what internet radio are ya'll using? always been a pandora person but tried slacker and it really works well until u figure out that its in no way free. prefer something that is both PC and Droid based. dont really care to pay a monthly slacker fee, maybe i am just cheap. thanks for all opinions. just dont want to keep creating accounts to try different apps. info is kinda out dated or vague on all searches.
thanks
I love slacker. I use the cache option a lot. Download loads of music from radios stations and play then without a data connection is a big plus for me because I work out in the rural areas where data connections are spotty.

I use last.fm...*yes* I know it's subscription-based, but it's not too much and it's worth it to me. It's more personal than Pandora if you have enough scrobbles...I have five years worth of them, so it knows me real well.
I also use Stitcher for podcasts.
Pretty much set between Google music beta (instantly streaming any of my 8k songs is nice) and Pandora. As long as I have a data connection that is..
Slacker for me. I don't like that they got rid of the "next song coming up" thing, though. (For free at least)

Pandora, TinyShark (links to GrooveShark). Would like to try Google Music Beta.
For a couple hours there was a post in the thunderbolt forum with a modded Pandora app which allowed unlimited skips but was removed.

I use these. Theyre still on droidforums
Youre looking at a crackflashing troll with ORD
I love ICS, especially for the small things like the Google Music controls on the lock screen (even the secure lock screens). but, it makes their podcast app Listen look even more dated than it already was.
i know there are quality third part podcasting apps, but you guys think Google will touch this soon? Will they add features like speed control, drag-able organization, and quick controls on the lock screen? Or will they finally integrate podcasts into Google Music?
Anyone have any insight?
As far as I can tell, Listen is dead. A good replacement which I use is Pocket Casts. It's well worth the low price.
BeyondPod has my vote for best podcast Manager.
I just have it use my Google Reader feeds to transition from Listen.

Beyond Pod is what I use as well. Not a real polished app but definitely gets the job done. Easy to setup and can automatically download new podcasts and delte old ones from storage.

What makes BeyondPod so much nicer than Listen? I mean i'm open to paying for a great app and such, but Listen has yet to demonstrate any huge flaws that I've felt the need to replace it.
Very curious what has made others dump Listen/pay for a replacement.
i love listen but since labs has been shut down so is further development of listen. i still use it though. im just very used to it.
Just use Pocket Casts best app on the market for podcasts and they have just amazing support team,,,, amazing support team... I can't say it enough.
I do a lot of podcasts and have tried them all, the one that works great for me is dogcather

Its 'doggcatcher'
Yeah my favourite too. If anyone has tried windows phone 7 you'll know what good podcast integration is.
I think it needs to be integrated into Google music. Maybe their working on it.

I got it for free via Amazon's App Store promotion. However I feel bad for getting it for free now. Apparently, Amazon asked them if they wanted to be a part of the Free promotion; Amazon gave them a bunch of numbers about why this would be good for pocket casts, how it would increase sales overall, yadda yadda yadda. Well after the promotion, they obviously had a TON of new users (all of whom did not pay nor did Amazon pay PocketCasts), but they really did not make any money and instead had to find ways to support all these new users. With that said, I probably never would have downloaded (and tried) the App, so while I didn't specifically give them money, I recommend it all the time and encourage users to buy it. I'm super upset that Google cancelled updates/support for Listen but I can at least hope that 3rd party developers such as pocket casts can cash-in.

So sad that Google doesn't support Listen anymore.
I've tried almost every similar app but I always go back to Listen for one reason: no other app lists podcasts by date/time added.
I hate the way some apps place the number of unlistened items next to the podcast's name, forcing you to check every item individually. I just want a single, chronological list.

Listen was abandoned long before Labs was axed. The affiliated Google Groups page was forsaken by the developers 12+ months ago.
This is especially curious since Google Analytics must show how widely used it is.
I use my phone as a mp3 player but some songs I like to listen to off of youtube. I can't when I get the song and hit the lock it pauses the song. I don't know if there is a way around this or if it is the rom. I am running darkside everything. 2.4 that is posted. Please help thank you.

Seems like that would waste alot of bandwidth. Why not just download the songs

Then that would be a bug in the Droid. All android phones are programmed to stop playing YouTube when locked aas far as I know. (I'm 99% sure)

The only torrent I ever used was supernova.com or something like that. once that closed out I never found one I trusted to use. Do you know any?
yeah isohunt and piratesbay work pretty good. You can even download single songs just download the torrent for the artists whole album and just select whatever song you like and click off the ones you dont want

If u stream music and don't mind the data usage, use food's music streamer from market. U can search and play pretty much any any song u can think of. Tuneun Radio is also good. Both these apps play with screen off/lock
Thank you ill give this a shot
This might work. Haven't tried it myself

