I use Player Pro+Simple-Last.fm-scrobbler as my media player and have never used any stock player. I've never bought music tracks on Google.
However, I've just noticed that Android Market suggested me one of my favourite songs. Just curious, how did it collect such information? As far as I know, it can't access last.fm data.

creepy.. google is watching us!

Besides the jokes, useful posts would be appreciated.
Google predicts your music taste by referencing the music stored on your phone and previous music purchases... Read the Legal Agreement on Google Play... You give Google permission to analyse content stored on the device...
What surprised me is that I'm actually a frequent Esperanza Spalding listener, so it would be nice to know if it randomly suggests tracks whose artists are already stored on the device, or if it checks how often those songs are listened to (AKA how many times the files are opened) and only suggests tracks from the user's favourite artists.
I'm gonna have a look to the Legal Agreement.

That would make sense, even though I wouldn't like it.
Thanks

My app displays tech news from 100% of all the major tech and gadget news sites. So essentially it is an aggregator. I also have it up on the Google play store and decided to share with you guys because a lot of the amazon users like to read on their Kindle Fire.
My app displays the news in a clear, simple and well organized way. It is also a fast loading and has no annoying ads that clutter the screen. It just has a single small Google adsense link ad. I am confident it will get great reviews and soon I will make one for the iPhone too. My app doesn't eat battery either, after you and is very minimistic and after you exit it doesn't hang around in the background like some apps do.
Here it is and enjoy.

So this post is to ask developers out there, to make a third party client for instagram, there are hundreds of clients for twitter and Facebook, why hasn't anyone made an instagram one? (There are like 3 in the play store but all of em are very bad).
These companies have trillions of dollars and can't make decent apps, I love Instagram, but the android Iinstagram client is HIDEOUS, its all clunky and slow, it does not follow android design guidelines at all, its just a blown up version of the OLD version from iOs 6, bottom line, it sucks.
Here is a mockup of a nice and slick instagram client someone made like a year ago or so, this is what we need, please devs step up and give us a nice instagram client, I'd be happy to pay for it!

Hey people familiar with Windows Phone
Yes, that's right. In 2018, when WP and W10M are basically dead, I am publishing The Music Player Windows Phone Deserved, after Microsoft failed to use the Metro (Modern) design language's potential to give us a decent music player.
Any decent music player on the Store is either not that decent or not free.
I've been working on this project for 2 years now. I've dedicated a lot of time to get things right, and to finally address what I didn't like about other music players both on Windows Phone and Android/iOS.

The app is released in beta, and I'm posting to technical forums so people interested can help me with the beta version.
I'm hoping I can bring the pleasure of music listening to those of us who appreciated Metro (Modern) but didn't get what both they and the platform deserved in terms of elegance in music apps.
You can check out the app and get it from www[dot]rhythmapp[dot]audio. (I'm not allowed to make hyperlinks here yet apparently)
Please do send feedback. You can do so either using the in app menus or emailing me directly: feedback [at] rhythmapp [dot] audio.
PLEASE NOTE: SINCE THE APP IS IN BETA AND ALLOWS YOU TO REMOVE SONGS AND EDIT THEIR METADATA, PLEASE BACKUP YOUR MUSIC LIBRARY.
Any issues in editing songs may lead to song quality degradation or removal of songs, so do backup.
Thanks.
