Spotify is now available - myTouch 3G, Magic Apps and Games

Didn't take long for the Android to experience the wonderful world of Spotify. This app is now available from Android Market.
The app is only available for Premium users of Spotify. If you aren't a Premium user then you can purchase it for as little as £10 per month or if you are having a party £0.99 for 24 hours.
Premium users get top quality playback along with a few other extras including no adverts!!
I should be a salesman looking at the above but it is excellent!!

Video chat

I did a search and foumd nothing for the D3, so can someone recommend a good video chat app? I tried Qik Video but it kept FC, and I would like a recommendation. Thanks!

VTok allows you to video chat through Google Talk. Fring works for the Droid 3 as well.
My wife and I use Tango between her iPhone 4 and my Droid 3. Quality is mediocre, but it works.

I got tango. It works, but as you said the quality is a little lacking. No worries, though. I really only need it when my husband is out of town. Thanks!

Fring seems to be the best one so far for me. 3g is medicore at best, but works slightly better on wifi
video chat with paltalk mobile
You can try paltalk mobile. visit paltalk.com from your mobile browser and it should direct you to the android download page, or you can get it from the android market by searching for paltalk.
DISCLAIMER: I work for them so please don't get mad, the video is a subscription service, although we are adding 'super IM' soon wihch will allow for up to 10 users in your video chat for free. The subscription service is for the open chat rooms and costs 60 bucks a year.
We are in testing now so it may be a bit buggy, but it does allow for multiple videos at once in open groups. Stay tuned for the super IM release which as I said earlier will have free video for private conversations.
Warning! - paltalk does have 'adult' activity in some chat rooms so this is not an app for kids or anyone under the age of 18. It's not a smut site, but there is an adult category (one of many many categories)
I have a droid 3 and on my 3g connection the video is FAST!
To be honest this app was developed for our current users and subscribers, but if you are seeking a pretty amazing video chat app that is still a bit early in development you may want to give it a try.
You do NOT have to pay anything if you don't want to.

Crackle, if you're in select countries
Films are really old on there though :-(

SPB TV, Netflix, TV.com, Crackle are 4 I've tried. I love Netflix and the built in Google Play movie rental system the best though.

Have you tested the n7 player? Is it better than poweramp?

Some guys says n7 player is a worthy alternative to poweramp.Have you guys tested it?

Test it yourself, it is free after all... https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.n7mobile.nplayer
In my opinion I really like it. It doesn't have all the options PowerAMP has but n7player is only a free beta while PowerAMP has been around for quite some time and is a paid app. So is n7player a worthy alternative? I say so. With time it may even surpass PowerAMP altogether!
Still missing some features that power PowerAmp has but, for being a beta it's awesome!, try it, it gets very visual once you load up a big library

Downloaded it about an hour ago from the Play Store, it's awesome!
$9.99 per month. What a joke!

I've tried spotify, Pandora, and doubletwist magic radio... I've been listening to all access for about two hours now. Seriously worth the 8.60$ a month.

Why is it a joke...... Spotify charges the exact same amount for mobile devices.
If Google can get the deals in place and match their library, there is no joke about it, especially if you get in early on for the $7.99 price.

It's 7.99 a month if you sign up for the free trial before mid-june I think? http://www.androidcentral.com/google-play-music-all-access-unveiled
I'm a long-time Rhapsody user, but I've got to say, being able to combine the music I already have or have purchased with a subscription service is awfully convenient. On the other hand, only being able to use it on the web/my phone instead of also on my xbox for living room listening is less wonderful.

Yea I signed up for it because it would be nice as you said for streaming plus songs I already have. But with so many companies offering music services it's going to be hard to have a single solution across all platforms. With this and my xbox/win8 set up I'm pretty much covered.

"keeping" music option takes 100times longer than it does on Spotify.
Im sure they will fix this soon.. I hope.

i really want to subscribe to this but im outside US any ideas how i can achieve this?
I've been on Spotify for over a year, tried MOG, Rdio, everything. So far this has the best interface, with more music in some respects, with notification bar controls, and landscape mode, for 7.99. Great job Google! Just won me
I ditched MOG for All Access. I don't use all of its expanded features, but it does exactly what I need it to do.
I've not previously subscribed to a music service, couple of questions some of you may be able to answer... I have some guesses. Let me know if there are other use cases:
[Q-1] Why is there an option to still upload my music library when I've already purchased all access? I can play anything I want already, on demand or radio-like.
[GUESS-1] Is this to upload music I write, or music that's not licensed through the service (like a certain artist I want is missing, or not commercial yet)? Anything else? Should I "upload" music that I own that is available for streaming play? Will that impact anything like the quality? I'm guessing not, and I'm hoping if it detects a match it won't waste my 20,000 song space, or bother shoving up data it already has a better copy of.
[Q-2] Why can we still "buy" songs when we're all access? I can already play anything Google has. Why are you showing me this? I have seen a few comments (while searching for these answers) of people actually saying they wish their $7.99/mo. subscription came with 10 free songs... Why? That doesn't seem logical.
[GUESS-2] So I can still play it if I drop the subscription?

1) It's a holdover from when Google Music was upload/purchase only and didn't have a streaming option. I already had most of my albums uploaded to GMusic for streaming purposes. Now, though, I guess it's only if you want to upload stuff that isn't in Google's catalog.
2) For when you unsubscribe.

You can't download all access music on your pc, just purchased tracks or your own. Also, Google doesn't have licenses for every label and every artist/album. Uploading your own supplements this. I also suspect their purchase library is larger than all access streaming but I can't confirm this, just guessing.

It's there, you sure you are not looking hard enough?
I checked on my Galaxy S4 and Nexus 10, it's there under the settings. And I am willing to bet if it is one my Nexus 10, it should be on your Nexus 4.
The one thing I LOVE about Google Music/All Access is that it displays the song playing on my car's radio, Spotify doesn't. Spotify is also finnicky with headset controls...sometimes when I hit play the stock Android players kicks on.
But what I do give Spotify props for are the nice little features - the desktop program is really easy to use, easy to create and modify your playlists, easy to see what's new and trending, and I really use the Popularity feature a lot. Also the app has crossfading, which is a little but awesome feature, it's also an easier interface.
I'm really on the fence with this one.

[Q] Live TV Streaming

guyz, whats the Best Live TV streaming app on Android???
There really isn't one that could be considered the best. They are all marginal. Service based apps (home subscription necessary) or a Slingbox or similar device are all that I use. Most apps are Web links or for USA residents, all foreign TV.

TV in streaming was my obsession as I always saw that a kind of mega feature on our devices like the big deal but actually this Apps development are not the biggest one.
After trying many, at this moment I think one of the good one is this one.
I've used filmon live a few times and it's been fine.
