Nice uneducated response... First off, those things in the market version are "ads" not "adds" and the word you are trying to use is "Since" not "Sense" Second, take some time and read the wiki on "Pandora radio" because you clearly don't understand what's what. Pandora was developed by an Indie programmer to use the Indie developed music genome project. The annual fee does everything the hack does, except it also increases the music quality AND pays the Indie developers and allows them to keep the service running.
The Pandora service costs money to run, and as a matter of fact it nearly shut down a few years ago because of that cost. The ads and fees keep the service running and I'm sure you want that. You do enjoy Pandora as much as the millions of others who rely on it for entertainment daily?
The fees that this Indie developer founded service asks for are entirely reasonable and you are circumventing them. That is something to be ashamed of.

I have never noticed any quality changes w the subscription Plus, with this app the biggest catch for me is unlimited skips, I could deal w an add every now and then, just so happens I don't have to anymore. Definetly one of my most used apps.

I assume then you are not rooted? I assume you do not use wireless or wired tether? Both would be against your user agreement, which is a contract. The second would be stealing data when you should be using the built in 3g hotspot and paying $9.99 a month. For shame!!!

This is a very naive response, and reflects zero understanding of the software business.
It costs money to bring you Pandora. They have 250 employees who don't work for free. 50% of their revenue goes to pay royalties. Not many companies would survive with 50% siphoned off the top.
Pandora doesn't care what you do or don't buy, it's the advertising royalties from companies who want to put Ads in front of you that matters to Pandora.
Pandora is already free with Ads (just like many of our apps) and the 40hrs/month limit can be exceeded for the princely sum of 0.99/month. Unlimited streaming media at home, in your pocket, or in your car for $1 a month. That's your definition of 'gready'?
Ad free Pandora One costs a grand total of $3 a month. That's 0.10 cents a day. They are not exactly emptying anyone's pockets for what they provide.
Six skips an hour? That is per station so having multiple stations makes it easy enough to keep the skip limit being much of an issue. The 'skip limit' is not to piss people off, it's one of the reasons they can continue to stream music the way they do.
It's not like Pandora is one of the 'evil empires'.
They struggled financially for years and had to fight the music industry to prevent ruinous royalty fees. As it is they pay the highest royalty rate of any other music stream (radio/satellite). It's only in 2009 that they knew they would be able to stay in business and not be put out of business by the traditional music industry.
And its not like they don't care about their customers. Last year they did a 50 city road show to get input from anyone who wanted to show up.

Totally agree.
Being that this dev community is the absolute best, I have to bring this to light.
Google Movie Support has just informed me that Google Movies will not work for rooted XOOMs. This just won't fly.
Is there anyone out there working on a fix or workaround for this?
I'd love root. I love movies. We shouldn't have to choose between the two.

I feel ya bro, and I'm pretty sure the devs are already looking into it. Since it is a DRM authorization issue, it is probably going to be a pretty good hack to get around it.
I'm confused by 2 things on this topic:
1) why does it matter if its rooted or not?
I would assume the answers is because root would allow us some magical privledge of copying a cache and possibly extracting video and then redistributing.
2) how the frig can it tell?

My guess is either one of: (1) checking for the ro.secure property being set, or (2) doing something "rootable", like being able to read a certain file/directory, etc.
If in the former case, I don't have an idea of what to do that wouldn't require the HC source, but in the case of the latter, it'd be relatively easy to ... wait- don't let me help El Goog out. It's not rocket science (think rootkit, but in reverse).
Well instead of listening I tried it as well with The Green Hornet and couldn't download it. Kept getting error but these developers will come up with the answers they have been nothing short of amazing when it comes to the Moto Xoom

This is the same with the blockbuster app on the Atrix. I can set SU to block requests from the app, but as long as I'm running rooted, it refuses to play (and tells you when you launch the app).
I don't understand the difference between this and running Itunes or Netflix on a "rooted" (admin capable) PC. Why is the phone different?

So did you still get charged for it? The wifi version won't even get the movies for awhile. I don't know why Google doesn't have it ready for both.
It isn't very surprising to hear. None of the major studios will allow media to be downloaded without some form of restrictive DRM and root access probably violates their policies.

