Thanks!

No news on the official Spotify client yet, but "Droidify" an unofficial client showed up in the Android Market today. It's free, but like all 3rd party applications that use the Spotify API you need a Spotify Premium account to use it.
I've been using it all afternoon and it's really very good. It works even with just a 3G connection, you have access to all your playlists and can create new playlists. Album art is displayed when you play tracks and you can even read artist bios. It can run in the background and even when the phone is in standby.
It's not quite as polished as the official client will undoubtedly be and it doesn't allow for offline syncing of playlists, although it does cache songs so frequently played songs shouldn't need to be downloaded in their entirety every time.

Working very well here
Not tested much on 3G, crappy reception in my flat.

Can't find this on the market, maybe been pulled?

Pulled yes, (but works if it's already installed)

Can someone email me the apk? It's no longer on the market.

I sent a DM with it included.

Can someone please send me the link? Either as mail or PM? Eager to try this app. Thanks

Can someone send it to me also? Thank you in advance.

Yeah, I'd also like a copy of the APK if possible. PM me if you can help me out ^^
-rmuk

Just to say, I found that the app force closed on me every time I tried to log in. But, after adding just a single playlist through the Spotify-PC-app, and tossing a few songs in it - the force closing stopped. So, if anyone else is experiencing this, try adding a playlist with a couple of songs.

Apparently its just been pulled from the Market.

-- oops, just noticed I am rather late with the news, sorry --

Only did some quick testing when I got the app, but now it seem have a 50/50 chance of playing the selected song and logging me out when I press play... Probably blocking something somewhere
Can't wait for an official one

can you send it to me also? im already premium. Thank you in advance.

I would also love a link

seems it aint been released in UK as I get this message 'The requested item is not available in your location'

Just downloaded it, awesome app. HQ playback on 3G.

I was able to find it via the device market place. Just go to Apps and do a search for YouTube and you would find it in the list.
But I am not sure about the app's search functionality. I have tried searching for a video in native WP7 YouTube app, which gave me a bunch of results, but the same search did not come up with any results on the HTC YouTube one.

Try going into settings and change to show all, default is set to show only todays newests uploaded videos

Really really like the app, way better than the other youtube app.
It is kind of slow/laggy though but overall it is a great app, needs the ability to sign in with account.

Had the same problem from the desktop app, but using the instructions in post 1 i was able to get it.

Just installed it in the UK, Apps, Music and Video, New, 4th one down.

Music Beta by Google: A Must Read For All Root Users!

The Music Beta by Google app seems to be giving me issues. I have been using it since it launched on the Xoom without any kind of problems until now. It is telling me that I have too many devices connected to my account. That doesn't make any sense because I know for a fact that I do not have more than 8 devices or computers connected to my account like it's telling me I have. I know for a fact that I have my Xoom, my Droid, and my computer all connected to my Music account. And that's it! Nothing else.
Now I can't use Music Beta on my Xoom... and I don't know why it would be saying that when I know it's false. This is the only app that is giving me problems. Screenshot attached...
UPDATE: The problem has been resolved by me! Check out the post below to see...

I have fixed the problem! I am rooted, of course... and it turns out that every time I wiped data on my Xoom, and then signed back into my Music Beta account on a fresh new install, it would add my Xoom to my list of devices again. My Xoom was actually listed 7 times on the Music Beta device list, followed by my Droid... which is a total of 8 devices. That explains everything!
To fix this:
Just log into the desktop version of Music Beta by clicking here, go into settings, and then you'll see a place to manage your devices. Just remove the multiple device entries from the list, and then... presto! We're back in business!
Important Lesson Of The Day:
If you own a Xoom, are rooted, wipe data a lot, and you use Music Beta a lot... you will want to make sure that you check out your device list right away. I can almost guarantee that your Xoom is listed more than one time. If there are multiple device entries of the same thing, just remove them off your list. It's that easy!
And if you don't do this... eventually you will end up hitting 8 devices total like I did. Then you will have to remove at least one device entry from the list before you can use it again, because you are only allowed 8 devices at a time, even if it just so happens to be the same device listed 8 different times. Just be aware of that situation and you won't ever have a problem.
If anyone has found this information useful or informative, please give me a thanks. Also, leave any comments if you have any. Thanks all!

i experienced a similar situation with the kindle app, every time i wiped and reloaded the kindle app, it thought it was a new xoom, so i had 6 tablets on the account.
thanks for the heads up with the google music.

Ahh very similar situation indeed. It's something I wanted us root users to realize when wiping data. Little things like this... I don't think most people think about or even know about. Also, thanks for the heads up about the Kindle app. I don't use it so much right now so I didn't know that.

It also happens when corporate syncing in Microsoft outlook. I have to delete phones and tablets after I root them a couple times.

Ah that's also good to know. It seems like these kind of services you'd have to watch if you are rooted, just so you won't have any future problems.

Cant find settings in google music on the web page
Sorry, I cant find the settings in the google music section on the web page. Do you mind explaining where it is? Sorry if this sounds like a noob question.

Nah it's cool. You need to click the gear icon in the upper right hand corner of the Music Beta page while you are logged in, and then hit music settings. You can then see the page that has your devices on it. Done.

Thanks for finding this. I couldn't figure it out. Would work fine from my laptop, but not on my EVO or my Thrive. Was making me a little crazy.

Thanks for this. Since I've only wiped my Xoom once, it was listed once...but my D3..listed multiple times, cuz of wiping
Thanks!!

