I am not sure if anybody is aware of this app but IMO it is one of the best apps out there and takes advantage of the "4G" speeds of the G2. Stream your entire music collection to your phone (you can also download it directly for offline listening) or to any computer you want. I have been using this since I got my G2 and it is a very very cool app.

Thanks for the post...now that I can stream my entire iTunes library the G2 experience just got a whole lot better.

Ill try it out
I like it...it's much slicker than SkyTunes, in my opinion. It also doesn't have the "stuttering when not in the app" problem that SkyTunes does (as I imagine the Android app is native).
Skytunes has potential as adobe air apps mature. Especially when air goes out on iphone (advantage of air, write once for many platforms).
If anyone has problems make sure you read the website. Most problems come from port forwarding.
I always wanted a huge microsd card. My current size of my mp3 collection is roughly 55gbs and dreamed of the day that I could carry all my music. Never have to worry about that again.
And with google getting into doing this very thing this app/service does... watch out.

I don't mean to diss SkyTunes too much, but it still feels really unfinished. I had no problems forwarding the port myself (something that I know Subsonic can do for you with uPnP, though), and I read that the update may help with the audio stuttering. That's definite progress, but Subsonic feels much more finished already.
Do any of you know what I have to do to stream music from my comp over 3g? I can stream over my wifi but on regular cell data it just trys to connect then fails.
You are going to have to look at your router settings and forward the port to your computer most likely.

I've been using this for quite some time, I tweaked the settings to even allow me to stream movies from my server as well.
I uninstalled the app because though I entered the server name, I could not get info on what username/password to use.

I dont think the evo can stream everything as of yet. Mostly videos, music, and pictures that are on the sd card. Could be wrong though.

Because Sprint's 3G is terrible...
Loving the EVO but compared to my buddies on Verizon our 3g is awful.
4G doesn't do much good for most of us.
Ugh... I will give sprint another 6 months to see if they can really come through.
On a related note, I was able to stream youtube through the HDMI on 2.1... don't know about 2.2 b/c I'm on CM6 (no way I'm going with the official froyo since I don't have 4g in NY)
I stream from iPhonemoviez.net through hdmi on 3g regularly, but its with the pop up streaming media player. The other website is flash and it doesnt give me the option to choose player because its embedded I guess. Just thought there might me a fix.

I have a paid slacker radio subscription. I couldn't be happier with it. Caching is awesome. Thought I'd make a thread sharing my custom station. It's awesome if you like bands like 3 doors down, Creed, Default, Shinedown, Seether, Puddle of mud, Chevelle, and Breaking Benjamin.
Here's the link http://slacker.com/r/00VYn
I like all kinds of music. Pandora or Slacker. What's Yours?
I also have a paid slacker account, my fav is Rise Against Radio...

Also, what is this caching you speak of? I've seen it on the app, but never used it since I dunno what it does...
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
You download hours worth of music from any station of your choose for offline listening. When offline listening you don't need a data connection and you save tons on battery because you're not pushing anything through your data connections because the music has been downloaded. If you have a paid account you can cache 25 station. Be warned it takes a long time to cache stations, so only do it when you go to bed. Just leave it downloading, I usually only do 3-5 stations. I also found it helpful to go into settings and not allow the device to update by itself when it hits a wifi connection.
Another thing is go to menu>setting>wireless & networks>wi-fi setting>menu>advance>wifi-sleep police>never>and then the home button. This now makes so your wifi connection doesn't cut off when the screen is off. You're caching doesn't get interrupted when the screen is off.
It's an awesome feature. Try it.
OP question on the caching. How many songs does it cache? Also, how long does it stay on your phone (expire?). Sounds very interesting and I would lean towards getting it if it works out how I think it does.
I've already done the wifi sleep thing, I hated that it would shut off...
Thatnks for the info on the caching, I never noticed it in the menu options...I mostly use slacker at work so this will be very useful.

I dont know for sure ive read 100 songs per station. You get to cache 25 stations. Only 4.99 a month. I've only cached 1 set of stations on my g2 music device which is not my phone and I've never had to change the songs out again so I'm pretty sure it saves 100 songs per station. You get it for free 14 day if you wanna test it out.

Actually its only 3.99 a month...atleast that's what I get charged.

I tried slacker(paid) twice on my nexus one. The first time, was for a long trip down a truck route(less traffic and construction) to georgia. The second time was for a trip down to visit my wife's friend in myrtle beach.
First time: It worked well. Caching worked great. It never stopped playing the whole time. 14+ hours and it didn't stop.
Second time: It didn't work right. It wouldn't load songs. It kept skipping ahead on it's own. Caching didn't seem to work.
Even though it worked well the first time, I found that it's selections weren't nearly as accurate as pandora. I'd pick music by lil wayne, and a couple songs in it would start playing lady gaga and mariah carrey. Nothing against the two artists, but the genres don't exactly mix. In my opinion, if pandora were to incorporate caching(they've said they will not), it would be the perfect app.
I'm going to revisit slacker on my g2 and hopefully get some new results.

Make sure when your start the caching of stations your phones signal is strong and uninterrupted. Calls don't affect the WiFi signal. That may be causing it to freeze or skip. When making custom station slacker gives you a very long list of artist / bands for you to determine which to play and which not to play You also have the option to ban artist from your station... no more lady gaga.

lol no one uses last.fm anymore?
I can't get cache stations to work anymore, not sure if it was the recent Slacker app update or the G2 OTA Update. Anyone else having problems? I tried uninstalling and reinstall, but no help! I'm pissed, it was working great!

