[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ohmster:
Drewski,

Please, I do not want to fight with anyone here. This is a "great place to be" and I will bend over backwards to help anyone. I apologize when necessary and admit my mistakes and that I do not "know it all". You are a decent guy, even people I don't particularly get along with, I make peace and friends with.

When I did all the testing, I was irritable and a little "scared". I have a phobia about needles and blood tests. I had one scheduled for the next morning (Just did it about ½ an hour ago.), the kind where you cannot eat or drink anything but water after midnight. I really "need" coffee and a bite to wake up and the test was after 11:00 AM. Really bad morning in store for me. Of course the place was crowded. Unless I get a "really good, really experienced" blood tech, they stab me over and over again, nothing but air, and it makes me nauseous, hot flashes, dizzy, pass out, or run away as fast as I can. Not only that, I have other, mounting medical issues that have me scared to death with this new ObamaCare system. So yeah I was really worried about it and I was irritable. If I came off as intolerant or mean, I did not mean it and I am sorry.

Somebody mentioned 128 Gb SD cards that work in our phones. Has anybody seen one, used one, or tried one? They work and you really get that much storage on your phone? Wow, look at this!

SanDisk Ultra 128 GB microSDXC

That one looks kind of "fat". I wonder if it would fit in our phones? What does microSDCA mean? Is that a different spec that will not work in our phones? I wonder what the biggest SD card we can put in our phones is?

If I have a gig on each card free (16 Gb SD cards), I consider myself lucky. I didn't see where DumbleCore stated that he does not have unlimited data. That does not mean he didn't say it, I just did not see where he said it. Play Music DOES play local music on the device. Personally, I think Power Amp Pro is the *best* local, "on device" music player there is. If he wants to play local music, I would suggest Power Amp but he did ask about Play Music. I tried it, like it, told him all I know and went a lot farther to actually test if Play Music would play music or mp3 files that are not retail, common, or "cataloged". He has 27 Gb of music on his SD Card alone and is a music addict. that 27 Gb is a mere fraction of his collection. I know people like that, they have hundreds of gigs of music stored, most of which I never heard of. And most of it compressed with FLAC as to not lose ANY quality of the sound at all. Mp3 is a lossy codec. FLAC is not. But FLAC files are big and not many players will play them without the codec installed. Unless DumbleCore carries around

a very large capacity

USB drive, plugs it in, mounts it, I know of no other way to have that much music available on a cell phone w/out streaming.

DumbleCore agrees that Power Amp is the best player there is and he likes and uses it. He just wanted to know more about Play Music because I was so impressed with it. I had time on my hands, had some worrisome issues on my mind, and the best way to keep these issues at bay is to get busy with something. So, I put Play Music through it's paces, for DumbleCore and anyone who wants to know. But I may have come off as less than "cheery" due to my own personal issues on my mind.

I look in the mirror every time I wash my face, shave, or brush my hair or teeth,drewski. What do you expect me to find there that I am missing? What I did for DumbleCore and anyone else interested was to investigate Play Music, find out what it can and cannot do, and ways to make it do what you want. Personally, I like it and admit that I am *very* surprised to find myself saying that because I thought it was just Google's version of iTunes. Pay for *something* every time I turn around. Not much, 99¢ here, 59¢ there, 15 songs @ 99¢ each, that will be $14.85 please. It's not like that at all. iTunes will not give you mp3 files because DRM is not built into them. Play Music does use mp3 files so DRM is not an issue. Google is not trying to "Police your Music", they only make it available on your Android device. Either streaming your home collection or by playing what is on the SD cards in the device.

Oh, and if I sounded mean, fed up, or just unfriendly, I do so apologize. I was not myself yesterday due to medical issues. Both present and forthcoming. This new Healthcare thing is killing me, I swear!

DumbleCore, everything I told you yesterday was proven fact. If I came off as mean or "with an attitude", please ignore it. I really wasn't myself yesterday. Too much stuff to worry about can beat anyone down, at times. You are a music lover and I respect that. I was exasperated because I could not think of what kind of answer you were looking for. So, I gave you all I could find. You make the final decision. Sounds to me like you are a Power Amp Pro guy. I was too until I ran out of card space. Since Verizon begged me to stay with a promise of "lifetime unlimited data", I could not pass it up. At that time, NO ONE was offering unlimited data anymore. Not since people started watching HDTV on their phones and tablets, pressing the carrier's data stream to it's limits. Oh crap, speaking of Verizon, I have to run and make a payment. I hope you are not mad at me, I really tried to answer anything you could think of about Play Music. Take care my friend, and by all means, ROCK ON DUDE!

Roger that, I didn't quite understand. If I came off as irritable or mean, please accept my apologies. I have a LOT on my mind and none of it is your fault. Oh, if you have a home network, there are music and video players that will allow you to play your computer's total media content over the home WiFi, no need for cables or anything and they work pretty good. Media House is pretty good and for $3.99, they have a Pro version.

Now I know you do not have unlimited data, prefer to play local files, and when the need arises, you play off of a USB cable. If you do have WiFi in your house, perhaps Media House or a similar app would be good for you. Sorry about any confusion. Take care dude. :good:
