if you search for samsung media hub free 50 youll find a metric fuuuuuuucktonne of things saying the same thing

its legit i got mine back in December and quite honestly.. i barely used it... the media hub was a huge let down...
can only d/l on wifi or 4g.... when u do down load it tells u u have a certain amount of time (like a month) but once u start watch your d/l ... u only have 24 hrs to watch it complety b4 it expires and disappears... so if say u sart watching it while travellin and get your destination before u finished watching, u only have the rest of that day to finish seein it before its gone...
also the stuff u can d/l with that credit is very limited.. either old films seen or not interested in, or very limited recent releases that and all pretty common and have been seen already... and non of the tv programing or anything else..
now its my credit is expiring and i only used like 4-6 bucks on it...

I only watched one movie and the quality was great but the whole concept of how the rentals work sucked about as bad as not getting Froyo yet. I let $46 expire because I forgot about it. It would have been nice if they would have sent out a reminder email letting you know it was going to expire. Oh well free is free. Waiting for the Netflix Android app.

Well, an update... Cant play videos cant view my media fprce closes if I try to do said things.. Awesome! Great work samsung /sarcasm

I got.my code and its not very good. You are limited to the selection if using the $50 free code. It expires once you activate the.code.like 30 days later. I have lime 13 movies I purchased the.day my code expired that I have to still dl and watch.lol I wont they will just expire. The media Hub and free codes suck

Ya I did it.. its not limited to just the 50 section but it is limited to just renting movies not tv shows... the timeframe you get is wack.. never got to finish one movie.. except for get him to the greek, rotfl, had to watch that one in bed before it expired...

Yeah MediaHub sucks. I didn't really expect much in the first place. I expected movies and videos to cost way more than they were worth. The real travesty to me is this freaking Netflix app. Come on already!!

I bought 300, tried to all share it but couldn't so I didn't watch it.
2 days later I bought it again, watched the intro, then cut it off.
A week later I bought it, watched the whole thing, then bought v for vendetta and watched it.
Its free money! Buy things just to buy! Lol

Wait, folks are still waiting for invites?!
I've had mine set up for a couple weeks now (maybe cuz I used to have a Xoom they sped my invite up...) and am loving it. Been using the web software at work to listen to music. Then switch to my phone for the drive home (streaming over the webz).
Either way, it uploaded about 2/3 of my 33 gig collection. Apparently there's a 20 gig limit...

You sure about that? If you look at the settings it allows you to upload 20000 songs. I have 46.5 gigs of music and thats only around 10000 songs. I know it didnt upload some of my music due to DRM. I've been uploading for 4 days and its at about half lol

Yeah I saw that limit and I certainly haven't come close to the 20000 songs yet, but it inexplicably won't scan above the 2gig mark for me. Maybe I need to figure out a way to re-add the missing songs

yes, people with tablets got their invites faster than others.

I can't seem to get shuffle to work on my phone. It will just keep repeating the same song. Maybe because my music isn't cached yet? Odd, but otherwise pretty awesome.

Is there a way to select what to upload and what not to?

received my invite yesterday still uploading music but its worth it. best app i have used in a while. does anyone have an idea of how much it will cost? its says its free for now?

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.

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.

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.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

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.

Youtube purchases?

logged into youtube for the first time since using my Nexus 4, and it shows that i have 3 new purchases today. I have not made these purchases and can not find any charges on my credit card (that i use for online stuff) or my Wallet account. anyone else see this?
I know this is a stab in the dark, but worth a shot.

well, i found them, loks like my phone automatically snagged them in an update somewhere...
odd but free.
found in the play store order info screen along with some books and music...

Looks like they're doing what they did with the N7 I guess. N7 owners got transformers and some other junk like that for free.

I don't like the idea that the phone can do things like that without my permission. I mean if it can make purcases (that are free) what's to keep the same thing from happening for items that are not free?

Dude, they're just gifts from Google. Items that are automatically added to your account when you register a new Nexus device. The device didn't make any "purchases"--it didn't go out into the store and press buttons behind your back--these are just things that Google gifted into your account, and that's just how these gifts show up in your account, as so-called free "purchases" (they gotta show up somehow, right?).

How did you access your purchases on your nexus 4 in the youtube app ?

The way I did it was on the computer access the purchases then move those purchases to Favorites, then in the app, click on your profile then it should be there but only thing is that it says unsupported playback or something. What can I do to watch them on my phone?

Remove iTunes DRM for use with S4

Can anyone recommend a good free converter that will change my .m4p files to mp3 for use with my S4 / other devices. I hate restrictions on the stuff I PAID for. Looks like I may have just installed a faulty program trying to search myself. Any help would be appreciated
Sent from my AT&T Galaxy S4 Running AOKP 4.2.2

I haven't worked with m4p files in a LONG time, but back when I was in college, I used to make "CDs" out of them with an old application that made sort of an iso of the CD format, and just ripped in back into mp3 format. Ended up create a small script that would do that for a list of songs. I'm pretty sure someone has created an app to do that by now. If all else fails, you can go at it the old fashion way - burn and rip.

I think this is against XDA rules man. As much as you might have payed, you payed for licensing from Apple and they dictate the terms

I wasn't exactly looking to send all my music out for free in a share network. Just looking to get it to work on my PERSONAL device. I understand where you are coming from though. Talking with Apple now as I believe you used to be able to burn your songs to a disk in mp3. Not sure if it's because I am trying to do it with a data dvd-rw but each time the songs remain in the same format. Love the benefits I get for actually paying for my music. Not trying to do anything shady haha. Just looking for my music on my device

I still buy all my music from itunes and it has always worked on my android phones. IIRC Apple convered to non-DRM many years ago. Anything you bought before that they gave you an option to convert (for a price).

Just got off the phone with a rep and I should be able to get those older tracks dmr free in the way of redownloading. The songs unfortunately are too far back to be listed for direct download in my purchase history. I have to go on chat support and give all the individual order numbers listed in my invoice looking purchase history. Certainly not ideal, but better than nothing.

I tested it out with my account, and anything that I purchase back when I owned a 3GS remains DRM'd. If Apple's willing to help you, that's awesome. There might be some issue about when you bought it and what the EULA was back then. Hopefully Apple can help you through that.
On a side note, Amazon MP3 FTW!

Back off a long chat with support.
iTunes plus has been discontinued and I have yet to get my music burned to a disk in .mp3 format from .m4p. I keep trying in iTunes but haven't been successful yet using a dvd-rw. Not sure if it makes a difference so I will try a cd-r in a minute. The only current way to get the songs DRM free is by subscribing to iTunes Match. From what I understand it scans your library, upgrades lower bit versions of songs and allow you to download DRM free versions of your purchased tracks. $25 a year upfront.

The official way is to make Music CD disks from iTunes - basically the M4P is turned into a WAV file and you get to put 12 or so on a CD. You lose all the tags, then you can re-rip to MP3. There are some software solutions (I have seen ads) but i have not tried them.

Yeah, every time I rip them though there are large discrepancies on the time for each track. They are in unprotected format after but some cut off halfway and others last longer than they should with just blank audio. For example Free Fallin by Tom Petty is 4:16 on iTunes but 14:25 on the disk. It is just blank for the extra 10 min while other tracks are cut off with not enough time. I don't understand... This is quite the pain and I'm now out of disks.
