Music Directly to your phone.. Anyone?

I might be an ass to find old threads.. But Im pretty sure looked around a lot.. And by a lot, I mean a half pack og fags.. So..
Is there any App og wat (other than surf some site) to download music directly to your phone? And if its free I would be a more than happy.. Im pretty broke after christmass..

...
I mean I would be happy to pay for the App, just not giving thos ritch music Gypsy's any of my gold.. Wich basicly mean Im never gonna pay for the music it'self.. Never!

A quick google search finds this http://www.wmtorrent.com/home_index.html if you want to use bit torrent to go about stealing yourself some music.
How do you go about it at the moment on your PC?

Unless I'm massively misinterpreting you, I don't think the forum rules will let anyone tell you where to download music for free on the 'down low' as it were. I'm sure you can figure that out on your own if you feel like breaking the law. You could try streaming your music collection from your PC to your phone, however. Winamp Remote will do that, or you could buy a spotify premium subscription and stream stuff you don't have, ad-free over the air.

[Q] Vcast music license

Anyone know exactly where the licenses are saved for vcast music purchases? I don't want to lose them again and have to go through the process of going through verizon to get them back. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Simple, only partially helpful answer: don't buy music through vcast. Thee are tons of other, mostly DRM-free options out there.
The fact that you're in fear of losing said licenses is a pretty good indicator.

yeah I know, vcast is a pain, I'm talking about the purchases I already have. I usually use itunes...now

there's a bunch of free music download apps on the market if you ever decide to go the free route, but i'm sensing you're a music nut that wants the high bitrate versions.

I don't know if thats a compliment or insult, so I will say thanks and HOW DARE YOU! Haha, anyway, yes, I like my high quality music. My phone is my ipod.

Google Music Beta is live.

http://music.google.com/. Go get an invite.

Another "Outside of U.S need not apply" situation.
How can I continue to exercise my Google fanboidom?!

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.google.android.music&feature=search_result

How long did they take to send the invite? I've requested one through a proxy, with Google Voice i received it in minutes...

Was there an app for this already on the A500 ? Yesterday evening I turned on the tablet and right away it had an update from google music. I never noticed the widget before until I saw the update.

Right, the app is already on our tablets (which I linked to a few posts up) and if you visit the market, it might even tell you to update it - however the service - the cloud storage part - is by invite.
So, while you can use the app, it's local only.

How long does it take for an invite?

me wants invite!
I was swearing up and down after Engadget's review of this stuff this morning. They basically blamed Google for coming out with an app that doesn't meld with the ISP's outrageously stupid and unfair data tiers and caps. UNBELIEVABLE.

I have moved some albums into the a500 music folder from my computer. I looked everywhere on my tablet and cant find anything that I moved but I can see them in the folder on my computer what gives ?

Has anyone gotten in!!!! i'm begging them to let me in!!!!!

Nothing yet...

I requested an invite on the 10th and haven't heard anything back yet either.

You should keep submitting. With the same email. Over and over and over again... (;
We're rootin' fer'ya!

I definitely can't wait for this to go public.
I love sticking it to the record companies for not being progressive and hugging their money.
DOWN WITH THE MAN!
That and I don't have to copy my music across many devices anymore...

I tried that approach but it only registers once and says only registered... Music is my favorite passtime it would make things alot easier

...
I got my invite today. I registered for it as soon as the invite link went live the day of Google I/O. I'm here at work so I haven't had a chance to play with it yet. I did active it though and when you're in activating it, it gives you the option of some free songs depending on the genre you like. Hopefully I can upload some of my music tonight and have a full report on this later.

Sounds good. Grats.
Even though I requested an invite, I won't use the service. I have all my music on my tab.

I got my invite yesterday. Deleted the free songs (um no thanks for the 100 songs I won't listen too).
There is a limit to 20,000 songs, found out yesterday my entire library is 29,000 plus songs.
Takes FOREVER to upload songs, BUT surprisingly there is WMA support in the cloud. They must be re-compressing stuff during the upload.
It's a pretty cool thing, but Audiogalaxy is MUCH faster.

Use the Amazon Cloud Music app. available right now and works just as well, if not better.

Yeah, except for the whole 5GB limit. Google Music has a 20k song limit...

Best MP3 Cloud service

What is the best free mp3 cloud service? Amazon cloud has a nice layout and streams nicely but only gives 5gb free. Microsoft skydrive gives 25gb but the player is pretty crappy and takes awhile to load. Are there any other free cloud drives similar to amazon with more memory?

Google Music. Free. Up to 20,000 songs. Listen on any computer or any Android device. Enough said.

Audiogalaxy IMHO, but you have to keep your computer on to stream your music.

google music sounds awesome but how do i get into the beta? anyone have an invite code?
thanks.

