PC music program - G2 and Desire Z General

Hi guys,
I used to manage all my music with itunes on my computer, however I recently uninstalled it cos I got so pissed off about it constantly crashing and eating all my cpu - pc is a lot faster now.
I was wondering what alternatives there are? Preferably one with good android integration...
I know this thread doesn't really have anything to do with the G2 but not sure where else to post.
Thanks

WinAmp.
Nuff Said.

Or media center too lol

The best player is foobar2000 (no contest) though it requires some patience. It is not an out-of-the-box experience

I've begun using double twist ever since I picked it up on the market during the sale.

Because they are illegal and the one you are talking about is no longer in the Android market.
oh... lol. oh well. is there anything thats not amazon?
I use beemp3.com
but the CD
Ummmm .... use your PC rip from the cd you own and transfer to phone ??
Or
Buy using your PC and transfer to phone ....
just a couple of options.
Just curious, why use phone data and battery when most of us have broadband at home, don't think I have ever wanted a song sooooo bad I could not wait till I got home to download it ... ...
Try NanoGroove. It's the ****.... $4.99 I think.

New Galaxy S owner with questions

Hi There,
I've just got my Galaxy S today, used to have a HTC Desire.
First problem I had was connecting to Kies. W7 x64 didnt like it, but turn the phone on while the usb was plugged in solved this.
Now for my second problem. Using my HTC Desire, I bought various apps from the market, but some of these such as Caligo Chaser can't be found when I search the market. How can I solve this?
Third: Kies tells me that "This mobile phone is not supported by Samsung Apps" and won't let me download some of the apps i want through there. What can I do?
I also want to use the podcast widget in kies, but when I enable it it tells me "Available after updating to the latest version" even though I have the latest version of Kies. What's wrong?
I would really like to use keys because managing my music and videos works fine.
Regards,
Lyno
I'm a former desire owner and very dissappointed GS owner. How have you found this device compared to desire? My experience has been one of great dissappointed.
I'm totally the opposite!
I love the screen, the video capability and the overall performance.
totally wipes the floor with my desire.
I take it you have issue with the lag ging freeze, ram issue, or gps?

I've been using it intensely, running all sorts of apps and 720 videos and as of yet, no lagging.
What's the RAM issue?
Not tried GPS yet, will do today.
What about the apps that don't appear?
This is driving me crazy! I keep checking out these forums, trying to figure out what problems are really going on with this device and it's insane how some folks are having issues that if are real, should be happening to all but that doesn't seem to be the case. I have an iPhone 4 and although it's nice, it's lacking in so many features I would call basic. I also have an Evo that has build quality issues but overall performs well. I hate the looks of the Droid X and so I'm trying to decide on the SGS, Evo and iPhone 4.
Going to check out the Captivate today in store and really give it some testing and look for some of the issues mentioned on this forum.......

Here's an issue that no one mentions but is definitely prevalent. Not all headphones with inline mic work on the SGS. I got pissed that my vmoda vibe duo sounded like pure crap but the headphones included worked fine. After a quick forum search I found out that alot of users experience this problem and as far as I know, there's no way to "know" which headphones (with inline mic) will work for sure. There's a "dirty fix" which is to tape down the talk button on the mic but i'd rather not have to deal with that.
I told my bud working at AT&T to check to see if the Captivate has that problem but he only had access to the stock headphones at the time...I'll update if he confirms or denies the same issue on the Captivate

Not sure if you have flashed a new ROM yet but this sounds like you cannot see protected apps (some, but far from all paid apps are protected). Could you post your ROM versions (dial *#1234# to see them). If this is an issue with the protected apps, there is a solution in my FAQ thread.

I personally find it impressive that you got Kies to recognize your phone correctly in Windows 7 x64. I have done everything short of a complete Windows reinstall. So far without success. I personally find it one of the biggest shortcomings of Samsung regarding this phone. Software support this crappy belongs in the previous century and is simply ridiculous in the year 2010!
Im using win7 x64 and kies works ok. I had to install twice because the first time i plugged the phone in too soon and that fubarred the driver install.

I guess I'll add this to the list of things to consider when testing the Captivate. It really seems like there are people who get the device and don't want to hear about problems like parents who don't want to hear about their children doing wrong. Every device has some type of problems but there should be no issues with talking about any problems in a place like this......
So first of all about Kies ... it is not really supporting the android phone if I undesrtood well
For instance the samsung app are not android app
That's why it say's that your phone is not recognized
I think we will have to wait for a new version of Kies
On my side it doens't work on my vista 32 but it doens on another desktop on vista 64.
I already re installed the soft 3 time but still have the problem of MTP failed ( and WM11 doens't work neither )
I had no problems with Kies in Win7 x64 and identifying my device.
I have a problem with Kies in general. It sucks.
win7 64 and kies worked ok for me on me laptop and desktop. but your right it is pants!
I haven't really used Kies yet. What is it supposed to do?

Yeah I know what you mean. Tested the vibrant today with iphone headphones and they didn't have the same issue. I showed the chick working at the t-mobile store what I meant with my own phone and she was pretty surprised at that problem.
My at&t bud told me he told his product manager and she tested it and it was fine. He's gonna personally test it tomorrow as well.

Just began to play around!

Wow! So far my first initial impressions with the Streak unlocked is very good! I never played with an Android phone, but this one is blowing me away with what it can do compared to my iPhone 4. I love how much control I get with this device. For the first couple of hours, I was getting error messages when browsing sites about server redirects and also noticed the screen was never auto rotating on 2.2. I found the Dell package update and now I am loving the browser and the rotation works perfectly! So far I downloaded the Dolphin HD and Firefox Browser, but prefer the Dolphin. I also synced my iTunes library and photos using Double Twist. I bought some games - Fruit Ninja, psx4droid and snesnoid. I only tried psx4droid which runs very well. I read a few online comics using flash and played some music listening from it's very loud rear speaker. I really like it. I am still trying to figure out how to add words to Swype, but eventually will figure it out. All I need to do now is find a good podcast player that does the 2x speed like my iPhone and somehow get Netflix playing on it and the phone/tablet will be perfect. I love how portable it is compared to my wife's iPad. I can actually fit it easily in my pocket and use it for real web browsing and book reading on the Kindle app! Does anyone think buying a magazine subscription on Zinio is worth it?
I think this is the post your talking about I pulled my build prop from my phone and it didint have the suggested value thou heres the link. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11268565&postcount=1201
I think vlara has got the wrong thread...
Glad to hear stories like yours! welcome to android!
You can use playon to stream netflix from your PC, i haven't tried it yet but you can there is a trial period for it.
As for zinio, if your into magazines go for it. There are some magazines you can download for free, try one of those out and if you like it, buy it

Performance Fix. I am running 318 with the performance fix and it works well for me.
Installing any of Steve's ROM's requires that you flash a replacement recovery, see this guide at streakdroid.com.

[Q] Offline oriented ROM

Hi Guys,
I recently canceled my Sprint account and now I find myself with a paperweight that looks a lot like an Evo 4g. I was thinking about throwing another stck of RAM in it and start using it strictly as a media player for MP3s and maybe some video. I was wondering if there are any ROMs geared towards using an Evo in this manner? Meaning, disabling the service activation screens, searching for service pauses, etc. I have seen a few other articles on this subject but not really any solutions. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

I will recommend the CM ,I have it in a Nook color and is awesome.
plus is very configurable and you can make it look more like a media player or mini tablet then a phone.

I don't think you can replace the memory on the phone unless you meant the sd card
I think he meant a SD card. Either way, I understood. What he was saying.

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.

does this require a paid subscription for google music to be paid and on at all times?

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
