Hello all,
In light of the recent congressional events regarding ("shhhh") downloaded music, I am now in the wanting to play it safe mode. At my age I have more too loose.
What I'm looking for is the best home to phone streaming app that does not also utilize web based streaming like Audiogalaxy and Subsonic. I am now using both of these but would like to see if there are any alternatives which...shall we say...'are more private'. Simply an app that does not require any website registration but only needs ones own IP to access music.
I would also welcome discussion on the legalities of steaming already downloaded music (home to phone).
Thanks for any thoughts on this topic.
Edit: Now trying Gmote. Can anyone recommend a better one?
Just use Grooveshark.
if you have a daap server at home, say itunes or WDLXTV firmware, there is a simple daap client in the market that works well

Thanks for the reply. After trying Gmote for a couple of days I've decided to ditch it. It tends to start/stop too much on a 3g network, and the UI is horrid. The daap server sounds interesting. If you could recommend one that will work on either XP or W7 I'll try that...assuming there is such an animal.
Is there any app to stream live radios station ?
I move from WM to Android, and I would like to know if there is any app to stream live radio station Wm normally use WMP, but android doesn't support Wmp

Not yet, have looked that one over a bit. Gmote lags too much on 3g so I'll try Homepipe next. Oh yea, and my Bucs almost came back on your Ravens last Sunday. If only Freeman had started his "famous" quick offense earlier.
@dsuare021979 For music streaming try:
Pandora (unlimited access is 36/year but has the best quality sound IMO.
A Online Radio (the "A" is part of the app name)
iheartradio
Last.fm
Thank you for the help, but none of them work with the radio station I normally stream
MEGA 97.9 NY. I hope we get an app like wmp soon.

Checked into Homepipe a bit more closely and it's another type that requires a website registration, which is what I'm trying to avoid. Gmote is what I'm looking for, but it's too buggy for me. Guess I'll keep looking but use Audiogalaxy in the meantime. I like Subsonic but on the EVO it has a tendency to repeat the first song all the time. Anyway, thanks for the input.
Just a question to see if you know something that I don't... if you go through and Retag all of your mp3s there should be no real way to see where they came from... ripped from your own cds or otherwise.... at least that's my opinion. But maybe you know something that I don't?

My only experience with re-tagging is to get the files to look right in Audiogalaxy. I collect alot of "Greatest Hits" albums and most of the tracks each have their own album tag. I wish I knew the answer to your question for my own benefit. Anyone else?
I finally found and app that let me stream any radio stations around the world, ( RADIO TIME ) it work great
I am not the dev but there is a free GrooveShark client out in the MarketPlace so I thought it should get more exposure.
It's very functional and just needs a tiny bit more polish. The sound quality is great even through 3G.
MOD EDIT: Please post app recommendations in WP7 General, as the Apps and Games section is for app release's only as stated in the sticky I made.
THanks man. Been waiting for a GrooveShark client.
Awesome. Seems to work great over 3G though it needs a better way of adding multiple search results to playlists/queue.
Nice. And free !
The interface just needs to be more polished indeed.
Interesting. Too bad Grooveshark isn't going to support WP7. They are open to the idea so with enough support you never know. Keep bugging them via forums and twitter.
Where I can I download MusicShark.xap? I am aware that is not longer in the marketplace available

I think I might have it at home. Pity I restored my phone to NoDo not realising I couldn't unlock it again.
bah, I hope GS isnt deliberately flagging these clients if they dont plan to produce their own. Methinks they made a deal with a competitor :/
Here's the xap
I installed the xap file on my windows phone (E900 7.10.7720.68), but it didn't work. Loading failed with a message, "An error was presented, you have internet conectivity?"
So, I decompile the xap and found out, the server to get the grooveshark data from grooveshark's server is no longer working.
Can anyone use this app?
For people who really love music,
I would recommend the "The Hype" app for WP7.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1145616
It gives access to all the Hype Machine catalog. Hypem.com is a great & free music blog aggregator.
You can make a search, select the songs you like, make a playlist (which will also be available on your PC).
for instance... Here's my playlist (indie, The Smiths, Mountain Goats, Josh Rouse, New Order, Wedding Presents, Balmhorea, etc...): http://hypem.com/#!/eric_sc2
I use my 17 inch laptop (Windows 7) all day and wondered a long time if a tablet could work as an occasional laptop replacement for conference trips, working on documents at a cafe, etc. So far, the a100 has been great for email, netflix, music, calendar, fb, and the like. But it just comes up short for Word-like functions (typing, editing, PowerPoint and pdf's). I have bought Docs To Go, trialed Quickoffice, use Kingsoft, but they are all so clumsy and awkward. I don't think the formatting is very good on any of them. I use a Logitech Bluetooth keyboard, so typing isn't really an issue, but the apps are so limited. A tablet so far just hasn't been what I hoped for, or adequate to occasionally replace my laptop in the main use I wanted it for. Other than that, for the most part, I really like the a100.
Does anyone else share my experience/perspective?
Would going to a larger tablet help (don't really want to, but would be willing to consider it)?
Any opinions??
More simply, would a larger tablet work better typing Ms Word compatible documents? Anyone have this experience?

