I use the Google Play Music app. It lets you subscribe to all your favorite podcasts. You can pause it on your phone/tablet and then continue listening to it from the same spot in a browser on your desktop via Google Play Music website or vice versa.
You can listen to podcasts on Google Play Music, which is probably pre-installed on your phone. You could also download an app like Podcast Addict.
I deliver pizza, so I have a lot of time in my car. There's a few radio shows I like, so I have them subscribed on Google Play Music (or iTunes), and I just listen to them in my car while doing deliveries. If you have long/constant commutes, or if you're in a place where you can use headphones, podcasts are a nice thing to have as idle chatter while doing work or something else.
With Google Play, they have a list of podcasts on the app, but most podcasts have a thing called RSS Feed, where you can subscribe to that and get the newest updates & episodes.
edit: I listen to Red Bar Radio and My Brother, My Brother, and Me. All three are on google play.
What do you call the service at music.google.com, also accessed by the com.google.android.music app? Is that "ad-free music"? That is the service I'm interested in. I'm happy to pay a little more per month for more, but that service is what I need at a minimum.
Because I read that the YouTube Music and the GPM libraries will be different. I've also uploaded a bunch of my own music and non-music audio to that service and I need to be able to access that.
By the way - this whole confusion is because someone linked me to a YouTube Premium 90-day trial, and when I clicked the link, it told me I already had YouTube Premium, and it offered me the option to upgrade to a family plan. The only subscription I have is GPM, and I had been considering upgrading to family anyway, so I just went ahead with it. I only realised they're separate services (although that still seems unclear and I'm still not sure) after I finalised the purchase and got the confirmation email that made no mention of GPM.
Le chromecast c'est cool. Si tu prends le temps de le faire, ce sera encore plus facile que Bluetooth :
- Envoyer toute la collection musicale de ta maman sur https://music.google.com (jusqu'à 50000 titres) (fais un essai avec 2 ou 3 artistes seulement d'abord)
- Utiliser l'appli qui va bien sur le téléphone : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.music
- Voilàààà, c'est fini.
Une bonne idée par contre, c'est de tester avec ta maman si l'interface de l'application est assez simple pour qu'elle puisse l'utiliser. Aussi, Chromecast est compatible avec Deezer et Spotify, si je dis pas de conneries...
Google Play Music lets you upload 50,000 tracks. What's wrong with that?
BubbleUPnP streams from your phone to Windows Media Player, and streams from just about anywhere.
I have the same bug on my crazy old device. (Neptune Pine, Android 4.1.2) After a few tracks from my shuffled thumbs up playlist, it will start playing the next song, despite the current track still not yet finished. Sometime, it will start skipping the track sporadically even that skipped song is not missing. But this issue didn't occurred on my current device. (Google Pixel 2 XL, Android 9.0.0) Both devices are using the same app version. (v8.17.7736-1.K)
Maybe it is caused by some weird stuffs being messed on the previous Android version. I'm not sure but update your app and Android version to the latest might resolve this issue.
I've had it installed and set up to scrobble everything except Spotify, but it doesn't work with Play Music player either.
Would you please double check and scrobble something, so that you're sure it works with Google Play Music player. If possible, playing something you've uploaded to your account.
No... I should probably clarify - are you paying the monthly fee for All Access?
You can see the icon in the 5th screenshot of the Play Store listing.
Yeah its is weird. I contacted Google's support about this a while back and was told that this feature is only available in 3 countries if my memory doesn't lie to me, they are USA, Canada and the UK.
Also the most irritating thing which caused me to contact them is the fact which is still true to this day, they are advertising this feature in the Play Store in the app's screenshots yet again it is a region based feature for only 3 countries.
You must be using an old version of Google Play Music. Read all the latest reviews on https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.music&hl=en.
And jeez, update your Google Play music, your probably using the version from 2014
Most of them remove 2 or 3 stars because they removed the genres, such as top songs.
