I'm an idiot when it comes to cloud storage. I have a bunch of music and I know it won't fit with the 16gb capacity on my DNA so I was wondering if there is a website or an app that will let me access all of my music from my computer on my phone?

I use BubbleUPnP to stream media from my pc. Works great with pix, music, and video. You need to install the server software on your pc to stream over mobile network.
Win7, media player 11 works great for me. I use MX player as a renderer on my phone. It has the best codec support.
There are several free cloud storage services but I don't know if you can stream to your phone from them

Google music lets you store like 20k songs for free. Also drop box gives you 25 gigs of storage although I think that might be only for verizon.
I use BubbleUPnP too. It is really good and easy to use.

How did you get 25 gigs for dropbox. I only have 3 1/2

When I opened drop box on my DNA I had to go through a tutorial and then I got the extra space. Not sure if its a Verizon thing or not.
I'm gonna look for the tutorial. I gained a little space (500mb) for auto upload but didn't see an opportunity for the rest. Will check it out

I don't know if this would be able to cover all of your needs, but you should check out Bitcasa. It's a new Cloud Storage service and I like it very much. You sign up and start off with 10gb free and you can upgrade to unlimited storage for $10 a month.
I use Bitcasa for my pictures and documents, but I use Spotify for music though... but I still hope this helps! :good:
Yeah I use Google music. Download the uploader from the Google music page and just start uploading your music then you can also redownload it later to all of your devices if you want to or stream it

Try Plex
Plex, app and desktop media server work well. I think the app is $5 but it works not only for music but you can access your movies, pictures, anything you upload to the app you can watch from pretty much anywhere. But for a free alternative, use google music.
I've been using Subsonic for a few years now. I have the Subsonic server installed on my desktop at home which allows me to stream all of my movies and music to my phone or computer. It was pretty easy to setup.

The dna does not have a dropbox promotion associated with it. You probably got it from a Rom which includes a promotion from a different device.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
No it has nothing to do with any roms. When I first installed dropbox on my DNA it had the 25gb bonus once I completed their tutorial. If you Google "HTC DNA dropbox" the first link from dropbox.com has all the details.

Yep, Dropbox 4.0/4+ bonus is not available for Verizon. Some people were able to get it from custom roms. I received a small bonus when i was on a custom rom with my thunderbolt so maybe that is why I cant get the second 4+ (25gig) bonus on my ViperDNA. You might be only able to receive the bonus (w/ custom rom) if you have not received any other sense bonuses in the past.
I My Google music uploaded on my pc stopped working and I get the couldn't connect to Google play. I have tried un installing reinstalling and disabling av as well as sent logs to Google and tried the access code and it still won't work. I have been working with Google for 2 months. So today I got an email and they have forwarded my case to a supervisor because the rep I initially got was horrible and they also credited me 10$ for inconvienece. Which is nice but it's still not working. I have had to transfer music to my laptop and upload which I use only for school so it's a pain in the butt has anyone had this issue and found a fix for it just curious because I don't think Google knows what to do.

Have you tried creating a second gmail/google account and using that for music? Your phone can have several google accounts setup. I have a google account with all my music synced to it; and all of my family put that account on their phone, in addition to their own personal google account. That way they have access to the same music, and we only sync the music from the computer to one account, instead of many accounts.
No my account is fine it's the upload program for the pc that doesn't work. It says it can't connect to the Google play servers so I can't even get into the sign in app...

I'll start with the usual apology. I searched the forums, and while there are many threads, I did not see a recent thread that discusses music syncing with iTunes. I have been using DoubleTwist but am tired of the bugs and lack of support. My ratings are always lost, and edits made within the application to songs, etc. do not sync to the android app. I'm looking for an app that will 2 way sync with iTunes that will also sync playlists and ratings. I know that people like WinAmp, but it is my understanding that it does not sync with iTunes, but rather with itself. What are people using out there these days?
Thanks!
Try isyncr I have a review of this app on my YouTube channel.

Have a look here if you want to.
It does wifi sync and normal sync via cable and works with all playlists
Winamp is great... syncs with itunes too
Another vote for iSyncr. I absolutely hate doubletwist. I use iSyncr Wifi with my Mac and it's been flawless. My playlists are automagically updated every night at midnight.

Yep using isyncr & isyncr wifi add-on and works well. You can even set it to upload your photos and videos every time that you sync, serving as a kind of backup or just to transfer them wirelessly as well.

