[Q] google music beta syncing - Droid 2 General

Hey everybody,
Just curious if there was an ability to listen to the songs without dl'ing them to your phone... a streaming feature if you will. I think I had heard there was but I may have been hearing about something other than the google music beta.
Thanks

If you got the invite for Music Beta, then yeah, you stream the music you uploaded to the Cloud to your phone.

Amazon mp3 does this and you get a nice amount of free storage.

I'm pretty sure this not JUST a FroYo feature, but also a feature of http://www.android.com/ that is not yet active?
Yeah, I mentioned in another thread, but my guess is that the streaming, the music market and the snazzy red music player we saw in the demo will all come out at the same time...
I really hope we're not waiting months for it. I want music streaming!

music beta

so i just got my invite to the beta. has anyone else got one yet? the only android i got is the epic. i heard that only zoom owners were getting it. now it looks like they are letting others use the service.
I signed up but haven't heard anything, if they are inviting other epic users hopefully I will get one soon!

I am still waiting as well. I was hoping I could get in on it since I am on a tablet running Honeycomb, but no luck yet.

I also got my invite today. Ran through the "get started" on my computer but haven't messed with it on my epic yet.
Argh, waiting very anxiously for an invite! I need a way to stream my music library, but I don't really like how you have to upload every new song manually for Amazon MP3 Cloud Service.. Plus I've been having issues where Amazon uploads the same song multiple times for some reason. Hopefully Google will ease my pains! lol

You can use audiogalaxy to stream your music library. You do not need to upload anything. You install a audiogalaxy program on your PC, point the program to your music library, open up the audiogalaxy app on your Epic 4g and you can stream immediately over 3G, 4G, Wifi, or your desktop. Plus it scrobbles to Last FM. No uploading at all. The app is 100% free. I use it all the time.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.audiogalaxy&feature=search_result
Also there is no limit on how much you can stream. you have 40,000 songs, you can stream all 40,000
The only downside to this is that in order to stream, you must leave your computer with audiogalaxy background app on. Your computer is the cloud essentially. unlike Amazon and google's services where you are uploading it to their cloud locker.
To bad the Music streaming doesn't work on the Epic
At least not on EE03
Google Music app just got an update to 3.0.1.
get it on the Market.

I got invites on my 2 accounts today
tried using it... stopped getting sound on the first play and it gives me a google maps FC error. very beta
I personally use Amazon Cloud Player. It's been working well for me.
Looks like it's working on the stock epic.
I have all music that was on my home laptop listed and playing on my phone.
I haven't used all features yet but basic ones are OK.

[APP] Audiogalaxy Users?

Hey guys,
I was wondering if any of you use the app Audiogalaxy. It's a wonderful app for streaming your whole music collection from your computer to your phone. It works phenomenally (for the most part) and you are able to access as much of your music as you want without clogging up your sd card.
However, it appears that Audiogalaxy's server is down at this time. If anybody else out there uses this app, are you having issues too?
Also, they recently updated the app and I don't like the interface quite as much. They added some social networking features that are cool for some, but not my cup of tea. I was wondering if somebody still has the older (about 2 months ago) apk before the update.
EDIT: their servers are back online and all is good again. If you haven't given this app a try, it is well worth it. All 140 gigs of my music is now streamable from wherever I have a data connection. It does great on 3g.
Thanks all!
Cool bro ill check it out

I'm still waiting for my google music invite I'll check out subsonic too, thanks for the suggestion.
I was scared when all of the sudden audiogalaxy quit working on me. I got into work this morning wanting to play some music and I was left very disappointed. All is well again after lunch though
I just received my Google music beta invite so ill be checking that out when I get home. Do you have problems with your playlists not playing very randomly when set to random?

Xperia play music player.

Hey guys
I've an odd thing happening on my xperia play stock music app. It will suddenly stop mid song, thought maybe it was cause it was in my pocket and I knocked a button somehow. But today was happening while sitting face up on my desk.
Has also happened on my desire s, that had a custom rom so put it down to that. Anyone else experienced this?
Cheers

Damaged file perhaps? Have you tried playing the same song through to completion?
Sent from my R800i using Tapatalk
It happens to random songs, press play and the song continues. Don't think the songs are damaged. Very odd.
Sent from my R800i using Tapatalk
are you running a task killer?
Yes, but it's not automatic. Will remove it and see if it helps.
Sent from my R800i using Tapatalk
Nope its still happening, played the same song again and played fine. Very annoying indeed.

Try a diffrent media player, I use PowerAMP and have no problems like this, even when the screen is off
I run rooted stock music player, never had any issues whatsoever.

Wow, really? I had the same issue on my X10 too with the music player just stopping. Even in the foreground it would happen and I'd just unlock my phone and press play. But I've also had 'Listen' on both phones since day one.
I'll try the PowerAMP route first I guess. If that doesn't work I guess I can go the TB route and backup/uninstall unless there's another app for podcasts that anyone would care to recommend.
I had this happen once after restoring everything from a TB backup. I just uninstalled the music player and reinstalled one from market, i used the winamp one.
Use different player

i didnt like the stock music player, seems like it should of been more convenient , winamp is better and they support changing songs on the lock screen.

App to share music and chat?

I'm after an app that allows 2 phones to play the same music and chat at the same time? Has anyone seen one that can do this?
Not so bothered about the chat but want the music thing at work so me and a mate can listen to the same music, the chat would just make it funnier
