Are there any music search and download apps?

Sorry guys, been searching and browsing but cannot find the answer to my question. I am coming back to WinMo after a couple years on Android and on Android there were market apps called iMusic, Music Tao, Music Online, etc. which would allow you to search for songs and stream them or download locally as MP3. Are there any similar apps that have both of these options?

There are programs that read torrentfiles, since providing illegal content is...well, illegal, I won't provide the name here, but I guarantee you that a simple google will do the trick
Also, if you're searching for 1 song, instead of an entire CD: prostopleer.com
Don't mind the Russian language, just fill in the title of the song in the searchbar, hit enter and press download.
--> If this is considered not allowed on this site, please just delete this post, or notify me and I will do so

Thanks for the response. I am open to free, or paid (alternatives to Amazon MP3 app), so I don't see why it would be a problem to share info on the apps that are out there.

Nanogroove in fact downloads the last heard song. You can find it in the root of the SDCard --> groovy.mp3. Just rename it and store it somewhere else. And voila you got the song you just streamed in quiet good quality (128/192kbps).

nanoGroove is amazing...my g0d..is all i can say

I like this russian site prostopleer dot com
seems to work on my hd2 but yes it's only in russian but it's easy to figure out. just type the name and search...

you can use SciLor's GrooveMobile v7 to stream music (not download)
found it here:
h**p://hd2apps.blogspot.com/2010/04/htc-hd2-apps-scilors-groovemobile-alpha.html

how do you use nano? i can't get anything to play or download on my hd2. do you have to go somewhere else to listen to the music it downloads ?

You always need the newest Version IMEDIATELY when it is released (at the moment 1.06) otherwise you wont be able to access grooveshark. Maybe you got an old one running....

I have both nanogroove and scilors groove mobile and scilors gm downloader.
Nanogroove is not a downloader but each song that is streamed is saved on the phone SD card as groovy.mp3. So I simply rename the file and voila, I have the mp3.
Scilor's is much better. Although the interface is bad imo. The streaming app is separate from the downloader. The downloader worked for me. I haven't used it in a while so I don't know if things have changed. search for Scilor's here or google.
Go to HD2 apps blog for the nanogroove. I am too lazy to post the links but if google gives you a bunch of hits just search for hd2apps on facebook.

[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.
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!

[Q] PVStar+ Pro missing from Google Play Store? Anyone know why?

I'm not even sure if this is the right section to ask in, I've never really left my specific device forums before but here goes!
So I just upgraded from a Sammy S3 to a Nexus 6 and I had a paid app called PVStar+ Pro on my S3. It lefts you play Youtube video's while having the screen off unlike that POS Google Youtube app!
So I setup my new Nexus 6 and I just realized it's not here on this phone. So I checked my apps on the market, nope. So I copied my APK off my S3 over and but it doesn't seem to work right. I can't search videos. For example, I've searched Tiesto, Hardwell, the Wonderland Music Festival etc and it comes back with zero results. Plus I don't think it's fully PRO.
I tried checking out the home page of the dev but it's all in Japanese so I shot them an email and so far no reply.
One of my favorite apps! Just wondering if anyone knows WHAT happened to it? Even Google searching brings up nothing.

I have the same problem. My PVstar+ didnt show any search results what so ever, so I thought thay I might need uninstall/install it, but after I uninstalled it I noticed that it was missing from google store. After a while I found the .apk file on another site but the problem with the search results remain.
Too bad, this was my favourite player.

I think it was pulled due to the youtube music go-live, which is basically the same service, only paid..

Wtf?! I hope it will be back... if they pulled it due to the reason mentioned above that is such a crApple-like tactic. I hope it isn't true. And if it is true I hope it will still be available somewhere else. Does the developer have his own page?

It was pulled for just that reason and no it won't be back. Google may have gone as far as removing it from devices.

Howw exactly can google remove it from devices? I saw other youtube background players are still there... anyway good job of it's true... no one will buy their service and probably use itunes instead. Really smart.

Its not that hard, They even did it awhile ago when an app was found to have a virus built in.

This was awhile ago but just a proof of it does happen. I am not saying they will just that they could.
No chance on the Itunes bit. Most wont even come close to wanting that POS software on their system.

So... does anyone have the apk for pvstar? It would be nice to attach it to this thread..

And since I like my own ideas...

Is it just on my device or the PVSTAR+ youtube search doesn't come up with any search results anymore? (when searching for a youtube video inside the app I mean)

Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. Try using the "Video search" button in the main screen. Be warned that Google can break search on Youtube remotely on any app – they routinely do it for old Youtube .apk's so you can't use them anymore.

