The iTunes store. I don't pirate my music, and iTunes MP3 files are really great quality + DRM free.
I have a Zune subscription. Not able to use it on an android phone of course (haven't gotten my phone yet), but works wonders on my Zune HD.

You should read this before buying more songs off itunes. http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20090113/0707133391.shtml
I get mine off of Amazon. Quick, relatively inexpensive, and relatively good quality.
I'm using doubletwist. I just installed imusic to try it out, but doesn't seem to be working rift. Either that or I'm missing something.
Try Music Junk guys..I don't think it's on the market but it's on 4shared. It's really slick.

My CD collection.
You still listen to CDs, don't you?

I've used Amazon sometimes which is good quality. But mostly from my CD collection!
Apps:
1.TIKL: Walkie Talkie App that works on 3g/4g and WIFI
2. Tango: Best Video Calling App that works better then QIK and fring as well as cross platform to iphone on 3g
3. Websharing: Awesome wifi file transfer that allows you to use 3g and wifi to share files from your phone to computer including, cutting,pasting upload delete.
4. Printer Share (Not Free but worth buying): Great Wifi printer app that lets you print anything you want off your phone..
5. Tune in Radio: Web Radio as well as streaming your local FM Radio Stations!!
6. Shazamm Encore: Awesome Music Identifier by listening to the song.
7. Slingplayer Mobile: If you have a slingbox this allows you to watch your cable box anywhere you go as well as records shows and what not
Games:
1. Trap: Jezzball Clone however more fun with power ups and items, so addicting!!!
2. Rat's Retaliation: Perfect Clone Of "Rodents Revenge"
3.Drums: Best Drum Set ive used on the market for free.
4. Xpiano: Awesome Full piano app
5. Chips Advanced: Chips Challenge For GBA Emulator, which i posted far back on the last page of games and apps.
These are my favorite free apps and they take me back to Microsofts Entertainment Pack, gotta love those games.
Have Fun with my recommendations!!

Heytell works really well. Its similar to TIKL but can be used across phone platforms.
Soundhound works much better than shazam.
i've been trying to find a file sharing program similar to websharing that you have listed but the exact opposite. i want to view files on my pc with my phone ive tried all with no luck that i could find
Check out DropBox. It is pretty cool and might do what you want.

I'm not sure dropbox can stream videos. That's the main thing I would like to use. I've tried orb and it would setup correctly but the phone wouldnt see it
Spiderman HD and Stunt Jet Cars are two best games I played so far and they play and look more like PS2 games.
Oh and NewsRoom is the app that I use the most.You can read tech and other news feeds real eazy.

TIKL Works from android to android to iphone, i mean no one i know have any other type of phones.
In my opinion Soundhound blows, i tried using it and it can not identifiy well at all, shazamm usually finds everything.

I haven't gotten it to work yet, but I think that VLC has some promise for streaming media.
DropBox is great for just sharing files.
As far as other stuff I've found...
If you are an MMO junkie, there is Pocket Legends of course to get your mobile fix. But to check in with your friends, Ventriloid (free Ventrilo client) is a MUST have.
Until Skype gets their act together, check out ooVoo - does great video chat and has a desktop client! The paid version lets you do up to 6 way video conferences.
PLEASE help me find these games

I prefer TiKL over HeyTell. HeyTell is not realtime. HeyTell is not real PTT. It's got a purtier UI though.

You really shouldn't mention being able to get apps for free. A paid app is paid to compensate the developer and even if you aren't directly to the pirated app you are supporting it which goes against everything these forums stand for.
It is illegal to post links to warez or paid for apps on this site. Asking or linking to apps that are paid for, for free is against the rules and will not be tolerated.
I'll have to try out newsroom I use Pulse for RSS feeds.
Need for Speed is great.. best racing game on this phone IMO,
ALso try GURK.. good ole 8 bit RPG gaming.. it's soo addicting..
I just discovered a new app on the Epic General fourms.. called Droid Streamer
What a great app!
A little off topic, but to address flawlessbmxr's problem with orb... of course assuming everthing works except for the actual streaming.

To get orb to work over 3g (should already work over wifi) you will need to edit your RTSP Proxy Address one of two ways...
The first way requires that you know your MSL code for your phone... Enter ##DATA# into your dialer and you will be taken to a hidden menu, from there go in to Multimedia (or 'Edit->Others->Multimedia' if your on DK28 (or other Froyo)) and change the RTSP Address to 0.0.0.0
The second way requires that you have LauncherPro, ADW Ex (newest regular ADW might work too), or Any Cut installed on your phone. Just add a shortcut to one of your home screens and choose 'Activities->com.android.hiddenmenu->Multimedia(.Multimedia_Edit)' (as listed in DK28, may be slightly different in DI18)and then change your address as above. If your running ADW, you may need to choose Custom Shortcut, and click on Pick an activity to create the shortcut.

