have you tried slacker?

I'm playing with it now... its weird, different. Their top stations are awful but I created a new station that was playing my kind of music.
The thing I loved about lastfm was their vast selection of music. They even knew about this local garage band around me. I guess time will tell if slacker is good, but I'm open to more suggestions

My favorite music app over and above all else is now AudioGalaxy. Check it out. It streams all the music from your home computer without you having to sync.

i like GrooveShark. its not free, but at 3usd a month, its not going to bankrupt me. you can cancel it anytime too, and you get to use playlists from other people(check out reddit, grooveshark playlists). you can see these on your computer and your phone, and mark favorites from them.
i'd check out the free version on your PC first, everything it can do, so can the mobile client.

HOW DID I NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS?
setting up when I get home today... wow, this would be my savior. I keep having to add/delete cds off of my sd card, this sounds like a much better solution.

I used Titanium backup to remove the stock music player and now my lockscreen music controls on CM7 and my headset music buttons work for AudioGalaxy without firing up another player. That used to happen to me. Sometimes I'd have 2 players play at the same time. Since AG is really the only mp3 player I need I uninstalled the other ones.

Another alternative is Grooveshark.

While I personally love grooveshark and pay for it to use the android app, the fact that such payment is required makes this a less than likeable alternative for many who are seeking something free like lastfm used to be.

I'm curious as to why would you want music while talking to someone.
I mean you having phone sex that you need music to get her in the mood so you gotta jam some Keith Sweat/ R Kelly/ Trey Songs<( for the younger Gen).
So what's the reason behind it OP?

Its perfectly understandable why he would want to do this. Havnt you ever been on the phone talking to someone about a song and just told them to look it up on their computee or something when they got home....well if you had a good song you wanted to tell them about and hear you could just play a little bit of the song for them from your phone.

that's basically what they did with Google Music
you can share a music link from your App, and they can play it on their side right away even if they did not purchase it
the only requirement is for both to have Android Phone with Google Music installed

I remember that being a massive battery eater. Otherwise totally agree.

Never had it drain my battery any more than any application that streams data while in use. It does use more power than keeping songs on your phone but never was a battery drain on any of my devices. The new software definitely is smoother though.

I had it install apps on my homescreen. What a pain in the ass. Took me a couple of days to find out what the hell was installing apps, they would just appear out of no where. I was also getting ads in the notification bar. This was on my SG2 so maybe something is different with SG3.

haven't seen anyone mention this one yet but I use TinyShark Downloader... it downloads songs in mp3 format from groove shark and works really well. I don't think there are any ads but I use ad free so it might but I don't see them.there's also a version to stream instead of download. the download version is not on the market anymore (due to copyright issues maybe?)
exigo.x10.mx/ the green shark icon is the downloader and blue is the streaming version

What music downloader are you using?

Just as the title says, which are you using? I've always been on music junk and love it when it works but the constant network errors are getting to much for me. I would love to find an equal or better replacement for music junk.

Well I wouldn't necessarily say that as both those apps can be found on the Play Market & no links were posted to "illegally" acquired/ing content.

Yall r asking to get this thread closed by suggesting pirate apps lol. Cuz u know someone will be dumb enough to post a link sooner or later. But in reference to the OP i use doods music streamer which syncs with my grooveshshark acct. It lets me download "offline" music so i dont have to be connected to a network to listen but the files are proprietary to the app itself so i cant transfer to a cd or make copies which would make it illegal. Has built in eq and playlist support.

streaming to Xbox360 UPnP apps

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.
