New app for Sirius on market place. Can anyone install this and confirm it as being compatible on EVO. It was one of the apps I was worried about losing when I drop the iphone next week for the EVO.
http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/28/sirius-xm-android-app-hits-the-market/
Thanks.
Why would it not work?
dont know. just going off of what i read in the article. said something about list of confirmed devices. so....
doesnt hurt to have a confirmation.
I downloaded this app on my EVO 4G. It works fine.
awesome. thanks.
is it xm or sirius?
Both. Same company now.
I just got an email from Sirius yesterday that there Android App is out. I was so excited. It should work on the EVO. I had it on my TP2 and loved it. I can't wait to get my EVO next week.
works on my HTC Touch running Android too.

I verified it. It is running XM. Though they are the same company now and have merged many of their channels, they still have a few subtle differences. Mainly for me, I like to listen to the Opie and Anthony show. It's available on XM, but if you have Sirius, you have to pay more for the best of XM package.
works on my htc hero. wonder how much for a scrip. to just stream to your phone?
I'm pretty sure you have to get a full subscription, and then the add on to be able to stream.
for me, its no big deal. i already got the sub since i have it in my jeep. but i added the stream add on for when i'm in my wifes car, or at work. i know a lot of people like slacker and pandora, and i do to. but for 3 bucks a month, its a good option also.
I have it in my car and online at the beginning was always free with having it in your car than they changed it.. So I've had a subscription for a while. I just got offered a deal when my sub was up if I prepaid for a year.

It's running perfect. Listening to Zeppelin now.
Loads quick and good quality.
I can't even locate the app in the Market. Typed in 'Sirius' 'XM' 'satellite' 'radio' ... nothing
On what phone Android the Hero? I can't wait to get my EVO. My new Jawbone Icon is suppose to play MP3's and Podcast so I hope it works for Sirius. On my TP2 it was under the market place under Sirius I believe. But for my Android I got an email link I think where to get it from..

My review:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6863627&postcount=9
Sirius would be such a great company/service if they did ANYTHING or added even ONE suggestion to their devices from their customers. It's too bad, such a great idea for music and uncensored talk, but of course run by NYC a-holes...
I'm I blind or is there no Howard 100 in this app?? Come on, half your subscribers are here for that channel alone!
From the e-mail I got from Google, I've aparently been invited because I own the Xoom 3g, and am currently paying for 3g service from Verizon.
But whatever the reason, I got the invite.
I still haven't recieved the update for my Xoom yet, and I don't think you can get the Music app in the app store until the update, so i've been forced to try the beta in "Browser" which is a bunk.
As far as desktop goes, it works well, but on the Xoom, it lags a little, and will only play the music if the tab for the player is open. (which really I guess is to be expected, and why there is an app for it.)
Regardless, it is quite simple to use, and in itself, is a very simple layout. There isn't really anthing special, it reminds me of itunes (as far as strictly listening to music, not including the store and all the extra jazz.) They have what they call "Instant Mixes" which is pretty much the genious mix in apple, except it will only create a 25 song playlist.
One nice thing about it, is whatever player you choose it to upload your songs with, it carries over the playlists.
There is a "New and Recent" section beside Album, Song, Genre, and Artist like on the Xoom. Also, a small but nice selection of free songs that you can choose to have imported into your cloud when you sign in the first time.
I really will have to wait till I can test the app to make any final decisions on this.
As far as I'm concerned, cloud based music storage is pretty much useless to me. I can survive with 5-10 gigs stored onto my Xoom that I can listen too without ever needing to connect to the internet. (I don't need to use my 10$ a gig data from verizon for something that should be free) Once we get our SD slot working, this will become especially true. It is cool to be able to have your music anywhere in the world, but not if you think that you have to pay Google for this service, then pay for the data while using the service.
But I will go at it with an open mind for anyone that would find this of interest, because well, I guess it's part my duty since I recieved an invite. If you also recieved an invite please let me know what you think about it.
I got in the beta as well. The biggest thing for me when it comes to cloud music is not worrying about transferring music to my devices or computers anymore. I'm always worried about backing up my music and syncing across all my computers. Now if I reformat any of my devices be it tablet, phone or laptop I can get my music from anywhere and redownload it if needed.

No, only google can invite.
It is weird... i got on the Music page before the keynote and signed up for the Beta with the same email as the one my Xoom is connected to and I still haven't gotten anything.... kinda sucks.... maybe that caused everyone to assume we were just another user instead of Xoom users

See, I don't think you will get an invite just for owning a xoom..... Here is exactly how the e-mail inviting me was phrased (Please note, i did not sign up for an invite, i just got it)
Hello Motorola XOOM user,
We'd like to tell you about some changes to the Music player on your tablet. The latest app update now supports Music Beta, a new service from Google. As a Verizon Motorola XOOM user, you’ve been extended an early invitation to beta test this service.
Music Beta lets you store your personal music collection online and access it instantly without the hassle of wires or syncing.
Enjoy your music anywhere — listen on any web browser, your Motorola XOOM, or any other device running Android 2.2 or higher.
Save your favorite albums, artists, and playlists on your smartphone or tablet so you can keep listening even when you're not connected.
Create your own custom playlists or build them automatically from a single song.
Note also that is says Verizon Motorola XOOM user... I guess this could be explained by any 3g model, but I actually have my data active, so I imagined that's why I received the invite.

Not that I can see. I have yet to receive the 3.1 update, but I received the invite, signed up, and also downloaded the updated Music app from the market. I haven't uploaded any songs yet, but I can stream the two dozen or so tracks they gave me for free. Works well, pretty simple, audio quality is actually pretty decent - on the Xoom speakers, haven't tested on my Sennheiser headphones though.

