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.

Think of how awesome this would be...
I have a 55 inch Samsung LED television. SmartTV enabled with AllShare and all that fun stuff. So here is my question...
I want to use my Epic to control my tv. And if it's not possible in the whole sense...how about just for the keyboard function. I'm trying to avoid buying a keyboard so I figure if my phone could serve that function...not only will it be so useful but sooooooo cool!!!
Basically rather than using the remote it came with to type on the Internet or chat or Facebook....I would use my phone to type. Can AllShare be used for any of this? Or does anyone know if this is possible?
I actually think I may have just found my answer in the market....
If anyone has a similar question..."samsung remote" in the market will accomplish all of these requests!!
I already use my epic to control my directv

Its on the directtv website. It allows me to control my dvr. (i can tell me dvr to record anything even if I'm not home). I can purchase movies from ppv and cineplus.

Oh...I can do that. I'm speaking more of changing channels, volume, using my keyboard in place of my remote, etc. The Samsung Remote app does this. Setting my dvr, ppv and cineplus I can do using the directv app as well.

I actually think there is. My brother in law was telling me about an Android App he found which would do all of this. I think he heard it from someone else though, as he didn't have it all hooked up yet, but I do believe he said it was somewhere in the $20 range for the app itself.
If you could use your smartphone as a remote for all that fun stuff...that would be..well..yeah, it's coming, EPIC.
Can you ask your brother in law what is the name of that app.

I did and he mentioned something called "pocketblu" but it only works via bluetooth. Since our phones don't have infrared, they won't work on standard TVs for the most part. He did mention AllShare but didn't get into the details of it.
I know he's looked into this stuff quite a bit, but the above information was through just a few texts. The next time we're together (probably Easter weekend) I'll be sure to have a better discussion with him.
Does the watchON remote work with Xbox 360?
I have me TV, BluRay, and AV receiver set up just fine with the watchON universal remote, but I can seem to fina way to get it to talk to my Xbox 360. Does anybody know what the trick is to get this to work. I basically just want to have the ability to turn on my Xbox and turn it off. Anything past that isn't required for me.
Thanks.

Ya. I was hoping somebody might have found an IR code that would work to simply power on the Xbox 360, since pretty much every other universal remote on the planet can do that and more. Too bad.

should work all the time, mine does. Make sure you are pointing it at the xbox, remember it is IR, so it communicates through light.

If you go to settings you can add a device to the room and when you select media player the is an option for Microsoft which will let the app control the Xbox.

Hmm, so the options on the remote for the Xbox are a bit lacking. Basically just power and navigation (see attached), with no option for numbers or changing channels in Windows Media Center. It also still uses the "TV remote" when using the TV guide. I use a cable card and media center but looks like the app doesn't support that setup. Still nice being able to turn the Xbox on.
Also if you have the Xbox glass app you can do things like open netflix, xfinity, or HBO go. They don't really use the glass app much, but you can do some scrubbing of video and the "controller" has a few more buttons like the Xbox home button. See attached screen shots for more details.
This icon popped up in my youtube app out of nowhere in the last few days. It also dims the vid. I have no idea what it is or where it came from and it’s driving me nut. Please help.
That is the icon to enable casting via Chromecast.
Silly question but I don't have chromcast so how do I get rid of this icon?
You possibly have Google TV then? It would only show up if you have chromecast or Google TV

I have the same same problem and don't know how to get ridbof it.
Are you on an unsecured network? On the same network with a ps3 or blu ray player with Youtube streaming? I get that icon when I have Youtube opened on my Note 2 and open the Youtube app on my ps3.
There must be a way to dismiss that icon, right? I mean even if you do have Chromcast, it doesn't mean you necessarily want to cast everything.
Maybe the Chromecast section of the forums can help.
I have a Samsung Smart TV that I have linked to my Nexus 7 youtube for Optional transmission to the TV.
But recently, YouTube has started showing this icon permanently when viewing youtube videos on my Nexus, slap bang in the middle the screen.
Im surprised that arent a huge number of people reporting this problem at this forum. Any solution would be appreciated.

On my Note II this is what I did to turn it off.
Settings-->More Settings--->Allshare Cast and make sure it's off.
Funny thing, that none of you even considered that it's a freaking bug in youtube!
Uninstall update in play store and it's fixed.

Same problem here, I'm running CM nigthlies, but I found this post --> productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/youtube/91-3-Nh3BHM[/url][1-25-true] --> which relates the problem to connected bluetooth headsets.
Disconecting my bluetooth headset worked for me, but it didn't for others.
I hope this helps and that the bug gets solved, I just don't want to have to unplug my headset to watch a video....
Yes, I do use a bluetooth headset when I see the problem.

Thanks a bunch!!! Been fighting this stupid symbol for weeks and never once thought it was a bug or issue with youtube. Just assumed my Note II had a problem or my bluetooth or wifi or anything else besides what it really was....youtube! Uninstalled the updates and symbol was magically *poof* gone! I can no longer watch the video while continuing to do something else but a small price to pay until youtube fixes that issue.
Youtube play updates claims this has been fixed now. I have not tested it yet.
