I'm thinking about buying a WearOS watch, but I want to know if it has an app to do what I'm looking for.
I'm looking for a music or podcast app that is simple, that can do 3 things (like a old-school mp3 player):
Can I manually upload audio files to the watch and play them with an existing app?
If so, could I upload an hours-long mp3 file, would I be able to listen to half on a jog, and then resume where I left off when I return to it the next time I jog?
Do the playback speed functions work for an uploaded audio file?
Thanks ahead of time!
To update, Wear Casts has all of the playback features I wanted, and I found Nav Explorer to quickly upload files from my pc via ftp over wifi. Very good setup!

Been using this, and it's great. Three questions
a) I can listen to podcasts OK by connecting via WiFi, browsing through the menu for podcasts and choosing one, however this seems to stream it over the WiFi - is there anyway to download the whole podcast so I can listen to it when I don't have WiFi access?
b) Videos that are formatted for my iPod don't play - I can hear the sound, but there is no picture. Does PP3 not play iPod-formatted .mp4 files?
c) Visualisations, browsing by genre/album and album name showing while the song is playing only seems to work if I'm listening to an mp3 file - for m4a files the song plays but I can't use these features?
Conduits has their own forum at http://www.conduits.com/community/forum_topics.asp?FID=19
Your best bet is to post your questions there.
Has anyone figured out a way to play externally downloaded podcasts (mp3s) using Google's "Listen" app?
(In other words, use Listen to play something that was not downloaded by the app)
I would love to know this too - if I download an mp3 of a podcast which is no longer hosted online can I somehow add it to the Listen app and listen to it through that or do I have to add it to the Music app?
I asked on the Google forums and it looks like it's impossible
The files have hidden information embedded or something so that Listen will pick it up.
I am looking for any tutorials on creating a audio player app.
Basicaly i want to create an app that lists a selection of song to play with controls to play stop etc.
I would guess what most do is play these from a server to save on app size? or do they put the audio in with the app?
Anyway i have been hunting but not finding quite what i need.
I found one that plays from sd card but i want it to play only files i say.
Thinking about if it was streamed then that would use there data and if not connection they could not use so maybe streaming is not the way to go.
Anyway anyone any suggestions?
Hi guys, my Vega will be arriving this week, since it will be always on the same network as my PC, is there a way to play music or playlists stored on the PC to the Vega (will be running Honeycomb)
I would prefer the playlists to be on the tablet so the wife can set some up rather than her going to my PC to do anything.
cheers
You can try Google Music Beta. It Uploads music to the Google servers, and you can play it anywhere, anytime

I'm in the UK, there's no Google Music here
I'm in the Netherlands Ever heard of proxy servers?
cheers, but can it stream music from my PC?
The easiest method is to use CIFS Manager to create a link to your PC share and just open the files up using any Audio player. PowerAmp is the leader for playing music but personally I found it to be a pain to setup. Give it a go with setting up the share and if you come across any problems post them here and I'll see if I can help out.
Good luck!
I agree with using CIFSmanager, it works very well for streaming video and audio to your Vega. However, when i tried it couldn't get Poweramp, winamp or the default player to browse to the share (even if it was mounted in /sdcard) so in the end I used MortPlayer Music. It's not the most pretty interface but it works well until one of the other players adds support for browsing CIFS.
cheers guys, much appreciated
I know that being a thread necromancer isn't cool or anything but maybe someone really wants to stream audio/video etc from PC like a boss.

Good morning everyone.
Hope your all having a fantastic day.
This is more of a general android quesiton i suppose rather then a pixel 4. but being brand new to #teampixel thought i would ask.
while i have spotify and dont plan to use music on my phone to often, nice to have for them data black spots.
So i am gonna transfer over a few albums, just wondering what apps you are all using to manage albums and art work?
And then where are you putting your music on the device? surely i shouldn't just dump everything into the downloads folder.
Thank you for your time in reading this post, and hope your able to help.
Kind regards
Liam
You can use a simple Music Player Aimp / Poweramp ... Foobar
I copy the files to the Music folder from my PC.
Even though Google play music is being discontinued this year I'm still using it over YouTube music. I can access my music library on my computer and on my phone. Works great with Android auto too.
Hey there,
just use the preinstalled "YT Music" App. There you can manage your YouTube music and your local music, it also supports the "Motion Sense".
Regards,
Sebastian
