Does anyone know of any "all-you-can-eat" music subscription service that will successfully stream to a WM6 device?
I have a subscription with Rhapsody. There are two ways to use it: with their software client installed on your desktop harddrive, or stream directly from their website. However, if you stream from their website, it installs a very small player app on your harddrive. If you try to stream from their website on a mobile device, it brings up an error saying that the player app must be installed and can only be installed on XP/2000, etc. And there is no mobile Rhapsody client available, in fact, no mention of one even in the works from Rhapsody.
As far as other services go, for a short time last year I used AOL Music and it was able to stream b/c their streams used WMP. I was so excited... I paid the normal 10 bucks a month and could listen to any song, any time, any where on my phone as long as I had a data connection. Unfortunately, AOL music subscription service shutdown late last year.
As for the other guys, Napster, Urge, and Yahoo all either use their own players or their own clients, so none of them work on mobile phones.
Any suggestions? Any of you genius-smart app writers out there think you could come up with something that could stream any of these services?
I'm listening to sirius right now on my tilt. It uses tcpmp. go ask the guys at geekstoolbox.com and maybe they can throw something together real quick for ya. they're working on an all in one right now i think
Hey thanks for the info kireol. Yeah I listen to XM and Sirius on my phone as well. Great feature. I'm looking to get a subscription service going as well.
Thanks for the site suggestion... going to check it out now.
Looks like geekstoolbox is geared mainly toward smartphones and Sirius. They're hard at work on their latest project which appears to be a complete overhaul to their Sirius software, but it's only going to add XM and internet radio stations. Don't think they'll be doing anything related to subscription services (outside of satellite radio) anytime soon.
Any other thoughts about how to get a subscription service to stream? Alternatively, have you looked at trying to get Pandora to stream to a WM device?
AT&T Tilt
Samsung Blackjack
AT&T 3125
The Nokia 810 has a mobile rhapsody client, and that also runs on an arm processor. I am sure a concerted effort could be made to port that code to WM, but I dont think there are enough rhapsody subscribers to care.
Surur
Add one to the "I care" list. I also have a Rhapsody To-Go membership & I would love to be able to take advantage of that on my Tilt.
Any progress?
Any progress?
Mundu Radio
So far I tried Resco Radio, XM and Sirius. And lately Mundu Radio. The best so far, and BTW it is free, is the Mundu Radio. You can download the Cab file from the following link:

Would MLB.tv work on my mobile phone over HSDPA/3G or EDGE?
Also, would this get past blackout restrictions which are done by ip address?
Thanks for any info
According to a generic non-XDA Google search, it does not appear that MLB.tv will work on the Kaiser. On the PC side, it requires Flash 8 or higher.
However, I did come across a post that uses Slingbox to stream MLB.tv to a Treo over Sprint's network. As long as you're in a good 3G area, that could be a viable option. (Probably won't help with the whole blackout by IP though)
Check it out here: http://forum.treonauts.com/palm-smartphones/treo-700p/3657-mlb-tv.html
Actually, it doesn't require flash player as you can access the "old version of the stream" from MLB.tv page.
I do want a slingbox though!!!
how do I get to the old verison on the mlb.com page?
Does it work with the old version on a PPC?
Does anyone know of a player that plays VC-1 (Windows Media Video 9 Advanced codec). If so I may have a solution for the mlb.tv problem.
is it comeing to android ? i think i read somewhere is was like 2 weeks ago cant remember exactly where is this true?
and is there any tv sreaming apps for android?
Search Marketplace for "Beebplayer"
Works well over WiFi - No download and its not offical.
Has anyone got this working on 3G in the UK? Or anywhere for that matter?
I keep getting "Cannot play this video" which apparently means the carrier does not support iPlayer (?)
Does this mean that T-Mobile UK block the iplayer ports? Could we get this to work with an ssh tunnel or something?
It doesnt seem to be in the market anymore????
Anyone have the apk?
Cheers

It is still in the market, just a bit hard to find. You need to search for 'beebplayer'
Attached the apk (zipped) anyway.
Cheers for the zip!!!
Thats totally weird I did of course carefully search for beebplayer and I never got a hit?!
Anyway I'll try the apk, thanks.
for any who can't get it to work, it needs 1.5 firmware.
This is an impressive implementation, and the only choice to hand, however as the owner of both an iPhone 3g and a white G1 i have to say the the comparison between the two shows up just how much better the iPhone h.264 streams are to the mobile streams used via the mobile iPlayer portals.
It's a shame these streams can't be utilised by the developer, but I imagine the G1 just doesn't have good enough graphics acceleration to cope with it

Getting the iPhone streams on there was my first choice - in fact all the code to resolve the streams is in beebPlayer but unused. The problem is that the G1 can't play the iPhone streams.