Would make more sense for it to check if you're rooted before the transaction goes through.
Nice Google, what a great way to pit the development community against you, even though Android would be nothing without us. Sellout.
Strange, I have unlocked and rooted Nexus One and could play any Netflix video in official Netflix app, so DRM works on rooted system. So may be it's problem with something else?
If you order thru your web browser by going to the web based android market and play it thru your web browser it works.
Thanks for the tip on the browser market thing it works

I'm sure there's a way to 'block' the google movie rental service from obtaining root rights (or at least checking)... no ?
neowin.net said:
This is a bit of an unusual move from Google, who normally promote the open nature of Android; many rooted users are likely to feel somewhat irked by this. There's a likely possibility that the movie studios are the ones behind the decision, unwilling to let Google license anything without some form of copy protection in place. Because of this, many legitimate users will feel they're being punished for the sake of preventing something from leaking on the Internet, which in all likelihood will already be there anyway.

See.. if I were going to pirate a movie and leak it on the internet, I certainly wouldn't pay money to rent it on my android phone, then try and make it watchable on a 60" TV.. bastards... they're so ignorant (the movie companies)... people will sit in a theater w/ a small camera attached to a pocket sized DVR to make bootlegs.. there's also telesync and telecine 'copies' as well.. w/ those, the 'pirate' is attached directly to the projector to grab the video signal but uses a microphone for the audio. These telesync/telecine 'copies' are usually the most desirable in the bootleg world because of the 'improved' video quality vs the camera in a pocket bootlegs. The next best quality is an 'R5' which is DVD quality video because the movie was released overseas (russia or somewhere?) and since the audio isn't in english, someone takes the 'bootleg' audio from a theater and overlays is onto the video... Then there are 'work prints' (stuff that's still WIP ) and DVDrip (that one should be obvious).. there are also 'pirates' that will just get a netflix subscription to mail the DVD's back and forth, ripping them as they receive them, or blockbuster (you can turn those back into your local store if there are any still open)... What I'm getting at is there are MANY ways for pirates to 'steal' movies and I can assure you that making a rip from a phone would be stupid.. it wouldn't net a tolerable viewing experience. The RIAA needs to go see a doctor and have their heads removed from their collective 'puckered starfishes'

I could not care less about this topic.
1. I would never pay to rent a movie on my cell phone. Free? Sure. Pay ? no way.
2. The second any movie is released on blueray it's already up for download in FULL quality.

Well, you can contact them and get a refund. And I don't think you'll make the same mistake twice.
But I can pretty much 99% guarantee in order to get deals to allow renting of movies on the Market, Google had to tell the studios that they wouldn't allow playback on rooted devices. Google is fine with rooted devices, they clearly allow many rooted apps (even apps that root your phone) on the Market. Its the studios that think there's piracy problem and want no playback on rooted phones, even though that's absolutely retarded, but that's how they feel (look at netflix, they were going to require hardware chips for DRM in android phones to get netflix playback at first).
Cool your jets. It'll be a small matter of time before we have the market cracked open and this root check removed so we can use it. If you're rooted you should have no problem waiting for this, you should understand it. The root community won't rage on this, they'll just fix it for themselves as they always do.
Well think of it this way. Either only nonrooted devices get to rent movies, or no android phones get to rent movies. It's not google, but the studios demanding protection from rooted devices copying their films.

The content providers are thinking ENTIRELY too hard about this. Ok, so they could have took his money and he could have somehow pirated it off the phone. First off, there are millions of copies of whatever said media floating around anyways. Second of all, by them NOT letting him get it, he is probably just gonna go pirate it. F-in idiots! They should just take everyone's money and be thankful anyone even WANTS to actually pay for it. On a sidenote, it's been highly publicized that rooted phones were not gonna be aloud to access this new paid content on the market. Unfortunately looks like you missed all those articles lol. And i'm pretty sure i remember reading that it will take your money and then tell you that you can't have it.

Ya really. It drives me nuts that they think they are still in a position to be making such demands. If I were the ceo of one of those company, I would be doing everything humanly possible to make it as EASY as possible to obtain their stuff legit. Instead they still want to candy coat it in drm and put restrictions all over the place. Its not like ten years ago where your average person really only knew how to get music. In this day and age even grandma moses knows how to download a movie. And with xbox, ps3 etc., you don't even have to go through the trouble of converting and burning it anymore! I mean seriously. The movie industry is its own worst enemy. The music industry imo has gotten slightly better, but the movie industry is its own worst enemy. At least with music they allow things like pandora, and now spotify. It really has curtailed a lot of my piracy. But the movie industry is still trying to run with this old model that's just not working. 10 dollars a TICKET? Twenty to buy it? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. I LOVE how the price of everything in the world has went up, but the average wage has not went up barely at all. Don't get me started! In america music and movies are creature comforts, and they gotta realize were gonna get them one way or the other. Do u want to sell one movie for 20 dollars to one out of five people? Or sell a movie for 10 dollars to 4 out of 5.