I believe nothing new happenned in this case? I loved PVSTAR, so maybe there's some info from devs? Any homepage I can visit?
Thanks, and sorry for digging that up

I like PVStar+ cause its the only Youtube streamer I could find that 1) doesn't require me to log in to Youtube and 2) will keep playing in the background even when you X out and go to the desktop. The only problem is once you go to the desktop you can't go BACK to the app without making the video you're streaming start over from the beginning.
But yeah I haven't been able to find another Youtube streamer like this, so I'm sticking with this for now. Already saved the APK if I switch device (rooted with Titanium Backup).

Hi, I have noticed that pvstar+ is in the Amazon appstore and it is updated to 2.6.2 version, while my installed version is 2.5.11, probably the last that was available on the play store.
How can I install the new version from Amazon without lose all the cached music?

Fun on the appstore
Hi, I came to have the same problem as you guys, not finding the pvstar app anywhere on the playstore. But looking at other similar apps, the recent updates had the users mad because they couldn't listen to music in the background as well.
This is not one singular occurrence and I'd love to write one angry email, but I don't know where to send one...
This is a low blow.

Pvstar+ pro version, difference from free version?
updated below with answer to own question
The Pvstar+ which is free on Amazon app store in version 2.6.2, how does that differ from the donation "pro" version that was available from play (last version 2.5.9)? Did the regular non-pro version from play display ads? I don't remember it doing so, but I bought the pro very shortly after finding out about the app. The Amazon version does not display ads from what I've seen, and both amazon's 2.6.2 and 2.5.9 pro from play can still do background streaming.
Was pro just a support the developer thing with identical functioning as the free version? Cached copies of their respective play store pages don't seem to be available so no help there.
There was this issue with many videos not being played at all by pvstar+ before, possibly all videos that were only available in. FLV format from Youtube.
Pvstar+ is perhaps only a frontend in app format for the streaming site at http://sp.pvstar.dooga.org since the app needs to connect to pvstar.dooga.com to be able to play anything not in your devices local cache.
The developer does not seem to answer emails. Someone who is fluent in Japanese could give it a try to see if there are any answers to be had from the official source.

[APP] TubeCast - Youtube to Chromecast Audio

Hello everyone,
As you all know youtube app on android and ios does not support Chromecast audio, so I've developed a new android app that let users cast youtube to Chromecast Audio. It finds only audio track, so you do not need to worry about network traffic, as the audio track size is usually much smaller than the video size. My intension is to support more websites, currently it works best for youtube.
Key features:
- Detect music audio tracks from the websites you visit and cast to Chromecast
- Support queue, so you can add many items once and let Chromecast do the rest
- Support repeat playback, repeat all/one/none/shuffle
- Support playback and volume controls
- Built-in browser with multi-tabs
- If websites contain both video and audio, this app will select only audio track, so you do not need to worry about network traffic, as the audio track size is usually much smaller than the video size, which is very efficient for Chromecast Audio.
The app works pretty the same way as Google Youtube App, you click on a video, it shows a dialog and let you choose to play or add video to queue, and it also allows you to move the queue items up and down, and play the queue on repeat (repeat none, all, one or shuffle).
It can also with normal Chromecast video, of course, but you only see thumbnail on the tv screen, and the music, not the video, as I already mentioned - only audio.
Here's the video demo on Youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KEGkoC6LPp0
And the app on PlayStore https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sibimobilelab.castwebaudio

Great job!
What I miss:
-Add some way to store playlists
-Add whole playlist from YouTube (This could be too traffic intense and lead to banning the app that is already in gray area...)

Hi,
The idea is to create playlists with your youtube account and I will implement the feature to add the whole playlist to the queue. I will try to do so in upcoming releases.
I know it's risky to do things with youtube, but how do you know it's in gray area?

If you are asking yourself: "Is this legal?", then it is in the gray area.
You are providing easy way to get content without paying (YouTube red or ads).
-the playlist feature will be better if it works with playlists in general not just ones from your account.
-storage is local.
Because:
1.spares all the queries you have to make for each song in playlist every time you open it(there are playlists with hundreds of songs).
2.privacy concerns

Well, I think gg should provide youtube support for Chromecast Audio for free, just like they do with normal Chromecast, since they do not send ads to stream in normal Chromecast as well.
This app allows users to cast to chromecast audio only, not anywhere else, and not play locally or download videos/audios which I think will make it more "legal". So just let's wait and see
About storing the playlists, since I'm not using youtube API, and youtube is the only one of many websites this app supports, the video/audio links that I can get live only for a short time (approx. 1 day) then they will get expired, so storing playlists is not an option for me unfortunately. The official youtube app also does not store playlists locally.

