Just got a nexus 7 and as soon as I set up the wallet on there I get £15 for apps, as a movie and music geek, I just wondered what are the best music and movie apps I can purchase

If you've got regular access to wifi, or a generous 3g data plan, get Tunein Radio. The basic (free) version gives you thousands of radio stations around the world, allowing you to search music by genre. However, the paid-for version lets you record the song/show in mp3 format, and will even do timer recordings.

I'd pay the quid or whatever it is for full version of Tune in. You can record radio shows so can use offline (no wi-fi areas) later which is great.

I mainly use Spotify which is free but service is tenner a month, for me it's worth it. Online\offline linked to\car stereo\ home hifi superb.

I don't think there are movie apps as such but you can buy subscription to netflix, love film, amazon (and soon google) which all support android I believe.

For playing films of any format, then MX player is really good. There's a free version as well as a paid app. The only advantage of the paid app is no adverts, but they are pretty minimal anyway.

Another app I use in conjunction with MX player and my Synology NAS, is MediaHouse UPnP / DLNA Browser. This lets me stream over my wi-fi all the films and box sets I have stored on my NAS. If I have a good 3g or better signal I have streamed it over the net as well, although that was just as a test due to my data plan.
