I bumped into a free iphone application called unlimtones.
This app lets u search for any artist or song u like and lists alot of songs with different remixes from its database
It provides preview, so u can listen to it and download it directly to the ringtone list if u wish to have it.
A really awesome app, i wonder if there's a similar app for our beloved HD2 or for windows mobile 6.5 in general which handles ringtones??
If it's actually out there where can we download it?
Midomi.
Free on Omarket.
i already have midomi, it recognizes the songs played but doesn't manually search for songs nor does it download the songs
Found a close one
I found this app, called Scilor's groovemobile v13
It only retrieves songs to listen to and be added to playlists for later playing, but doesn't save it as mp3s to be used for ringtones like the app i'm talking about in this thread.

Found a downloader!!
I found a downloader for songs!! Scilor's groovedownloaderwm
http://www.scilor.com/groovedownloaderwm.html

NanoGroove
NanoGroove (its not free, but cheap , you can search for Artist, songs, ...
and it download the songs on your mobile
I definitely recommend Scilor's Groove Downloader WM! It can fast download any song in realy good quality and doing this very fast.
Look for it here on XDA in GrooveDownloaderWM thread. In one from last posts i posted CABbed version.
Try it's very good app!
Go to www.myxer.com. You can download ringtones for money of for free, but best of all, you can upload any song you have in your computer and trim any portion of it to create a ringtone. Your new ringtone can be sent directly to your phone or you can download it on your PC and then upload it on your phone. Enjoy!

Topic. Say I downloaded a song from an app on my phone. I now want to upload it to Google Music without using an USB wire. How would one do that? I tried autosync and it didn't show up on Google Music on my work computer. I suppose I can wait until I can get home to load it to my home computer, but I'm curious/throwing out there if it's possible.

afaik the only way to upload Music to your cloud is with your computer and not your phone/tablet, but I would love to be wrong. I've wished I could do the same thing with my Amazon (Cloud) MP3.
Same here we really need that ! That would make it perfect.

Dropbox would work, but you still have to have a computer
Step 1 install Dropbox on phone and computer
Step 2 install google music app on computer
Step 3 make a music folder in your drop box
Step 4 set google music to upload from the music folder in your Dropbox
Step 5 upload from phone to music folder on Dropbox
Alot of extra work but I use the same process to torrent when I'm away from home.

Hey there all, I've been working with Android relatively well for the last six or so months and have been utterly shocked by the complete lack of mediaplayer software that will play streaming radio. I have two .m3u files and one .pls that I've tried in the stock player, Meridian, Astro mp, WinAmp Mobile, StreamFurious pro, and RadioHeart, but none of them will play it. Has anyone seen a media player or even a standalone program for Android that will play streaming radio files?
Thanks.

XiiaLive Lite?
MortPlayer Music on the play store says it reads m3u files. So I'd give that a try.

I can't believe it - nobody has got streaming radio to work on android?

VLC Beta (April 23rd Build), but I can't get it to work with playlists yet so you have to resort to copying and pasting the stream source URL from within the playlist file. The format support is good pretty much any stream URL that works in desktop VLC will work mobile. Once they add playlist support and some other features from the desktop edition we may finally have a suitable Android replacement for TCPMP. I'm keeping my hopes up as this is an early unofficial build, and I've used VLC for years on my desktop. Its a very good media player and VLC will be doing an official Android version someday as they have a link placeholder on their website.
Its hard to believe that TCPMP was abandoned 5+ years ago yet it still beats anything offered on Android as of now. Sure there are programs out there like TuneIn and iHeartRadio that play radio stations, but if you want something that takes a custom stream or streaming playlists your options are limited. Looking forward to VLC official builds they may be the answer.

Good call; I gave that a shot and found that I couldn't play the playlist files themselves, but opening them in a text editor and grabbing the URL did the trick for all but one of my radio stations, an ASX playlist (which I actually haven't used in a while, so this doesn't necissarily mean that ASX is out of the question as the stream could've changed).
I did find that to switch between streams would cause an FC, but it would be fine once it started up again. Hopefully they get this working even better, but until then, I still have to ask, is this the only thing on Android right now that can play streaming radio?

