PowerAMP is pretty drat good, and it can navigate through the directory tree just fine. The Folders interface can be set up to navigate pretty much exactly like Windows Explorer, just set it to sort by hierarchy and file name. It comes with an unrestricted 2-week trial period, just give it a try.

Wagonburner posted:Subsonic is good at all 3 of those, but its a streamer and requires you to setup a server. (it caches as straight mp3 and can play from definable size cache offline) The directories it respects is your own music directory tree at home. It keeps the same dir structure in the cache. I love it. Xvid/mkv/wmv/whatever conversion to flash streaming also. You could probably make Subsonic work without a server by using offline mode.

Yeah, that's the easy part, the problem is taking the 5mp picture and making it small enough to upload but not tiny.

Is there any way to get the LauncherPro Calendar Widget to ignore certain calendars? I have them unchecked in the main calendar app, but they still show up in the widget. Also related: how the hell do I stop all of my Facebook friends' birthdays from being imported into "My Calendar"?

Splizwarf posted:I guess they turned off Google Music invites in preparation for tomorrow? I have the best timing. I dunno, I got one late yesterday or this morning. Somehow I asked for one months ago and it came through just now. Is there anyway to upload music through the Music app or mobile website? I already had the leaked app, so I'm not sure what I gained by finally getting the invite (until I upload some music from my PC, I guess).

Soliciting a Google Music invite from anyone at this point (username at gmail), would like to get in before the clock ticks 12 tonight. A question has come up as my wife and I have talked about tablets tonight: can a rooted Nook Simple Touch run the Kindle Android app? I found a small "yes" with my googling but couldn't tell if that was pleasantly useful or just a barely-functional proof-of-concept. Her main issue is a lot of her books are in .mobi and none of the format converters we've tried have done a great job (mostly leaving a shitload of arrows all over the place).

I think the EMIT guy still posts here so I thought I'd say the app works very well on the Kindle Fire. I'm using the "High * Dual Core" profile. This is really helpful because not only is the Fire restricted on storage, but it also won't even play XviD/h.264 files that are copied via USB. So Emit is a great solution.

LastInLine posted:The best file browser is EStrong's File Explorer which not only does root browsing but also uploads to Dropbox natively. That said, it seems like it does it kind of (extremely) slowly. I need to file a bug with the dev on that. But you could combine that with Dropsync to have a folder that automatically syncs to Dropbox (albeit only one folder and only on a schedule on the free version). Regarding EStrong's, how do you make it browse root folders? I had to buy Astro to fix the HTC spy scare business, but of course it'd be nice to only have one file browser and really know how to use it.

Duckman2008 posted:Either way, have you tried caliber for converting? Works great for me going the other way (epub to mobi). Yeah, that app is definitely the top of the heap; it does work very well going that direction, but so far every .mobi that we've fed into the input hopper has come out sort of lovely. Issues range from leftover arrows to random font changes to big dead spaces to mangled text; mostly just leftover arrows, but still irritating enough that the Kindle app would be preferable. Also she's not jazzed about loving with a converter in the first place, she's coming from the Apple environment where stuff just works. I found some more definitive stuff about how well the Kindle app works on a rooted Simple Touch last night after I posted, so I think we're both getting them now.

Doctor rear end in a top hat posted:If you long press on the applet, does a bar appear across the top with a rectangle on the left? If you press that it should go fullscreen. On some of them you can also double-tap the applet. Do you know of a way to have it stretch to fill the screen? When I click that maximize button, it basically keeps the flash video in the center with a huge black border on all sides. It could be the original resolution of the video, but is there a way to fill the screen with it?

It could be the original resolution of the video, but is there a way to fill the screen with it? When you press the maximize button, it just maximizes the Flash applet itself, so the video you're looking at is probably a widescreen video in a more squarish applet. I don't think you can change Flash's behavior, but you can probably get it the size you want by pinch-zooming on the page itself.

I've never wanted for a flash "app" on a PC but there have been plenty of times on my android (mainly my local news site) I've wished I could launch a flash video in a seperate purpose-built player rather than in the browser. Because of stuff like this mainly. That and sometimes (33% maybe) the long-press to get the top bar (to go full screen) doesn't work, I've never had double-tapping work. You have to zoom way in to click whatever fullscreen button the content provider put there.

For me, if I pause the video then I can get it to pop up every time.

I use Opera Mobile for most my browsing needs, I actually enjoy reading the SA forums more with it than the Awful app, but it's still a little wonky for flash. For Flash content it's either stock for my phone or boat browser on my tablet.

Yeah, the thing to keep in mind is that Google makes most of their money on using or reselling your usage data. The don't need to charge you anything to make money off knowing what your music preferences are.