I've been using droidstreamer for a little over a week now. It does NOT have many vids. But, it does have full length movies and tv shows for streaming. It worked in 3g and 4g for me. And it's free . I usually just download shows and movies to my sd card and play through my video player though.
Hi there. I was just curious as to what music app you can call your main on your Xoom? Is it the stock music app or something else?
Personally my main music app is PowerAMP Premium. It has a sleek interface, many options to configure, a built in equalizer that just makes the songs sound fantastic, an auto download of album art feature, and it allows you to go through your music by the folders you have them in rather than just by album or artist only. It can't get much better than that in my opinion. I only wish it had visualizations much like windows media player on a desktop. Come to think of it... I don't think I have seen a music app on the market that has music visualizations built into it. Is there a such thing right now?
So do you have another music app as your main? Or do you have the same one like I do? Share with us.
poweramp is definitely the must have music app for anyone who loves listening to music on their xoom so many features its worth the money
Personally I use Subsonic on every Android device I own.
Winamp is not bad for free. Album art grabber work's pretty well too

Fully agree. Have all my music on my computer anywhere in the world is just too good. If Google does eventually release their cloud service I may switch, but subsonic is just BOSS. I wouldn't recommended it to any not tech user but this is xda...

I got 20gb from Amazon, so I just uploaded all my music to the cloud and I'm using their cloudplayer. Works nicely, although it did take a few days for me to upload 18gigs of music. I don't have much of an upload speed :-/
Maybe it's just me, but I'm really digging the tablet music app. On my Nexus One I use PlayerPro.
I really don't use the Xoom for music anyways. I did add about 8 or 9 gb of my favorite music but so far, I hardly make use of it. Only time I listen to music is in my car (Nexus One to car stereo), or when I'm in my home office.
Definitely Audiogalaxy. It allows me to stream any of the 7,500+ music files (mostly FLAC) on my home PC to any of my android devices.
been using amazon cloud player on my xoom, easy way to keep most of my library accessible to me no matter where I am. right now I have like 8GB of songs on amazon cloud player, but even so I primarily use my Zune HD and zune pass for most of my music.
If you want a really cool and unique looking app check out cube (superscript 3) It has a very interesting UI and some neat add-ons like new releases and local live shows from artists in your library. But I also have the paid PowerAMP app

how about this... I would like to upload all my music to my website/FTPsite, is there a good app that will stream the music from there?
Pandora for me... I don't have much of a music collection
Power Amp fo sho! Well worth the money!
So far so good! Lots of good opinions and lots of good options. Some are using PowerAMP, some use a syncing method from computer to device, while others don't have much music and just stream from the internet. Good stuff! Keep 'em coming!
On a side note I do love to stream internet radio all the time. My app of choice for streaming Shoutcast stations is called XiiaLive, which was formerly know as DroidLive. I like the feel and look of it. I heard someone say Pandora as well... gotta love the Pandora!

What about subsonic? I havent tested it on a xoom but would be nice if someone tried it, you basically turn your pc into the server and your phone can access any songs in the library over a network connection 3G/wifi

Be careful with Pandora. They harvest and sell personal data:
http://socialtimes.com/pandora-under-investigation-for-sharing-your-personal-information_b55812
Im using Rhapsody. $15 a month unlimited music, 3 mobile devices authorized, (I use it on my OG Droid too) and it shares the library with those devices, and PC. You can download your playlists for offline playback which is great since I don't pay for 3G service on Xoom. Has radio playlists but probably not as good as pandora, but it doesn't steal your identity.
I was using Zunepass, but since this is my main device especially in my car, Zune has become irrelevant. Zune has nicer software, but doesn't have the library media mirroring like Rhapsody.
Not to mention there's no way to use it on an android device.
Since I too own very little music, rental services are great. I got scared by illegal downloads back when my University started identifying students to the RIAA (down and up speeds were unreal on campus, esp. after hours, they eventually capped them after I left) and they were being sued for $3000 per song! I figured the risk wasn't worth the reward.

Just looking for an app that will allow me to stream all my music and videos to the Nook. Anyone have any suggestions?
VLC Stream & Convert is good for movies. Works for music as well. You have to pay for full version for full features like making playlists, optimizing video, etc. Try the free version and try it out.
Sweet, will do. Thanks.
I am using playon. Works great for streaming my ripped movies, Netflix, MLB games. Might want to check it out.
need app?
i don't think so
I use audiogalaxy for my music which is simple and working great so far.

You can stream Netflix through Playon? Hm... might have to try that out. I've been pretty happy with VLC S&C since I've got it working, but Netflix would be nice until they get around to making a proper Android app for it.
Hey guys.
according to the WSJ Music Beta is soon to be released. What is your experience so far?
Especially i want to know if you have any problems using it from "no us countries"... I'm living in germany and I havent had any problems at the beginning, since a few weeks i can't log in to my MusicManager to upload new songs (Counld not identify your computer )
and i also would like to know if you are willing to pay for this kind of service.

Well they're going to be a lot like Apple and iTunes, although I didn't see anything about DRM. Which will be awesome, DRM is stupid and doesn't do anything.
I love Music right now...I use it to stream music that I don't always listen to and store on my phone when I actually do want to listen to it. It's great if my phone is off too, and I'm over at someone's house or something and want to play music from my library. I've had very few hiccups, sometimes I've had to force Music to upload songs, but not really that much. I'd like better control over adding songs to the cloud library though.
And no...I would NOT pay for this kind of service. I'd pay for EXTRA parts of the service, if I deemed them useful (which I probably wouldn't). And of course, I'd love to buy music from Google rather than Apple, I'd much rather support a company I care about.
I use Amazon Cloud Player which is nearly an identical service.
It's awesome btw.
Been using Google music off and on. The artist list can get really laggy over 3g if you have a lot of music. I'm more inclined to pay Pandora which works well over 3g even with the lower audio quality.
