I'm using Listen by Google right now for my podcasts but there are a few I can't seem to find that I want to listen to. They seem to be only available through itunes. I hate itunes and do not want to install that crap on my computer. Is there another app that will stream podcasts that is better than Listen?
Can't you just manually add the stream in Google Reader and add the 'Listen' label?
Well the one I really want to listen to is Tiesto's Club Life, its a weekly trance podcast. I've only seen it through iTunes and I can seem to find a way to add it to Google reader.

just manually add that url to listen.
Manually adding is only way to fly.
I just checked Stitcher and they have Tiesto's Club Life on there. Great program, I've used it for a few months with no real issues.
Cool thanks guys I'll see what I can figure out.
Edit: that link worked, thanks a lot. Now I can stream it while at work.

We7 does one but it expires after a period of time, you could try last.fm if you don't mind just selecting an artist and getting random songs from them, it works really well!
As I remembered there was a free version of Grooveshark.
looks like grooveshark is subscription now
I'm pretty certain I heard talk recently of Last.fm only being available on mobile devices for premium subscribers. Not sure if this is something they've implemented yet.
yeh not getting last.fm working either
i found a prog called tinyshark which is supposed to work with grooveshark (apparently subscription free) but it wont stream...need adobe flash
Soundcloud has some artists on won't be 100 percent though

The new We7 app looks like your best bet. You can't select specific songs like you can with Spotify but you can search for artists and genres and listen to random songs. It also allows offline listening now which is pretty sweet, and best of all it's totally free! There is also a premium version which lets you search for individual songs/albums etc.
Check out the market link below.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.we7.player&feature=search_result
i use music on line lite from the market found it to be really good just type in title artist or album and it will do a search and just press play on which song you want to play
There's one included with the phone. It's called "FM Radio". Guaranteed free of charge . Seriously speaking, the quality is OK as long as you are in a city or close enough to a broadcast tower. Not too much to choose from, but better than nothing.
i use "QueueTube" it streams only audio from YouTube. and you can add/remove songs (YT audio) to/from playlist just by long-press the song tittle... and since youtube has everything this app became my no.1 song streaming app.
hope i helped!
I don't listen to them, but someone I consider important to keep happy wants a good suggestion. I'm relying on you guys. This would also bring this person to Android, benefit.
Go.
Edit, it's my wifes boss. Re read my post and it sounded odd.
Google listen and beyond pod

Dogcatcher is the best!

Definitely Google Listen.
DoggCatcher for me. Does video/audio casts and has a vast database for adding based on themes or genres.
I used Google Listen for sometime. I liked it but the app needs more work. Podcasts are not as organized as they should be or as they are in ipod etc. Also, podcasts are updated rather infrequently. I am going to try out some of the other suggestions made in this thread and see which one is better.
Edit: Oh and try 'Stitcher'. Its a sort of podcast radio which streams audio. Its amazingly organized and you can find almost anything on it. But it streams vs. Google Listen which downloads on your device so you can listen to it later in places where you dont get signals.
So what are my options for syncing music to my evo3d?
I know I can just mount USB and drag and drop files but I was hoping for something a bit more automated. I am especially interested in having playlists I make on the desktop available on the phone.

If you use itunes, easy phone tunes or google music
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
google music or amazon cloud sync or even zumocast
I use doubleTwist with the AirSync plug-in, it wirelessly syncs selected iTunes playlists to my phone.
Thanks for the suggestions but most seem to either involve iTunes or is some sort of streaming service.
I just bought a 32GB card specifically so I could carry my music on my phone, it's my primary portable music device. I don't have the best signal where I live so streaming is sort of out of the question for me because just as I get into the song, it will cut off and just ruin it lol
I am thinking of using SyncToy to sync the music folder on my desktop to my phone.
I could also do Spotify but I think it converts songs to 160kbps before syncing them and the songs aren't available to other music players because of the way it stores it.
No one has replicated on android what happens on the iPhone?

