MobiTV and Sirius music for free, no cracking

I switched from a 700p to a HTC Mogul and miss only one thing now. There was this little known secret to get free MobiTV and Sirius music by going to these websites ...
Code:
http://qtv.mobitv.com/sprintTVlive.mcd
ALL Sprint TV Live from MobiTV (including cable channels like TLC, Discovery, etc ...)
Code:
http://ss.siriusradio.com/Main_Menu.mcd
SOME Sirius streams too.
On any Sprint Palm device, when you go to either site in Blazer, it will open Kinoma player and give you the channel lists. No cracking or hacking necessary, these are public streams and do not bill your account.
Is there a way to stream .mcd data into Windows Media or equivalent?

Hell, the other way is much more convenient

I have half of it working.
If you install styletap and kinoma into style tap, you can view the streams.. but you must open the sprintTVlive.mcd file and manually enter one of the RTSP streams into kinoma..
any ideas how to get blazer into styletap?

and that would be....

yeah.. whats that?

i think airjer is referring to cracking the applications.

hate to spoil the suspense..
Would have been nice if everyone would look around first.... .

Thanks for the link , but I did look around first and already saw that thread.
That method needs you to remove dll files and install scripts. This method, you do not modify MobiTV's software and potentially could use an off the shelf streaming player. Much more preferred IMHO.
Also, not confident cingular cab will work with all providers/phones. This method will work any phone w/ web connection.
Also, I believe Sprint TV live has more stations.
Also, this is Sirius not XM.

BBC iPlayer and syncing with iTunes?

Hi there.
Can a kind soul please tell me whether the Hero will be compatible with iPlayer and if I will be able to sync my (non-DRM) iTunes music across to the phone?
Also, how often does the Facebook widget update - is it pretty much 'real time'?
Thank you, in advance.

i am using the hero port for the g1 and bbc iplayer works with the beepPlayer app off the android market, there is no facebook widget afaik, and you should be able to sync the music fine by just copying it to the phones SD card

Yes, the beebplayer works fine on the release devices.
And the facebook and flickr updates in the people app are every 2,4,8,12 or 24 hours, depending on what you set it to (2 hours is the default)
As for the Music, raider is correct, you just drag and drop to the memory card and you're done.

I think that the original poster might be moreso hoping to have the organization of the itunes app transfer over with some order to the phone.
From what I understand, it works right now, but Steve Jobs has mentioned that it may not always be so, as I am guessing this was kind of an unexpected (unauthorized as well?) compatibility.
Caid.

iTunes doesn't work with any Android device. It works with Apple products & the Palm Pre & thats becaues Palm faked it as an iPod most likely with iPod device/vendor IDs.

I didn't really want it to work with the Hero, as such, but...
...simply to be able to easily listen to my AAC (non DRM) songs on the device. Should this be possible?

Just use Windows Media Player.

which is the best app for sync my xperia with itune?

i had ipod touch and now i want to sync all my music(and playlists) on my xperia x10. i found some programs like tynesync lite and another one like an itun for androind on my windows. the one is creating the playlist as i wont put it import only 20 tracks in each playlists. the other program is trasfering only the tracks and is not grating the playlists. is there any other applications which creates playlists and import in them more than 20 songs?

Mod. edit: not (yet) t&a related, moved to general

Just use pc campanion(its preinstalled to your sd card).

Hiya,
I use an app called Isyncr...
It copies an itunes playlist of your choice over to your sd card (and therefore mediascape)!!

mediascpae can only sync 20 tracks per playlist? if yes is there any way to increase this issue?

Try DoubleTwist, it's actually made for syncing itunes and android.
It also has other sync functions likeictures,video,music,subscriptions and also has android marketplace.
(im apparently not allowed to post links :S, anyway just google and you will find it)

i used it but is transfering only the songs that are in playlist without the playlists

Engadget put up an article about an Android app which claims to sync with iTunes on Windows and OSX. It's free for a limited time while it's in beta it seems. It looks like a capable client. It's called DoubleTwist.
http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/android-upgrades-itself-with-doubletwist-media-player-app/
Edit: Missed IceBre4ker post. Oh boy.

interesting post.
After viewing the google I/O keynote and all the hoo haa about froyo, there is an over the air sync on froyo where you can actually play your media files on your home computer via your 3G or wifi. Is there an app for that right now?
Doubletwist and the like seem to only work when the USB is connected. The over the air streaming app would provide the ultimate music experience as my music collection is over 80 GB.
Froyo will take forever to be released for our device. A cooked rom might suffice, but until that time, an app would really help us out here.

