Subsonic

I am not sure if anybody is aware of this app but IMO it is one of the best apps out there and takes advantage of the "4G" speeds of the G2. Stream your entire music collection to your phone (you can also download it directly for offline listening) or to any computer you want. I have been using this since I got my G2 and it is a very very cool app.

Thanks for the post...now that I can stream my entire iTunes library the G2 experience just got a whole lot better.

Ill try it out

I like it...it's much slicker than SkyTunes, in my opinion. It also doesn't have the "stuttering when not in the app" problem that SkyTunes does (as I imagine the Android app is native).

Skytunes has potential as adobe air apps mature. Especially when air goes out on iphone (advantage of air, write once for many platforms).
If anyone has problems make sure you read the website. Most problems come from port forwarding.
I always wanted a huge microsd card. My current size of my mp3 collection is roughly 55gbs and dreamed of the day that I could carry all my music. Never have to worry about that again.
And with google getting into doing this very thing this app/service does... watch out.

I don't mean to diss SkyTunes too much, but it still feels really unfinished. I had no problems forwarding the port myself (something that I know Subsonic can do for you with uPnP, though), and I read that the update may help with the audio stuttering. That's definite progress, but Subsonic feels much more finished already.

Do any of you know what I have to do to stream music from my comp over 3g? I can stream over my wifi but on regular cell data it just trys to connect then fails.

You are going to have to look at your router settings and forward the port to your computer most likely.

I've been using this for quite some time, I tweaked the settings to even allow me to stream movies from my server as well.

I uninstalled the app because though I entered the server name, I could not get info on what username/password to use.

Share Your Music, What's Your Station?

I have a paid slacker radio subscription. I couldn't be happier with it. Caching is awesome. Thought I'd make a thread sharing my custom station. It's awesome if you like bands like 3 doors down, Creed, Default, Shinedown, Seether, Puddle of mud, Chevelle, and Breaking Benjamin.
Here's the link http://slacker.com/r/00VYn
I like all kinds of music. Pandora or Slacker. What's Yours?

I also have a paid slacker account, my fav is Rise Against Radio...

Also, what is this caching you speak of? I've seen it on the app, but never used it since I dunno what it does...
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App

You download hours worth of music from any station of your choose for offline listening. When offline listening you don't need a data connection and you save tons on battery because you're not pushing anything through your data connections because the music has been downloaded. If you have a paid account you can cache 25 station. Be warned it takes a long time to cache stations, so only do it when you go to bed. Just leave it downloading, I usually only do 3-5 stations. I also found it helpful to go into settings and not allow the device to update by itself when it hits a wifi connection.
Another thing is go to menu>setting>wireless & networks>wi-fi setting>menu>advance>wifi-sleep police>never>and then the home button. This now makes so your wifi connection doesn't cut off when the screen is off. You're caching doesn't get interrupted when the screen is off.
It's an awesome feature. Try it.

OP question on the caching. How many songs does it cache? Also, how long does it stay on your phone (expire?). Sounds very interesting and I would lean towards getting it if it works out how I think it does.

I've already done the wifi sleep thing, I hated that it would shut off...
Thatnks for the info on the caching, I never noticed it in the menu options...I mostly use slacker at work so this will be very useful.

I dont know for sure ive read 100 songs per station. You get to cache 25 stations. Only 4.99 a month. I've only cached 1 set of stations on my g2 music device which is not my phone and I've never had to change the songs out again so I'm pretty sure it saves 100 songs per station. You get it for free 14 day if you wanna test it out.

Actually its only 3.99 a month...atleast that's what I get charged.

I tried slacker(paid) twice on my nexus one. The first time, was for a long trip down a truck route(less traffic and construction) to georgia. The second time was for a trip down to visit my wife's friend in myrtle beach.
First time: It worked well. Caching worked great. It never stopped playing the whole time. 14+ hours and it didn't stop.
Second time: It didn't work right. It wouldn't load songs. It kept skipping ahead on it's own. Caching didn't seem to work.
Even though it worked well the first time, I found that it's selections weren't nearly as accurate as pandora. I'd pick music by lil wayne, and a couple songs in it would start playing lady gaga and mariah carrey. Nothing against the two artists, but the genres don't exactly mix. In my opinion, if pandora were to incorporate caching(they've said they will not), it would be the perfect app.
I'm going to revisit slacker on my g2 and hopefully get some new results.

Make sure when your start the caching of stations your phones signal is strong and uninterrupted. Calls don't affect the WiFi signal. That may be causing it to freeze or skip. When making custom station slacker gives you a very long list of artist / bands for you to determine which to play and which not to play You also have the option to ban artist from your station... no more lady gaga.

lol no one uses last.fm anymore?

I can't get cache stations to work anymore, not sure if it was the recent Slacker app update or the G2 OTA Update. Anyone else having problems? I tried uninstalling and reinstall, but no help! I'm pissed, it was working great!

Try uninstalling the app then go into your sdcard and delete the slacker folder. Then reboot your device and do a clean install of the app, not a backed up version. It should work. Try it and let us know.

I did everything you suggested twice but still no Cache play. Finally I reinstalled a 3rd time and then I cached & refreshed 1 station over the mobile network instead of over WiFi. Right now everything seems to be working okay. I'm gonna slowly add more stations and see what happens. I'll keep you informed.