Its pretty clear whats going on here. And anyone on XDA understands that there is 100000% more piracy on computers where they offer this also than there are on phones.
But the studios don't care. They know piracy happens on computers and they're fighting that battle. They know that they can demand Google remove functionality from rooted devices, so they do. They can't stop it on computers, but they can (in their minds) stop it on Android phones.
You guys are expecting the studios to act rationally on this, since when do you expect them to do that? Like I said before 1) Did you really expect the studios to not block this? and 2) The community will crack this in no time, cool your jets.

I apologize to the Mistress in advance for being slightly off topic, but Hulu has gotten just as bad. More and more studios are pulling their day after air streaming and making it exclusive to Hulu+. What they don't understand is after I missed a show I would much rather give them ad revenue by watching on Hulu than by torrenting something. Yet they take that away? Greedy idiots.

You people realize that there has to be something on a phone WITH root compared to a phone withOUT root in order for them to DETECT IT, don't you? What do you suppose that thing is? Probably a command somewhere in the PATH called "su". Want them to not detect that you have root? "mv /path/to/su /path/to/fuisuANYWAY"
will that affect any of the functions of the root?
I don't understand why you're so surprised. This was said would happen when they announced Google Movies in May. Read up.

As posted, the devs will get around this. I don't have any devs skills but I'm thinking some type terminal app. Something that retains su permissions to take advantage of the currentwork around.
su
mount -o remount, rw /system
mv /system/xbin/su /system/xbin/mu
Hit home than watch your movie or other paid stuff is done, than reload the same terminal session, which still has su permissions
mv /system/xbin/mu /system/xbin/su
Either the videos or youtube app looks for the su binary. Simply renaming or removing it will yield results.
Perhaps the devs will modify the apps to not check. I only found one instance of su in the videos apk, but I really have no idea what I'm doing , just tinkering and exploring. About to check the youtube apk.
Well that works for me for now...just annoying as ****

Truth be told anything that is rent-able in the Android Market is already available on torrents anyway! So to put that restriction on rooted phones is almost laughable, considering anyone who went through the process of rooting is almost assuredly a wiz at torrents!
Can anyone recommend a good free converter that will change my .m4p files to mp3 for use with my S4 / other devices. I hate restrictions on the stuff I PAID for. Looks like I may have just installed a faulty program trying to search myself. Any help would be appreciated
Sent from my AT&T Galaxy S4 Running AOKP 4.2.2
I haven't worked with m4p files in a LONG time, but back when I was in college, I used to make "CDs" out of them with an old application that made sort of an iso of the CD format, and just ripped in back into mp3 format. Ended up create a small script that would do that for a list of songs. I'm pretty sure someone has created an app to do that by now. If all else fails, you can go at it the old fashion way - burn and rip.

I still buy all my music from itunes and it has always worked on my android phones. IIRC Apple convered to non-DRM many years ago. Anything you bought before that they gave you an option to convert (for a price).

Just got off the phone with a rep and I should be able to get those older tracks dmr free in the way of redownloading. The songs unfortunately are too far back to be listed for direct download in my purchase history. I have to go on chat support and give all the individual order numbers listed in my invoice looking purchase history. Certainly not ideal, but better than nothing.

I tested it out with my account, and anything that I purchase back when I owned a 3GS remains DRM'd. If Apple's willing to help you, that's awesome. There might be some issue about when you bought it and what the EULA was back then. Hopefully Apple can help you through that.
On a side note, Amazon MP3 FTW!

iTunes plus has been discontinued and I have yet to get my music burned to a disk in .mp3 format from .m4p. I keep trying in iTunes but haven't been successful yet using a dvd-rw. Not sure if it makes a difference so I will try a cd-r in a minute. The only current way to get the songs DRM free is by subscribing to iTunes Match. From what I understand it scans your library, upgrades lower bit versions of songs and allow you to download DRM free versions of your purchased tracks. $25 a year upfront.

The official way is to make Music CD disks from iTunes - basically the M4P is turned into a WAV file and you get to put 12 or so on a CD. You lose all the tags, then you can re-rip to MP3. There are some software solutions (I have seen ads) but i have not tried them.

Yeah, every time I rip them though there are large discrepancies on the time for each track. They are in unprotected format after but some cut off halfway and others last longer than they should with just blank audio. For example Free Fallin by Tom Petty is 4:16 on iTunes but 14:25 on the disk. It is just blank for the extra 10 min while other tracks are cut off with not enough time. I don't understand... This is quite the pain and I'm now out of disks.

DVD Fab has itunes DRM removal built into it. I think they have a free trial of it, not sure though.
