The 5 Best Music Apps For Your Android Device

By

Your Android device is a great mp3 player, and using some of the amazing apps out there, it can be much more than that. You can access Grooveshark, stream your own music collection from your computer anywhere over the Internet, tune into radio stations worldwide, identify and get lyrics to any song that is playing, and keep track of tour dates of your favorite bands. There is an app to make each of these things happen.

TinyShark

TinyShark is a Grooveshark app for Android. You can search for your favorite music, discover popular songs, queue tunes, and create playlists. This simple app puts the world of music at your fingertips wherever you can access the Internet.

AudioGalaxy

With AudioGalaxy you can stream music from your computer to your Android device over the Internet for free – and the good features don’t end there. You can create playlists both through the app and the web client. When your present playlist runs out of songs, the AudioGalaxy Genie can play matching songs.
Finally, you can scrobble your plays to Last.fm, provided your account is linked from your settings page on the AudioGalaxy homepage.

Before you can stream songs to your mobile, you need to set up AudioGalaxy Helper on your computer. Once your music collection has been indexed, you can stream it to your Android device via AudioGalaxy’s servers. If you need some visuals to guide you through the process, please refer to this article: Effortlessly Stream Your Entire Music Collection From A PC Or Mac.

TuneIn

TuneIn is your portal to thousands of online radio stations worldwide. I use it to listen to my favorite station back in Berlin to catch up on news from home every morning. Apart from music, you can also tune into local events, talk shows, and simply discover something new.

SoundHound

SoundHound is one of two major music recognition apps for Android. Personally, I prefer it over Shazam due to its functionality and features. Both do a great job at recognizing songs. SoundHound, however, has the nicer interface, provides song lyrics (if available), artist tour dates (if available), list of matching YouTube videos (access via browser) and similar artists. All of this information is provided inside the app, rather than having to open a browser.

GigBeat

Do you love concerts? Then you must put GigBeat onto your Android! The app scans the music on your device or syncs artists from Last.FM or Songkick to show you when your favorite artists are on tour. You can view tour dates based on artists, events, and location. You can also set to be notified of upcoming events or newly added tour dates.

How to turn off Ringbacks on Rogers

By
Rogers just update you to the latest iPhone value pack, or figure out some other way to stick you with their ringbacks service, and you’re desperate to find out how to turn it off? They don’t want to make it easy — they want you to pay money for more Ringbacks — but after over an hour of waiting on 3 different customer service and tech support reps, I got the answer. Here it is: From your Rogers iPhone, text 555 with the word OFF. You’ll get an autoreponder with a link to http://rogers.com/ringbacksoff Tap the link. You need to be on Rogers’ network (i.e. not Wi-Fi) to access this page! Scroll down to the bottom and turn OFF both Ringbacks and Voice Greetings. (Yes, Ringbacks are so annoying they require and additionally annoying Voice Greeting to beg the people who call you not to hang up while they’re annoyed by the Ringback.) Rogers tried to get me to give Ringbacks a chance, saying if I loved the Beatles and my friends new I loved the Beatles, I could entertain them w...

How to Reload Operating System on Nuked or Bricked BlackBerry

By
Good Afternoon Class! I’ve been a bit slack in my  BlackBerry 101  lectures as of late – I blame the  Smartphone Round Robin , all the  Contests  we’ve been running on the site and the busy Holiday Season. My apologies! This will be the last 101 lecture of the year… but we’ll be back in 2008 bigger and better than ever. Today’s lecture isn’t really a “newbie” topic, but it’s one that I wanted to cover because in the past three weeks I’ve gone through it half a dozen times and that is  Reloading the Operating System on a BlackBerry that’s totally “Nuked” . I’m not sure if nuked is the technically appropriate word for it (I also use one that starts with an F and ends in an ED and has a CK in the middle), but it is how I refer to a BlackBerry that is stuck in a permanent reboot cycle and is completely, completely unusable. With a Nuked Berry, essentially the device turns on (red LED comes on for a few seconds), then you see the white screen with the hou...

Best Ipad and Iphone Photography Apps

By
Longtime Exposure Calculator Price: Free/ Available for iPhone, iPod touch, iPad Long-exposure photography fanatics will know that an ND filter can be essential when it comes to extending exposure time for those all-important open shutter shots. Longtime Exposure Calculator by HPR-Solutions is a free iPhone,iPad and iPod touch app that enables you to dial in a projected shutter speed to one column and then 'add' an ND filter as graded in both f/stops and filter names (eg 3 stop or ND8) in the other column. The app then calculates the adjusted exposure. While it is, in part, possible to TTL meter with an ND filter attached to the front of a camera's lens, the results won't always be accurate, and there's a point where things get so dark that it's not possible - especially with in-vogue super-dense filters. Having an off-camera calculation method such as this makes it quick and easy to figure out exposures without so much as needing to put those brain...
