iTunes for WM6

Hello People,
Any one know if there is an iTunes for WM yet if so WHERE

Nope. I don't think that will happen, ever.
There are other WM based audio managers, though. And there are a lot of PC based media center servers with a web interface, you can use them remotely from WM.

You might be interested in doubleTwist.
It claims to sync even your purchased songs to a lot of devices.

Interesting... Apple just had another update to itunes. anyone having some problems with doubletwist?

Mediamonkey is a great tool with a lot of features. one of the best: it's free (there's also a gold version which isn't free).
it will also recognize your WM-Based phone and you can easily sync songs.
If you're searching for an "iTunes" look-alike player on WM, search the forum for "Mortplayer" (with iMort skin), "S2P", "Melody" or "Lumen"
Cheers

Lumen is still alpha and doesn't play any music yet.

Hello people!
Are there any news on iTunes for WM-based PPC?

Missing the point...
I believe some of the repliers above are missing the point of the question. The real point behind this question is not whether there is a music organizer/sync app but if there is an app for downloading music straight to your phone just like iTunes does. Obviously since the user uses iTunes on his or her computer an iTunes app would be a great solution but ANY program that you could purchase and download music from would be absolutely great. In my opinion that is the one and only thing that still makes me want an iPhone even with all the love I have for my TP2.
So, if anyone knows of a decent app for purchasing and downloading music for a WM phone(similar to iTunes) that would be a great thing to suggest here.

Stream (background) music?

Hey
I was wondering if it possible to stream music from sites like last.fm and thesixtyone.com?
Do i have to change some setting? Donwload an app?
Maybe with flash 10.1?

there is a last fm app on the marketplace

But it would be nice to play it from the last.fm site.
ALso with thesixtyone.com. But thanks for the tip. Streaming music with the app right now!

It doesn't work because of the way Linux works. When you launch another app and "minimize" the browser, it puts it in sleep mode. If it wouldn't (and you could keep streaming), it'd drain your battery insanely fast.

first post here
Still one could throw it on the charger/desktop dock. All I want to do is blank the screen. My perfect scenario would be to have the option to stream music in the desktop charger with a blank screen or the clock... to keep away the burn in blues.
Edit: And I would say this was a limitation to linux as I type this from a system running a popular distro that blows anything m$ has away it is more likely a limitation of software possibly to protect us from a hardware limitation. I thought multitasking meant running more than one app at a time?

I installed a 2.2 ROM and checked thesixtyone again and it worked this time. So i guess with flash 10.1 it will work. Didn't check last.fm.
But i'm unable to install the flash 10.1 for 2.1 so i guess i have to wait. Don't want to run the 2.2ROMS as i don't like the UI.

you should search for TuneWiki,
its freaking awesome, it plays your music on your SD card, Searches lyrics with your music, scrobbles your songs on last.FM and if you want it can search the videoclip through youtube aswell

I second Tunewiki, I personally prefer XiiaLive though.
I stream 256kbps mp3 from digitallyimported.com in the background through it. Both have nice UI's but I prefer the Xiia UI personally.
XiiaLive is formerly known as DroidLive btw...

Thanks for the help. Tried both the last.fm player and tunewiki. Allthough it's not really what i'm looking for these are nice apps.
If you look at http://www.thesixtyone.com/ there starts music playing. It's that what I want in my browser on my Desire. With the 2.2 it works.
If anyone knows how I can install Flash 10.1 for 2.1 it would be nice to hear it.
It seems I can't remove the FlashLitePlugin.apk and can't really work with ADB.