One of the reviews: Before I could browse genres, look at popular albums in said genres, look at new releases in said genres, look at sub genres in said genres... Now I have radio stations... I don't want radio stations, I want to be able to browse content! I don't need to be told what to listen to! This update seriously makes me think my subscription.
Also, most colleges require that you indent the first line of a paragraph of an essay, so IT IS a demanded feature.
And I'm talking about this UI: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHbQ2ba6jx4 , they took a lot of features away

I'm using absolutely the very latest version of the app. I've got a Project Fi phone.

If this is what you're talking about, that wasn't at all clear by your original post. You can absolutely browse by genre still (which is what I said), but you can't do specifically what you're quoting here anymore. Please be clear in the future.
>Also, most colleges require that you indent the first line of a paragraph of an essay, so IT IS a demanded feature.
Press tab. College students aren't representative of most of the planet.
>And I'm talking about this UI: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHbQ2ba6jx4[2] , they took a lot of features away
I don't notice any features missing, but they are in different spots in different versions of the UI. What do you think is gone?
I respectfully and fully disagree.
EDIT: Just look at this awfulness
No idea why the linked article is no longer up. Below is the article
With the announcement of the new YouTube Music last week, Google’s official stance is that Play Music will stick around in parallel. In recent months, the service has only received minor updates that delivers bug fixes and other small features. The latest today makes setting Sleep Timers much easier.
Play Music features a buried Sleep Timer to pause a song or podcast pause after a certain duration. Heading into settings reveals the functionality that pops up a dialogue with a clock-style picker to set the time.
Having not received an update since August 2016, some users have found this to be an unintuitive and initially confusing interface as hours — rather than minutes — is the first time period entered. Given the feature’s name, the latter time scale is a better default for winding down audio.
Version 8.12 addresses some of those pain points by offering a new keyboard icon in the bottom-left corner that opens a UI where you can just type in the time. Not only is the interface much cleaner and straightforward, but the keyboard pops up as an optimized number pad for quick entry.
Sadly, the previous interface is still the default thus requiring an extra tap, but I find that I’m already quicker with this new design. Additionally, it would be useful if the keyboard automatically pops up.
Version 8.12 was first included with the Android P Developer Preview 2, but is now rolling out for all users through the Play Store.
Here are some photos:
Tracks cost ₹15 each
Or you can buy as album.
Afterwards you can download the MP3 (320Kbps)
from
- Google Play Music app Android/iOS (encrypted MP3@320Kbps file for offline listening on phone)
- Directly through Google Play music website through a browser (unencrypted MP3@320Kbps)
- Desktop Music Manager by Google (unencrypted MP3@320Kbps)
P.S
You get 50000 song storage space on Google Play music.
This does not take space from Google drive.
You can upload your own songs (*cough*pirated*cough* or legit) and stream them through the app).
Google Play Music for Desktop (unofficial)
Why Google Play Music? Well, for starters you get free space to upload your own music collection and you can also stream its online radio stations/create your own playlists and channels. It may have other perks with YouTube Red too. I am not sure about that.
Google Play Music is worth every penny.
QKSMS is an amazing texting app actually made by a UWaterloo student (/u/moezz), definitely try it out.
I personally use Reddit is Fun for reddit. It doesnt look as good as the rest of the reddit apps but in terms of UX it blows them all away.
Use Dolphin Browser instead of chrome. You'll thank me someday.
Other than that, just the basics (FB, FB messenger, snapchat, slack, etc)
I can't live without Aviate now, because of the app drawer + transparent theme.
I also paid for an amazing icon set, Click UI.
And thats about it.
Nope, play store. Some people can search it but are unable to get more detail.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.music
You can still access the page via this link.
You can upload your music to your google account here (desktop): https://play.google.com/music/listen?u=0#/home
expand the top left menu and you'll see the Upload option.
​
You can also use this: https://play.google.com/music/listen?u=0#/manager
​
Stuff should show up in your library in https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.music

I think Google Music is being replaced with YouTube Music, which doesn't allow uploads.
I listen to podcasts via Google Music or Spotify. I pay for both subscriptions, so I don't know if you can listen to podcasts on the free version of the service.
