I'm back with Android after about 1 1/2 years with IOS iPhone 6. Is there a app that comes close to Apples iTunes Radio? I got used to listening to that because it was built into IOS. I know there is Pandora, Slacker..ect. Which one is the easiest and free of course. Most of those have a limit of 6 skips a hour. I seen there is Double twist music player, but is that also radio as well? I'm looking for something where I can save certain fav groups and play that style of music. Please help me out.
Not sure this is EXACTLY what you're looking for, but IHeartRadio is a legit online radio service. You can't find specific songs like Pandora, but you can find radio stations who are simulcasting online along with their terrestrial broadcasts. I use it occasionally when I want to hear live talk shows or even the occasional commercial lol

Hi All
I would like to make an app recommendation. Those of you who miss the FM Radio. To try out this app.
I been having trouble with the LBC app on the NS getting loads of FC's, so I decided to try this one out.
I am lucky enough to have an unlimited data plan, so streaming on this was fine.
I have got to say I use this to listen to my local radio stations (LBC in particular) The quality is superb, much better than the local radio app on the market.
If you have a good data plan give this a try. Available on the Market
Disclaimer I am not affliated to tunein radio..
I've been using this app for a while. I also highly recommend it.

Use This On a Daily Basis...
Sent From a Crop Circle... with a Nexus S
this is what i use all the time
that's why on the topic of Enabling FM Radio on Nexus S i commented it was not necessary,
as we get better reception with Tunin Radio than with a real FM radio
also the same places you can receive FM radio you can receive 3G
and the best is, you can listen to Radio station from all over the world not just local FM stations using Tunin Radio
I have the paid version, Radio Time. I noticed last night, on WiFi it would it would stop a few seconds after the screen had gone off. The WiDi sleep policy is to never shut off WiFi.
Any ideas what is happening?
its an amazing app,
however, one withdraw, missing WIDGET option
Been using this for a month...great app. Love the sleep time and alarm options!
Very nice app
I've been using this app since have first android phone... Its great, and find local stations too :]
I use the alarm feature regularly. Great app
I agree great app! Been using forever, a widget would be awesome tho...

yeah great app. I was using it when I was in China to listen to some local radio stations from home.
Hello
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.

I thought this was a good question because, after i got my Droid i saw little to no use for the Ipod touch, i just wanna see how the rest of the community feels on it.
If the battery life wasn't so terrible on my D3 here, my ipod would be almost obsolete, however, the ipod is a fantastic mp3 player, and having a 64gig touch, that's quite a bit more space purely for music than what I can get on my droid. Also, I am subscribed to some podcasts, and I haven't found a good podcast app for android yet, so, my ipod touch will still see a lot of use from me. I also have an old 160gig classic ipod, and nothin is gonna touch the storage on that thing for a while.

I used my iPod Touch with my rooted wifi tether on Droid Eris because the internet seemed faster via wifi than it did on the phone, but I haven't picked it up once since I've had the Droid 3.

Get Doggcatcher. You can download and stream podcasts, it remembers your progress if you have to stop in the middle and come back a few days later, etc. Very full featured.
We have two of them and they both collect dust to be honest my wife and myself dont want to carry a phone an ipod and such.
Google Music makes stand-alone mp3 players obsolete. That's what I use. I have my entire music library on my phone without having the actual files take up space on my phone. Of course, if you have a poor or no signal, it doesn't quite work. But you can cache playlists and songs if you want to have things available offline.
I used to have an ipod touch until I got Google Music on my Inc.

I use it just for music now. No other use for it.
no, but the one thing Droid is missing is something like iTunes to sync / buy music. I know there are programs out there (I use iSyncr) that work fine, but it would be nice to have something built in.

...and nothing of value was lost.
Can't say I ever had an iTouch, but I do have (far too many) other devices. On the music front, I'm actually transitioning away form using my Droid du Jour as my default music player. More and more I find myself wanting physical, tactile controls. I've tried -- for years -- to find a dedicated Bluetooth AVRCP remote, but the closest I've found is overpriced A2DP pendants with crap battery life and terrible controls. Add the fickle hand of battery life, and I find myself reaching for the finest MP(3/4/5) player China can produce.
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.
Greez, pake

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.

the new interface is a bit funky at times, but it very easy to navigate through. however, i still love me some poweramp!
force closes!!!
I know it's probably a very unrequested feature, but I think this may be a great idea..
Put some music with your games and applications that have no sound (or only limited sounds)..
Possibly a local media play or maybe an internet radio station that wouldn't waste a ton of phone battery.
Just an idea..
