Hi there.
Can a kind soul please tell me whether the Hero will be compatible with iPlayer and if I will be able to sync my (non-DRM) iTunes music across to the phone?
Also, how often does the Facebook widget update - is it pretty much 'real time'?
Thank you, in advance.
i am using the hero port for the g1 and bbc iplayer works with the beepPlayer app off the android market, there is no facebook widget afaik, and you should be able to sync the music fine by just copying it to the phones SD card
Yes, the beebplayer works fine on the release devices.
And the facebook and flickr updates in the people app are every 2,4,8,12 or 24 hours, depending on what you set it to (2 hours is the default)
As for the Music, raider is correct, you just drag and drop to the memory card and you're done.
I think that the original poster might be moreso hoping to have the organization of the itunes app transfer over with some order to the phone.
From what I understand, it works right now, but Steve Jobs has mentioned that it may not always be so, as I am guessing this was kind of an unexpected (unauthorized as well?) compatibility.
Caid.

iTunes doesn't work with any Android device. It works with Apple products & the Palm Pre & thats becaues Palm faked it as an iPod most likely with iPod device/vendor IDs.
I didn't really want it to work with the Hero, as such, but...
...simply to be able to easily listen to my AAC (non DRM) songs on the device. Should this be possible?

Just use Windows Media Player.
Hi all,
I am trying to make an app for my friends online radio station (he already has a basic iPhone App and i don't want Android to be ignored again) but the audio is pushed out of the shoutcast server as a playlist - which Android's media api doesn't seem to support.
despite that i have generic online radio player apps on my android phone that plays his station happily!
does anybody know what trick i need to pull to get Android to play playlist streams?
any help and advice would be greatly appeciated
Can anyone help me here please?
I have searched all ,over and found many threads on this but non seem to answer my problem.
I may be fairly unique but I quite like the Sense music player. I have been working with it for a while now and almost have it doing my bidding.
I can get sections of my library onto my phone and playing in the sense player well now including album art and everything looks good.
The only thing I can't seem to do is import playlists from my PC into the sense player.
It's pretty frustrating having to re do my playlists from scratch in the sense player every time I shuffle my music.
I can't seem to find out where or what the sense player is looking for in a playlist. I have tried various formats and put them in different folders but can't get the sence player to see them.
I'm using MusicBee to sync my music as it's the only one I have found that syncs everything perfectly, including album art. I'm sure it will sync my playlists as well if only I can find out what format to use and where to put them.
Any ideas anyone??
OK I've given up. I'm now using Kinoma Play http://kinoma.com/play/ instead of the sense player. Works like a dream so far. All my music syncs and with a little tweaking in MusicBee my playlists go into Kinoma fine.
Still prefer the Sense player to be honest but it just won't do what I want.
There is a free version of Kinima but it's pretty limited, I had to upgrade to paid version to get access to playlists.
If you download the free version and run it you get a link to buy the paid one at a discount.
Why is the sense player so finiky :-(
I use the pre installed 'music' app and see no reason to change, but before I set up all my playlists and music files I just wondered what app you use and why?
What works best for syncing, etc - windows media player or itunes?
Currently I have both wmp and itunes on my pc and I am wondering whether to just have one rather than both. Annoyingly my wife has an iphone and uses itunes but I prefer wmp.
I am running miui defx and when I sync my music using doubletwist i realized my other players don't recognize the playlists and before when I was running stock or cyanogenmod I thought they did. The reason im asking this because for some reason when i turn on my equalizer by smart android apps it crashes constantly and doesn't with other music players. Does anyone know how to get my other music players to recognize my music playlist?
