Any thoughts on it? I think it's awesome. Looks way better but I think they took out the function where you can skip ahead in the song

I wish it were. As far as worthwhile music apps this is the one you want though. I pay $10 a month and it's worth every penny there's also a $5 dollar one if I remember correctly.
It's free to use on pc though
Lockscreen
I love the new app but the lockscreen controls don't seem to work half the time. Anyone else notice this?

Assuming you downloaded the new version of Spotify and have a G Nex, when you are playing a song just let the screen time out. It will appear on the lockscreen much like Google Music does.
If that doesn't work try clearing the data for Spotify.
The problem is when I pause a song in the lockscreen and leave for a minute it won't play again.

Oic... Sounds like Android is closing the program because it thinks it's being unused. I'll try
Yeah, the lockscreen control is iffy. No scrobble to last.fm. And pause stops all together. You have to re-enter the app to start it all over.
I'd never tried spotify before so I got the 48 hours free. And then I'll sign up for the 30 days free; however, the Rdio app has a lot more extras and functionality. And it's also recently been updated to holo theme, as well.
When I came across the review of the new Spotify revamp over on Engadget today, I couldn't help but...

The old Spotify app used to FC, freeze, and fail to successfully sync music for offline use. The revamped app has solved all these issues for me. Not to mention the app is MUCH more responsive than the old version.
If you are a Spotify user this is a must have.
But in my case, all the starred items in that playlist do not appear. Anybody else experiencing this?

The Spotify Preview works so much better than the one listen in the Play Store. I do notice some pausing while streaming. Is this happening to anyone else? It may just be my cruddy data connection in the office. Dunno though.
Does the alfa tags work via blue tooth (does it show the name of the song in car stereo, when streaming through blue tooth)?
One problem I'm having that I'd like confirmed or not is that there seems to be no way now to listen through your entire music collection as one giant playlist. I used to do this quite a lot on the old spotify and set to shuffle to jump randomly between all playlists. Don't seem to be able to do that now. Am I missing something?

So I've been itching to ask this question, I can't even find a forum that even discusses or mentions this, but ever since I got my epic, back in april, I've always experienced my letters missing in my music player. I prefer the samsung music player over the google music cause it looks great, does what I want (for the most part at least), and the google music looks...well, dull, it's too bare, butta$$ naked, for me, and the shuffle option always turns itself off every time I manually choose another song. So here I am, months later, many many updates and ROMS later and still it does this. I'm not complaining, jw if there's anyone else has this issue or found a fix for it, especially since I listen to my epic from the time I go to work to the time I get back. At the very least someone explain this to me, cause I don't understand why...>.> LOL

maybe if you post screen-shots there would be a better understanding on my part but if you have had this same issue since you've had your epic and it happens on every rom with every-update, i have to ask are you using titanium back up to restore it? if so, that could be the root of your problem. if not i say that you might be looking for characters that the music player just takes out because its using your music files Unicode tag that's associated with the files themselves and what you see as a error might be a correction! idk but hopefully it helps, try a different music player and see if it does the same.

Well I've never used titanium backup on my epic. I've tried other apps, poweramp is nice but I don't wanna pay and the only other I absolute love without question is the miui music player, but every apk I come across doesn't have the equalizer built in like the one that's currently in beta. Anyways, I took a screenshot. Its just random letters. Its just kind of irritaiting when I try to scroll to the E section when its not there, lol. I mean, from the sounds of it, this could just be an issue of my own that no one else has experienced? I understand that can happen with some unfortunate people, thankfully this isn't a life or death kind of issue.

This is interesting. Are you on a custom rom, or just stock?
~E.R.A.
This is version 2.10 - old version was 2.8.x
A few differences in this one, mainly that you can set your own wake up command! (Haven't tried it myself. "Hi Galaxy" comes standard) Couple more bluetooth settings, ability to set memos and alarms, opens apps, new UI, yada, yada, yada
Edit: found out the hard way by installing on my GF's GSII... this is made for 720p screens too

One from market doesn't wake up with "Hi Galaxy", it's "Hi VLingo", and you can't change it. This one is also made for our 720p screen. Also a couple extra options in this.