Goggle music beta hands down..... I don't think they're still doing invites (call me out if I'm wrong lol )

I'm not sure.... I use beta all the time and would hate to have to pay for it..... maybe they'll keep beta open to the people who already use it and just open up a new server for the paid accounts

If you don't have it yet, head to http://music.google.com to request an invite. Might take them a while to give you one though.

And who knows how long it will be in beta status. Gmail was in beta for over five years...and it is still free.

Thank dtugg for the link

amazon gives you 20gb storage "free" if you buy any album (not 5gb...)...

It does say "Music Beta is available free for a limited time." So they are at least implying their intent to charge for the service. If that actually comes to be is anybody's guess.

this could also imply that music beta is available for a limited time as well
trying to be optimistic hahaha

Haven't seen mspot mentioned. It's pretty good, with some odd restrictions (the music has to all come from the same computer, though it does get stored on their server).
I didn't realize you could stream with skydrive.

I really enjoy amazon cloud. It has web and android apps. It has very simple transfer from client to cloud and back. And every time I buy any music from amazon, it's right there for me. Size isn't an issue as I really only need my favorite songs accessable frm everywhere. 5gb would be enough but I easily buy an album a year which will keep my storage at 20gb.

Google has already stated at I/O that Google Music will not be a fully free service.
Amazon MP3 has a fast uploader, and if you buy a digital copy, there is no upload time at all - just hits your music library almost instantly.
I think the player is clunky and the UI kind of slugish on our phones and the Moto Xoom.
The playlist shuffle feature BLOWS on amazon
Google Music has a really great interface, well integrated with the device, but that damn uploader is so EFING SLOW!
Shuffle actually shuffles and does it nicely.

for a year only. Not sure if you'll have to buy another one to keep 20 Gb, but you'll have to pay for extra 15Gb. BTW the music that you bought at Amazon and store in their cloud does not count toward your total. That is another plus for them.
I do not think Google up-loader is slow. Last time I put two albums in my music folder and switched to Google Music site, they already were present there.
I like both services and wish for a Black/dark theme for Amazon player.

I vote for Google Music, it took me a week non stop to upload 9000+ songs and I have a 1.5Mbps upload speed at home.
I haven't found an easy way to upload via Amazon unless it has changed since I signed up when it first came out. You have to upload each album/song manually which is unlike google music which scans your folder that you select and uploads all the compatible music to the cloud, at it's own damn pace.

Google Drive Discussion

So for all of those who have tried out google drive, what do you think?
I have no issues dumping drop box but for now, I won't. It feels really clunky to me but I'm sure that will change over time.
My biggest beef with it right now, I can't select which folders to sync even though I picked a specific folder on the desktop G Drive app, it still shows up on android and there is no way to hide it. Very annoying that it syncs stuff that I don't want to see.
Secondly, I don't like how you can't save files from the G Drive app on android directly to the phone like you can with drop box. I use drop box heavily because I transfer files to and from my phone quite a bit (.zip files for flashing mods/tweaks/roms) This keeps me from having to plug in my phone every time I need to transfer files to and from my computer.
With G drive, I'm not able to do this. Unless I'm just overlooking it?
The first issue is just an annoyance, the second is a deal breaker for me.
I'll still use it for now but I'll still be utilizing drop box for the time being.
Anyone else have any thoughts on it?

I'd like to see the ability to auto upload pics like Dropbox has. This has saved me a few times!

Do you use google+ at all? I have that to auto sync all my pictures. Kind of redundant to use that feature for drop box so I don't.
I like to use G+ instead of drop box for folder because it automatically uploads it into picasa.

I still waiting on the email to say my Google Drive is ready.

G+/Picasa resizes them to 3MP (2048*1536) though, and with heavier compression too, you're losing a lot of detail if that's your only backup.

My problem with Google Drive is simple: I've never touched it, and only just heard about it yesterday, and yet somehow, mysteriously--nay, magically--it has appeared on my list of previously installed apps on the Play Store.
Screw that tactic, Google. You have the whole front page of the store to hawk your wares. Don't muddy my own library.

They transformed their google docs app to google drive. So if you already had the google docs app its logo changed and asks for an update

considering I have used G Docs regularly since 2004-2005, I really don't care what else they do to the Google Drive as long as they don't get rid of that basic functionality that they have always had and have done better than all competitors.
I do like the idea of uploading pictures, but do agree I would like it to be automatic like Dropbox. I realize G+ does it as well, but with pictures, especially if they are of children like 90% of mine are, can you have too many backups? I have my pictures uploaded everywhere.

It would be nice if all the Google products storage was all merged into drive. Access to your Picasa/google + photos, google music etc... just add all the space together.

I agree. That would be awesome to have everything in one place.

hmm
I just replaced my dropbox with Gdrive,.. w/o having used it at all, just thought I'd trust good ol' google. I'm seeing some quirks so far when it comes to syncing folders as it is still showing "sync" icon next to some files when the tray icon actually states that the syncing is complete. Definitely dropbox performs better at this moment imo.