Try uninstalling the app then go into your sdcard and delete the slacker folder. Then reboot your device and do a clean install of the app, not a backed up version. It should work. Try it and let us know.
I did everything you suggested twice but still no Cache play. Finally I reinstalled a 3rd time and then I cached & refreshed 1 station over the mobile network instead of over WiFi. Right now everything seems to be working okay. I'm gonna slowly add more stations and see what happens. I'll keep you informed.
Gonna try Slacker again...
I used to use it on my MT3G and it used to stall a lot...I then started using Pandora and that worked great until recently (maybe past 4-5 months) it contantly skips songs when playing from my phone.
My music is quite diverse
Station 1: Tool, STP, Alice in Chains, Breaking Benjamin, Chevelle, Linkin Park, etc...
Station 2: Dropkick Murpheys, Flogging Molly, Enter the Hagis, Young Dubliners, The Cranberries, etc...
Station 3: Hank Williams Sr, Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Patsy Cline, Willy Nelson, Elvis, etc...
Station 4: Lifehouse, Kutless, Thousand Foot Krutch, Haste the Day, Red, etc...
I will post my stations later this evening when I get home
This question is for anyone with a Synology DiskStation NAS and a LG Optimus G: have you had issues with DS Audio over Sprint's CDMA network? Over Sprint's CDMA network I cannot stream music where I live (large city) but about 120 mi away in my hometown (much smaller city) it works just fine. I can access the music library but when I try play a track the wheel in the upper left corner of my screen keeps spinning and the track never starts. A couple things worth mentioning are that my download speeds where I live are faster than my hometown and DS Audio works fine on my HTC Evo OG at both locations. Also, Netflix and Pandora work fine on the CDMA network at both locations on the LG. DS Audio works fine over WiFi on the LG.
I have a ticket in with Synology and they're looking into it.

That is an excellent question. I'll test it out tomorrow when I'm away from home. DS audio worked fine on my evo 4g too... But the only time I've tried using it on the LGOG is at the gym where I frequently have signal issues anyway.... I'll test and get back to you.
On another note, are we technology twins? Same phones, same NAS... Lol :what:
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app
So I can confirm I'm having the same problem. 3G won't work. It loads the library fine, but never loads or plays a song. I'm also in a large city - no LTE here yet.
Interestingly, the connection does work on wifi even using the dns address, which means it's probably something wrong with the app itself. I'll see if my friend with an HTC One X on AT&T has any better luck.
EDIT: works just fine on at&t
Let me know if I can be of any help while you're working with Synology.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app
Thanks for checking into that. What version of Android is the other phone you checked this on running? One thing I have speculated is that this may be an issue with 4.0.4 but I have doubts since I feel there would be more people complaining if that was the case.
DS Audio uses the native MediaPlayer (would post a link to the Android developer site but my post count is too low) to play music streams just like Pandora so I think it has something to do with their initialization since Pandora works fine over CDMA. I have sent Synology my log collected with aLogcat and the error below appears A LOT when I am trying to play a song over CDMA, but not when everything is working fine on WiFi.
W/NEXSTREAMING( 196): nexSALBody_SockRecv - select ret : 0, errno=0
I will keep you updated regarding what Synology tech support comes back with, technology twin.
So I found out how to fix this issue:
Disable the proxies all Sprint network traffic is routed through on your phone. Unfortunately, you're gonna need to get your MSL and to do that you need to contact Sprint and ask for it (the methods I found on Google don't work anymore). When I asked for it I told them I was developing a music streaming application that was having issues and I believed it was because of the proxies the internet traffic is routed through so I needed the MSL to test if that was the case. The thread below has the instructions to disable the proxies:

android tethering isn't set up to route data through an alternate APN (like iPhones) when the phone is in tethering mode – meaning AT&T would actually have to scan packets to determine whether or not you’re tethering. i dont know if they're taking the time/money to do that. i wouldnt do anything beyond some web browsing and email (like music/video streaming). you should be all set, regardless of whether or not your tablet and phones use the same rom.

Cool, thanks....how do they catch other people though? I've seen posts where people are saying they got a note from them..
Sent from my Nexus 10 using xda premium
It really depends. Someone here said they got a notice for connecting to their car via Bluetooth, but from what I've seen, the majority of people who get caught are using larger than average amounts of data via tether.
Some have said they got caught by just doing basic tasks, but I have been tethering for a year or two with my iPhone and now my gs3, and have never gotten a notice. Even played Xbox live a few times through my iPhone

i and many other people, i believe, would like to get to the bottom of exactly HOW they catch you , i use to have a few iphones , i would tether one iphone without a sim to the other iphone and surf , i got text messages all the time saying they were gonna remove my unlimited,

I recently got Google all access music and have kept the music onto my phone but I have a dilemma. I can't seem to find where the music is located on the actual device. Also, is there a way to just download my music from all access on the computer? This was one of the main reasons why I got all access because I read that others are able to transfer their requested music to iTunes. Thanks
Update ---- After searching extensively on google I found a website called songspout.com that allows you to download your Google access music in 320 kbs onto your computer and do as you will with it. I don't know if this just makes the job downloading from Google access easier or what but I do know that I tried it and it does work. I was able to download 5 Google access songs before I was prompted to pay $9.99 per year for unlimited. Any thoughts on this as well?
I am under the impression that, similar to rhapsody, all access saves the music in a way that is not accessible by other media players. I ended up switching to rhapsody due to a very bad experience with all access.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
Aww dude. Lol I feel like a sales person but you can now download all your music basically to iTunes or wherever you want with that program legally and easily. As long as you have all access you have unlimited downloads to a place of your choice.

If it works for you, go for it! I was having some seriously atrocious streaming speeds through all access. I also had an issue with battery drain while listening to music. Rhapsody had none of these issues. I think that, because all access is such a new feature, it needs time to grow and debug just like any piece of software.