Larger or smaller, you'll still be limited by the quirky app workarounds, at least for MS Office. You CAN use the web UI for MS Office offered through MS's SkyDrive. Works great. Still isn't exactly like a full inatll of Office but it's really close... Much closer than the 3rd party apps.

Tx Redneck,
i went to download Onlive Desktop and it says 'Your device isn't compatible with this item'. I think it requires a 10" inch screen minimum for compression. At least that is what I read by one user.
How did you get it to work on the a100?
I downloaded the apk from the website and works nicely. A greaaaat app.
Ok, I finally downloaded it and now to learn how to use it. Thanks for the suggestion!
If you are doing a hard core word, spreadsheet or presentation editing no tablet can satisfy you even large or small even with ipad premium apps. Maybe wait till a stable windows 8 powered tablet is released.
If Im in your place and I will need to make an occationally hard core editing I'll Just leave my 17 inch laptop on and connected in the internet then I'll just use Team viewer to remotely controll it and do the editing I needed.

So I signed up for this new service and its awesome. Way better then pandora and other music apps. Especially with the ONE's sounds, perfect app to take advantage for any music lover. Anyone else plan on taking advantage of this or already sign up for it?
Cool.
Heard about this last night.
I have a couple of questions.
So, I know there is a spotify element to it, with subscription and all.
But the "your music uploaded" that you can stream/listen to on the move, is this part free? or part of the subscription?
Sorry if that sounds a bit "window lickers special"
Cheers

If you choose to use Google play music without the subscription, you can upload 50,000 songs to their cloud and stream it to your device as much as you'd like. The all access just gives you similar features to Spotify and Mog... Options to download music to the device and custom artist radio stations etc... I signed up for all access, created a 30 songs playlist, and went on a 5 mile run today... Totally worth it Imo. Especially with the HTC One.

The limit is actually 20,000 songs. A friend of mine ran into that uploading his library yesterday after the announcement.
Yes the limit for uploads is 20,000 and that is not at all a new feature. All Access is just the payed subscription portion which adds functionality like internet radio with on-demand as well, similar to slackr, spotify and mog.
Signed up myself so far I'm impressed. Little disappointed in the classic rock options but everything else is great. Just kind of wish there a quick widget button to enable or disable beats it's really not meant for all songs
my One sent this
I signed up for it the day I could; just to test it. I figure it's a free trial, why not.
Well; I'm keeping it for sure.
I always have to cut some music out, because I stay really close to the 20k limit; and I've tried other services, but when I am out and about I hate switching apps. This just makes life so much easier. From what I can tell, they have a really good catalog to choose from for me; from hardcore, to pop-punk, to hip-hop to dubstep. I've really enjoyed it the past few days and I am definitely keeping it.
It's a unified solution, that in my opinion, hits the nail on the head. The new UI is fantastic as well, I love what Google is doing!
If you haven't tried it, I definitely recommend it!
I want to try it out... but it's not out in Canada : (

Hello everyone! I have no experience when it comes to how nfc works, especially when it comes to the Disney Infinity base and figures, but I had a really cool idea when thinking of my friends young son. I was wondering if there was any way to get the base to speak to a PC, so that when I place a figure, it would play the correct movie associated with that figure.
With my limited knowledge, I would assume you would have all the movies ripped to a drive on your PC, then once you figure out how to get the base to speak to the PC, you would run a script or program that would recognize the figure and then play the correct movie, so a Buzz Lightyear figure would play Toy Story, a Baloo figure would play Jungle Book, etc.
The kiosk in the stores worked in a similar way, it would play a demo video when the figure was placed on the base, I was just wondering if there was any way to do this at home. It would be cool to run something on a HTPC so that the little ones could grab their toy, place it on the base, and their favorite movie would start playing automatically.
Any advice on what to research would be greatly appreciated.
Alright, so I'm pretty late to the party, but this isn't going to be possible without drivers for the base under Windows. Oh wait, they don't exist.
It DOES work as a generic HID device under Windows, but with no way to activate the device, good luck even parsing the raw input.
Best course of action is a USB sniffer with a console. You'll need to read the init process from the console, and then replicate that. Then it's just a matter of reading the data sent back.
I'm not sure if the codes on the figures are unique, but I'd guess they are. You'd have to have some fun getting dumps and matching them up to what the figures are. Nobody seems to care about Infinity. Most people care about Amibo, or I guess Lego Dimensions.
Then, once the hard work is done, you'd just launch VLC with the correct video file as an argument.