Gonna try Slacker again...
I used to use it on my MT3G and it used to stall a lot...I then started using Pandora and that worked great until recently (maybe past 4-5 months) it contantly skips songs when playing from my phone.
My music is quite diverse
Station 1: Tool, STP, Alice in Chains, Breaking Benjamin, Chevelle, Linkin Park, etc...
Station 2: Dropkick Murpheys, Flogging Molly, Enter the Hagis, Young Dubliners, The Cranberries, etc...
Station 3: Hank Williams Sr, Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Patsy Cline, Willy Nelson, Elvis, etc...
Station 4: Lifehouse, Kutless, Thousand Foot Krutch, Haste the Day, Red, etc...
I will post my stations later this evening when I get home

[Q] [app] App to record streaming audio?

So I'm looking for an app that will record streaming audio I'm playing on my phone, right from my phone. I know there are things out there for PCs that will record whatever is on the sound card, which is awesome, but I'm looking to do it from my phone as well. Anyone know of anything out there like this?

But this isn't going to be from radio stations, this will be like podcasts of sorts. Think it'll still work?

So, if I may ask, what are you trying to record? Do you want something that will record regardless of what app you are listening to like Wunderradio, IHeart,etc? If something like that exists, I want it too.

Basically buying talk CDs online and I can stream them right there from the site by hitting the Play button. It will open up a player (I'm doing this from the web, I use Miren browser) and start playing. It's great, so long as I have an active internet connection, but I'm hoping I can have it save the stream as an mp3 file.
I know there are apps for PCs which will record whatever is going through the sound card, which is perfect for this, but I wasn't sure if that is an option with the phone.
If not, no big deal, I can do it on my PC when I get home, but would be nice to be able to do it from either.

Does anyone know where the recorded audio gets stored on the mobile device? I would like to be able access it outside of the app.
Thanks

Any way to send files via WiFi Direct on cm10 like on Touchwiz??

I honestly think this is a great feature on the stock ROM. I could send app apk's to a buddy of mine and everything. Even HD movies.
So I'm only left to wonder, is this a feature of S Beam? Even though I didn't touch the phones, we just paired via WiFi Direct.
However he does have a S3 as well.

There are a few apps in the play store that do essentially the same thing. Bump being one I've used since my iPhone days.
But I have to admit, sbeam and the integration in the TW interface is much more user friendly. Would be nice to see something of the sort in CM10 but I wouldn't count on it

Bluetooth or try something called xlink in playstore. But with xlink you need to be on same wifi but its really fast.

This should work stock if you are on CM9/CM10. Google added Android Beam in ICS. It uses NFC to pair and transmit files, contacts and whatever.
The video here shows how to make sure it is turned on and how it works.

Yea, but the one he is talking about is the S3's ability to pair with another S3 through WiFi, not NFC, to share files.

I see... Jelly Bean uses NFC to set up a bluetooth connection which is faster but not as fast as Wifi...

Google added support for wifi direct in ics. Sadly it is just sdk. It took samsung to make an app. Even more sad is that in play store nobody took up the mantle and develop a third party app using that sdk.
Tried sending files with nfc with galaxy Nexus and my sgs3 and even that does not work properly, well it does send bookmarks, contacts and opens apps or opens play store to download that app, but it does not send actual files.
The only way is manually sending via bluetooth, but that's way too slow.
Also note that even with Samsung, the current file size limit for wifi direct is about 1 gigabyte.

Not sure about the movies but it repeatedly gets stuck sending my titanium backup (zipped to 1.5gb), the other phone never starts receiving, while it sends and receives smaller than 1gb zip files no problem.
This is between i747m and i9300 models.

Send files over WIFI
What I do is:
on Phone 1 make a wireless hotspot (tethering)
connect phone 2 to this hot spot.
use ES File explorer (free) to create a ftp server on phone 1 (in the settings)
Use ES File explorer on phone 2 to log into phone 1 by putting in the settings on your notification bar on phone 1 (the one that says FTP server is running)
then you can see all your files in phone 1, just copy what you want over or even stream a movie from your phone to your tablet...
then benefit to doing it this way is you can stream from another phone and you can also access files from a PC using filezilla(free)

[Q] Play Music All Access not working?

Are there any solutions for the problems the LGOG has with Play Music All Access?
As-is, songs stop playing about 1/2 to 3/4 of the way through, with the error "Music temporarily unavailable. Couldn't play the stream you requested."
This happens regardless of network connection... It was fixed when I tried out CM10, but it had so many other stability problems that it wasn't worth keeping as a daily ROM.
Apparently a lot of LGOG users have this problem, should I just cancel and go with Spotify? I really like All Access, but if there's no solution for the errors I guess there's no option.

I really liked the service, but couldn't stand the errors anymore. I canceled and went with spotify.

The only solution I found was to flash an aosp or aokp rom. Everything else I tried and even stock based roms I errored out.
I was thinking about going back to spotify but I like Google music so much better.

Got the new version (v5.2.1224L) this morning. At first I thought it might be working but after a couple of songs, it resumed this annoying behavior.
