i'm bummed that they are now charging for last.fm.. i use it pretty much every day. Pandora sucks...
So, does anyone know of any good alternatives? otherwise i may actually consider paying for the service....

have you tried slacker?
I'm playing with it now... its weird, different. Their top stations are awful but I created a new station that was playing my kind of music.
The thing I loved about lastfm was their vast selection of music. They even knew about this local garage band around me. I guess time will tell if slacker is good, but I'm open to more suggestions

My favorite music app over and above all else is now AudioGalaxy. Check it out. It streams all the music from your home computer without you having to sync.
i like GrooveShark. its not free, but at 3usd a month, its not going to bankrupt me. you can cancel it anytime too, and you get to use playlists from other people(check out reddit, grooveshark playlists). you can see these on your computer and your phone, and mark favorites from them.
i'd check out the free version on your PC first, everything it can do, so can the mobile client.

HOW DID I NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS?
setting up when I get home today... wow, this would be my savior. I keep having to add/delete cds off of my sd card, this sounds like a much better solution.

I used Titanium backup to remove the stock music player and now my lockscreen music controls on CM7 and my headset music buttons work for AudioGalaxy without firing up another player. That used to happen to me. Sometimes I'd have 2 players play at the same time. Since AG is really the only mp3 player I need I uninstalled the other ones.
Another alternative is Grooveshark.

While I personally love grooveshark and pay for it to use the android app, the fact that such payment is required makes this a less than likeable alternative for many who are seeking something free like lastfm used to be.

Anyone know of a player or app (other than ORB or Slingbox) that will stream audio from my home network? TIA

Well Orb really isn't that bad. I had a hacked version of the Android client. I can't post a link or attach it because of this sites Warez policy. Since I'm 12 stepping off windows I deleted the Orb client since I don't need it. I'm sure many people here know the big warez sites and will have no issue finding it.
A few weeks ago Buy.com had some Pogoplugs for $49.99. I picked one up, I'd rather have it and usb drive up 24/7 then a desktop/nettop. The Pogoplug client isn't bad for streaming your audio. I can navigate all 100GB of audio, sort by artist or album name. It' not bad. For video it kind of suxs.
I find VLC server and the Android client are a little clunky and a pain.
When I get some time I will be looking into FFmpeg server for video streaming/transcoding. I haven't found much on the linux side that I like for streaming. I look forward to other people's suggestions.

To throw another option out there, I use tversity and like it quite well.

No, you do not. The amounts on the websites are merely suggestions. You can donate any amount you wish (I know $2 worked for a few), and you get your license. Or, you can compile it from source, or, look at the source code itself for a workaround, if you really don't wish to donate :-/

If u stream music and don't mind the data usage, use food's music streamer from market. U can search and play pretty much any any song u can think of. Tuneun Radio is also good. Both these apps play with screen off/lock

What music application will allow me to stream music from my pc to my phone?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2
Not sure if it's what you're looking for but ES File Explorer can do that. Or are you looking for something more along the line of Google Music but on a local network? I don't do that with my phone so I can't honestly name a program for you. Like I said, ES can access the music and play it so you might give it a shot and see if it's what you're looking for.

I'm wondering if I can set up my own server without there software.
Which I've done. Just like an app to play it.
It is your own server you are hosting the files locally with the option of accessing them from a wan. None of your files are able to be viewed by their software

It's more of an android question. People are using doubletwist player from play store. Check it out from

If you download the Google Play Music manager it'll automatically upload all of the music from your computer. Its pretty legit.

DoubleTwist player can do this. Google it for product info.

I don't know, man.... I think the trade off is worth it.
The cool thing about Play Music is that you can pick and choose which music you want on the device and 'pin it' to your device. If you just choose to play the music, it'll cache all of it.
Either way, it's legit and I totally recommend it.

Double twist is pretty buggy. Why don't you wait until Sep 12 to make ur decision. I am not asking you to get the iPhone. Just wait to see what apples got under its sleeve before making ur decision.
Well, it works with HTC Sync!
It's pretty slow, but it works, it even creates the playlists
