This post was stupid and redundant because I don't know how to read.

Spotify is awesome so far though.

Plus, Chris, you're skewing your Stuff White People Like demo with this whole Android thing, dude. How can you be a smug hipster with thick rimmed glasses and Toms shoes and NOT have an iPhone?

I jailbroke my old one for Tmobile and ported my home phone number to it. So I do still have an iPhone.

I signed up but I think I'm done with cloud/streaming things on my phone until I can get something that either doesn't cut out every couple of seconds or doesn't crash my phone. It might just be the Gingerbread update for Android though.

I'm a little scared of the Gingerbread update. Right now, my phone feels like the baddest motherfucker on the planet; I'm hoping GB won't do to it what IOS4 did to my Iphone 3G.

Not to reopen the Android/iphone debate again, but so far everything I've heard that the Iphone 5 can do I'm like "my phone does that already"

yeah i'm really angry that my phone is basically a POS right now. it'll restart whenever i use google music or pandora for more than 5 minutes. i use audiogalaxy mostly because that's the most stable app for me to play music on. it also just randomly plays songs from either google music or my sd card whenever i have bluetooth enabled and turn on my car, different apps will start up when it's been in my pocket for awhile, battery life sucks, etc.

yail, have you ever rooted a phone? i was wondering about that and if maybe it'd be worth it.

Yail Bloor · **Posted:** Tue Aug 02, 2011 7:43 am

I haven't. I've thought about it because the only downside of my phone is the preinstalled shit I never use. I don't feel like it slows my phone down though right now but stay tuned.

I saw somewhere that Honeycomb is coming this week for my phone. Gritting my teeth.

TCB sent me a google+ AND a spotify invite, but I honesty have no idea what spotify does - except after reading this thread I can surmise it's something akin to Shazam with a pandora/recommend tastes type add on, and you can play or stream the songs instead of just buy them?

It's basically Rhapsody, with a sharing component. I had Rhapsody off/on for a few years, so they may have added the sharing aspect since I left. So, you can make & share playlists and stream tracks or albums. It really sucks at going down a rabbit hole on an artist though, and the iPhone app doesn't even have a way to see your friends shit nor related artists.

The Broad is toying around with Rdio, which sounds like Rhapsody with a focus on music discovery.

Spotify. I d/l/d it, and I guess I can search and play a bunch of stuff that I might like but I don't have to steal it or what?

Anyone mainly use this on their desktop and stream music to airtunes or whatever? I can't figure out how to get it to play over my wireless speakers, basically.

It will cost you a little money, but I think what you're looking for is AirFoil

I'm going to have to figure this out soon myself.

Promethium · **Posted:** Wed Aug 17, 2011 12:44 am

I have definitely enjoyed it for the past few weeks. I just need to spend sometime listening to a bunch of albums I have missed this year and then randomly check out a bunch of stuff as well.

The only reason I haven't is my AirPort Express died and I haven't replaced it yet. Should be remedying that soon.

I'm going to get my 10 minutes and then buy this bitch. Works perfectly. Hopefully they're busy stealing my identity as well.

Senator LooGAR · **Posted:** Wed Aug 17, 2011 2:59 pm

O yeah - they're not even fucking around with this "we'll broadcast noise over your system after 10 minutes" shit. My head still hurts, but I coughed up my money. Thanks for the tip, CBK.
