Yeah it was released here ( http://techfrom10.com/2011/04/the-android-test-market/ ) it's a lot better then the other app especially the background and the icon lol. Although I wish someone could get this one to sync but I question wether the first one actually synced or not I don't I ever did get it to work.
[EVO 4G General] nickhaven:
Just a thought

After the Leaked Music App was installed on my device, I no longer have the Music Sync option in the my Google sync settings that came with the Gold Speaker Music App. I did tried to update to the Gold Speaker Music App after I got the leaked music app working however the Gold Speaker Music App replaced both music apps.

Thought I would add: I was doing this in hopes that I would get the Jumper and the Sync option with the new Leaked Music App, just in case Syncing would start working. Maybe this is the key to get the Google Music Sync to work again and I hope someone smarter than me can figure this out.
[EVO 4G General] tejeskifly:
noob question, but how can i remove the stock music player?

just delet the apk from system/app?
[EVO 4G General] nickhaven:
If you are a root user titanium backup will uninstall system apps.
[EVO 4G General] publicanimal:
Google Launched their cloud music service today, but it's invitation only. I have a Xoom and there was an update to the Music player today which is probably related.
[EVO 4G General] silenthatred:
And replace free with costs money to use on mobile after 30 days. :)
[EVO 4G General] mathp86:
Thanks for information buddy.
[EVO 4G General] marksmithbvs:
Alternatively, store it on your desktop from some other source and then transfer it on your memory card. If you are having syncing problem it is for sure that you can not access it until you have a connection.

[EVO 4G General] UkRaInIaN01355:
I wonder what the size of the cloud space we get is, then... kinda wanna try and see if it'll take in my 35 gb music library.
[EVO 4G General] DomSim:
syncing now! wonder how long 10gb will take to sync over 4g
[EVO 4G General] lakers1624:
If this only for android 2.3.3?
[EVO 4G General] david279:
Got this working on my vision. Hmmmm wonder where its syncing too?
[EVO 4G General] SilverStone641:
you guys don't know where it's sending your music to?!? :p:D
[EVO 4G General] 94tbird:
Right to the RIAA lol
[EVO 4G General] SilverStone641:
lol! Thats exactly what i was thinking! :D
[EVO 4G General] matrix2004:
How did you get it to work?

Edit: Nevermind it works.
[EVO 4G General] cesarcerros31:
Ok I keep getting fc what did any of you do to keep unforceclosing

Sent from my gingerbread evo 4g
[EVO 4G General] mustangboy88:
I have a different issue. Mine see the albums but wont play any songs. This is for the songs on the SD. And another question, where do you place the songs for the cloud?
[EVO 4G General] sobis1dm:
I really wish there was a progress bar or something... I have no idea if its working/stuck/fooling me/where its at
[EVO 4G General] bronxknight28:
Endless sync I'm getting, boo :(
[EVO 4G General] sultan.of.swing:
I woke up this morning and for some strange reason I had a whole bunch of new music on my PC. All I can say is thanks Guy's.
[EVO 4G General] elegantai:
Sorry, off topic, but audio galaxy rocks my socks off.thx :D
[EVO 4G General] dcarr622:
Do you guys have the honeycomb app alongside the regular gingerbread app? that's the only way it works for me.

In the process of syncing 3.5gb of music as a test. If it seems to finish/work, I'll add more :)
[EVO 4G General] woeds:
Has anyone actually gotten this to work yet? Could that person maybe post screenshots of the stuff JumperTest is displaying?

I let it sync overnight, with only five mp3's on my phone, but it just never completes the sync.
[EVO 4G General] HazzBazz:
Please update on progress, really interested in whether this actually works. Can't find any addresses in logcat apart from clients4.google.com/chrome-sync/command/?client_id=55555 address which requires me to sign in but doesn't seem to lead anywhere.
[EVO 4G General] DomSim:
Which nightly are you on? This happened to me but its because I'm on nightly 8 I believe which is 2.3.2 open states he has the latest which is 2.3.3 which would need nightly 11 or 12. (I haven't updated cause 12 seems to break my Bluetooth :( but will try this again with nightly 13)
[EVO 4G General] drmacinyasha:
While this is great, there's one enormous problem:

Reading files off the SD card takes a fraction of the power as streaming a 192kbps MP3 over 3G/WiFi. Never mind a FLAC file...
[EVO 4G General] davenukem:
You're missing the point. If this goes live it means our entire music collection (I wonder how much space they will offer?) will be in the cloud. Imagine going to a buddy's house and playing your playlist through a simple login. I feel like having the capability on our phones is a fringe benefit.

