I'm noticing lots of duplicate albums on the marketplace. Same tracks yet price difference can be as much as £5.

I have multiple Google accounts on my phone. In Gmail app, is there a way to make one of them the main primary default account? It seems to open to the last one you used, and I don't want to send an email from the wrong account. Especially since when typing in the To address, the autofill pulls from both address books.

When you compose an email, click the drop down menu at the top which lets you decide where to send email from. It defaults to whatever inbox you are currently in.

Well, for example, if you are in the Gallery and choose to share your photo via email, it will send that email from the last account you used. I want it to always choose one account. I guess it doesn't seem like it supports this feature.

This is half phone question and half app question, but is there any app in existence that can sleep/wake the phone by Proximity/Accelerometer/Magnets without needing to keep the phone in Partial Wake Lock? I think the closest I've seen is the N7 which has some magnetic smart cover support, but I wouldn't expect that in any phone hardware.

The new Clock app is a loving travesty of user interface design. Just keep the loving Holo design from before and add a stop watch and tea timer. How hard is that Google?

Is there any other good walkie-talkie/push-to-talk apps like Voxer? Preferably something also on iOS? Voxer doesn't seem to like Jelly Bean on my One X. It keeps killing the microphone forcing me to reboot or force stop it to make it work again.

This is honestly the first time online I've seen someone hate the new Clock app. The Android bloggers have such irrational love for it, I'd swear Google is paying them to fawn over it. Especially those at Android Central and Android Police. If you listened to them, you'd think the Clock app gave them blowjobs as soon as they woke up on time every single day.

The only thing I don't like about the Clock App is how counterintuitive the handling of additional clocks is - to remove one you can't do it on the main screen, you have to go back into the list and look up the city in the list to uncheck it. Let my swipe that thing away! Also, the lockscreen widget should be resized to actually show 5 clocks completely, not slightly cut off the lowest row.

LastInLine posted:I'm confused as to why someone would prefer to avoid iTunes and Amazon, both of which are far better choices than the Play Store. Even ignoring Google Music's horrible interface, iCloud Match (and I think Amazon has something similar) make having a full library of properly tagged music so easy I can't see a reason anyone would go out of their way to avoid them. Even if I were streaming music from Google's cloud there's still no way I'd actually buy from them until they can scrub my music. I hate itunes and I don't like how Apple do business. Amazon is a more a preference, I'd rather use Google so everything is in one place, I don't want music stored across different sites and the convenience of buying it from my phone is a huge pull for me. I have a 32GB card but stream from my Google account all the time to my laptop which doesn't have any music stored on it. As for tagging, I couldn't care less about it. The player I use can edit the odd song which is wrong.

FYI, Amazon has a music purchasing/playing/streaming app. Amazon also almost always has better prices and selection than Google Music. I prefer keeping all my music in one place too, though, and prefer Google Music as a service. It's a little extra work, but that means I usually buy on Amazon, download the music on my PC (which is much easier and quicker than doing the same from Google Music), then have it set to auto-upload to Google Music. While that isn't a perfect solution, it means I can have the better music selection and prices of Amazon and still use Google's preferable player and have everything tied to one account.

I'm pretty sure it downloads the MP3s in a regular format accessible by anything. PowerAMP at least picks up on the Albums I save for offline usage, and plays them without a problem. Adding a +1 for Amazon Music as well; anytime Google has a decent sale I've noticed they matched their prices. Plus they have codes for anywhere from a free song for $1, sometimes $2, to $4 off of albums.

Maybe I'll give them a rethink then. Looking at the site today and they don't look any cheaper though. Yay for inflated UK prices! Search David Bowie albums on play and they have 11 copies of 1 album at different prices.

I use AmazonMP3 to purchase music and automatically download it, and Play Music to play the music. The Amazon app downloads the files to local storage (in my case I think it's /sdcard/Amazonmp3) as MP3s, so anything will play them. The interface for finding and buying works really well in my opinion.

Cakefool posted:So can you buy from Amazon & upload to Google match? If you mean Google Play (formerly known as Google Music), then yeah, you can upload any MP3 into it. Or any unprotected AAC or whatever. I've bought music from every stupid service and it's all in my google account. (Except for a few oddball things like albums that were never upgraded to iTunes Plus or that Kraftwerk Catalogue which I ripped in a stupid format because I thought it was cool.)

Scanning barcodes of cds might be a little too easy to fake. Maybe it could have you put the disc in the drive and identify it the way cddb does?

Well someone pointed out you could just walk into a music store and scan away, but yeah I'd way prefer snapping pics of my CD collection over putting them all in my drive one-by-one. But that would still be better than ripping them all, plus it would be pretty much bulletproof identification, so if they can do something like that then awesome

Haha, "music store." Matching files is pretty cool at least. Hopefully it doesn't pull an iTunes Match and give everyone clean versions of songs. I have so much clean rap in my apple cloud.

All my physical rips sound like poo poo on my AppleTV because I made them at 192kbps so matching to iCloud to replace those with AAC was looking like my best option.