[Q] best music player with crossfading?

hey guys.
have any recommendations for a good music player with crossfading?
I love MixZing but the one thing its missing (for me) is cross fading.
tried MD Music and it's the best at it, but it's still missing a lot of other features. Lithium Player has very nicely integrated cross fading but the UI is not exactly the cleanest.
any suggestions? free or paid, i'm good either way.
thanks

what is the best music app?

i have been really torn of late as to wether or not to keep my desire over my samsung omnia 7. The killer feature on the omnia is the zune music player and the ability to have an acount and download whatever albums i like etc.
Is there such an app or service that is similar to zune that will give me the same functions. I.e to be able to download whatever music and albums i want to the phone for a set monthly payment.
I know its possible to link my phone to i-tunes etc but then i would have to pay for every album i buy.
suggestions please.
Ps i have downloaded poweramp as my music player and am really happy with that. Just need the means to download my songs to the phone now.
I have also tried to use my zune account with all my music on it and transfer the songs to my desire but due to drm it dosent work. Anyone have a work around for this? If so this could solve the problem as i would stick with my zune account.
thanks

Power Amp. BY FAR!

yeah i have that and agree its a great music player
i need however suggestions as to a good music service that allows me to download albums etc to my phone and whereby i pay like a monty subscription.

Just skip the monthly fee and use tunee music or music junk.

I use spotify. It's great!!

by far, power amp is the best mainly coz it has great equalizer setup, but if sync matters more, then double twist is a good option two.
me, i use power amd in tandem with the double twist desktop software. no air sync, but still works great.

mort player, hands down. not only does it have a good user interface but is heavily customizable and doesn't rely on android to create a file list. for me it was being able to do an A - Z folder list to sort my music bypassing sorting like "genre" and "year".

Best Combo for free music: Transdroid linked to uTorrent. Download the music to a specific media folder on your computer from your phone. Then have Subsonic set up on your PC as well as your phone as a music server. That's what works for me.

use tune wiki.
as for your songs on zune just find the path where its downloaded. btw if you want to access your zune libray via my computer, use "Show hidden folders" option.

If you already have a great music collection subsonic is hands down a must have on any android device. I can get any of my 63 gigs of music anywhere in the world. You can either stream it or download songs/albums to your phone. As far as music player I just use stock cm6 (music mod) with dsp settings handling the equalizer. Gets the jib done for me. Doubletwist now has wifi sync as well as winamp. Just play with a bunch of them and decide which works for you

Poweramp is definitely NOT the best.
PlayerPro is much much much better

In my opinion, Winamp is teh best. But @ best this is subjective.
Give Winamp, Poweramp, Mort, 3^2 (Cubed) player a try.
These are the "big" music players that I know of.

gingerbread apparently has a pretty sweet music function that allows you to sync with your home pc's music library. Sounds pretty sweet but there's a ton of free music apps out there on the market (most likely legal issues involved) but I just google an mp3 when I want one.
Anyone remember imusic tao before it disappeared? That thing was killer. Sadly I paid for it and it was removed about a month later.

If what your looking for is a subscription music service that you can download to the phone is would try rhapsody. I think it's like 9.99 a month and you can dl any track they have or stream as well. I've had the service for years and I love it.

Didn't it just get renamed to "GTunes Music"? That's the app I use currently and it looks exactly like imusic used to.

I use winamp as well. I have an iTouch for my music though, I just keep what I use for ringtones on my phone. Happy hunting.

Of the market.. its between Winamp or power amp.. I like power amp better because of the equalizer.. but now that I'm running sense on my g2.. I like the stock music player.. so I uninstalled the both I mentioned and I'm using the HTC desire z stock music player really nice...

Music player

Hi guys,
First time poster here. Great place to share the love of this fabulous phone.
I need some suggestions on a music player. I was using Winamp Pro on my GN as i also use this app as my music player on my laptop.
I need a music app to tied me over until Winamp is patched for JB
Any ideas?
Stock GN with 4.1.1
Thanks guys.

There are tons of threads about this if you do a search.
I use Google Music. It gives me access to all of my music on my laptop, GNex, and, starting in two days, my Nexus 7. This is great because only about 40% of my music is stored on this laptop, and the other 60% was lost when I reformatted the hard drive on my last laptop and moved to a phone without an SD slot. The Google Music app works great, and even though the widget is kind of crappy, I've found that all music players have crappy widgets.

try Cloud Skipper its a great alternative. Completely free, includes a built-in equalizer, and has a nice and simple widget