Actually, the G1 is more than powerful enough. The problem is that the iPhone streams are in a .MOV container that the G1 video player can't decode. It's annoying - it's SO close to being MP4 which would be perfect, but of course Apple had to ruin the party!
Does that mean if the streams weren't in a .mov container we'd be able to use the direct iPhone iplayer page using the Steel browser and the iPhone user agent spoof option?
That would be pretty cool.
Impressed as I am with this app the mobile streams are just too poor for me.
Hi DaveJ!
Is there any chance you could put server/port options in beebplayer (or release source code) so that I can play around with getting it to work through a proxy? I'd love to be able to use this app over 3G...
Thanks for making a great app! (and great maps )

Nearly... the next issue there would be to deal with the media player spoofing, as iPlayer checks the HTTP request and expects it to be exactly the same request and behaviour as the QuickTime player on the iPhone, and is actually the trickiest bit to copy.
In Python, this was fairly easy to forge. On Android's Java however, it likes to make forging this very difficult and is what gave me most of my problems when I last tried it.

This is theoretically possible, but is actually pretty similar to the iPhone media player problem - it would need a custom video player app, rather than the one built-in to Android that beebPlayer currently uses (beebPlayer never touches the video streams itself.)
I'm already toying with the idea of a custom video player which would deal more pleasantly with errors (particularly "Video cannot be played" could use a better description!) but it's not my priority right now unfortunately.
Have you seen the Windows Mobile implementation of iPlayer done by a guy here at XDA-Devs? (It's called myPlayer)
That can use VLC on a desktop PC to re-encode the BBC streams to more suitable sizes for mobile devices, this also gives the option of viewing live tv channels (which the BBC now broadcast online) as the mobile app uses telnet to command VLC to open the BBC stream, convert it on the fly.. then streams it to the phone.
Would be great to have something like that on android, and may help with the quality issue of using mobile streams?
Any chance we can make use of get_iplayer?
i like this app. im only really able to run it over 3g when i use adrenalin
since running JACs hero roms beebplayer is working for me on 3g as well as wifi with t-mobile UK.
I don't know if this is a change in T-mobile's blocks on streaming or because of the hero rom. but shhhhhhh keep it quiet, I don't want TMob to switch it off again...
MyPlayer
Any chance you could get together with the developer of Myplayer for Windows Mobile? I really like Beebplayer, works a treat on my Hero ... but I'd really really like to be able to listen to Radio 5, which Myplayer lets you.
Cheers
what a great (not previously found) app.... thank you.
Been watching the wifi stream over 3G without a problem couldnt ask for anything more.

great app,
this app is great!, couldnt find it with a search on the market place, if you have trouble, view all applications in the marketplace and keep scrolling till you see it, i couldnt find it with a search for some reason,
this app works like a charm over wifi, really fast and great quality,
i have a g1 and on the network "three". I have no problems with using beebplayer over 3g, the app also tells you the download size just in case your on a limited data plan.
this is a must have application, just wish thier was on for demand 5, and channel 4od.
I'm looking for an app to stream music. But I can't seem to find anything that works. Like I want to be able to stream for say something like, Edge 102.1 (Toronto). Or something similar and free to XM Radio.
I use Pandora and I love it. It's sort of... genre-based internet radio. I do have force closes once in a while when switching channels a lot but the app is worth it to me.
Edit: Does not pull in AM/FM if that is strictly what you're looking for. You search for a band you like and it will play similar music to the band you chose. Each search creates a "channel" you can switch between.
Hmm. Pandora sounds great and I've heard a lot about it. But, I can't seem to download it in Canada Any suggestions on how to get it or other apps?
you can try iheartradio but i had problems with it not streaming very good
Such a bummer that the markets are not the same across countries. Since it's a free app I think I could post it to the forums without it being warez, right?