Then make sure to not throw hundreds of requests at once when parsing the playlist.
And one small thing: the "playing" icon (the three animated bars) is annoying (at least for me). You have made plain simple UI keep it that way and just put the simple triangle thing without animation ( ▶ ). It's an Unicode symbol. (one less image to take care of).

Ok, thank you, I'll keep this in mind

This is GREAT! I purchased Chromecast audio only to find out I can't cast from Youtube app. Such a stupid move from Google

Thank you for your offer, unfortunately this app development is suspended and I've removed it from playstore. Now I'm working on an replacement - Amaze Browser, it can also cast youtube to chromecast audio, however the queue function is not yet added, I do plan to add it in future releases.

It would be a heavy request to google server and I avoid doing this to protect the app in play store . In fact I removed most of the things with YouTube - download, background playing, only leave the Chromecast feature.
Pls keep in mind that the queue feature is not yet added in Amaze Browser, continue to use Tubo cast if you need this feature.

Tubo Cast was a great app so far!!! It would be great if you publish a hacked version out of the Play Store... I'd be glad to donate to you! Youtube playlist support is a must in my opinion... it'd be a killer feature for sure!
Maybe you could publish it on the Play Store "as is", and let we download an unofficial plugin that enables that feature!
Probably I'm only dreaming...

Mh... I'm a new Chromecast Audio user, since I bought it last week, anyway, I tried several way to cast youtube contents to that thing... and your app (I found it somewhere around the web after reading this post) is the best solution because it doesn't need a constant stream between phone and chromecast. It'd be absolutely perfect with playlist support... and I mean perfect indeed!
I didn't have disconnection issue till now... I'm having more issues with apps like Deezer, just to say, because it randomly disconnects, starting to play the sound from my phone's speaker...
By the way "I can't promise" means "no" or "maybe"!

Means " no" for now
If you encounter the disconnection issue, follow the workaround mentioned in the home page to solve it

Again we published it to playstore, and also added premium verion.
Change log:
- Upgraded browser, added startpage, bookmark, history, search suggestion
- Use wifi wakelock to prevent disconnection issue
- Upgraded to more stable version of Google Cast API
- Added premium version

1.What is premium? Just supporting your efforts or something else? One can't really understand from changelog/app.
2.Is there a typo in the name? I see now TubCast instead of the previous TubeCast.
3.What is the difference to the other browser app that you are developing.

1.What is premium? Just supporting your efforts or something else? One can't really understand from changelog/app.
2.Is there a typo in the name? I see now TubCast instead of the previous TubeCast.
3.What is the difference to the other browser app that you are developing.

regarding your question:
1/ Yes premium is to add a little support for the development
2/ Tubecast is the name in playstore, in the app I made a tupo name Tubcast which is funny
3/ It supports queue, the other browser does not yet support queue, this one focuses on chromecast audio and shows popup dialog directly when it finds audio links, this app is also more lightweight and removed part of the UI in compare to another browser,
and the UI is more close to the youtube app
4/ It supports most of the sites except flash websites
5/ Will need to check with vbox7.com
6/ You still need to add songs one by one, adding the whole youtube playlist is not possible

Hey, this app is only available in India, Indonesia, and Brazil Play Store.

Aite Folks!
Please post Feedback directly on thread (instead of PM'ing me). Thank You all for suggesting the changes (which I take considerable time to present on this thread).
You could directly write on this thread, instead, so that the active developers can get faster knowledge of the issues and suggestions.
About the correct format of Presentation:
✓ Use the in-app feedback, especially for problem related to music quality or track misinformation.
✓ This Thread is an unofficial accessory to the official in-app Feedback mechanism, which caters to issues which are going to affect the global experience.
✓ Mention Correct App Version from [Gear Settings Icon] > About > App Version
✓ Take Screenshot of the About Screen and attach it.
✓ Take Screenshots/Screen Recordings and post them privately on Imgur or Mediafire (not Affiliate Links) and attach link here.
✓ Add your Resso Username (The first one you had set)
✓ The following feedback tabs are to be used in Feedback Header:
× [BUG]: Reporting a confirmed Bug.
× [FEATURE REQUEST] : Requesting a new feature essential to the app user experience.
× [SUGGESTION] : Requesting a non-essential feature, as an accessory to the present app features.
× [POLL] : Amass community feedback on a topic directly related to the app in the forms of Likes/Thanks/Thumbs Ups.
Following the above guidelines would help developers receive organize issues and tackle problems in correct priority.

Hey there, just wanted to say this app is amazingly well made.
I suppose I'll admit I share the concerns over how you're making money. Something as professional looking as this is has to have been a lot of time to develop and if it's closed source no one else can check to make sure that there's no malicious code stealing ad data or something like that. I also have to ask, what's the source for the music? Like, how do you have access to high quality versions of all these songs??
Questions aside, this app is great, very well done. Will certainly be interested in donating for an app like this to keep you afloat.

