On my iphone i can stream mp3 files easily, but cant on my sgs. Ii normally just click on the "download" icon, and it starts playing, but on my sgs is says "cannot download...the content is not supported on this phone"
Even if i can just save it as a mp3, thats ok too...but it wont allow me to. Here is the link:

i normally hit the download button on iphone. OH...i should also tell you that although these are mp3 files...when i save them on my computer, it automatically puts them in folders according to complexity of the lectures. They are imbedded with that info...but what options do i have to save this file on my phone? thanks
Downloads perfectly fine in JPC Froyo. 73.46mb MP3. Damn!!
Try downloading Astro File Manager, going into Settings, More, Preferences (In Astro) and then Enable Browser Download. That might help you before Froyo's released officially.
Ok I am heading to a 18hr flight later today and am trying to load some "digital copy" movies to my tab.
Before the TW update, I had no issues uploading the movies etc. Now when I try to copy them over I get messaged asking if I want to convert the movies or not. Whether I click yes or no, after the movie is done converting, I get an error saying that the device is busy and can not copy the files.
Now, If I try and copy anything else, including other movie files, it works perfectly.
Does anyone have a solution to this, or are having the same problem?

Try selecting 'no' for conversion. In the mean time, you can also try an app called websharing and copy files from your computer to tablet without wires. The trial version won't expire, but it'll only give an option of uploading 1 file at a time.
Hope that resolves your issue.
Thanks, Ill try that program.
Selecting "No" just brings up the error message immediately, whereas if I hit convert, it takes about 30 minutes and then says the error.
Hi,
On longer trips I want to use my Xoom as a movieplayer in the car for the kids. I'm looking for a kidfriendly-way to display the movies (large icons or something like that) so they can easily navigate and start a movie. My oldest is 6 years.
Any suggestions ?
Thanks in advance !
Moboplayer
I'm a big fan of mobo player. You can set it to check certain directories as default and it displays thumbnails to choose from. My just turned four year old can navigate it no problem. The other cool thing is that while a movie is playing you can hit the menu button and it will lock the screen until you hit menu again.
Best of all its free. Load up the app in the market and the first time you start it it will prompt you to download device specific files.
One more thing - if for some reason the hardware decoding isn't playing a file just hold down the file and it will give you a prompt to play it with software decoding. If it becomes a constant problem you can set software decoding as the default.
I use MovieBrowser HD as the front end, and Mobo player with its codecs (that it will download when you first launch it) to play the movies back. I have a 32gig uSD card loaded up with movies convered via DVD Catalyst 4.
My 3 year old can turn on my Xoom, unlock it, connect my Logitech BT stereo head set, find MovieBrowser HD app (no matter if I have an icon on the home screen, or he has to go to the app drawer), and launch whatever movie he's in the mood for. He even goes up to my room to grab it when he wants to watch a movie.
When I hang it over a "seat back protector/organizer" in the car it becomes my "rear seat entertainment center" for him. Glad I didn't spend the money on the rear seat DVD system option in my car (would have been an added $3000). He just reaches out and does what he needs to, and he's happy.
Unfortunately, I rarely get to use my Xoom now
I found it easier to use the stock video player. Spent $30 on any DVD converter for android it converts the files and optimizes for Xoom. Then I did not need to worry about codecs and why it won't play an MKV file today. Also found it kid friendly with big pictures from the beginning of the movie so most of the time they can identify what it is without having to read the title.

MX Player !!!
Just yesterday I installed the newest MX Player again to see what kind of feature set it has. And I don't even know how new it is but it actually has two separate "Kid Lock" modes.
So, in the Settings->Player->Touch Controls->Lock Mode
There are two options:
1) Kids Lock - locks out the screen and buttons (except for power and volume at least on my Galaxy Nexus)
2) Kids Lock (+ Touch Effects) - Same as kids lock, except it adds ToddlerLock style screen effects.
I hope this helps!

1. Go to the screen where you want to place the movie shortcut.
2. Find your ES File Explorer App. And open it.
3. Find your folder that has your digital movies and open it.
4. Find the movie you want to create a shortcut with and long press it.
5. Next you will see different options, chose the one that says “Shortcut” it will automatically place it on the screen.
6. Now back all the way out of ES File Explorer until you get to the desktop.
7. Long press the shortcut you just made, and choose edit.
8. You will see a box pop up along with the keyboard. Type the name you want to call it or just delete the file extension example (mp4, etc)
9. Next tap the big icon to change it and choose select picture, then Gallery, then you should see the movie Icon you have downloaded select it then hit OK.
To find the movie icons just do a Google search for the movie (Example: Fast and the Furious 2 icons)
http://www.fanpop.com/spots/the-fast-and-the-furious-movies/images
I always use Fanpop.com and once you get on the movie page there is usually a movie banner at the top of the page and to the left of the banner there is a picture of the movie. Just long press and chose view image, it will open up to a small picture in the upper left hand corner. Long press and choose “Save Image”. It should place it your gallery folder. You should probably do this first before you create shortcuts for your movies.
Here's a question for all you Nexus 4 pros. How do you transfer music to your phone? Every time I plug it into my computer and try to transfer music over, an error box pops up that says "your device might not be able to play or view this file" (attached screen shot). It does the same thing when I try to transfer any ringtones over as well.
I also have the Amazon mp3 app and have tried downloading my music from that onto my phone, but the Play Music app wont play it, an error pops up that says "Couldn't play the track you requested".
Any ideas??

it says might, have you tried if it will or not?
It shows the same pop-up for me as well, just ignore the warning and click on "Yes".