Facebook integration isn't baked into ICS. Did you try Twitter?
I think i figured it out. Its not quite 100% stable, but it does work well overall. The crashing that people are seeing when they can do NOTHING without a crash happens when you use any other wake-up command OTHER then the default "Hi Galaxy". If you don't change the wake-up command it works fine.
When i was changing the command it would crash before i could do anything. Tried it 3 times. Uninstalled and re-installed. Then i didn't change the command and it worked. Once i KNEW it worked, i changed the command as a test and it crashed again.
Can someone else who is getting constant crashes confirm this?
That was my conclusion as well with this app.
I'll see about testing again, but I left the wake up command the way it was (Hi Galaxy)... Mine would allow me to do a command but once complete it would then crash...
Are you leaving other version of Vlingo on your phone or removing?
Google Music is onlyavailable in the USA. Is there a similar service in Canada?
Thanks
Once you have created an account (do it on your computer thru a proxy), you will be able to use Google Music in Canada. You can't buy music but you can still stream/download for offline use.
There is a guide how to use Google music outside of US here in xda. I followed that guide and using Google music in Korea.

I was able to use proxy very easily. Using Firefox browser, a plugin called "stealthy" is used, and is visible, once installed in the top right corner of your screen. When you want the proxy turned on, click the stealth bomber and it turns green. Want it off? Click it again and it turns red!
I am able to go to google music anytime using this method, and works flawlessly!

You know you only needed a proxy when signing up? After that, you can use Google Music normally without any issues.

Or basically anywhere you would normally get music before Google Music popped onto the scene only a few short months ago. Odd question.
I use Microsoft Zune. Music is generally cheaper than other places and the UI is great. My sister and I buy a Zune pass together. The music is DRM protected, but there are ways around that...

Mainly iTunes but that's due to a lack of options. I always check hmvdigital.ca first though and if it's the same price there, I'll get it from there instead of iTunes. hmvdigital songs are for the most part 320kpbs and are DRM free and you can download them again and again as many times as you want.

Is this still working for you? I have been using the services in Canada without issue until today, now the Music Manager won't upload additional songs. Methinks Google may have caught on.
I use 7digital. They have a Canadian store and an Android app so you can buy right to the phone if you like. The stuff I've purchased has been 320kbps DRM-free. Easy as pie.
I've been using Google music in Canada since it launched with absolutely no issues. I used a program to fake my IP for the invite, as far as I know you no longer need an invite now. Music manager works flawlessly as well, overall the whole setup is beautiful and I love it.

So I have been using a windows phone with a zune pass which allows you to download unlimited music and stream it. Its almost exactly like MOG. Now I have this phone and use mog. I paid for the subscription so I can download music to my hearts content. This issue is that my car radio doesn't display any of the artist or song info of the downloaded music or the streaming music. Mog saves the songs as random numbers and not by any artist title. My question is what subscription based music app let's you download and stream music that is similar to zune but not mog.

Thanks for all the recommendations. I tried the free trial for rdio and it doesnt seem as refined as mog and basically works the exact same. I have resigned to the fact that no music from my android will display the artist, song, and album info onto my truck radio. I have tried to use MOG, Apollo (using songs that I manually ripped and put on the phone), and songs from my google music and none will display the song info on my truck's screen. Has anybody had success with Android and displaying the song info on radios? My Lumia 900 did it just perfectly but my Gnex just says no text for every kind of app that plays music.
Well, my friend used his Galaxy S III (stock) and was able to play music from google play and it displayed the information up on my truck's radio. It is either the phone or the ROM that i am using (phandroid). I dont want to flash another rom though to test it, so if anybody is able to display song / title info onto their vehicle radios, please let me know.
Next issue, is that on wp7 phones, it automatically will read texts to you while connected to a bluetooth headset, which is extremely useful for driving. Gnex doesnt do this. I am curious as to what apps people are using that can do this same thing. Any ideas?

Doubtful. You could just backup in recovery... and then flash a new ROM and see if it works if it works then just start over if it doesnt just restore your nandroid. Everything will be back to the way it was like nothing ever occurred.
In case anyone was looking for a music app that has edge screen controls, I just realized my Poweramp does have built in controls along with cover art automatically on the edge screen.
I am not rooted yet, running stock. But i do have the paid version of the app and i downloaded the free poweramp widgets pack... not sure if that makes a difference

That's not built-in to Poweramp. It's part of Touchwiz.

So I guess Samsung has built in something to make this happen, that's great. This means we may not be so reliant on others for compatibility.
Power amp just added new edge controls specifically for Edge users! I really dig it but it doesn't add anything as far as panels go. Check it out, I'm on the paid but I'll bet you van check them on the trial version.
I noticed that if i start playback from Google play music's widget the edge controls are not activated, only if i actually start the app. Has anyone figured way around this?

Yes, most apps that place playback controls in the notification panel get edge controls.
However, it appears that some may not.
"Shazam" has notification panel controls but does not create an edge panel.