Oh, so it's just an update to the stock music player I need?
I have active data on my 3G xoom w/ Verizon also, so it's weird they would pull random people, but I guess that may not be weird. I have 3.1 on my xoom after doing the force push update from BRD. I also have the new beta music app on both my tablet and my phone lol. I have not received an invite though...What I do like is the ability to get movies through the Android Market but I don't think that's part of this?
Oh well then
I pay for 3G service on my Xoom as well, and I haven't gotten an invite, or the dam update!
lol
Should be noted my 3g xoom has never had vzw service and I got the xoom invite email.

Well I guess they're doing some kind of random invite...
So i guess a good question is, have any WiFi Xoom owners gotten the email with out requesting an Invite?
At I/O, Google said that Music was a beta program with a limited audience initially: all attendees got an invite. There are two components: the new player, and the backend service. I believe they are independent of one another, such that you can download the Music Beta app in the Market but still not be admitted to the beta of the service.
Apologies if this was all already obvious: I just wanted to clarify for folks in case it wasn't clear as there are a few moving parts.

I believe you are correct. Anyone can download the updated Music app from the Market, but unless you got an invite and signed up, you can't use the whiz-bang features of the Music beta service.
On both my EVO and Xoom, I was able to update the app and signed into it thanks to the invite I received.
Ya I have activated 3g Xoom on Verizon so I am unsure as to WTF is going on lol
I have the 3G Xoom but do not pay for the service, and I've had it since day 1. I'm not rooted, and I have not received the 3.1 update yet.
I requested an invite for Music before the keynote Monday with my main gmail account. I have 2 other accounts tied to my xoom, but I initially signed into my xoom with my main account.
About 30 minutes ago, I got an invite to Music in one of the secondary accounts tied to my Xoom (one I did NOT request an invite with).
Currently uploaded about 500 songs, about 18k to go. This is exciting!
Now I just need my 3.1!

Well however they're doing it, I'm glad I got the invite as it works quite well. I don't know about other cloud services as I have not tried them, but the way all the music stored on the cloud and all that is stored on your XOOM blend together in the same app is sweet.
Unfortunately I am still waiting on my update. I just wanted to add that.
Got two invite e-mails (24 hours apart) so ok. But no 3.1 update.

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 )

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

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.

Dear all!
Good evening (at least on my time zone lol )
As title suggests ever since like 2011 i have gone from galaxy s 2 to iphone 5 then iphone 6 and right now on an amazing white s7 edge that has just swept my heart !!
What i need you help is with is re-adapting to the eco-system..
As u can see i was long adapted to apple's ecosystem for buying mostly music..now i transfered via otg from iph6 to my gs7e all the music but my question is..how do i buy stuff now??
i do know that i can buy everything off google's store but that will just leave me with a horrible half assed library on 1 apple account and another half assed library barely started at a google account..
I also know i can just buy subscription and steam like anything for free, but my country charges almost 150euros/month for 2 GB of data pla..and thats a direct rape right there..thats why i buy music from the stores..please help me find a solution..
acceptable solution would even be to buy music off itunes on my desktop pc and somehow just transfer the songs not already on my s7e..
Please for your input! Thank you for welcoming me back to the community and sorry for the wall of text <3

You could try transferring your music to Amazon music if you are prime. Or if I remember right google play music can do the same(not sure if you need an abo). And than download the music for offline use.
Google play music allows you to install something on your Mac which allows you to then upload your entire iTunes library into the cloud. From there you can then stream your Google music on Google play music on your Android device. Or you can choose to download that same music onto your phone from the cloud.

Not for music you already own. If you upload your own library you can stream and sync it for free. Paid subscription is for radio streaming and music you don't already own

I've never heard of anyone you listed and I listen to a wide variety of music. Also not sure how this is a Pixel issue.
If you're trying to refer to the passive song recognition, it sure a limited number of popular song profiles on the device, and I don't anyone on your list made the cut.

Yes you would think that the list will eventually get updated. Just making a casual observation about the current state of music. Seeing how much King Crimson has contributed to the music scene (Influenced the Talking Heads, Blondie, David Bowie, Peter Gabriel, Tool and Primus to name a few), you think it would make the cut.
For those living in the European Nation, please take the time to see King Crimson next summer when they will be touring the area.
I found out about King Crimson through the Howard Stern show back in the day. Loved them ever since.
I agree. It only ever recognises famous songs that everyone already knows the names of!

It's not the best with recognising old school music. While it does recognise bands like Floyd and Beatles, it has its issues with the unknown bands. It's more up to date with the current music which to be honest I don't care. It's also region dependet I guess as I'm from India and it recognises indian songs with ease. I guess it will improve in time, I hope Google updates their database with older music and less famous music too.

Just use the full song recognition in the assistant. You already knew the lock screen feature was limited on the song data base.
I've never of any of them either.
When I use my sonicare toothbrush, now playing identifies the buzzing sound as some song I've never heard of. Try it! :silly:
Just discovered that the Words With Friends app kills now playing on my device. Now playing works great until I open WWF and then will not work again until I reboot. Will work for days on end if I don't play Words With Friends.

If you have seen the new Xbox commercial you heard King Crimson. That's 21st Century Schizoid Man at end (Puff Daddy sampled the song in Power)
So far, I've been more than satisfied with the now playing feature. And I can only assume that Google will continue to improve upon it.
I've also never heard of any of them...
What I'd really like to see in Now Playing is a way to tag a song or add it to a list. I use SoundHound partly to find the name of a song I don't know but mostly so I have the search history of music i want to remember to find later on.