Hi, is there any app I can use to listen to my audiobooks which would let me pause and resume the progress throughout the book?
The books I have are simple mp3's but the default app doen't properly save where you left off?
It is for a Samsung Galaxy S II
Thanks

I listen to audio books constantly and I found that Winamp seems to work best for me.... even if my phone reboots winamp picks right up where it left off. It doesn't let you "bookmark" multiple 'books' so you can't jump from one place in one 'book' to another place in another 'book' but it far exceeds the default app. All of my audio books are mp3's and when I have a single large mp3 file, Winamp's resume capability saves a lot of time and effort to scan forward to find your place.
There is an audiobook specific player on the market but it failed to play the audio for me and I found my way back to Winamp and haven't left since. And you can't beat the price! Free
Good Luck!
Cool. Ill have a look and test it out. But yea as far as i know the books are just standard mp3s
What features would you like to see added/removed, and are you happy with it compared to the stock music app, or how do you feel it stacks up against another music app.
*This is a general topic, and I'm just curious to see the community's response.*
I don't use it. It doesn't have features I need.
Namely, ability to keep the screen from sleeping, and the ability to limit where it looks for music at.
i like gmusic. I dont use it daily (I use slacker daily) but gmusic works great when I do need it. Its far more reliable than when it first came out, so they're definitely making progress.
My only complaint is when I flash a new rom, it registers my phone as a new device so it adds it to gmusic (which is great) but google limits it to 8 devices. So occasionally I need to go into gmusic website and delete my old devices, which is all the same phone. Its not really a complaint for google but i wish there was a way for it to detect that its the same device/IMEI
I personally love google music I use it daily. I have a computer for school and don't want to cramp it up with music so I can stream everything. Also I use my phone in my truck for music and it is nice to have access to all my music when I need it.
Absolutely love it. I have my entire collection stored. My main problem lies when I'm doing file management and the media scanner starts while I'm playing music. Google Music stops streaming completely and I have to manually restart it. I turned caching off, so that the song being played is solely dependent on the connection, but it still does it. I suppose it stops to look for new songs that might have been added. I'd like it to at least resume playback when scanning stops.
The other thing is with optimization I guess. In my last billing cycle, I got throttled and streaming was impossible (as expected). However, Pandora was still able to stream entire songs, for long sessions without stutter (it just took longer between songs). I'm curious if it'd be possible for them to improve performance on slow networks, so that it's on par with Pandora.

General is something related directly to the phone or an app that comes stock with the phone. GoogleMusic does not fit that description since it has to be installed by the user and not everyone uses it. This should have been in Themes and Apps. Just sayin'.
I wish it would sync with a folder on my phone with all my music, so that when it tries to play a song, it checks that folder on my phone first before downloading the song with a weird name in another random folder. That way, whenever I add a song on my computer to the Google Music Folder, it adds to my phone as well when I try to play it, keeping my music in sync.

That'd be boss. Maybe in a future update?
I love google music.
Especially after switching from iTunes and my iPhone 4. I really hated iTunes haha
i like it on my zoom and Google TV. But I wish it would sync playlist too. A good playlist takes time and it wouldn't be nice to listen to them on phone, tablet and TV. The main thing that make be go back to the Samsung music player is that while connected to my Bluetooth stereo it shows track info on the stereo but the Google music doesn't. Not a big thing, but enough to keep me using the samsung player. If those two were fixed it would be a perfect player.

I too converted, and couldn't be happier.
Absolutely love Google music. No complaints here, it works great. I'm really happy that Google came out with this app, I show everyone with an Android phone.
im using PowerAmp i think its better than gMusic
Not bad... Steaming better but still slower than other streaming apps.
My biggest complaint is music purchased can only be played in gmusic and can't be downloaded to phone or computer. Frustrating when I paid for something. if they keep prices at $4.99 album $.49 song I might get over it... Doubtful that will last.
Saw app in market that claims to make music portable though.

Just click on the song you purchased and click download. It will let you download it at 320k and no drm. Also the google music manager has an option to auto download any purchased songs to your pc automatically.

I would really like to be able to download my music that was uploaded to google music. I had everything in itunes also, and one day after it was all uploaded itunes moved everything without me knowing it and that file got deleted on accident. Of course i didn't care at the time because nothing should have been there. Thanks itunes.

I wish there was a way to manage the songs on the server from the phone. I sent all my music to the server and now run across songs (when in shuffle) that I no longer want. Would like to delete the song off the server from my phone.