I have run into an frustrating issue as of late regarding streaming music from my s3 through my xbox using the built in music player. What is happening is the music player will randomly pause while streaming, requiring me to press the play button to get it going again. This is not being caused by incoming messages or calls. I don't have voice enabled. Keep wifi on is also enabled.
Strong wifi signal through entire home. Running frosty Jb v7.
If it's a player issue whats the best alternative? I tried a few from the play store 2player, bubble UPnp, poweramp , winamp. They either have ****ty interfaces or act just as wonky.
Maybe I am just not understanding the tech of it. I turn the xbox, tv and stereo on. Then push the icon on my music player(see attached photo) and it starts streaming through the xbox. I thought it was pretty slick until it started acting up on me.
I'm getting the same thing. Happens more often when I put the phone on shuffle.

Possibly a custom kernel issue? No idea, just a thought. I know they can cause things to not work properly sometimes.
Was on stock. Good thought though.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
I tried bubble UPnP for a while.. didnt like the interface to begin with.. I want to go to artist then sort through various albums. It did work however until the program itself began freezing up and not retrieving my files. So that was a no go.
I am stock. Am I able to stream music as well? Or do I need a particular rom ...Assuming you guys figure this out.

Can be done on stock as well. Its a built in feature, just need to have a wireless(wifi) capable tv, xbox, or ps3 (maybe some thing else like adapters) pretty sure anything DLNA capable. And phone and Device need to be on same wifi.

I did it on stock very easy. If you have Xbox, as long as it's on, your good. If you are watching Netflix, it will stop what you are watching. You have to use a stock samsung app. I just go through my gallery, find a pic or a movie, choose it, and there is an option which looks like a monitor with a couple of hornizontal arrows going through it. This doesn't work for streaming something on a website or whatever. If it is a file already saved to your phone it will work. All you have to do is go to the picture, or start playing the video, tap the screen and on the top you will find that different icon. Again, you have to have your Xbox ON or it won't show the icon. For Xbox it is cool because you could start watching the video or pic on your phone and want to say to everyone, HEY< WATCH THIS! and with one click it goes.
You can also connect it to work with PS3 but it only works as a media server. Meaning, with Xbox, you can decide, hey, I want to watch this on the Xbox now! With PS3, you have to search for the file and THEN, play it. It's not such an immediate action.
Just a quick question that I havent come across in the forums. Im an organization freak and I just wanted to know how I can edit the titles of my songs to change them if they arent properly titled. I tried through a file explorer and even better, through root explorer but it hasnt worked. If someone can help it would be appreciated.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app
I share the same freakish obsession. My library has over 10,000 titles and all of them are perfectly organized and file named.
The answer is not Android. It is a PC application called MediaMonkey. It will auto-organize all of your music, tag it, rename files and convert them on the fly as it syncs with your mobile devices. There is no better solution at any price, and it is free. Even iTunes users switch after trying it, and they are usually too stubborn to admit that iAnything is not the best.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app
Haha, yes I can only agree. But thanks this has been something that has been bothering me everytime I open up my music application. Its greatly appreciated. Ill be sure to check it out and report back

Sent from my SGH-T889 using XDA Premium HD app
I, too, use media monkey. Rather than fixing each song manually, I auto tag from the web, to ensure I get cover art as well. Just stinks to get started, but now I ensure everything is in order as I ingest the songs into my library.
Yeah, I tried tune up but media monkey is free so I cant argue with that. Im getting used to it as we speak.

For this phase of getting your files in order, look in the directory view and find a folder called Files To Edit (or something like that). It shows various folders of files that are missing important information.

Okay, works great thanks for the help.
Btw, while we're on the topic is there any mp3 downloaders any of you would recommend? I use an app that doesnt really have many of the songs I look for.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app
Sorry, I'm no help with that. I always buy full CD's and rip them to FLAC. It may be old school, but I have never found an mp3 source that was anything but unsatisfactory. I do convert to mp3, but I use VBR and a high bitrate.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app
Ahhh, I understand. Well to be honest, l am about to do the same. Itll be much more convienent in many ways.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app
Depends on the quality you want and how much of an audiophile you are. You could use tubemate to simply convert any video on youtube to a mp3. I have done that with some songs I just can't find elsewhere.
What kind of music are you looking for?
Well I used to do the same with youtube except taking every single song individually grew to be a pain. Im just looking for anything that I feel like listening to at the moment. Im currentley in the process of downloading some of System of a Down's albums. Its usually whatever im in the mood for. But sometimes I use an app on the market and it downloads the song yet the artist and the album are incorrect.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app
Ah, gotcha, yep, that's the price you have to pay. I tend to make channels in Last.fm, and let it play music similar to bands I like. Found countless new (to me) bands that way.

There's an Android app called MyTunes Lite that lets you edit ID tags on the phone.