I agree with the last message. This app is incredible well-made and can't believe how this has no recognition at all. Everything works great and smooth, let's see how this project goes!

Will be glad if you do your part in spreading the app if you like it.

Okay so this app definitely deserves more recognition.. It is very well made and has a beautiful and smooth UI. Love the animated gif feature and dynamic lyrics.
I have a couple of requests or improvements that will make this app my main music streaming application.
1. I think the search option needs to be refined more. Mostly I have to either type exactly what I want, which means that the search predictions aren't helping me much. Or, I have typed out a popular song or album but whatever shows up immediately is anything but that album/song.
For example, if you search for Kamikaze, and you scroll to the album tab, it isn't immediately shown. Or maybe it's just somewhere deep down in the search results..
However, if you search for Eminem, click the artist and then see his albums, you have a much easier time finding the actual album than using the search option. (If you try my example search in practice, you'll see what I'm talking about)
Maybe the search algorithm doesn't take into account the artists you usually listen to and just shows everything that resembles your search term?
2. The ability to transfer playlists or complete sync with either Deezer or Spotify. I think this will bring a lot of users to your app and I'm pretty sure you're already aware of this. I also think this option deserves priority over the rest. I'm itching to bring forward my Spotify playlists
3. This is not strictly for me, but maybe an option to allow downloads to external sd card? I know a lot of people that use that option.
4. The playlists mostly displayed as recommendations are seemingly by users that aren't actively using the app? Perhaps they used the app in the past but stopped updating the playlists? There's a bunch of top 20 playlists from years ago that are severely outdated. I'm not sure how you would tackle this but I thought it was worth bringing up.
5. Ability to cast music to chromecast.
I think these are the main ones that come to mind for now. Apologies if it seems like I'm ungrateful or complaining, I'm simply reporting my findings. This app is honestly quite lovely and I'm happy that you have decided to release such an app.
Thank you

I gave my feedback when it was lava music..and now again.. this app is amazing.. but the only downside is audio quality.. just bring it above 360 and it will be awesome

Isnt the app name was lava music...and then it was removed from play store (just like solo music)..?and now its rebranded as drift music

Welcome to XDA! There's 3 - 4 options to download for most music, 320, 192, 128 and for some very old music 64 kbps.
Scaling above 320kbps is definitely a luxury at this moment with the cost, but who knows what [donations/investments] await us.
Drift is a Fork of Lava Music. Lava Music has ceased to exist as a part of the Secret Music Project.
Solo Music Project is another great music project which has also ceased to exist.

But why are they ceased to exist?
Did thanos snapped them?
So what's the guarantee that drift music wont be stopped and where could we get the new version or drift or (a new name) app

Thanks a lot

Why this app constantly getting removed from xda labs??

The only cons i faced while using the lava music and now drift (new version) is that it is not optimised well ..the app lags ..drains battery fast.. and many times hangs.m

debmaj2 said:
2) Completely agreed. It's only that we are skeptical how Spotify would react to it. ? Being based from India, where Spotify will be released soon, I'm pretty sure they might scrape our API keys as they discover us, but as you said, what's the harm in trying?

I appreciate your detailed response. Regarding this 2nd point, you can actually go the route of supporting playlist transfer with Deezer. People can then use a website like Spotizr to transfer their playlists to Deezer. I'm currently using Deezer and transferred all my playlists over from Spotify using that site. And I feel that ultimately, you would have to support playlist transfer from both Deezer and Spotify anyway.
I found an area of improvement. If I have selected a song to be added to an already downloaded playlist, the song isn't automatically downloaded. I have to manually download that song. Perhaps this can be a playlist specific option? Like a toggle that automatically downloads the song in that particular playlist whenever the song is added?
BTW I've been using your app as my main music streaming app since yesterday due to it having Indian/Pakistani and English music. I didn't realise this before. Previously, I needed to use multiple apps for these languages but you seem to have a decent collection of music in all three languages. And lyrics too. Honestly, this is so much more convenient than creating playlists in two apps.

First of all, Clear your App Data and you'll be greeted by the favourite artists page, choose Bollywood Artists. This'll be your first step to customise.
If you have registered yourself using Facebook/Google, then go to your profile>Edit Profile>Tags and choose 'Bollywood'.
Finally, listen to Bollywood music! The more you listen, the more the Playlists and For You list personalizes to your Music taste in the Discovery Section.
Hope this helps!
If you were helped
Thank, Spread the Word :fingers-crossed:
