Is there any way one can stop it adding the audio from videos you've shot not being added to your library?

For Poweramp

You can control what folders your library scans, just make sure your video folder is not included.

Go to settings + folders and library + Music folders

Then just choose what folders you want in your library

So I've tried poweramp and Rocket player, and both have managed to annoy me already.
Poweramp is quite awkward to make your own playlists and for some reason starts playing music every time the phone starts.
Rocket player has crashed a few times on me, forcing me to restart my phone to stop the song, which is stuck in a loop.

I've used poweramp for 2 years now and find it excellent. At the start it really really really bugged me. You can go into the settings and change the settings. By default it starts playing music when you connect your headphones, you can turn that off. Once I got it setup the way I like it, I've found it to be the best.

Not a single issue. Had some with the EQ, but was with the free version. Once I got the Pro, everything works smoothly. Also, they have great support. Try to contact them. They were more than helpful.

If you're looking for the Irish stations, this app works well for me;

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ie.radioplayer.android

though it frequently takes more than one click to open up.

If you're a vodafone user you can get it for €5 a month http://www.vodafone.ie/red/extra/spotify?icmp=megadd-offers

If you're not a Vodafone user, just sign up for pay as you go and pay for Spotify out of the credit, you don't need to be an active user.

My brother is on Vodafone PAYG...he doesn't want Spotify but maybe I could piggyback on his account. The thing is how does Spotify link with your Vodafone account? I don't get how you go about getting it for a fiver?

im meteor. i wasnt aware you can pay with credit. i might do that after the 3 months if im still getting daily use from it. i often have left over credit when i want to get a e20 top up plan.

Its has to be vodafone credit, its a vodafone deal!

11-12-2015 05:14PM

So when you pay for the Red Extra plan with your Vodafone credit do you get a special link to sign up to Spotify for a fiver a month?

Doesn't work if you've already had a premium account, well I think so as it didn't work for me

I haven't actually signed up yet as I only found out about it recently so I don't know unfortunately

Seems you have to text to get a link in which you signup for premium on.

If anyone does do this please let me know how it goes as i may buy a Vodafone sim solely for Spotify premium . I could stretch to €5pm!

I Installed it 2 weeks ago, on an old android tablet .
Black and White browser ,
it saves battery ,as it just shows websites in black or white ,no colour images .
i prefer to read slate .com ,long articles, in black and white , easier on the eye, some ads dont show up in black and white .
I tried last night ,i cant find it on google play.
Rocket music player , the only player i can find with a sleep timer , stop playingsong after 1 hour or exact time set by user.

Know of any way to get rid of the lockscreen showing the stream graphic? Doesn't disappear when you quit the app

You have to click on "exit" within the app.i think its on the top right

Mr E · 15-12-2015 02:53PM

If you press "Stop" on the lock screen it goes away too.

Very annoying though... it has been like that for as long as I've had Android L.

Zombienosh · 15-12-2015 02:56PM

Best apps of 2015 according to google play.

I only recently started using Nova Launcher and Swiftkey, anyone recommend anything else from that list?

duploelabs · 15-12-2015 02:58PM

Unfortunately, neither pressing the stop button nor exit on the top right work, only restarting the phone gets rid of it. Rather embarrassing having a picture of sean moncrieff as my lockscreen image, the missus wasn't impressed