Subsonic on EVO 4G

Just thought I'd make a quick post as I haven't seen much dicussion on Subsonic. I have Subsonic installed on my server with about 100+ Gigs of music.
I installed Subsonic for android on my 4G today and connected it to my server. Setup was easy. Works great. 100Gigs of music in my pocket anywhere I get a cell connection! Connect to the aux in the car for 34 days of commercial free music.
What's not to like!!

I'm surprised more people aren't talking about this. Subsonic is simply amazing.
Install software on your desktop PC to set up web access to your music. You get a very nice web interface. And an Android app.
www.subsonic.org

I'm also using Subsonic and really enjoy it. I had a little trouble initially with the server side setup, but once I figured it out and got a connection to my EVO, it's worked great for the most part. I do have an occasional pause in the playback, but I think that's more related to signal strength than anything else, because it always starts back up where it paused.

We also had Subsonic set up to stream movies a while back. A soon as I get some time I'm gonna try and see if I can use it to stream video to the EVO.

Hey, thanks for this. I never heard of this... works perfectly!!! Much appreciated!

First time hearing of this. I am downloading now.
/edit
I downloaded it..but i don't get how to set it up? I have the desktop client downloaded..
sent from your stolen evo

Thank you this is what i have been looking for ever since I got my EVO.

I was a frustrated HP Media Smart Home Server user who finally gave up on the HP crapware, and went the DIY WHS route. That's what led me to Subsonic as a substitute for the HP software.
A way better choice. This program actually works without tying up the server doing indexes and hogging CPU cycles like the HP Twonky Media software did.
Access to your entire music library, and it doesn't even store anything on the SD card!
My next project will be to get it working with MP4's so I cantake movies with us on the road.

I'm setting up a server just to use this. How is the UI on the app? Is it usable as a primary music app?

It is really just designed for streaming from your server. There may be a way to use it as a music app but I haven't looked into that yet.

I just checked, you just select Offline for the server. Works fine.

Wait, so how does that work...I'm going to check their website to see if I can reformulate this post with an actual question lol.
EDIT: OK, I think I phrased the initial question wrong. Would the experience of picking a song be similar to using any other music app as if music was stored locally? I'm not going to have anything on the phone, everything will be streamed.
EDIT2: Ignore what I said up there, here are some screen shots and video of the UI: http://www.subsonic.org/pages/screenshots.jsp
Does the app work in landscape mode?

Ok guys, you can download the Subsonic app from the Market and connect to their "test" server to see how the app works.
It works in the landscape mode. Has no widget, unfortunately. But song/file browsing, and playback is VERY functional.
If you need help installing this on the desktop side, read this: http://www.subsonic.org/pages/installation.jsp
You should note that while the desktop app is 100% free, the use of mobile apps is limited to 30 days at which point you have to "donate". The donation can be any amount, and you will be provided with the unlock key which you use inside the web interface of your server.

Well I installed the desktop client but can't seem to open the webpage no matter what.

Are you trying to open it from the desktop or the phone?

Am I the only one using subsonic for video too? The music/app are great, but having streaming flash access to my video library anywhere is the best. Has to be done through the browser for now though.
Instructions here:
http://www.hackourlives.com/cross-platform-music-and-video-streaming-with-subsonic/
I'm trying to work out a way to encode/stream my live TV signal through my tuner card kinda like a slingbox. I'll post if I have some success, but I don't have much time to work on it these days.

Thanks for the link!
We had video streaming set up to our laptops, but hadn't tried setting it up on the cell phones yet.
I turn over all the details to my 15 yr old who is much faster than I am at doing all the setup. We'll get started once he gets a break at school.
We did have it set up to open whatever Media Player we wanted to use. If my son remembers what he did I'll try to get him to post the instructions.

Should be no need to play it in an external player on the evo - just switch to landscape and it will go to full screen. If you really want play it in an external player, FLV player (from the market) might work. Or if you want to download the video before playing (so you don't get any skipping while you're on 3G), you can download the file from either the app or the web interface, and play it with FLV Player.
Subsonic wants you to make a donation of 10 Euros to continue using the subdomain they have you sign up for during setup. But if you like rolling your own, sign up for a free subdomain an use a DNS updater (built in to some routers or available for any platform) to make sure the reference to your IP stays up-to-date.
For DNS updaters and more free subdomains than you can shake an iPhone at:
http://freedns.afraid.org/

this is great ! thanks for suggesting it. I was looking for something similar, tired of having to carry around the ipod just to hook up in the car. I'm going to test it out for a few days, but I think I'm going to donate for sure!

