Anyone knows how to hack the Grooveshark mobile app into thinking my account is subscribed to Grooveshark anywhere? Grooveshark is like the best app to stream free music, create playlists etc etc on the clouds.
Why don't you guys share your methods of discovering music on the go?
In other words, what's a good way to discover music, check out artistes, browse albums and enjoy songs on the go with an android in hand?
buuuuuuuuuumpp....??
In other words, do you guys know any good method for stealing?
No hack. If you like, pay for it. $30 for a year is nothing compared with what you get from grooveshark.
BUT, grooveshark isn't good at all at discovering music. I don't like radio function in Grooveshark. The best app for it is Pandora. And it's free.
Use TinyShark, its not nearly as polished and doesn't work quite as well but it gets the job done. https://market.android.com/details?id=com.exigo.tiny&feature=search_result

Nope, I don't see that as stealing.... It just works like grooveshark on a desktop browser. You get what you want to listen only online, you don't own the mp3 or anything. Sadly, the mobile version of grooveshark doesn't give its users these privileges...

Oh nice!! I think I'll make do with this first until I find myself a better option.
Opening grooveshark in dolphin HD browser with desktop user agent option seems to work for me too... But yeah, the page is too big for easy viewing on a phone's screen...
go to html5.grooveshark.com. sorry for bumping an old thread
dude.. GS Anywhere costs $5 a month... Get over it and pay those devs. They kick ass and Grooveshark is the best program on the interwebs. So drink one less beer a month and have as much music as you could ever possibly handle.
GS radio is kinda lame, admittedly so.. However you can upload new music to GS and it automatically puts it in your music. So that's pretty damn cool. If you can't find it on GS then just put it there. I do this all the time with new music I find shortly after it is released.

Can't seem to get my last.fm to play on my streak. I'm up on the official 2.2 froyo and it just isn't playing. It acts like it is going to and just sits there. Of the 70 or so times that I've tried it I've gotten one song to play part of the way through just once.
Anyone know what's going on with this?
Thanks a lot
Don't bother with last.fm they went to a subscription only service unless you're on a windows phone. Ditch them, give them a 1 star rating, leave a bad comment, and uninstall.

Use DoubleTwist from the market, it works perfect with last.fm

See, I downloaded it and set it as my default music player and last.fm is still not functioning. I'm starting to wonder if I'm actually setting the default player properly.
for the other comment, I actually pay for the subscription so it really isn't about that. Say what you will but I love last.fm much more than pandora and, quite frankly, the subscription is so cheap i could really care less about paying for it. My feeling is if you like something support it.
bump.
Still having this issue. When I open the Last.fm app it just sits there saying "tuning to station." It will act like it is playing but the progress bar stays blank as well as the time. However, the artist picture does show up and it will change songs as if it were actually playing.
Well, the plot thickens. I finally got it to play two songs today but that was about it and then it went back to being silent. I'm guessing that there must be something up with the app itself.
Hi people!! what music player do you usually use?? I used to use 3 from filipe abrantes, but since I discovered power amp Im fascinated!!! I love this music player... full of options, settings, incredible equalizer with different presets which detects if you connect or not headphones to automatically use the correct preset, different views(folder,artis,album...), beautiful widgets with transparent mode... seriously!! give it a try!! and also a good player, like spotify is biit!! from market both!! the difference is biit is free but you cant look for an especific song, instead, you look for an artist and his music and similar music will be played... A wonderful way to know new singers similar to our likes!!
try both!! I hope you like as much as me!!
remember!! in market look for "power amp" and "biit"
Gee, thanks, i never knew about it.
I mean, who even sees the "top paid" app list in the android market, right?

Yep lol you're right but it's for that i wanted to share one costing money and other one free but i find both of them just incredible! And power amp worths it.what i don't know is if biit will be available in more languages than Spain but it worths too if u can manage with the language they run also very well too with speakers i have with Bluetooth!
Can you guys recommend me one (or some) of the top media players for music? I've read many reviews but many players seem to be bloated with unnecessary things like online music/radio, syncing, lyrics, and other things that I don't personally need. All I'm interested in is something that presents a very nice UI, is easy to use, can create a now playing list (unlike Ipods..) and can enhance stock sound quality.
From reading, I think my best bet so far is Poweramp but I was just wondering if there were any good free ones out there or others I might want to consider.
Thanks!
edit: Also, to go along with this, I'm interested in what I can use to transfer/sync music from my computer to my phone. With wp7 Zune made it very easy to drap and sync, see what was already sync'd, etc.
If you had a Zune, you might like Ubermusic

