Music Directly to your phone.. Anyone?

I might be an ass to find old threads.. But Im pretty sure looked around a lot.. And by a lot, I mean a half pack og fags.. So..
Is there any App og wat (other than surf some site) to download music directly to your phone? And if its free I would be a more than happy.. Im pretty broke after christmass..

...
I mean I would be happy to pay for the App, just not giving thos ritch music Gypsy's any of my gold.. Wich basicly mean Im never gonna pay for the music it'self.. Never!

A quick google search finds this http://www.wmtorrent.com/home_index.html if you want to use bit torrent to go about stealing yourself some music.
How do you go about it at the moment on your PC?

Unless I'm massively misinterpreting you, I don't think the forum rules will let anyone tell you where to download music for free on the 'down low' as it were. I'm sure you can figure that out on your own if you feel like breaking the law. You could try streaming your music collection from your PC to your phone, however. Winamp Remote will do that, or you could buy a spotify premium subscription and stream stuff you don't have, ad-free over the air.

Amazon Cloud Music Service

Just alerting Evo owners (Android owners too) that Amazon just launched their Amazon Cloud Player and Android App. You get 5 GB for free and if you purchase a mp3 (just one will do and for .99 cents pretty cheap storage) you are automatically updated to 20 GB for one year. You can upload your existing music collection to the cloud and listen anywhere; home PC, phone, anywhere with an internet connection. It also allows you to store other files there as well (so they say but haven't checked out that option yet). There is an Android App to go with the program. No subscription fees. Pretty sweet deal if you ask me. Secures your music in case of hardware failure and has the potential to free up a lot of space on your SD card. If you want to pull your music back onto your phone to listen in a premium music player, thats doable too. Great concept and the price can't be beat. This should be especially useful to Sprint users with unlimited data plans. I uploaded 10 GB of music this morning from my computer over Wifi from home and will clean up my SD card from music I don't listen too that often. I think it's a great utility and let's you manage your own library of music pretty liberally.

When they sell flac then I'm in. Until then ill pass

Im thinking about this but i want see what apple and google offer next.

A whole 20 gig? That wouldnt even house my music with artists starting with A. Do these people really think people have that little music? Ive been buying CDs since the 90s and ripping them. At 320K, it doesnt take long to rack up some space.

Access your cloud
Hi, so If I upload all my songs to the cloud .. is there a mp3 player within the cloud that will play my songs, or do i need to download the song in order for it to play?

You can use the amazon mp3 app on your phone to play the music or use the web app on your computer.
Also if you purchase the $.69 album linked below you'll be upgraded to the 20 GB plan. 20 GB for $.69. EASY....

Just bought the Album and got upgraded to the 20 GB Cloud Space until March 29, 2012 cool beans!

No problem....

The best streaming service I've tried is mspot. It gives you 2GB free space but you can buy more, I fit alot more than 2GB in because it gives you an option of song quality to upload from the original format so I chose the lowest (its just a phone and sounds great even the website through my computer speakers), and best of all its all in the cloud, no need for your computer to be on to act as a server like other services.

I was up very late messing around with this last night. Honestly, I think it's an awesome move, and has thrown down the gauntlet to Google and Apple. Plus, 20GB is enough for me to fit all my most listened to music up there. I like that it streams in the songs original bitrate too.
A lot of people in the comments section on various sites keep mentioning Audiogalaxy as an alternative, but what sets this apart is your home computer doesn't have to be on and connected to the internet all the time.
I may move to Google Music when it comes out, but for now, for me, this is the cream of the crop.

You guys may want to be real careful on what you upload to CloudDrive for a while.
Seems Amazon is taking a "unique" approach to this cloud storage & streaming service. They are arguing that they dont need distribution licenses from RIAA because the service is more like a user saving files to an external harddrive, but in this case its the cloud.
They dont have a license agreement with ANY of the labels, which means that things will likely go south. RIAA and labels are likely going to sue Amazon and issue a C&D letter to get the service to stop. They may even get Amazon to turn over user info and lead to other headaches... Sony for one stated that they are "shocked & upset" over Amazon's new CloudDrive service and others are saying they cant believe a company like Amazon went ahead without securing licenses...
http://http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Amazon-faces-backlash-over-rb-3699819521.html
I would only store music previously purchased from Amazon or CDs that you own, just to be safe. Maybe I'm being paranoid, but I would bet that if Amazon doesnt secure some sort of licensing deal & tighten up their offerings, RIAA is going to bring lawsuits.

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.

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.

Sign Up For Spotify!

Hey guys click the link and enter your email address to sign up for Spotify. They are coming to the USA!
http://www.spotify.com/uk/coming-to-the-us/

Done! Thanks for the tip...

Thank you!

I can really recommend Spotify, I've been using it daily for the past three years here in Sweden. Also it's nice to have your music available on your computer, phone and Transformer.

I can't wait! I currently use Grooveshark which isn't bad but they're not great on reliability; they have some server/dropouts issues.
They also aren't great on customer complaints....
I'm REALLY looking forward to this.

Ghosttown the best music app on android

I already signed up for it. It's free right I'm not sure how Spotify works or anything. I know there is a paid option that allows local storage.
Although I already have Zune (Love it) so I dunno why I'd use this...oh right it'll work on my TF.

Far from it...lol....
If you are looking for accuracy of your chosen music it does a horrible job...it shows the album that the song came from and then it might (not always) play a cover by someone of that same song...it can't differentiate versions of songs...it's no different than putting in youtube "bruce springsteen darkness edge of town" and hopefully getting the right song.
Groove shark is better and Slacker is better. (but you have to put up with a different mix of "similar songs" if you don't want to pay)
I think it's worth 9.00 a month and I'm sure that Spotify will be very good (from what I've seen)

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.