[EVO 4G General] marc.ientilucci:
How do I set up the sync on the PC side? Is there a sever app or option on goog somewhere?
[EVO 4G General] drmacinyasha:
And what happens when you have no Internet connection?

I'd rather just have a 32GB C10 microSD card.
[EVO 4G General] rican408:
Can someone show me where a working apk is? Everytime I find one that used to work is just force closes and the icon looks funny.
[EVO 4G General] renizo:
I have the sync on my gmail settings, so now what how do i access my music from my computer ?
[EVO 4G General] matt2053:
You can do that now with any of several different programs. Audiogalaxy, Subsonic, etc.
[EVO 4G General] Jelte12345:
Yes, but this one will probably be usable by other applications as well, because it's on your Google account. So it will be usable by you're favorite musicplayer app on your phone or pc. (If the option gets implemented of course)
[EVO 4G General] schneider232003:
Hey just an fyi I got this working on myns rls 5 very interesting but still no eq settings sadness
[EVO 4G General] KyleK29:
Ya know, it'd make sense (not to the RIAA of course, they'd throw a fit) if Google scanned the uploads for music signatures, then just crosslinked duplicate files. By you "syncing" your copy with their service, it'd indicate that you had a "license" for that song and thereby gain access to it. Instead of having a ton of storage-pools of songs for each Android user.

I

highly

doubt they do that, but that'd be smart on their end (saving massive storage).
[EVO 4G General] A5J4DX:
wow awesome
[EVO 4G General] unknownrebelx:
Great idea! Only problem would be with idiots (such as myself) mislabeling ID3 tags making it impossible to link the files up..or would link to the wrong song. :o

Still, if they were looking for the cheapest way to do this, that's the way I would go.

Anybody run that logcat yet and find out where it's getting sent?:p
[EVO 4G General] Nueb35:
logcat showed that they were connecting to

clients4.google.com/chrome-sync/command/?client_id=55555

personally, I doubt my client_id is 55555, the app might be sync ready, but I don't think its really implemented yet
[EVO 4G General] drmacinyasha:
So yeah, s'more problems...

How much space do you think Google will give you? Will we have to buy more space that's shared with Gmail, Picasa, etc.?

If Google just does a Soundhound/Shazam type of thing on uploaded songs to deduplicate files, what will the quality be? I don't want to upload my FLAC rips to only get 128kbps MP3s streamed back to me.

There's also a major bug currently in Gingerbread which prevents proper streaming of audio. How does this get around that bug? Is Google "cheating" by putting their own media framework in the Music.apk (like what Pandora does), or have they created some solution to the bug and just not shared it with developers or in the SDK documentation (which, by the way, would piss off lots of developers and users like no tomorrow).

How will the carriers respond to this? It'll obviously crank up bandwidth usage like no tomorrow (especially for high-quality files. 256kbps MP3's for eight hours translates to about 1GB of data transfer, while most European/Asian carriers don't even have unlimited data plans, and only Sprint still has a truly unlimited plan).

And hey, let's not forget my original problems: The battery power needed to stream a file over 3G/WiMAX/WiFi/LTE/HSPA+ is horrendous compared to the power needed to read a file off the SD card, and what happens when you have no Internet service?

Can you cache files to your SD card before hand? Will those files have to be encrypted to prevent you from "pirating" them, even though you already uploaded them? (And yes, the RIAA is that paranoid, along with their various worldwide counterparts)

To be honest, I think the carriers are going to kill this like no tomorrow. Especially AT&T and Verizon.
[EVO 4G General] blunden:
Well, most EU carriers have what most US carriers calls "unlimited" plans, ie. a cap and then just lowered speed (no extra charge). It would just probably be illegal to call that unlimited here since it isn't. Truly unlimited plans do also exist as part of more expensive all-you-can-eat style plans. For the "up to 80 Mbit/s (10 Mbit minimum guaranteed)" LTE plan there seems to be a 30 GB cap of the type I mentioned which is pretty low in my opinion.

