Finally we will be able to share in the love.

oh ive been waiting since i got the phone.
One thing i hope doesnt happen. I had pandora on a winmo device and sound quality was horrible i hope thats not the case for us now.

I hope it comes soon. Just googled pandora,tried it,and now I love it. Does have a .jar of of a mobile version already out? I'd like to see if I can get that to work while i wait.

I think it does. youll have to do a seach on it though.

I tried using the J2me converter in the market but this are my results on this thread. I have the JAR hosted if someone wants to give it a shot.

Hopefully it will stream ok on EDGE. Im excited about this one!!!!

Open the box now!1!
Oh yummy. I feel like a kid on Christmas Eve, can't wait to open pandora's box. One app I've been dying to get my hands on since I got a G1. Hack away at that jarfile.

Tell me why I should use this over Last.Fm
I have been using last.fm for a few years now, its the single best thing about XBMC. What does pandora do that last.fm does not?
Last.Fm bitrate is very clear and stable, android players take a bit to buffer but this is related to hardware not software. It has just about EVERYTHING I have ever searched for and I have searched for some little known punkrock bands.

The thing I hate about pandora on my friends iphone is the damn skip limit. When I showed him last.fm he was amazed I could skip tracks forever.

So what your saying is.... There is no reason to be excited at all. Unless you have never used last.fm that is.

If there's a skip limit I'll stick with last.fm, that's a deal killer so no thanks to this and eyemeem

don't overlook the most important aspect of Pandora...
The Music Genome Project, an ambitious attempt at mapping the things that have influenced the artists we all listen to. I've been exposed to great music I likely would not have heard had it not been for The MGP.

atleast last.fm works in the uk, just tried pandora website now and it says no longer available outside the US

Favorite app

I was just wondering what everyones favorite or coolest add on app was? My latest app is compass i drove home in the gps mode.

One of the coolest apps is probably google sky.

SpringPad and Google Sky

favorite app
Currently is vlingo which is 10 bucks in the market but MTS users can get for free right now by downloading via www.vlingo.com. check it out.

Genius is free tho! o:

I would have to say GMote. It talks seamlessly with your computer, so that you have your entire music collection with you. It streams rather well... Its nice when you have a Multi TB music collection.

do you mind me asking how do you have yours set up? i was only able to get it to work via my home wifi connection (same goes for all of the "remote" apps, ie. remote desktop & rdp, phonemypc). but i need it to work from a remote location.

before the last update google maps had me off by quite a bit now its dead on and I dont lose signal as often either....

Head to DynDns.com and set up DNS account (free). Have it tied to your ip address. Then, for gmote settings, instead of your internal IP, put in your chosen web address.

Nextel eat your heart out!
My fav is the app called "tikl" it is just like nextels PTT system but for android and doesnt use your minutes! international calling say what? lol its beta and free atm... I would pay for an app that is just like nextels ptt... the beta is good but it could be better... hint hint devs!

Maybe not very exciting, but I've found I can't live without LauncherPro.
For more neat-o factor, c:geo and Robotic Guitarist.

camera 360
i use so many useful apps all the time for different things I have my favorite app of the week. Camera 360. There is free and paid. you can take a photo and it will add effects that the stock camera does not. It can take the picture and "sketch" it so it looks as someone drew it. it also does that with painting which is neat. it will also add a ghost into the pics just for fun or creepy with kids or something. It's fun. I paid for the app after using free and it adds the ability to take a b/w photo with color added to just one spot or something. it is neat.

tried the camera 360 but it drained my battery fast I still use it from time to time.

Pandora Radio, what happened to you?

Pandora used to be great and reliable and for the past few weeks it stops playing songs and skips whenever it wants. I have not done the latest update based off of reviews. Does anyone else have this issue and can anyone suggest a similar app?

yeah, Pandora has been messy as of late (really disappointing to be honest), but there's an alternative app that isn't as "streamlined" in my opinion called "Slacker Radio" which I've tried that doesn't seem to have this issue. But I personally think the interface is poorly designed and not as good a selection in my tastes.

