my audio Podcast directly on my HTC HD2.
For the moment I am using YomoMedia, but it only alow to download/keep the last 20 Feed and sometimes I need to be able to have more. Plus it is not possible to listen to them directly in the application and because of that it is not possible to listen to them, one after the other without doing anything.
Thanks for your suggesiton.

I second that.
Since I've bought my Kaiser i've been looking for a good podcast app.
For me, it should have:
Podcast Playlist - I want do press "play" and it would play my new podcasts one after another, without stopping and without the need to go in the phone to play the next (a must to listen to podcasts while runnig, for example).
Automatic download - I should be able to scheduled download, for exemplo, every day at 08:00. It would also be nice if it has a funcion like "refresh whenever there is an available connection".
Also, I want one that will not only refresh but download the audio itself, so, if I want to listen to it later, I can, even without internet.
All the options I've tried have some or none of this, wich is kind of frustrating...
BeyondPod seems to be very good.
Automatically checks and downloads new podcasts (on program launch or in the background on a schedule).
Can configure to only download over WiFi, or 3G as well.
Can choose media player to play back podcasts (incl itegrated one)
Free

I saw this in OpnMarket, but it misses the "playlist" function.
You can't play podcasts sequencially and without intervention...

That is exactly what I mean, thanks for the better formulation
I found a kind of work around...
You kann manage and download your podcast with YomoMedia. Then you will find them in the Normal HTC Sense Music player (in Library, Artist under the name of the podcast or Radio who produce the podacst, etc...)
Then you can play them one after the other using the Repeat function.
But of course it only work if you have several podcast produce by the same source... or maybe with the Genres (by me they are under Radio), etc...
It is not ideal... but better than nothing !

It is a good idea indeed, but the problem is that, when you listen to you podcasts regularly, most of the times you'll have only one episode of each.
What I'd really like is this.
I have podcasts feeds 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
Today, I have new episodes in 2, 4 and 5.
I want to just push "play" and listen to 2, 4 and 5, marking then automatically as "read".
Tomorrow I have new ones in 1, 2 (different from the day before) and 4. So I want to press play and, again, only listen to the new ones, without having to manually go to podcast 1, then 2, then 4...
I really like now the "SmartRSS Touch GR Edition" - great name eh?
It works online with a direct link to google reader where I have my RSS catalogue.
The Podcast section of this app is great - I can select if I want to download a podcast and then it keeps it in a separate folder. I don't know the limit, however, on how many. Give it a try.
I just wanted to know if there was any talk ever about software that would help me manage my phone and maybe that i could get music from?
Use Android Music to manage your music files and Amazon Music to buy the music.
It just seems weird that Google wouldnt do that especially with this device I saw called the Samsung Galaxy 5. When I found that, it prompted my original question because it is marketed as a music player.
I read somewhere they are working on adding a music store to the Google Music app

Check out media monkey. It allow for syncing to android devices. And only runs one background process (when running).. unlike iTunes which runs four at all times.

Correct - there was a press release that music purchasing through Google Music will "be here soon"
Ok so I cant post link but i did some more reading and type in,
google(dot)music(dot)com
and it takes you to a beta sign up. Theres a video. Its all there. GO THERE!
Does anyone know of any apps out in the market/play store that have the ability to let people add to a playlist that you have playing in your house?
For instance i have a google tv and i would love to have an app that people can open up on their phones and send music they have on their phones to the google tv to add to the playlist, or id even be willing to setup my tablet via hdmi to the google tv if the app isnt google tv compliant. just want to have the ability to have people add songs to a playlist i have playing so they hear what they want,
i know xbmc has a way of doing it but it only scans music on the xbmc host and not what people have on their phones that they want to hear over the speakers.
thanks in advance, and i did try searching for something like this already and was unable to find anything spent the last 3 days searching the web.
guess noone knows of any app that does this? found out grooveshark has collaboration now so that could work but any other app ideas would be great.
I don't know of an all inclusive app that would do this.....but I imagine your solution would involve using a cloud service such as Dropbox. Just make a Dropbox folder that any of your friends can access. Whatever they add to it, will show up on your computer in the dropbox folder. Just have that folder be monitored by your music player.

thats an awesome idea, thanks.
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.

tinyShark 3.1.7
I tried Dood's music and it has a very bad performance (for me),
Searching in google i found the last version of Tinyshark (3.1.7), now it connects, but it doesnt play any song
SOLVED: Settings > Playback Controller > HTML5 instead of FLASH

Tinyshark needs a widget and this has to be useable and offline caching needs some work

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.
Also, buy the music you like. Support your artists

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!

I have been diggin into xda to see what I could do about syncing my nedia into my device using itunes or something like that and found this post:
scottietohottie said:
I like the sound of this.
there are lots of people who slate iTunes, but after having an iPhone and moving to Android. I would suggest that people have not used iTunes fully. My wish list
Program
Links to podcasts (text, mp3 and video)
Option to auto download podcasts as above
Integrated music player
Integrated music ripper
Folder updater for album art, meta data etc
Integrated video player
Integrated video ripper
Plug phone in
Option to auto start a program
Option to auto sync
Option to auto check for update
So far if I want an auto sync comparable to iTunes I need a music client, video client podcast client and for backups, I need to root my phone and do it on my phone.
It is easier to have these clients on my phone but still not as easy.
Cyanogen mod do have an updates button in the settings. This could be given a short cut on the home screen. One click (check), one click accept. Phone auto reboots and updates. I believe this is only set up for release candidates though.
The confirm bit on cwm. in the clock work mod folder add a file called
.noconfirm
if I remember correctly this gets rid of the multiple no, no, no, no etc.

What do you guys think about that? Any developer could explain if is possible and viable? I really like to keep my library in order, with album art, songs named correctly, etc and it could be awesome to just sync a Playlist from iTunes into the phone and keep it synced everytime i plugin the phone.
The steps would be like that:
Open iTunes and set your library up with covers and music info
Create a new playlist with all the music you want into your CyanogenMOD Android Device
Open the CM Sync (name sugestion) and select which (one or more) playlist you want to keep synced into your device
Let it sync and we are done.
CM Sync could have more option too, for example:
Auto updater for official supported phones using the built-in updater script of CyanogenMOD;
Organize launcher icons
Simple video converter to make sure you dont put a video with more pixels than you have on your phone
(Can you guys make more suggestions?)