I just downloaded the trial and am testing it out now. Yeah, its really good.comparing it with the stock player on my wp7...there's no comparison.seriously impressed. I don't have an sd card or case yet so for now I'm sticking with my windows phone for music at the gym but I will almost definitely buy this app as soon as I do get my full library up on here.
There's no way to use the zune software to communicate with my phone to sync is there? For now I used windows media player to sync but am wondering if there are better options...

I use double twist. Has a nice UI and works well enough for me.
I also just downloaded N7 which is getting fantastic reviews. I only have one album on my phone so kind of hard to really see how it works. Reviews are stating it's better than power amp. So far I like power amp better... anyone try both?
I have both and poweramp wins hands down
Does stock music app already have the equalizer there in settings?
I, in general, hate to use any third party apps that do almost the same as stock unless i removed stock app.

Poweramp is a great app. I tried them all and lucked up Poweramp when it was first released. It is well worth the price. The development has been spot on with ongoing support and regular updates..I I have used it across multiple rooms Samsung stock captivate, cm7, cm9, gnotes gingerbread and have never once noticed a glitch or incompatibility of any kind. The sound reproduction is excellent. I use it for audiobooks and to play podcasts downloaded with dogpile... The ui is intuitive, and still offers tons of tweaks and optimizations... Then there is the fact that the ui, as anything well designed tends to be, is down right elegant and a pleasure to use. Seriously, you will not regret the purchase.

I like Rocket Player because it works well with isyncr and isyncr wifi. It's free in the basic version and $2 for the unlocker which has more features.
Rocket Player is new but it promises to give Power Amp some competition.
Power Amp is no doubt the best but I don't need all of its features.
PowerAmp might be better than it used to be, but I think Player Pro is the best one on the market right now. It looks great, it's not some custom crazy interface (hello PowerAmp, even though it's a little better in 2.x), easy on battery, great widgets, lots of updates, the browsers are great looking and easily configurable, etc..
player pro
i use player pro it does the same a poweramp . excellent quality eq
I have tried literally everyone out there. Poweramp, Player Pro with the dsp options, n7, google music, the stock music player, installed beats audio etc. The best all around player would have to be a tie between power amp and player pro (with the Dsp addon)... but if you are into some serious sound quality and you really like tweaking and personalizing your sound use Neutron Music Player. It is seriously underrated, but the UI is kinda funky and it doesn't organize your music very well.
I just tried player pro and compared it with power amp. Player pro is nice, I love the interface but it still doesn't sound quite as good as power amp, even with the dsp add-on IMO. It's a shame because I really like the interface on player pro much better. It also seems to run smoother within android.

I've used a few media players, and they all come up short somehow. So, I'm wondering if we can get an ongoing discussion of people's favorite music players.
FREE only, I don't care if PowerAmp is the best, I'm not dropping five bucks when there are decent free options. And there are decent free options if we look. Supporting developers is cool, but we chose an open platform to have choices, not to be shoehorned into a one-size-fits-some solution. Also, we know PowerAmp, PlayerPro, and DoubleTwist Premium are the best. There's no need for a lively conversation about the best paid music app. Just pick one of those and you're okay.
Amazon MP3. First non-stock media player I stuck with for any amount of time. Decent player but kind of barebones. Nice if you have music in Amazon's cloud (I do).
MIUI player. Found on XDA somewhere. Decent, but ugly (black and white). Had something else wrong with it, I forget what.
Cloudskipper. Has an EQ, but lives up to its name -- for some reason, it skips, like your phone all of a sudden has moving parts. Imagine a first-generation CD player in a truck that's gone mudding and you wouldn't be far off. Also, it purges its playlists every so often (every time new music is added to the memory card, I think).
Songbird. Currently using this. So far it's alright. Open source, so there's that.
Basically, I need the player to let me make a playlist and shuffle it. That's my core requirement. I don't want all the music on my phone in the mix, just most of it. Eventually I will make various "channels" like hard/fast and soft/slow, maybe a country-only playlist, etc., but for now it's just "Favorites". Wouldn't mind an EQ but it's not necessary. And it's got to display the metadata. I spend an ungodly amount of time getting that right. Album art, artist/band, album, title at least. Year and genre optional.
P.S.: Why do so many players make it so easy to accidentally set a song as a ringtone? Do they get paid every time you do this or something? (Yes, I know that sounds stupid.) Who wants a whole song, not just a 30 second clip of one, as a ringtone? If it's got an awesome intro ("Joker and the Thief" by Wolfmother springs to mind) maybe, but still, wouldn't you wanna crop it down first?
Try doubletwist ® player,
It's got iPod functions, for free!
Samsung Galaxy Gio