Well like I said VLC is in an early beta, I believe its actually an unofficial build compiled from the source. The desktop VLC has great playlist support, xspf, m3u, asx, etc all work and I imagine playlist support will be added.
What I did as a temporary solution was to make a HTML file of my streams as links. Then I copied the file to my phone and bookmarked it in Dolphin HD. So now I can browse to the page, tap and hold a link, select copy URL and paste into VLC.
I've also been getting FCs if you open another stream. The issue seems to be that it tries to add the additional stream to a playlist much like desktop VLC, but since playlists aren't working yet something is going haywire and FCs it. We'll just have to wait for more updates and hopefully an official build from VideoLAN even if its still a beta. The finished project should be able to open playlists and change between streams without issues.
Winamp Pro can also do streaming, but is limited to MP3 and AAC streams (I can't get WMA working), under the shoutcast section you can add custom streams and save them as favorites. Its not free, and VLC will probably have better streaming support when its done.
I use the standard "boxed" streamers like Tunein, Slacker, Jango and Sky.fm so the platform will work with radio. Besides what has already been said there are apps out there that say they will do it : M3U Player, KamMa's folder player, ServeStream. Another question is, have you checked the files on a none Android platform?

At least we're somewhere, even if the process is tedious. It's amazing to me how there is absolutely NO software in however many years we've had Android (the only smart platform left on the market) that there is no better way to stream radio; hopefully the newer releases of VLC will finally implement this. Gave WinAmp a try too, and no dice with that either. Hopefully somebody will get this figured out.
I mean, if the Epic users are banned from the privilege of listening to FM radio, you'd think we could at least stream something. Guess the whole radio thing wasn't meant to be (short of pasting the URLs into VLC Alpha) - maybe Samsung wins this one.

Gave "M3U Player", "Kamama's", and "ServeStream" a try this afternoon, and they don't seem to be able to play any streaming radio, M3U or otherwise from my playlist files (one of them might have had the tedious "pasted URL" option that VLC mobile had, but nothing we haven't covered so far).

Jogjastreamers
I use Jogjastreamers, it's a standalone radio streamers with limited channel - only radio Channel in Jogjakarta (Indonesia) and surrounding cities as the name suggests.
maybe not the one you are looking for, but it's a radio streamer app and it works

I'm just looking for a simple program that will let me click on one of the radio stations that I've got saved and play it. Just that simple. I can't believe Android has been going this long and still doesn't have anything like this.

what about "A Online Radio?"
never use it, but it says it plays: MP3/M3U/PLS/AAC/AACP channels, shoutcast/icecast.

VLC, but we are going to have to be patient. Hopefully it will have playlist support soon it already plays all my streams fine if I copy the raw stream URL into it. On my desktop I've made playlists of all my favorite radio streams that I play in VLC. Its a lot easier than opening my browser and opening some bloated player. On Android I have some streams in Tunein, some in iHeartRadio and some streams that don't have an Android app at all.
When I first made the switch to Android I was also surprised there was nothing out there that compared to TCPMP. Even WMP which was pretty basic on Windows Mobile opened playlists. VLC has the potential as long as they don't strip too many features but porting open source always takes time and I appreciate the efforts of the developers.

I keep checking the VLC website to see if they will have any info on any official builds, but nothing has appeared yet:

There are also the unofficial builds here that are being updated every few weeks or so.

You're not alone, guy! i'm searching a simple radio streaming app, too. An app where you just write the name and url of the radio that you want to listen. An app with only a play/pause button without advertising and 10000 radio pre-installed. An app like radiotray on linux.

In that case, you're in the right "waiting room". Right now, the closest thing we have to a solution is using one of the prerelease "XDABrewed" (I just made that one up) versions of VLC. Instead of simply opening a playlist file with the app though, you've gotta first open the playlist file with a text editor, copy the stream URL out, then paste it into VLC and it'll play. Also, if you decide to listen to a different stream, you have to fully exit VLC and start it again. This might seem like a lot of effort, but it is an early "alpha" sector build and there hasn't even been an official release of any kind yet.
If you find anything better, be sure to let us know!
Thanks for visiting.

Hey guys,
just wondered, if theres any option to download the music out of google play music all access I put in a playlist. I mean wouldn't it be nice to hear it with some other player, so if connection struggles the music doesnt stop playing.
Yes offlinemode in mobile version is available, but can I extract them out of it, to do the same at my PC.
The App Cloudmusicimporter promises this much. But as I tried it, not one of my all access titles in the Playlists is shown and possible to download, just the ones I upped myself..
