I use Beyondpod and I usually listen to Phil Hendrie. Its a comedy talk show about a guy changing up his voice and creating fictional characters. Then you have people calling in not knowing that its him.
I use Google Listen and love the npr and techtv releases.
Fantasy Focus on ESPN
I used my phone for music and podcasts more than I use it as phone. So my list would could about 20 long, but if I limit it to two.
WTF Podcast
The Skeptics Guide to the Universe
Buzz Out Loud is my favorite daily tech podcast. Listen to a few episodes and you may find you love it.
Other than that I listen to:
Radiolab
This American Life
The Skeptic's Guide to the Universe (Also very good if you like science)
The atheist experience podcast (Usually just meh, but worth it for when it gets really good).

Does anyone know any music app that has a true random songs playback?
I'm hearing the same songs in my phone over & over lol It's like it randomizes the songs but repeats songs before going through all the songs in my playlist.
I don't know if its only on the media room app from espresso. Do all the stock players do this?
The "Stock Vanilla" Android player does the same thing, as does the player on regular Sense. The only good randomizing I've seen is in CyanogenMod - you have to select Party mix (something having to do with party, whatever the verbage is) and you get a good randomization.
Hmm... the more reason why we need cm on our phones
May try Lithium (in the market)...It has an option to play all songs (or those you specify by a playlist) and it does a good job at playing random without too much repetition.
Keep in mind though that I do not have but maybe 30-40 mp3's on my phone...I use slacker an have several ststions cached which is the best thing since sliced bread IMO.
I used to use pandora exclusively...until they started playing a ton of commercials and only playing half songs most of the time.
Cheers
Are there any other apps out there like Spotify (i cant afford the subscription each month)

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.

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!
Just wanted to share my experience with Ambling Book Player Pro.
For the longest time now I've been using PowerAmp. It's wonderful, it is by far the best music player available. Impressive EQ support, folder and playlist support, and a VERY clean and slick UI. Highly recommend it. That being said, when listening to an audiobook I always had to remember my place if I wanted to listen to music or say, flash a ROM 3 or 10 times a day. It got relatively annoying, so I went searching for an alternative. Everything I found was ok, but nothing was great.
I finally decided to give Ambling Book Player Pro a shot (since a lot of the books I listen to are .m4a and .mp3, and you need pro to load files from your SD card). It's wonderful. Support for .mp3, .ogg, .mp4, .wav, .wma*, .3gp, and .m4a. You can create as many bookmarks you want for each book and they save to the sdcard so you never lose your place. It has options for using the button on a headset as well, including play/pause and set bookmark. Another problem I have is that I listen to books all the time while doing other things and often find myself missing a section of the book, trying to skip back to hear what I missed was frustrating. The app has forward and back at 15 and 60 second intervals, which made tracing my steps very easy. It's not the prettiest interface, but it's so incredibly functional that I don't even care. Now I have PowerAmp for my music and ABPP for my audiobooks. If you find yourself in a situation at all like my own, give it a shot. Music and Audiobooks are, for me, one of my favorite things about smartphones.
Does it have speed control? I really utilize the ability of Astro Player to speed up audio books, it's nice because it doesn't increase the pitch (chipmunk), just the speed. I download with Audiobooks by Traveling Classics and listen to them with Astro Player. The combo is perfect I've found.
No it doesn't.
Not my cup of tea, it's nice to be forced to listen at a slow pace where I can really take my time imagining what I'm reading. Nonetheless it's a feature it lacks that you enjoy.
I use Audbilbe and their own player obviously. I love their app. I, however, like getting stuff for free so where do you go to find your audiobooks? If you are not allowed to post it (i don't know the specific rules for those things here) just send me a pm, thanks guys. I'll let you know after you hook me up how I feel about the Penguins!
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

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.
I use my Galaxy Note as my daily music player. As a father of two young children, I have to be selective of what tunes I play when they are around.
It seems that many new albums now include some tracks that have swearing in.
I'm not sure if it is even a feasible suggestion, but my thinking was that it would be great if there was an app, or music player that somehow censored any swear words. With the ability to get song lyrics already, and with the vastly improving voice recognition on our devices these days we must be getting closer to having something like this.
I for one would certainly pay for such an app, and expect that many other parents out there would find this useful.
Does anyone have any thoughts? Could it be possible?
