Remember that with Spotify you can download playlists to the device so you don't stream any of those songs. For my listening habits that helps a ton.

You can make your own list, the crossed off stuff stays at the bottom for uncrossing off, but the killer feature for my wife and me is that the sync is instantaneous. Either of us can add things either to the online list or on either of our devices and the changes are reflected immediately on the other devices. It makes shopping trips a snap. This is perfect actually, thank you!

Is there an Android equivalent to http://appshopper.com/? I know about http://www.app-sales.net/ but it doesn't let me sort the apps or filter by category.

I'm looking for a camera app that will take photos on a keypress on my bluetooth headset (Or similar remote control) on my stock N4. Anything to that effect?

I just got a bluetooth keyboard for my Nexus 7 to turn it into a note taking machine, and cloudon doesn't seem to want to work with said keyboard. Any other decent note taking applications that I can use, preferably with the ability to switch them between devices easily? Edit: I am an idiot and completely forgot that Google Drive was a literally exactly what I need and I'm already using it. Ryen Deckard fucked around with this message at 00:05 on May 8, 2013 |

So is there anyone that uses an app to pull mail from an Outlook OWA server? There are several out there but I can't decide on which one I want to trust. Looking for any recommendations on any of them. I'm sick of using the webpage.

If your connection is good enough Play Music caches songs pretty far out plus all the album art. I'd be willing to bet Play Music is made badly enough that it's duplicating some of those things too.

Question about Play Music: it's recently come available in Australia, and I've started uploading my music library to it. However, now on my phone, it seems that shitloads of my songs on my phone are sort-of only available to play whilst online. I've set the app to WiFi-only, but can't figure out why. I can go shuffle all, or play an album or whatever and they'll play, but if I go to the current play list heaps of songs are greyed out and it tells me it can't be played without a connection, despite them still being in my phone's storage. Is there any way to stop this, because it is annoying as gently caress, and I don't want Play Music streaming songs and burning up my pitiful mobile data allowance when they are just sitting there on my phone. e: Actually, is it streaming from Play? Or does it just want to be online to compare against my cloud library? 2ndclasscitizen fucked around with this message at 13:58 on May 9, 2013 |

I've already manually copied my music on to my device via USB as I've had it for nearly a year and Play only became available recently. When I set it to On Device Only everything is pinned as it should be, but when it's on All Music, only a couple are pinned.

I'm neurotic about reading each item in Twitter or Facebook and enjoy having everything "read" similar to my RSS feeds. Does anyone know of an app that will allow you to easily "clear" the list of Twitter/Facebook items once read? As an aside, boy do I miss Slidescreen and wish that project hadn't been abandoned - it worked exactly how my brain works...

Yeah, Play Music will only play its files, and pinning them is a separate action from just transferring stuff over yourself.

Kind of like the Facebook Faces thing but for SMS only, and not tied to Facebook - i.e. infinitely better in my opinion. I may well give this a try.

I've been pinning and streaming for so long I forget. Pinned mp3s on play music are stored in a different location than music you've put on the SD Card yourself. I'm not sure if the Music player is smart enough to sort out which are which based on id3 tags. I wonder if you should see duplicates in that situation.

I've been pinning and streaming for so long I forget. There's not even a way to add files to local storage through Play Music other than via pinning—you can of course add files through MTP, and it will notice and play those files, but it doesn't seem to treat them in any special way. Pinned files, on the other hand, are stored in some special location with obfuscated file names, and can't be accessed by other media players under normal circumstances.* I'm in the same boat (it's been a long time since I've played anything from anywhere other than the cloud), but you must be right that it prioritises cloud files in case of a conflict, which is a pretty stupid decision. * there are apps that let you do this but I think they require root?

I have a sneaking suspicion that if your manually-added songs have slightly different tags, they'll appear as another copy of the album. Which isn't exactly a good solution or anything. I wouldn't mind the pinning aspect if it didn't take so long. Really the desktop Music Manager needs a way of converting the files and sideloading them to your phone, but I'm really not going to hold my breath on that one.

Which isn't exactly a good solution or anything. There's no reason it couldn't be iTunes for Android and manage the music in the cloud and device (and even on the PC if they were really confident), do ADB backups and restore the device, manage MTP file systems on Mac and Linux, and be a front end for managing your sync data within Google. Most of it wouldn't even need to be new except for a better way to see what's synced to Google Music and edit/manage that data locally, the rest would be just coupling the existing back end web services to a central app to view it all in one place. All the components are literally already made and packaged, they're just five separate downloads or webpages you have to know how to find.