If they implement it similarly to how Spotify already works and has on Android for quite some time, ie. cache the music encrypted on the sdcard (or allows you to sync playlists to work in offline mode) it shouldn't really be a problem. Just like you mentioned. Sure, it will drain some battery but it's worth it if you don't do it all day. :)
[EVO 4G General] luigi90210:
if its anything they will block it and make you pay extra for it(att and verizon), maybe some carriers will allow it and let you stream music(sprint and tmobile). this is speaking of course with in the USA, idk much about carriers outside of the US so idk how they would handle it

who knows maybe they(meaning carriers) will give you unlimited data and just sell you mobile speed(like cable companies which is better imo)
[EVO 4G General] wuyanks:
please somebody prove me wrong, but it seems like all it is "syncing" is the locally stored music (on the phone). it's actually doing nothing IMO.... i've been fiddling with the player and jumpertest for the past 25 minutes, and all that comes up is what is locally stored...

edit: don't you think you would need some sort of server initiation? what would you be triggering google to sync, aside from what's locally stored on the phone? i guess it can be tested if, after syncing, we remove the locally stored music and see if it still comes up....
[EVO 4G General] drmacinyasha:
Most cable companies actually have a soft-cap. For example, Comcast technically limits you to 250GB/month. Others have an "excessive usage" clause in their TOS. Outside of the US, "unlimited usage" plans are rare.
[EVO 4G General] otto888:
Insert a blank SDCard. Your music is still there. Its syncing.
[EVO 4G General] theearthisflat:
anyone try it on stock 2.3.3 ? would installing this .apk just update it to 3.0, or not work at all?
[EVO 4G General] cabbieBot:
Question: OP says he replaced the 2.3 app with the 3.0 app.

Does the honeycomb app need to be in /system/app where music.APK lives, or can it be installed like normal apps to data?

I did the latter. I agreed to permissions and set to sync which I believe my nookcolor is doing now. How long is this taking ppl? I'm on a slow crappy wifi.
[EVO 4G General] wrapkgb:
Regardless of how much battery it uses, not having an internet connection etc. its still a pretty sweet feature. I have about ~30 gigs of music alone and 100+ gigs of movies, now being able to sync music with Google I can now put more movies and some music (incase there's no data connection) . I think all in all its pretty cool. My only concern is, where is this syncing to and since it's working now why hasn't Google said anything about it. Isn't this the same music apk that ships with the xoom?
[EVO 4G General] dangal:
do not work for me in the legend,any ideas,i have cm7 night 12,uninstall nusic 2.3.3 and install music 3.0
[EVO 4G General] otto888:
Nope. The Xoom has a newer, but syncless, version. This is the one shown at I/O 2010.
[EVO 4G General] luigi90210:
well blunden how the data plans work in EU so if its similar outside than no one will have to worry about being charge but even with an excessive usage clause in place if the carriers limit you to 50 GB(or lower because most people dont use more than 2-3 GB of data monthly) of data before terminating your account i believe more people will buy it instead of that tiered data crap
[EVO 4G General] wrapkgb:
Nermind. Lol. Indirectly answered above!

Music with virtuous ROM

Just read over your post in ref to the honeycomb music player and thought I would give it a try. It's working so far, I am running the virtuous ROM on the Droid Incredible. I was unable to make it work previously, seems like the jumper test info you posted did the trick. Thanks for sharing the info. It has been mentioned and I have to agree, where does it synch the songs to, and I don't recall telling my laptop to synch, so how did it get my music?
[EVO 4G General] marc.ientilucci:
so does this only sync the music from your SD card?
[EVO 4G General] dougiefresh36:
How do you get the music on your pc in the cloud for it to sync?
[EVO 4G General] jesusice:
It's syncing on my Evo Shift w/CM7 :) All criticisms aside, you won't have to sync/stream your music if you don't want. For those of us who like to have the option it is a freakin' sweet development.

^ Shift Faced
[EVO 4G General] .ili.music.ili.:
I've set up the syncing, but how do I point to the music on my pc?
[EVO 4G General] wrapkgb:
At this point you can only sync music from your SD card.
[EVO 4G General] .ili.music.ili.:
So this means I can put all of my music on my sdcard, upload it to the cloud, then delete it from the sd card?
[EVO 4G General] wrapkgb:
Yes.

10char
[EVO 4G General] graffixnyc:
But it kind of sucks that you need a connection.. Often times I'm listening to music on the NYC subway where there is no signal. Is there a way to flag some files to download from the cloud so you can listen without a connection?

