ok fine, which is the best place to get mp3s from
no music on play store entertainment section, books and movies are there. play music just plays music. amazon mp3 not available. so what is the way.

torrent or blogs

 

[Jaskanwar Singh]

Wynk is best to listen to music online. It also stores music for listening offline, but it doesn't save it in mp3 form. For mp3, I think you can buy the song, but would you really buy a song at Rs 10 and Rs 15 per 1 song?

Ripping from YT is best way. Or there are ahem sites available. Mostly shady tho.

many songs for rs5 too.

 

[Anorion]

yeah Im willing to buy the song. Just, where. Need mp3 or wav for ringtone.
oh ok will try wynk
Uh looks like wynk just lets you sync and download purchased songs across devices, and play them from devices irrespective of subscription, but cannot use songs as ringtone

Saavn allowed mp3 downloads when I checked last time. Also check out gaana.

You need to identify the music label for the song in question. Say Saregama or T-Series. Then go to their website. You can buy the song from there.

 

[Anorion]

no easy way to buy it from the device itself?
both gaana and saavn download the tracks only within their own apps
Saregama after confirmation of purchase, there is continue option then unformatted text on a blank screen saying "something went wrong"
Tips is not letting me sign up, or login with google, those buttons are doing nothing. Using chrome on k3 note.

there is no app, is there?

u can use any song as ringtone. maybe in your case you need to put the song in ringtone folder of your device.

 

[Anorion]

I don't think so. The ringtone option is picking up the beeps and pops and alerts from assorted apps.
these apps, wynk, gaana and saavn let you download the tracks, but limit access to the tracks from within their own apps

i have used only wynk, so i can tell you about that. if u get airtel subscription, then the songs are limited to app. but if you buy the songs, then you can copy it anywhere you like and play without app.
i personally used a bought song for setting up ringtone.

 

[Anorion]

woo that worked. Thanks. Had to use file explorer to get to the mp3, but wynk is cool.
now Im wondering if using the file explorer to retrieve the mp3 works with gaana also.

The FAQ of wynk needs some working. They have overlooked mentioning the format of the download, that it is mp3. Also, instead of saying that the songs can be used on the device, it says:

You can play the downloaded songs from within the app only.

Is there any custom WhatsApp available which will let you use it without the mobile number activation process? My phone is in servicing and I don't know how to contact the WhatsApp contacts (don't have another Android as backup obviously).

And that's why we use Telegram.
No way to use WhatsApp without Android. You can use it on *another* android tho, even if it's Tablet, by receiving the OTP on any normal mobile. But that's about it.

There is no "Custom WhatsApp". Don't believe if anyone says otherwise.

By custom I meant those modded ones, FM etc.

I prefer Telegram 100 out of 100 times over crappy WhatsApp, but I can't literate my clients to use it, you can't educate other people. Anyway, thanks for your reply.

 

[Vyom]

Ok, so you meant WhatsApp client for another platforms, like Symbian. Its supported on Symbian devices, but don't think it will support FM wala old Nokia phones.

hey guys isn't this seriously uncool and totally against net neutrality?
Airtel
the cheapest way to get wynk is with Airtel

Android: Unlimited downloads at Rs. 99/month. Special airtel price: Rs. 29

airtel is so fail, they have hidden FUP even in the streaming service.

ps is there anything apart from hungama, gaana, saavn, apple music, guvera and wynk

 

[Vyom]

I don't expect Net Neutrality with Airtel.

I mainly use Wynk, and just because they give free one month subscription with the 3G recharge I do of 1 GB.
With their exorbitant pricing, that's the little they can do.

That might be against net neutrality but since Wynk is Airtel's own service so it's kind of basic business policy to give discounts to own customers.

I am posting this here to bring this issue to the notice of any Micromax Android users in this thread. Micromax is installing unwanted applications in our phones without user consent. They are also constantly bombarding advertisements and probably selling user data behind our backs.

I had posted a thread here *www.digit.in/forum/mobiles-tablets...tallation-happening-rooted-android-phone.html

The actual solution and explanation is from this XDA thread Micromax Remotely Installing Unwanted Apps on Devices

We do not know if this is only Micromax or are any other Indian brands doing this too.

 

[Anorion]

well, it is much worse than what fb is doing with free basics