Wrong. The denominations under donation menu are merely suggestions. You are welcome to donate ANY amount you CAN ($2 worked for me) to get your license. Just manually send a payment through PayPal to his email (you can get the email from the forums somewhere, do a search for donation).

Google music beta and Audio galaxy my thoughts after trying both.

I just got my Google music beta invite and i have to say im impressed very much so!! Its very easy to install and the ui looks smooth on my phone and on my pc. Works very nicely as a music player on pc and phone and streams everything flawless on 3g or wifi on my phone which im really excited about. I have been using Audio galaxy ever since it came out for android and i love that app as its probably my most used app as it streams all my music perfect over 3g and wifi but i think Audio galaxy has some stiff competition with google music beta!
The only downside i can see so far to google music beta is the limit, it can only stream 20,000 songs and i have over 60, 000 songs. While Audio Galaxy can stream any limit its endless. So far the google music is beautiful and i will be using this for the next week and see if any more probs show up but so far none that i can see. Anything that lets me play music free from my phone streaming perfect is great in my eyes. I guess i have 2 great music players now for my car and everywhere else.

Thanks for the comparison. I've been an avid user of Audiogalaxy for a while now, so I was wondering if Google Music would be better. So far it looks like it has a slicker UI and maybe better playback? Haven't seen the PC UI though, so I'm interested in that.

Audiogalaxy updated their UI and its ugly. I decided to stay on the old version. That aside, I like AG more than google music.

Thank you very much for your recommendation. Since I am from outside US , I can't use Google music right now so I will try audio galaxy.

yah it does do the sync first time very slow i have to admit that. But i have alot of music but after first sync it should be fine.

it took me like 3-4 days to upload 7600 songs. but my upload on my cable connection is only 1Mbps. so yeah, it took a long time, but now that's done and i'm really liking it.

Thanks guys. Now waiting for my invite.

Don't mean to hijack the thread but just a quick note to those that will be uploading music to Google Music Beta.
Make sure you have all your tracks organized and cleaned up, as in no duplicates etc... What you upload is what you get. If you have duplicates there is no easy way that I found to clean it up once it is in the cloud. If anyone knows a way to do this I would love to know
Other than that I like the experience so far, streaming has worked well.

yes there is a way to clean it up. Go to albums,songs or artists and u will see a little triangle by it. Click that and u will get lots of options as to edit names, delete artist and more all in that little triangle. Its alot easier to see in artist and albums just click the album and look by the cd cover. I hope this helps u!

Thinking of trying out ag, but how does the client on my phone find my server? I don't have a static ip address and am to lazy to setup something dyndns. Does ag have a server that acts as a node between our own server and the client?

I don't get it.
We're Android users.
We can stream from our own AV system, no limits.
What is the point of this?

I gotta admit. i got google music and it's pretty f'n awesome. I'm not sure what AudioGalaxy is but i've been using subsonic which uses ur computer as a server to push songs to you wherever you are but the downside to that is keeping ur computer on. Is that the same for audiogalaxy?
Anyway, it's all about the cloud. access your music anywhere, anytime. no strings attached.
And damn, the upload is so f'n slow. spent the whole day uploading and it's only got 2.5k songs done. still got another 11k to go. :/

As I remember, yes. But you don't need anything but your router's IP address to get to your own network, then you can use any player you like.

Aside from size limitations, privacy problems, DRM and the major labels and Google being able to yank your music at any time?

Seriously - why bother?

^Wholeheartedly agree...sorry for the late bump...but just got my invite and already I'm not stoked.
Interface is great, app is great, it's google-slick.
Problems (dealbreakers vs. Audiogalaxy):
Can't stream DRM content...some of my favorite music is DRM'ed (thanks to freaking Itunes...but I was not ahem...enlightened back then). I'm somewhat of an audiophile and most options for stripping DRM involve recompressing and already highly degraded compressed file.
Upload is slow...but I can deal
Pretty much every thing ericgill pointed out I agree with. My home server is on all the time...AG is superior...at least for now.
Not a current Vibrant user...but I thought I'd chime in...

cant stream to multiple accounts
The one major blocked on using Google music is that I can not stream simultaneously to multiple accounts. I can do this with AG. My wife and I can enjoy together.