Dont say 'thanks', just press the button
DoubleTwist is not free. There is a free version, but it is heavily crippled. It used to only charge extra for syncing, now it says you have to pay to see album covers, even the ones embedded in the file (though, it offered to let me see three for free!). What a crock. I actually tried it earlier today and was disgusted by how far DT has fallen. It used to be a good app.
I'm only interested in FREE music players. The old DoubleTwist would have been fine as the Pro feature is not one I need. But metadata support is a requirement, as I said. And if it has an EQ, that has to be on the free side -- another feature DT wants you to pay for.
Just for the record, poweramp is not the best,
(it's extremely quiet, voodoo louder has no effect on it, the gui is terrible, it lacks many useful features, and so much more)
Anyhoo, try Xplayer, it doesn't have all the features you might want, but the music quality is level with PlayerPro, the gui is pretty, but as I said, it lacks a few needed features.
You may also want to try;
N7P
Rocket Music Player

If you say MIUI player is ugly, there are a lot of themed ones. You can try UberMusic, a WP7 style. I personally use Xperia S music ported, see if that works for you
UberMusic and N7Player are not free..!
Curious about the Sony one. I used their launcher briefly. It was nice but light on the options.
I didn't know the MIUI player had themes. It was just black and white. I'm trying to remember what my problem with it was, because I loved it at first. I think it just had "favorites" of its own, songs in my Favorites playlist that it would play daily, and that playlist had 150+ songs. So even though my commute is half an hour, there is no excuse for it to play the same 2-4 songs every time. That isn't what shuffle is, it needs to be totally random.
XPlay is pretty ugly, but it says it has themes. I gotta hand it to 'em, they could have gone with black and grey like everybody else, but they went with orange on light grey. It's a bold choice. I might have to check it out to see what else they did differently. (Also, I'm old enough to remember when the cool electronics were silver, before they were white and beige, which is before black. 70s/80s, 90s, and 00s/10s respectively.)

I was going to recommend cubed too. It's pretty decent. My only real complaint would be the lock screen controls don't seem to work perfectly for me (I press the lock button and my normal lock screen appears, then disappears, then I have to press it again to get the lock screen controls to show). But that may just be my phone.
It's certainly a nice player.
I think that the best music player and 100% free is Stock android player + beats audio* + xloud* and maybe any equaliser - but xperia s stock player has equaliser so i cant give any examples of good ones.
*both are ported for android 2.3, just look for thread and zip file to flash

You're right, but we shouldn't forget that is "beta"
I forget what I didn't like about cubed. I'll have to try it again.
And I resent the implication that pirating a paid app is a valid solution to being dissatisfied with a couple free apps. There are so many free choices.

Never mind, cubed is cool. It doesn't have the playlist support I want but it will be cool on a road trip to quickly queue songs when we don't want a dumb playlist to pick for us. Thanks for that recommendation.

Is there anyway to play local files on Apple Music or put them in a file folder. Thanks
I don't know If I'm on the right thread, but I think it's not necessary to open another one.
I'm really enjoying Apple Music since it's stops the beta test. I'm only missing an application or a method to scrobble my songs to Last.Fm.
Anyone knows some?

Well it's August 2017 and nothing is still available?? I thought that they would be more Apple Music Android users. Bummer is that I just got 6 months free subscription with EE here in the UK. But I am unlikely to use it cause I am an avid Last.FM user. Any help would be appreciated!

Nothing yet, I've tried a lot of things. I'm still using Apple Music and I'm scrobbling my songs manually using this site (it's unlimited) https://ows.elamperti.com/
It's annoying to do it, I know, but it's the only way I've found to not give up Apple Music or Last.Fm
