yes,using titanium ..with titanium you can backup, freeze, and remove completely any system app but be careful,wrongly remove app will make ur phone didn't boot
but spotify is not a system app.....it is a music streaming service......and people download it to listen to free music over the wifi.....so i'll give that a try....i'll let you know if it works.....thanks man.....

I noticed that the drm service (omadrmserviceconfig to be exact) is automatically turned on at booting on Froyo just like it did on Eclair.
Has anyone figured out if they fixed the battery draining issue for DRM in Froyo?

I just uninstalled it with SDX Stock App Remover. I noticed there are only two files to remove now instead of three.

I wouldn't uninstall it. it turned out to be the root of some crazy problems I was having. But I do kill the process pretty much every time I boot.
for reference.. here was the loneliest thread on xda with 'said' problem.

I noticed I only had to delete two files this time as well. I always delete it and it doesn't cause me any problems, but I don't play ay drm music.

It looks like the DRM service is draining the battery in Froyo like in Eclair.
I'm getting better battery life after disabling the service.
I'm surprised that nobody brought this up in a separate thread.
EDIT: I guess the thread mentioned above by decalex IS about this exact issue... sorry, missed that.
I've also heard from someone that deleting those apk's related to DRM will cause problemsin Froyo,
so I think it's better off just preventing the service from starting.
So I tried using the Startup Cleaner 2.0 app from the Market to disable the DRM service.
At first it seems to be working well, but after a while the omadrmserviceconfig starts up again.
Deleted the Startup Cleaner 2.0 app as soon as I found that out.
For the moment, I'm just disabling the DRM service manually (Settings -> Applications -> Running Services)
every time I do a reboot.
Anyone have any suggestion on automatically preventing the DRM service from starting?
BTW, thanks for your replies guys.

I'm on 2.1 still but I've been using startup auditor free from the market to stop this process at startup. It only allows you to block 5 apps with the free version but it has been working for me ever since I installed it.
I used to disable the DRM service every time I rebooted but eventually I stopped because I got sick of doing it and my battery performance did not seem to take a hit. I am leaving it enabled on Froyo as well and get good battery life. Maybe the DRM bug only effects some phones.

This seems to be the case. There was no noticeable decrease in battery performance on my phone in DI18 and Froyo.
(I've posted this reply before on a similar thread, but I thought I'd share my 2 cents with you here...)
You're not the only one running into this issue.
I ended up rooting my Epic to get rid of all the sprint bloatware and what-not. Everything seemed to be going smooth from the stock standpoint. I removed Samsung Media hub first. Rebooted the phone and noticed nothing bad. Played around with the setup like that for a few days with no problems.
I next got rid of both the DRM service .apk's that were still running even after I got rid of the media hub... and then the problems started. For the first couple days I noticed DRAMATICALLY IMPROVED battery life and EXTRAORDINARY performance so I imagined what I did was a good thing: WRONG! A few days later, I noticed that if I assigned a sound to a notification or a ringtone *from the SD card*, that it would not work. I couldn't play sounds anymore and instead whenever I went to adjust the volume with said notes/tones selected, the Sound_service would crash.
However, I'm the only person I knew before now who has reported this issue so I'm sure there's not a lot of hubob to fix it. Every Epic is built different. Same parts or not. It's a mass-manufactured phone and each one will have its own quirks. There's my 2 cents.

Are you saying you don't run into any problems or force closes in system apps when frozen instead of uninstalled?
I wouldn't delete those apks due to malfunctions with the app market and force closing of the vending app

And freezes in anything that plays audio or video.
Now everytime I boot I just go to the running services menu and disable the drm, alarm, and google messaging services.

I've noticed the freezing in the built-in apps, but when I use third party apps to mix and crossfade tracks (PartyMixer) or just play music and videos (MixZing), they don't freeze.
It still makes me wonder though, why a system service that's not running doesn't crash the system, but uninstalling it does. Why should it make a difference if the service isn't being accessed? Stupid...
Whatever. I've just been disabling it on every reboot. Batt life is a little better, but still batt. life is *max* when I uninstalled all DRM crap.

So instead of deleteing the APK, if I just take it out of autostart, I assume that is OK???
ALSO, What the hell does it do??? lol

I think DRM = Digital Rights Management. It is some kind of security service that is tied to the Market and anything Media related (on the Epic). You should get Titanium or Bloat Freezer from the Market and just freeze it. Don't delete or uninstall it.
I reporting back on something I stumbled on yesterdays after updating to the latest CM7 2.3.3 build. After updating I have been removing the sock music app then replacing it with the Honeycomb version. Upon that I was prompted with several permissions request and accepted them all. Syncing then started and I checked that under that under Account and Sync notice Music was syncing. This synced overnight. I put in a empty SDcard in. Then I went in to the Jumper Test that comes along with the Music app started the peer under the Controls tab, Ran a test under the Logs tab ( showed 785 files and the files names below) went back to the music app then went to music settings and checked Stream Music and my music started to show up! Played a few songs no problems at all. Let me know if this is working for anyone else.
*EDIT*
So I guess this inst working anymore. I did test this when I originally posted this but i cant get it to work anymore. Sorry guys not yet
is there a way to access those files from a computer too? i mean since its synced in the cloud, could be really useful.

If your objective is to have your music available everywhere, try AudioGalaxy. it streams to computers, android and iDevices.
How did you replace the app? I tried to but the honeycomb music just keeps FC'ing
As far a a URL to go to on a computer I haven't found anything. Ill post the apk i used when I get by a computer sometime later. Basically I just used root explore to delete the stock music app then installed the honeycomb player.

Gotcha. Did that, syncing now...
So, I have a question..
If you already have these songs on your phone, why would you want them "put them in the cloud", so you can play them on your phone, where they are already???????

So you don't have to keep gigs of music on your ad card. This is great news!
If they're in a cloud they dont need to be on his phone. In return he saves space on his memory card. However, if they're not on your phone they're not going to play when you dont have a connection.
I wonder if running a logcat during sync would reveal where this cloud is?
ah, that makes sense..
although, I have a 32 gig card, so i dont care that I have 10 gigs of music on my card..
Plus, thats a good point about not being able to play your music if your connection goes south...
Wait does this download the songs back into the SD card or does it stream your synced music from the cloud?

Is it force closing when you opened after install or after you tried to sync your music? If its force closing after install download it again. It works for me.

well i dont have any of those ****ty widgets running and only really use one homescreen. dont have many apps running as services either apart from whatsapp. i do tend to kill stuff like EventManager and SetupWizard that like to pop back up in running services from time to time. saves about 15-25mb.