Pocket Casts was my old go-to app strictly for podcasts. Haven't used it in years, so I don't know it has evolved.
Podcasts I like to listen to:
- Planet Money. It's a finances/economics podcast from NPR. Not too biased.
- Freakonomics Radio. Another finances/economics podcast
Google play music or the Google podcasts app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.music
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.podcasts
I tried the following apps:
Gooogle Play Music https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.music
WearMedia https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=qubin.de.wearmedia
Wear Music https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mohammadag.wearmusic
WShuffle https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=live.a23333.wshuffle
WMusic https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=live.a23333.wmusic
and WMusic is the best for me till now because it got all functions I need, better user interface and perfect bluetooth wire control.
I mean, the app still exists so not sure how you mean it's not a thing anymore. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.music
Can you access it here?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.music
Google Play Music
You don't need a subscription. If you're simply uploading/syncing your library, then I think this is one of the easiest options.
Google Play Music Manager
This is Google's desktop application for syncing your files from your PC. It's fairly simple. Here's a FAQ.
MusicBee
I migrated from iTunes as a player/manager on my PC finally. After a bit of research, I chose MusicBee. I mainly use it as organization, but it's been fine as a player as well.
Google Play Music (via browser)
A perk to using the service is that you'll be able to access your synced library from any browser as well. (This has been useful for me mostly at work.)
Honestly, seeing that you've only ever had Blackberry devices and you're jumping to a pretty great Android device, there are going to be some things to learn as you jump to a "modern smartphone". One of those is that we try to stay away from cables. Plugging your phone into your PC to do anything is considered a huge hassle. Not that I'm above using a USB cable, but there are simply much much easier and better ways to get files to and from your phone.
If I put myself in your situation: I have music on my PC, and I want to listen to them on my phone. My solution is Google Play Music.
Quick guide:
- Download Google's "Play Music" song uploader, install it, and point it to the directory on your PC that contains all of your music.
- Let the uploader send all of your music files to the cloud. (takes about a few minutes per album)
- Open up the Play Music app on your phone.
- Find the songs that you want to store on your device and tap on the Pin icon. (more info here)
That's how I'd get songs on my device. Simpler than plugging in a cable? Not really. But there are benefits to setting all of this up, mainly this: all your music is available anywhere you have a connection to the internet. What does that mean?
- You can pin/sync songs to your phone anywhere you can access the internet. You can use wifi in your home, wifi at a friend's house, wifi at the coffee shop, or even your cellular connection (using your data plan obviously).
- You don't have to store any songs on your device if you have the right data plan. You can stream music on the go with a large enough data allotment or if you're a part of T-Mobile's Music Freedom service that doesn't count music streaming against your data plan.
- You can listen to your music on any PC with an internet connection. Just go to http://music.google.com and you have access to all your songs and playlists. This is great for parties or for listening at work. Saves you from using your phone to play music, which means you don't have to tether your phone to the stereo all night long and you can leave your phone charging on your desk without being used for tunes.
I know that this is from nine days ago but just in case anyone else finds this thread, regarding syncing music from iTunes, you can download some software called Google Music Manager which can automatically upload all of your music (from WMP, iTunes, or a custom folder) to Google Music (up to 50,000 songs!) for free :)
Go to the Google Music Web Player
Click the menu button in the top left-hand corner
Scroll down the side-menu and press 'Upload Music'
Click the 'Download Music Manager' button and install
Launch and choose 'Upload from iTunes' on the setup screen
Now your music will begin uploading and will be accessible from the Google Play Music App and via the Google Music website on any browser, on any device :)
Al principio sí, tenías que subir vos los mp3 pero después agregaron la suscripción paga que funciona prácticamente igual que Spotify. Ahora podés hacer streaming de todo el catálogo por 35 pesos por mes y además subir tu propia música.
En la PC no tiene app de escritorio, accedés a través del browser: https://play.google.com/music/
Así que no importa si estás en Windows o Mac, anda en cualquiera de los 2 siempre y cuando tengas conexión a internet.
