Even though I gave up on trying to sync my music to the cloud, I’m still very much digging the Honeycomb music player. The differences between music players might not seem significant, and for the most part they’re not. For the most part they all accomplish the same functions, which are to select, play, pause, fast forward, and rewind your music. But some take care of that in more intuitive ways. I think that the Honeycomb player represents an upgrade over its predecessors in that manner.

That will be a boon for those with full SD cards and are frequently within signal range. If you’ve already rooted your device, you can do this right now. From xda developers we learn that the cloud sync is working now. You’ll need an Android 2.3.3 ROM — CyanogenMod 7 has nightly builds of it — and the Honeycomb music player. After that you should be able to get the thing up and running.
