iTag - Label and edit music artists, songs, album covers, etc...
Pandora - Stream music
Tasks - Little digital post it notes you can write on and check off items
Zillow - Real estate in your area.Houses for sale, apartments for rent, etc...

How about the new app Filelinx? Transfers any file of any size from Android to your PC, wirelessly no matter the distance.

Now that AudioGalaxy does Last.fm scrobbling, it's a must have for me. I can stream all 170GB of my music to my Evo (not all at once ) and it still sounds good and shows large album art. Prettymuch everything I want. I wish it had the EQ of PowerAmp, but it still sounds as good as non-streaming music apps other than PowerAmp. Get it!

Stop being such a link whore, alex.

Back on topic, my latest must-have is Subsonic, which is like AudioGalaxy only way, way better. It pre-caches songs for fewer, if any skips, loads my library a lot faster and is much more stable. For example, I tried to make the same playlist of about 3,500 songs in both AudioGalaxy and Subsonic. AudioGalaxy choked and lost my entire list three times, while Subsonic hasn't had a problem with it.

I wanted to use Subsonic, as it's a well put together system, but I couldn't get it to work over 3G. Some issue with my router maybe?

Audiogalaxy works really well for me. I had it stutter for the first time today, but it wasn't that bad.

Does SubSonic do last.fm scrobbling?

 

[Brian Rubin]

Yeah, I had to do a little tweaking to open port 80 on my PC for Subsonic to work, but it's sooo been worth it.

And yes, it has Last.fm support - Subsonic

 

[JunBringer]

Hate to bug you, but how did you open that port? I'd like to give it another try.

I know I'm new to the droid family but I have been using chompSMS since day one and love it...

No bother. I went to this site:

PortForward.com - Port Forwarding Guides Listed by Manufacturer and Model

And used the instructions specific to my router to open port 80 for Subsonic. Wasn't hard at all, actually. You can then use this site:

Open Port Check Tool

To verify that port 80 is open. Good luck!

My hero! Thanks dude!

Sure, glad to help.

Is Subsonic or AudioGalaxy using the full quality of the music file? I know AG has the option for high quality, and it sounds pretty good, but I'm curious.

Anyone know if there is an app that allows you to move almost any other app to the SD card?

I already use app2sd but I could swear I read somewhere about an app that can move more stuff than the apps2sd app can do. I cant remember where I read about it.

If you find one that can, you probably don't want to use it. Most of the apps that cannot be moved are going to be apps that lose some form of functionality if they were moved.

Just a note, it's been my experience that if you go into the market right after you do a reset all of your apps are still listed for a short time. I always just fire up the wifi and hit the market right away and get it all back.

My experience has been that only the apps i purchased show up.

Pretty cool music app:

MP3 Music Box - Android app on AppBrain

I like and use a lot of the ones already mentioned but I wanted to add a really good one...Ad Free.

Anyone have a link to AppBrain? There are so many names that came back I couldn't find it - but it sounds interesting!

Sorry, I was looking for the link to "Ad Free". When I searched on those terms, it came back with a large number of entries, but nothing I could identify for certain as the application the previous poster was refering to....

Note: It is a "root only" app. Are you rooted?

Actually, no - at least not yet. I'll add it to my "rooted" application list in AppBrain. I haven't done much research yet for rooting my Evo, but I'm thinking I'd like to do that - if for no other reason than to provide wifi access for my laptop when away from home.

(referring to available apps after reset, and how to get them back)

Here're some backup/restore strategies for surviving those pesky resets - http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-support-troubleshooting/141369-how-fix-froyo.html

Does this actually work?
