You can also beam Contacts you're looking at
I think you can do pictures/videos but I've yet to try

I heard you can beam Scottie up. True Story.

gallery images & videos won't transfer via Android Beam.. you can launch apps & games provided that it is installed.. if it's not installed on the other device it opens up the market link to it.. map locations can also be beamed..
i also just noticed that paypal has an NFC widget for easy money transfers.

Anything with the blue nfc app from the market

Blue NFC is a very very nice app, I will try it with my galaxy nexus and my friend nexus s

tested here with an GN and Nexus S, getting always receiption error ...
looking fine, BT starts on both devices, transfer file, closes BT on both devices,
but error receiption on target device.
normal BT transfer tested and working fine.
will try on 2 GN to see if that works.

I don't know anyone with a GN so can't test

Google music organization

Is there an easy way to rename the music you download/purchase from Google and move it into my own folder so my ocd will calm down? I know what folder it's in but they label the songs as numbers...
On top of being annoyed it's in different places I hate downloading it every time I flash a new rom.

I just manually did it which can be done fairly easily if anyone is curious

I cured this after testing the Google music store with a 4 dollar album syncing it down by continuing to buy my music from Amazon.

Alternate apps for Google Music

Hi
I just got my Galaxy Nexus yesterday. I was going from a phone that had an sd card slot that I could put my music on. I figured I could live with the less hard disc space because I can stream my music from Google music.
That seems to work fine, but the music app is a little light on features. It's not horrible, but coming from Power Amp, it's a little basic.
Is there any other apps that can stream from google music, and have more features, like EQ and such.
Thanks

Wich app...do u need man

Google music still has a private API, so no other app can stream from it.

Drag.
Ok, thanks for the replies

If you use iTunes too, try double twist. Features are alright and it syncs with your iTunes musics including the playlist that was great coming from the guy who had iPod touch. You can also sync it via wifi but that's extra 5 bucks...

An unofficial Google Music API has been out for some time.

What exactly are you missing/wanting?

Google play music has a EQ of sorts when playing a song tap the settings dots then sound effects. From there you get a 5 band EQ bass boost and #D expansion thing.

you can use different music managers with google music.... i.e. DSP manager, vodoo etc.

The Google music app has an equalizer! Just click on the 3dots in the upper right corner when you are in the play screen

CM9 music player is the answer if you're looking for a free option. Power Amp is the best paid option :thumbup:

No apps stream from Google music. The api isn't avaolable. So your only option is the official app

I found Google Music to be very lacking. I uploaded all my music to Amazon and haven't looked back since. Best cloud player and music store for sure. Plus, if you buy just one album per year you get unlimited music storage free (no yearly fee)

I've just uploaded all of my music to Google Music and play via the browser, or I mix it up with Pandora. For local playback I use VLC.

Foobar2000, I love all the options it has. It takes a bit to set up, but it's totally worth it in my opinion.

I hate iTunes but use it because it syncs with TuneSync (which syncs my galaxy nexus and my tablet installed in my car when i get home)

I used foobar for a while but missed recently added playlist, and it was very hard for me to get used too.

I don't think this thread should belong in a Nexus forum. But to answer the question, Foobar2000. Second is Clementine.

*Another for foobar

Yep! Same here. I have all of my songs on iTunes and all my music on iTunes is automatically updated to Google Music. Best of both worlds.

I use Windows Media Player at home to listen to my local library. Pandora when I want to listen to something new. And I use Google Music when I'm on the go.

I have been using Mediamonkey for some years. I hate itunes and Media monkey offers a large range of features. You have to pay for the Gold version though to use certain features.

[Q] Where does Google Play Music store files on the Gnex?

When I pin files to be stored locally on the phone, I can't find them anywhere. There are 2 reasons I care.
1. Every time I flash a new rom, I have to re download the files.
2. I can't get winamp to find the files.
I tried googling it, but the only thing I could find was that it is stored on the sd card under data and play music, but the folder is empty when I check it.
Anyone with any ideas?

Was wondering this myself. Couldn't find them anywhere.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

I actually found them. Unfortunately, the song files are named numerically so I don't know if I can just transfer them back to that directory after clearing cache. The files are stored in the root directory at:
/data/data/com.google.android.music/cache/music

Google does not let you use them other than on your phone through Google play because you can pirate the songs if they let you transfer them freely. Its copy right infringement

Check out the GMusic sniper app on the Play Store. It allows you to download your GMusic to your phone so that you don't have to redownload every time you flash a new ROM.

That's what I'm looking for. I don't think it's available anymore. I sent r2doesinc (who created it) a tweet to see if it is available anywhere. But I'm not holding my breath since no one ever replies to my tweets.