I hope so lol
here it is
for future reference, check out market enabler to unlock the market. i've never used it though so i'm not sure if it works.
edit: these are both free apps but if a mod feels like i shouldnt post these, please delete this post
I use an app called AOnlineRadio, it's free in the marketplace. Only plays shoutcast-style streams, but has directory and search functions. Doesn't seem to support Ogg, afaik.
--W5i2
Doesnt last.fm do the same thing? maybe that will work
Awww. Pandora won't work in my country it says (Canada).
I'm trying to use Last.fm in my browser, so I'm on the mobile site, but I can't seem to play any music. I don't see any option to play song or anything.
search the market for last.fm, but I bet it won't work in the great white north either. You could try Slacker, and there is another that I know works in europe but requires a subscription and I can't for the life of me remember it's name, sorry - 5 AM here.
Pandora and Slacker are US-only due to licensing restrictions by the recording industry. I'm not sure about last.fm since audioscrobbler was pretty popular years ago even in Europe.
You could try some of the shoutcast streaming apps or maybe do a market search for "<country> radio". There may even be something available for Canadians that we don't have in the US market.
I just found one and it's great: "A Online Radio"
It's streaming though, so you'll probably want 3G I'd imagine. (USA here)
I just really want a good streamer to use in Canada since I have 6GB and I'm not using it all up. Bluetooth streaming to my car stereo would be a nice replacement to my actual radio.
i use stream furious
works pretty fine for me (in austria)
there where even the radiostations installed that i downloaded it for. and you can add them yourself too
Anyone nab a Spotify? It's an awesome music streaming service. Also, maybe this could be a little G+ - Spotify trade off thread. Like someone has a G+ and not a Spotify and someone has a Spotify but not a G+. Also, if anyone could confirm the Spotify Android app working on the Nook (I can't test, my Nook is not with me).
There is an easy workaround at Gizmodo on how to get around the lack of an invite. You basically use a proxy to fool the UK spotify site into signing you up for.a free account and then you switch back to US and edit your profile. All the steps are easy to follow.
BTW, spotify itself invites new users, not the new users themselves (Ala Google+)
I took a look at Spotify earlier today. Maybe I'm missing it, but what's everyone so excited about? It looks like Pandora/Slacker mixed with a dash of Google Music for good measure.
The G+ streams are all atwitter about Spotify tonight.
$10/mo for mobile app use makes it DOA for me.
I'd do the free service or maybe the $5/mo if it had mobile app support, but I'm not even going to bother for $10/mo.
The main "advantage" of spotify seems to be the ability to offload the music for when you don't have wifi and the ability to stream your own music from your PC. Since the NC doesn't have 3G, the mobile app isn't really all that limited with the free service except when you are somebody else's wifi.
I haven't messed with it too much but I wonder if you set up a VPN back to your home network whether you can stream that way.
I do like the way you can make playlists for streaming.
Been using spotify since it was released in sweden 3-4 years ago. It's awesome in every way. Completely replaces any kind of illegal and legal way of getting music. If only a similar service of the same quality would come for movies and series...

Hello Folks,
I am trying to find a way of keeping most of music available to me across my devices,
Android Tablet (Nexus7)
Android Phone (MotoX)
Various PC's
I have messed with Google Music and something about the interface doesn't do it for me.
MyMusicCloud is limited to 250 songs and other cloud services like Skydrive don't offer streaming services but just storage.
The idea is to stream, not really download to play, ideas and suggestions would be appreciated.
Pete
I used subsonic server for over a year. Works insanely well if you are willing to run a server from your PC. they're are raspberry pi solutions as well. Also, some use Plex, instead. Both are great options. As for cloud services, you can pretty much do Google music or amazon. Google gives you 20k songs free. Amazon gives you an unprecedented 250k songs for $25 a year.

Just a heads up that if you are not into the Google Music app, you can now use third party software as the interface, but still use Google Music for its free storage capacity. I saw the article somewhere on this site, I will take a look for it.

I used Subsonic for a while too, seemed to work well. As mentioned, you need an always on computer if you want access whenever. I remember it being a little tedious to set up. Subsonic also lets you stream video files, pretty neat, worked alright. I stopped using it when I discovered that my home Comcast internet usage was over the 200GB limit one month, but I can't verify it was Subsonic or something else on my network... I'm tempted to try Subsonic again, seems silly to upload my music to Google's server when I could just stream from home, provided your upload is fast enough and you have a static IP or DDNS.
I've had good luck with Cloudaround. The free version lets you stream from dropbox, and the paid version uses Box, GoogleDrive, Skydrive and others, as well as your local files.
I have used Amazon MP3 with good luck
I appreciate everyone's suggestions...
I guess one of my large pet peeves with Google Music is its inability to sync music to a folder, unless I am not seeing it.
When i use there music manager software and direct it a folder path it just copies everything over, if a file is deleted or renamed it does nothing, its not truly a sync piece of software, any work arounds ?