Thanks for the fix, I got the notification last night and had no idea how since I only use Google Music on my PC and phone, hopefully they fix the issue of it automatically authorizing the same device multiple times.

Hopefully they do down the road. Each device has its own MAC address, so it should be fairly easy to allow it to differentiate between same devices so that they will not make the list more than once. It should not be difficult for it to identify a device that is already on the list via MAC address, or so you would think so right.

That's true. It's currently being certified. I will release it as soon as Mango is launched and my app has been certified. You will see an update in this topic when the app is released.

Ah I see, well Im still excited for this app. I have been wanting something like this for a while(nothing else works well or looks good) and yours looks great! I have Mango running on my DVP, so my money is wanting for you on the release of the app! lol

lol Well, I hope I can get my app verified on Friday, and they are rumoured to release Mango on Sept 1. So, maybe we're there on Sept 2.

I like the idea, though It would be nice if the app itself could look a bit more Zune like. I'll still probably grab it at some point.

Your app name is a little misleading because there is a quite popular gaming controller called zeemote. Just my 5 cent...

Oops, that wasn't what we wanted. But I took a look in the Marketplace and there is no Zeemote for WP7 available, so it isn't very confusing. Is it?

Well, ideally something like Zune Remote or something similar would be better... but I'm pretty sure I remember "Zune" being a reserved word, so I understand.
Zemote isn't bad though. Either way, I can't wait until it hits the marketplace

Sounds awesome! Zune is an amazing player but it's crippled by lack of global hotkeys. This software effectively negates this issue, kudos to you!

Great news! Zemote is NOW available in the Marketplace! Enjoy! =)
And the better news: it's only $1,99!

only Europe maybe? It's not showing up here in marketpace on the device or on Zune client. ok, can get it via the link, but no try before buy, hmm
just tried the PC server application. It calls up Zune opens a window that I have to double click a song and then the connect dialog should come up. When I double click a song something opens for a split second and disappears and nothing else happens.
Windows 7 64bit, installed the 64 bit version, Zune Client 4.8.2345. There one instance of ZemotePC in the process list. No connect dialog window as shown in the window shows up. I disabled firewall and av to make sure it's not blocked. What port is it using btw.?

I'm having issues on Win7 64 bit as well. First the software freezes my Zune software for a good while. After a bit (only because I was patient and didn't kill the process) I can double click a song like the prompt asks and then I get the connect splash with my computer name. I type it in my phone and receive a connection error. Any advice?
There is one point of feedback I can give right now. I honestly don't like how the Zemote software sorta hijacks the Zune software and Zune is shown as a Zemote.exe process. Would hope for tighter integration than that.

You should uninstall and re-install the version from our website. We're sorry for the inconvenience.
We use port number 7575.

I'm sorry but "hi-jacking" the Zune process is the only way to get control over the player. That won't change anytime soon...
If you're having a huge library, it's possible you'll need some patience (I'm thinking of more than 2000 songs). I should do better "please wait" integration
Connection errors are probably caused because your phone and PC are not both on WiFi. Make sure your phone is not using the 3G-network. Also, if connection then still doesn't work, you can use the IP address. Should be fine.
Thanks everybody for giving feedback, this is an important resource!

Sweet!
Just purchased this on the marketplace and it works great (Win7 Ultimate x64/ Zune 4.8.2345.0/ HD2 Mango). I've been waiting for a Zune remote control app so am delighted that this has been released.
I simply added the PC Zemote app to my firewall exeptions list and it connected in seconds.
It would be great to be able to select Artists in the same way we can select Albums. That would then bring up all albums by that artist and you can then select the album, and then song. The only other suggestions, for future updates, would be to allow Zemote to run in background on WP7, so you don't have to reconnect when you resume (if thats possible on Mango), and an autoconnect option so the app connects to your nominated PC as soon as you launch it.
Great work and congratulations to all involved on making this fantastic app.
Thankyou.

Pandora app

I haven't seen this talked about on here. Justin Angel has created a .xap that streams pandora and acutally works very well. The only thing it doesn't do is run in the background and show the now playing media on the lockscreen. If he could get that working, it would be amazing.
http://twitter.com/#!/JustinAngel/status/123225742199881729

Ahh crap. When the screen goes off it kills the music too. Any tricks to keep that from happening?

Is he Willing to share the source code? ... oh and on a user note, he has his email and password for his Pandora account hard coded

Doesnt Work
It opens up the login screen and after that nothing happens. Anything Missed ?

Word is that he is working on an SDK for it. He tweets about it on his twitter account. I can't wait for this. It's been a long time coming.

Justin has released this for developers:
http://metropandora.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=PandoraSDK#suggestedAPI
As well as this milestone chart:
http://metropandora.codeplex.com/

Installed this on Mango and it opens to the screen were I insert my pandora credentials, then when hitting enter it kicks me out.... .Anyone else have this issue?
thanks

I had a word with Justin on Twitter. He is finalizing the SDK and then head over to make a new App so till then sit tight

will it also work in the countries where pandora doesn't?

It‘s good！Thank you！

crashed at login
crashed at login for me as well.

No. It will check to make sure you are not in a location that is "geo-fenced."

So very new to the whole wp7 thing. How does one download it? Says it is not supported file to download?

MetroRadio
MetroRadio was released on Market but then pulled after only 2 days. This was the first pandora 3rd party app that was built off Justin Angel's SDK (Provided here). I flashed a new rom and know can't find this xap anywhere. Does anyone know where to get it?
Thanks!
