Is it worth the 7$ for the app can you download podcast and video podcast and stream play as well?

Goggle listen is simple but free and works very well. You can stream if you please but i always download. It will also delete after you listen
Most of the them you can download and stream at the same time.... Beyond pod and doggcatcher seem to be the favorites

weird thing is 'listen' is made by google itself, i think it says pretty much... ehehe
Beyondpod is my favourite, but Doggcatcher is very good as well. Both are worth what they cost and both will import your Google Reader and Listen subscriptions.
I thought would start this post since I didn't see one where people could some of there favorite video apps that don't come stock on the N7. Her is my list:
1. Netflix - pretty good app and greatest availability of streaming movies you will find from a monthly service.
2. Xfinity Player: Nice updates to the UI for 7 inch tablets and really good for catching up on old episodes of Spartacus.
3. Crunchyroll: The premiere app for watching animes that are subbed and best of all they have a free option that works over Wi-Fi. Doesn't work over Bluetooth tethering, but ICS built in Wi-Fi tethering is just fine if you don't mind the ads.
4. HomeDia: A nice free app that allows you to stream videos on your home network. I paired mine up with plex media server since you have to pay for tversity and it has worked well. If it doesn't play a video just use a third video player app like rockplayer.
5. Dailymotion: To be honest the only reason I use this app is to catch up with subbed anime episodes of OnePiece, outside of that nothing really else for me.
The good thing about these apps are they are free to download and numbers 1, 2, and 5 have apps for the Xbox 360. Well those are mine, so what are yours?

Crackle has some good free movies and tv shows. I also like to browse vimeo using the app, there are lots of cool videos on there.
If you like to watch current TV DROID TV Primetime actually works very well on the N7. There are quite a few free shows but for @$9 for three months you can get shows like Game of Thrones, Mad Men, Greys Anatomy, and dozens of others. I have used it for over a year on my DROID X and it sizes up really well to the 7inch for factor.

Are you doing this on a N7?
I had problems with it on my N7 in that I couldn't get it to lower/hide the info when the video was playing. Unless I am missing something .... On my phone it worked just fine.
UPDATE
Now if this isn't stupid on my part..... if you touch the video when it is playing, a icon shows on the bottom left to make it Full Screen... thought I had tried everything...

Thanks I didnt know that Crackle would work with the N7 unless I installed flash. So far it looks pretty good, I just dont like how the UI doesn't work that well in portrait mode. Hey that's what updates are for.

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.

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.
So who's thinking about subscribing to all access and keeping the service?
I'm on the trail version now but I think I maybe keeping it. I really like that you could listen to any song or album and let it play completely all the way through it. The new ui is nice and all but I like the color to stay blue.
So what's on y'all mine?

I've been using Spotify Premium for over a year now, and I have to say that after trying Google Music the service is kind of disappointing. I mean, the service itself is great, but the UI, Apps and the fact that it's browser only is really really disappointing.
I used it for about 20 min and I just couldn't deal with it. Let me provide some details. If you're on your desktop with Spotify (Windows 7), you can hover over the Spotify tab and you will get backward, pause, and forward buttons on the live previews in Windows 7. This doesn't work in Music because it's a browser based app.
I also find the UI kind of hard to navigate through. It looks nice and all with the Google Now theme, but it's just not... intuitive IMO.
I really wanted to switch over, but it looks like I'm going to stick with Spotify for now.

Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
I think its a good start. Yes it could be a little more intuitive but I don't have any real issues with it. I have been waiting for Google to release a music service as I have used Zune/Xbox Music when I had my windows phone and excited I can get the same service for cheaper on my Android now.
I was very excited about All Access after hearing about it this morning. I signed up for the trial but not sure if I will keep it. The biggest drawback for me is not being able to save an offline library on my phone. It looks like the phone has to be connected Internet and able to stream while playing. This is not practical because most people has capped data plans and not to mention we can't get reliable service everywhere. So anytime you are out of 3g area you won't be able to listen anything. I also have had Spotify since the launch and being able to keep offline list on three devices have been very nice. I hope to see a similar option on Google music otherwise I will stick to Spotify.

i use spotify on my phone and have always saved for offline. I want to switch to play music because i hate the spotify app and the lack of being able to sort by artist. i have remade most of my spotify playlists in play music and want to save for offline, but for some reason the download process is taking really long and keeps failing even though i am on wifi. its really annoying is anyone else having this problem?
edit: has been trying to download a single song for over an hour, really annoying because everything else is great besides this. i am going to try reinstalling to see if that helps
I think it gives the option to download for just one song (each song or album separate, not the entire library nor the list). Just to be clear, you guys are talking about the option that says 'keep on device'?

I am just curious if I can listen in two devices at the same time from a downloaded list? I know it doesn't work while streaming. On Spotify I can just turn the offline MODE on and be able to listen in two devices independently. (good way to share the cost of the monthly fee, if you have a family in same household)

Thanks for the quick replies! I tried streaming from both computer and my phone earlier and it kicked me out from one multiple times. This doesn't happen right away but it happens after a minute or so. That's why I was wondering if having the song on the device could eliminate this problem.

Sample videos. These are delivered with almost all the devices. Its like the sample videos, pictures and music on newly installed Windows
yeah, I always delete them. It's only a few mb, but they take up unnecessary space.
Those videos do actually serve a purpose, they were used in Google Talk when you're in a video chat and you enable the sunset/space backdrops. Though I imagine they'll be removed in the future now that Talk has been replaced with Hangouts (which lacks the backdrop feature)
Still they are something people normally don't know.(I guess)
