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.

Miui music player came out in an apk.. just read it on somesite.. its pretty good. I use that usually (seeing as in running miui rom) but fc lately made me go back to winamp.

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...

Hi there,
I'm really new to android so please bear with me...
I have been using the Music app on my new nexus as a general music player for my android. I just noticed an mp3 on there that I didn't want so I held my finger on it and hit delete.
The message that came up said that the only version that would be deleted would be the "side-loaded" version, and the automatic upload to google music would remain.
Now from what I gather google music isn't open to the UK anyway, but I don't wanna use it when it's out, and I certainly don't want an auto upload using up data, but I can't see a setting to turn it off.
Is there one? Or do I need to download winamp or something else to use as my native music player to stop it?
Thanks for any help. It's massively appreciated.
As someone outside of the U.S. I noticed that too however, I connected to Google Music (via tunnel bear) but didn't see any tracks uploaded or listed.

maybe its just a standard warning message in the app for when you delete a track?
You're probably right. I don't think they'd have done a UK only version of music just to adjust that message.
Once google music is open in the UK though (which I assume it will be at some point) all my music is going to start uploading, which is pretty annoying.
I'm in Australia and have been using the music app for a few months now. As far as I know, it does not upload music stored on the phone. There is a program that you can download from the google music website which will allow you to upload your music collection or only specific songs from your computer to the cloud. You can then access the uploaded music files from the app on your phone.

I am on the hunt for the best music playing app. I currently use Google Music, as it is one of the best I have used to date. My problem is with the new limitation on devices I am eventually no longer going to be able to use it because I flash new roms all the time.
I don't want to store all my music on my SD because it is not exactly the most efficient way for me. I want to be able to stream my library just like the way Google Music does it, but I can't find anything that works as nice.
I'm sure I will not be the only one that will encounter this problem with the stupid limitation thing.
Any ideas???
I thought Google had fixed that a couple weeks ago? Have you tried checking on the Google Music webpage on your computer?

Yea, Google responded pretty quickly to that uproar

I'm all for Google Music because of the cloud integration. I still find it amazing that I walk around with my 15,000 songs and 100+ playlists in my pocket.
I believe the stock audio player for CM9, Apollo, will also be a market app if I'm not mistaken. Anything from those guys is definitely worth checking out
thanks. I didn't know they fixed it. I cleaned up my device list now. Let's just hope that they don't put a limit on this in the future.
I am currently using google music player.does anyone know where does it saves the playlist. I want to make a backup of that.
I am thinking of buying poweramp. Does it consumes more battery than other music players??

PowerAMP is the best player you'll find for android. Go ahead with your purchase.

Does it drain more battery thats my question. And does anyone knows wherevdoes google music player stores the playlist?
I don't believe PA uses more battery than Gmusic, but it's possible, although I haven't noticed a difference. I am extremely happy with PA, it sounds better than most other players, and is extremely customizable.

I searched for many hours on how to back up playlist you made on your phone and its possible but rather difficult.
Use an app called playlist backup to save new playlist but you can't retrieve the one you made on google play music..at least to my knowledge
Does anyone know how to save and restore playlist on Play Music spp. I know there are other music players out there but i like play music. I tried with titanium backup and it shows the name of the playlist but no content. I am a flashaholic so rebuilding all six playlists with a thousand plus music files becomes tedious.