When it works, it works fine. Maybe its there way of getting you to purchase pandora but at this rate if this is how they are going after android users, well then screw them! It works perfectly on my wifes iphone.

i like tunein radio probably the one that works the best

Does it have good randomization?

Why don't you just put music on your phone and randomize that. Pandora and other radio stations personally are a waste of data. Your phone has plenty of space.

Because most people use internet radio to listen to and discover new songs that they couldn't other wise. The fact that these services allow users to recommend/promote/demote songs in order for a user preference to be generated is a significant feature for these services.

Slacker is good for things like listening to comedy routines, its great for long road trips. I prefer pandora for finding new music or hearing a random playlist of songs I love but haven't heard in a long time. I've used pandora for years, I have faith in their devs, they'll fix whatever problems arise. Don't give up!

Pandora has been really crappy so I switched to slacker, it's been pretty good so far.

pandora just released an update today.

im suprised more people dont use last.fm, works pretty well, i usually use pandora, but i too have issues with it every once in a while, and last.fm is a great alternative, and it actually will give you info about the bands that play as well as if they are on tour or not.. everyone who reads this thread should at least try it. if nothing else, just for the ability to look up bands info

happened to me too on my commute this morning...annoying since I had full 3g signal the entire drive. I have a Pandora One account too, so, even more frustrating having paid for their service.

Just an FYI, two co-workers with iphone 4's are having the same issue with Pandora. They tried to show the superiority of all things Apple, and Pandora started skipping on them as well.

What's Your Favorite Music App For Your Xoom?

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...

Mort player its in beta but its good try it out and I know for a paid app power amp works awesome don't know if its compatible with the xoom should be.

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.

I'm impressed. I've been waiting for two alvulms to show up on Zune and one isn't even on iTunes but they have it. I'm sold.

Make an account using a proxy, after that you can just use google music freely. Anyone can share the new google music apk? I heard it's already available on the market but since we are from Europe it doesn't show up for us.

probably in about 2 years

Not sure on that one. I'm really liking where Google is going with their ecosystem. I didn't expect their store to have this many albums I needed (still looking and buying ) since I don't have mainstream musical tastes. I guess I'm gonna be upgrading to another android phone soon.

Do you still have to upload ur music via music manager? Or does the music manager simply compare your songs to those in its server and comprise your Google music collection based on the songs that match its database? Waiting days to upload thousands of songs just doesn't cut it.

Google would have been much better served to come out with something more along the lines of iTunes, a program you install on your computer and tell it what folder to watch for your music and a few minutes later, there is your 10k song library! Not to mention the stupid music manager issues. The very first time I installed Google Music to my computer I got some stupid "can only use 3 accounts on this machine" error and I couldn't upload my music until I found a workaround.....change the Mac address of my ethernet card. That's pretty weak. I think Google missed the boat with this one.

how fast does the streaming work on verizon's 3g? any hiccups in loading?

Overall, it's a great service. But Google made some mistakes,
1) No matching service.
2) Should have gone at least 25k songs to match iTunes match.
3) Not available outside the U.S.
4) Can't buy songs from your phone... yet.
The sharing and independent artists features are impressive though. And best feature of all.. IT'S FREE.

So now that this is released does anybody know if they will ever have an easy sync like iPhone and iTunes for our Android phones?

Songs you purchase from google don't count towards the 20k song limit. So, that really isn't much of an issue, IMO.
I love how they do carrier billing for tmobile, too. Guess it will come to other carriers soon.

1) a one-time issue when first uploading and only IF you own a lot of music. Just leave PC on overnight once and you're good.
2) iTunes cloud isn't free and then it still eats up all your local storage.
3) Will be soon. Plus you can use a proxy to get around it.
4) New market is being delivered as we speak. Not an issue, just takes a few days to push the app out to 100million+ users with varying phones and networks.
The sharing, artists, g+, is all awesome.
My only issue is that android app is still a little cumbersome and has an occasional issue with shuffle feature and replaying of same song. lol.