Para el celular tenés apps:
Happy to help.
Buying an SD Card will allow you to store apps, music, photos and videos on external storage.
I'd note however that the SD Card support is a bit spotty. Some of the bigger apps support moving to the SD Card AFTER it's been installed on the internal storage, however not all apps support moving to the SD card. It's down to the developer of the app.
As for music, I used the Google Music app which gave me the option of using either internal or external storage. Most if not all music apps use an Android function called Media Scanning; this allows the phone to index all media files it finds on internal and external (SD Cards) storage and then present them to the music app to play locally.
If you haven't already, check out the Google Music app, it allows you to upload up to 50,000 songs free of charge and then stream them through the app.
Any more questions, don't hesitate to ask or shoot me over a PM any time :)
EDIT: Forgot this: I never experienced any issues with the Samsung Camera allowing me to save to external storage. Check out Google Photos app if you haven't already. It allows you to save an unlimited amount of photos to photos.google.com to privately share and view.
Postoji Google Play Music. Dobijes ga u paketu s YT Music, kako i pise u postu.
Play Music, if you prefer streaming.

For local content, I like Musicolet:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=in.krosbits.musicolet
You should be able to do this with Google Play Music
What's wrong with the Google app?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.music
Seems like other people are reporting the same issue on the Google Play Store for GPM
I tried the follwing apps:
Gooogle Play Music https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.music
WearMedia https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=qubin.de.wearmedia
Wear Music https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mohammadag.wearmusic
WShuffle https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=live.a23333.wshuffle
WMusic https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=live.a23333.wmusic
and WMusic is the best for me till now, because it got all functions I need, better user interface and perfect bluetooth wire control.
I just switched from an iPhone to the Pixel. This is from my experience:
- Android has Night Light, which will do what f.lux does
- Android is pretty secure now, by default it encourages you to encrypt your device. Just keep up with the updates which should be pretty easy.
- Apps you install add themselves to your homescreen automatically. You can remove them from there and they will be available in an 'All Apps' drawer. You can put them back from there.
- Google Play Music is the default music player. I like it.
- Getting away from iTunes to Google Play Music is easy, you can just install the Google Play Music Manager on your computer and it will upload your music to your Google account for free.
- Playback stops when headphones are removed.
- Sadly Apple has locked down find my friends, you will have to say goodbye to that feature or find an alternative. I don't miss it.
I will add that I switched because I do not like the direction that Apple is heading in. I'm glad that I switched and the experience has been very smooth.
Edit: I got the name of Night Light wrong.
> não havia numa app de raiz do android
O Google <em>Play Music</em> suporta podcasts também.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.music
it's that Google program
Just use the Music app, right? This whole thing is getting confusing.
Music
For this, I would suggest Google Play Music. Even though you mentioned not wanting to use Google apps, but this can be a standalone music playing app with gapless playback. You can move all of your music onto your S4's internal storage or a 16GB+ external SD card (for $10). Best of all, you can use Windows Explorer to manage all the files.
Scanner app
Since you're using Office Lens, get the accompying Android app
I would also like to echo PushBullet. It mirrors all of your notifications from your phone to your computer via a browser extension or the standalone desktop app for your respective desktop OS. This way, you'll be able to send texts through your main telephone number, have full SMS history, and not have to deal with a second phone number.
Like Google Play music?
Hi there! It looks like you're asking:
<em>What are the best Android music player apps?</em>
The most-recommended option is <strong>Google Play Music</strong>.
If you want more info, you can:
^(I am a bot! For safety, replies to this comment will be ignored. Direct messages will be checked by a human.)
That you can take your entire iTunes library, up to 20,000 songs, and upload it to Google. You can then use the Google Play Music app on android or iOS and stream it to any device. It also works so any future songs you add to itunes get instantly added to google play and any songs you buy or add to google play can be downloaded and added to itunes! Great way to manage your music!
I already linked the page url in the main post. That still works for now.
The only way you can get to the Play Music app now on the Play Store is by direct URL (no search results for app).
You're welcome
