So I finally bought a cell/mobile phone...

[Saccopoo]

Yeah, this is my first phone.

Ever.

HTC One M8.

Seems to be nice.

I turned it on after a week in the box and, lo and behold, it worked.

So, now what do I do with it?

What apps do I need?

What is Twitter?

And most importantly, what is the best music player for the Android system? Most of my music is in iTunes due to the previous use of their iPod. Is there a way to get that over into the phone and in a decent music player on my phone?

No it won't. The iCloud is secure just use iTunes. I mean, iTunes is the most annoying thing Apple has ever made but it's kind of inevitable. Any music player will access your iTunes without compromising the actual data.


Also for god's sake stay far far away from Twitter. The only useful thing for Twitter is news getting tweeted from people in the know and they immediately get posted to boards like this. Start with some games and do a google search for "useful apps" there will be a million threads on a million useful apps.

Yes, it's will cause a catastrophic rip in space-time.

And isn't there a downgrade to sound quality if it's being transferred from a CD to MP3 than upload to a "cloud" then downloaded from there to my phone?

I really bought this because my iPod took a crap and figured that I might as well get all the rest of the shit as well as a music player in the process.

No, the files are cached and/or buffered locally on your phone. The data is digital, so the same 1s and 0s are getting played either way. Try it out and if you hate it, don't use it. Easy enough. (The files will still be sitting in your itunes it just makes a copy to upload to the cloud)

Does that sound like a logical setup to you?

And don't worry about the blinking clock. That's normal.

According to contemporary comedians it is easier to find a unified theory than to program it to record. What in tarnation is this sorcery??

I currently do not own a television. However, I do have a DVD player that I bought in 1999 sitting somewhere in a box in my basement.

I did put the Pandora app on the phone and it's pretty cool.

I went with T-Mobile as my carrier as music streaming doesn't count against my 4GLTE data cache and they've teamed with Rhapsody to offer full service music streaming (no ads) for $4 a month (most of the other services are approximately $10 a month).

I think I'm going to go with Neutron as my music player. Seems like it's received a lot of accolades as it relates to overall sound quality.

Will my iTunes library transfer over to my Android phone or will I have to get an app to make that transfer?

I had no idea Sac was Amish.

[L.A. Chieffan]

I like Google play but if you want access to your entire library then yes you need a data connection.

This explains your horrific takes on college football players. Enjoy!

Sac's trolling has become increasingly bizarre.