Well, I went ahead and bought iSyncr and the WiFi add-on and it is great! Does everything it says and does it seamlessly! Much better than the buggy and unreliable Doubletwist which I wish I could get a refund for! Thanks for the suggestion!
Hi All,
As a reminder, I'm always working on iSyncr. Questions, comments, feature requests, bug reports and stories about your dog can all be emailed to info [at] jrtstudio [dot] com.

Is it a conspiracy to let users only use MotoCast 's Music app , not google's??
I can...but it takes a really long time for them to start....at first it wouldn't so I hit pause and backed out of the app...and about 10 seconds later the song magically started playing....weird....

Hey guys I cant even get my library of music to show up. Mine is just blank. Any ideas?
I had this problem on the bionic and was able to fix it using the following steps. I deleted the pre loaded music app using root explorer, but I would try it first leaving the app alone, who knows it may still work.
1) Go to manage apps
2) select the downloaded Google music app
3) wipe the data
That's it! Load up the app and it should prompt you to allow the app to link with your Google account.

I don't have a Razr but I have run into this a couple times. On mine, I'd click the song and it would just say something like failed to play the stream, or some such thing. Anyway, you are limited to 7 devices on Google Music. If you do a lot of flashing roms, each time you flash a new one, it's counted as one device.
If this is the case, you have to go to Google Music using a web browser on a PC and delete some of the devices listed there. To do this, click the gear icon at the top right of the page, then music settings. You'll find them there.
You sir deserve a genius award
Sent from my DROID RAZR using xda premium
LOL, I don't know about that. Talk to my friends and family and find out about all the stupid things I've done in my life and you might have second thoughts about that one. Anyway, from the sound of it, it sounds like you got the problem fixed. Glad to hear it.
If you ask me, it's kind of stupid on Google's part. The error message I mean. Don't know if it comes from the Android OS or directly from Google Music but it seems to me they could program it to tell you that you have too many devices attached to the account. The way it is now, you are just left in limbo. Oh well, all's well that ends well I guess.
Plays music depending on your mood.

I have been using Songza on my iPhone 4 in the US but now it's not available in Google Play in my region even though it's a free app. Can anyone share the apk or point me to a site that allows me to download it? Thanks.

Use google for searching the APK, just search for "songza apk", the first one to appear is the apk4 .us site, donwload it and try to use it. If it says that you are outside the US, assuming you are rooted, just download Orbot, a Tor's Client. I live in Argentina and like many others, can't use Songza or Pandora, but this little app do the trick. Search it on the Play Store.
Once you launch it for the first time it ask you for rooted permissions, then it ask you for the apps that will go trhough Orbot, click the "Select Apps.." button, wait for the list of apps installed on your phone and then check Songza, go back and when it shows you the Large button press for 2 seconds, it begins to connect to the Tor network, once it goes Green.....ALELLUYA!!!!!
Luanch again Songza and there you go listening for your favorites tunes!!!!
Remember to go through the Options in Orbot for uncheck the "Start with the system" option.
By the way, with that little bastard of Orbot, you can make any app "shows" you on the US, like I said before, I live in Argentina, and besides Songza and Pandora, I use Last.fm, Hulu, Rdio, and so on...
Good luck!
I am a user of Google Music All Access service (i wont explain how i got it to work outside the US) and the app automatically downloads songs i add to my libarary for offline usage.
The songs are in data/data/com.google.android.music
However despite the full size and valid extension they cannot be played in any other app then Google Play (not even when i transfer them to the PC)
ARE they encrypted? If so how to fix this?

There is no way to decrypt them at this time, but you can always plug in your phone to your PC with a 3,5 audio cable from headphone jack on phone to microphone jack on PC. Then record each song with like sound recorder or Audacity.
Bump on this - It has been almost a year, and the service is now rolling out in Canada and other. Somebody must have looked into this?

Obviously not. Because this enables piracy, and we all know XDA doesn't condone that.
I can't test it at the minute but I'm fairly certain that if you log into Google Play Music on a PC, there is an option to download the individual tracks as MP3's. I think it allows you to do it 2 or 3 times per track.
Why not just do that instead of worrying about decrypting music on your phone?

I'm so frustrated. I've looked in all the 'similar threads'; looked on other websites. Tried a solution that supposedly worked for the S2 and S4...but no luck.
I've purchased music from google play store, I've "pinned it" to my device, aka downloaded it...but it's not in my com.data\android.music\cache file. I can play the songs without any sort of network connection so i know they're on my device. I want to play them in other music players but can't find them. Seems i'm not the only one having this problem. Is there any solution yet?