Also anyone know the storage limit yet? I have over 20 gigs of music on my SD card
[EVO 4G General] UkRaInIaN01355:
Is this going insanely slow for anyone else? I put one song on my SD to test it, and it's been syncing over 4g for about 45 minutes with no indication of any change.

FC Problem

My HTC Droid Eris is rooted with android 2.3.3 cm7 and after downloaded it and installed it and tried to open it, it would begin to force close all the time. What is the solution to this problem? :confused:
[EVO 4G General] emaster101:
to solve the FC issue you will need to be on the stock theme. I could not get it to work with the honeybread theme....use theme manager to go to stock, reinstall and see if that clears up the FC's.
[EVO 4G General] emaninthenation:
It is still FC'ing even after switching to stock theme. People are posting deleting the stock music app helps but when I go to /system/app on rootexplorer and try to delete it it says "music.apk cannot be deleted bc the file system is read-only"
[EVO 4G General] mustangboy88:
Mount the system as r/w then you can move it

Swyped from my CyanoSavaged Evo
[EVO 4G General] emaninthenation:
crap

so i managed to delete the stock music app and installed the music3 apk but it still force closes. imma reboot it to see if it works but i doubt it.

[EDIT] Reboot didn't help. I think it has to do with the rom or something idk any suggestions???
[EVO 4G General] emaster101:
what rom are you on?
[EVO 4G General] emaninthenation:
I'm running Tazz Gingerbread v10 on Droid Eris
[EVO 4G General] br13an:
I have read 9 pages for now, but where can i sync my music from on the pc to get it on the player on the phone?
[EVO 4G General] RazorHail:
I actually use HTC SenseHD (2.2.1)

and it works just fine - i can install it and play music without any problems

it doesnt relpace the standard music app, because the standard music app on Sense is the htc-musicplayer

I've also attached some pictures for the people who are interested

strangely - after I choose music sync in the menu - all my music disappears in the list.....

...and its already been syncing since yesterday...(although i have around 10gb of music store on there :P )
[EVO 4G General] RazorHail:
you chose this app to sync all your music that is stored on your SD-card

that music will be uploaded to the google-servers (although there is no access to it yet.....I'm assuming there will be some sort of web-interface to manage all your music)

then, if you had other android devices with this music app, and u turned on music sync - it will show you all the music that you have stored in the cloud - and you can play all of them right from the cloud

you also have the option to turn on caching - that means: if a song gets played once, it will be (temporarily) stored on the sd-card, so that it doesnt need to redownload it everytime you want to play it

kind of like mSpot

(you can go ahead and download mSpot right now - its free, and u get 2 gigs of storage)

the question is: how much storage does google give you
[EVO 4G General] irish22022:
hm, interesting. works for me, each time I click on a song, for a split second it says "buffering". This is all good and fine, but I live in NYC, so I need music on subways and such, so the cloud isn't the most ideal thing. I can always put other songs on my cloud though just to have.

the real problem is the hideous widget. Has anyone ever themed it?
[EVO 4G General] :
Not working on my Legend, CM7 build #12

Keeps FC'ing

EDIT: Just noticed there is now a build #13 - lucky for some? I'll try that one...
[EVO 4G General] RazorHail:
well, the cool thing is, that you have stored everything in the cloud

so if you'd ever lose your phone, you can just access everything again - thats the whole point of cloud computing

there should be some sort of "download all" option, which automatically caches everything at once, so that you can also access it offline (as long as you have enough space left on your sd-card)
[EVO 4G General] pzvv:
Does anyone use this music player just for the aesthetics of it all? I mean the last time I used it it forced closed in landscape and it diet display the names of songs in the notification bar.

Anyone still getting these issues?
[EVO 4G General] OnEnExUsOnE:
So with this I could technically sync all the music I have on my sd card right now to the cloud, then delete it all off my sd card, then put other songs back on my sd card that I dont want to sync, and I could listen to it all? But only the cloud songs if I have a connection?
[EVO 4G General] RazorHail:
well, you cant really chose what to sync and what not to sync

it will sync everything in your media-library

I'm guessing you'll only be able to delete stuff from the web-interface
[EVO 4G General] OnEnExUsOnE:
ok so I deleted the stock music app, downloaded and installed the honeycomb music app, turned on music sync with my google account. and in the status bar it shows the syncing icon, and under settings, stream music is checkmarked. but all the music in my music library disappeared and nothing is syncing. Not sure what to do next?

Edit: Ok so when I unchecked stream music in the music settings, all my music from my sd card came back. But im not sure how to tell if my music is synced or not. kinda stuck, and confused. :/
[EVO 4G General] KarlosTheJackal:
So just to make sure I understand this: This will stream your music back to you? as in not use up any space on your SD Card unless you cached it?
[EVO 4G General] Martyn.h:
can someone who has this working go to 127.0.0.1:10087/Play/ on their phone and see if anything happens.

[EVO 4G General] jorisvdende:
Tried this. Doesn't work here. Page not found.
[EVO 4G General] Martyn.h:
OK thanks - was looking through the source code and found a few references to this URL. Wonder what that's all about then....?
[EVO 4G General] KarlosTheJackal:
Maybe that's when playing cached files?
[EVO 4G General] jobryan26:
I am running WarmZ TwoPointTwo (I think 3/5 nightly) and mine is syncing. I also have about 10gig of music on my sdcard so I'll have to wait and see where this goes. Only weird thing I've seen so far is if my phone is vertical inside the music players it's blank. If I turn my phone horizontal.. placeholders shows up.
[EVO 4G General] jorisvdende:
Yeah.. could be.

Only 'problem' here is, after 'syncing on' for the whole weekend, when I check there are no music files at all (apart from the MP3's on my SD). How can I check if anything is uploaded at all, without deleting the MP3's from my SD? Removing the SD is not really an option (because I use ext. 4, cache, etc.).

Thanks.
[EVO 4G General] jobryan26:
Might sound stupid but try turning your phone into landscape position while in the music player.. (see my post above). Mine is blank when vertical, but they show up when phone is horizontal. Worth a shot!
[EVO 4G General] KarlosTheJackal:
I think you might have to delete the MP3's off your SD for it to sync back.
[EVO 4G General] KarlosTheJackal:
Got it working here, but it doesn't scrobble to Last.FM which is a deal breaker for me. Shame :(
[EVO 4G General] jesusice:
Went back to Stock 2.2 and it still syncs. Doesn't seem exclusive to CM7.

^ Shift Faced
[EVO 4G General] jorisvdende:
Then I might try removing them all from my SD tonight when I'm at home and see if they, or some, turn up when syncing.

Since I don't know and can't check what files, if any, are actually uploaded (so I wouldn't know which ones to delete).
[EVO 4G General] fortuneman:
same here on Desire HD with stock Froyo + Sense. I am able to install but as soon as I check the Stream checkbox, all my music disappears. I guess I have to wait.. :-)

EDIT: but the songs do show up when I turn the screen to the landscape position..funny. anyway, I am not sure whether the music syncs or not, what files are being synced and so on. I kind of need to know as I have almost 30gigs of music on my card :-)
[EVO 4G General] RazorHail:
I've been waiting for 2 days already....noting :P
[EVO 4G General] silverjack:
I use subsonic on a Linux server and not only does it allow me to stream my music but it transcodes all my divx movies to flv and streams it. Absolutely love it. Least u know where my **** is as opposed to blind uploading.
[EVO 4G General] jorisvdende:
Landscape or portait, Library option 'All music', 'Only streamed' or 'Only kept', it still shows 'No items' here, this dispite it was syncing almost all weekend (at least, that was showing in my status bar).

It would be very usefull if we could check the actual upload progress somewere...
[EVO 4G General] CelticLo:
where on the SD card does it look for the music library?
[EVO 4G General] fortuneman:
everywhere, I would say :) I have all my music in a folder called "hudba" - which means music in Slovak - and any Android music player finds it instantly.
[EVO 4G General] Bingley:
IMO I think they'll need to release a front-end app for this via the web and/or desktop, much like Picasa but for music. 'Moatzart' or something :) (moat - all around you, art=music; from Mozart=dead but awesome composer)

Oh, and improve batter life ten fold for streaming music.

Would love this to be officially announce. All I can think is, poor Apple :)
[EVO 4G General] RazorHail:
lol

the media server just scans the entire sd-card for all music-format that he knows

it doesnt matter where they are, they will all be indexed

the downside to this method is.....it never indexes new files, when u want it to :P
[EVO 4G General] CelticLo:
which means mine is def broken.

ok, lets do a fresh install of both rom and music player
