WinAmp
Hope this helped
playerpro is probably the best music player i have ran into.
If you want to waste $5.08 on a music play then go ahead and buy PlayerPro. But if you want the same thing, that works just as well if not better, then get WinAmp.
Dont be a sucker and pay $5 for a stupid music player.
Songbird
it is free

No flac support, no eq, no folders, no tag editing....
DoubleTwist is great and has airsync(wifi). The lock screen takes over the whole screen and shows a large cover with good sized rev/play/fwd buttons at the bottom
Does PowerAmp play flac on the Atrix? I haven't been able to play any flac.
Winamp is terrible, for reasons already stated. I've never used Songbird so i cannot say anything about it. DoubleTwist was my primary a long time ago, but for some reason it could not read music files on the external sd so it had to go. It may have been because I had purchased it right when the phone came out so external sd support might not have been working yet. I do not know if they have updated it to work with it or not yet so you may want to ask someone around here if you plan on purchasing it.

Yes, PowerAmp does play FLACs on the Atrix. You can check it out for 14 days. I'm getting close to the end of my trial, and I have yet to find a decent alternative that supports FLAC. May end up shelling out some dough.
On topic, PowerAmp also has a lock screen widget.
I love how people are sooooo damn demanding when it comes to what music play to get. ITS A MUSIC PLAYER!!! not a new phone!

Well we buy nice phones for cool features and a lot of us buy nice apps for nice features too. Winamp isn't bad it's just playerpro is better, in my experience at least.

For many people it is probably the most used function of the phone as well.
MixZing also has a lockscreen widget.

Don't bother with anything else, nothing compares. Well worth the 5 bucks.

Hello folks,
I've been searching for a faster music player for my Wildfire android phone. Because the default with the sense skin is ****. It loads and scrolls very slow. But I didn't found anything usefull.
Someone knows a minimalistic/fast music player, just only the basic stuff, no equlaizer, visual things ect.
Thanks,
i used winamp for a period of time... it's free on the market
I'm using Music PlayerPro and very hapy with it.
It looks nice and smooth, has got a nice Widget and Lockscreen
-nevermind-
Music PlayerPro FTW.
i'm using Music PlayerPro too.. n work well
Tiny player

I see the topic has risen after 2 months, but for the sake of it - try Vanilla Music Player. It's really lightweight, has a cool widget and seems to drain less battery than any other player.
I use Poweramp which is the best player out there!
For me, it's Rockbox
It's not the prettiest by default and it definetely takes some getting used to, but it's by far the most functional player available.
I've been using it on my Cowon D2 and I'm glad they made a port for android
Rockbox supports pretty much ANY format there is (hell, it even plays NES-roms and tracker formats), supports ReplayGain and gapless playback, has a proper shuffle mode and countless options to tweak the sound to your liking (Crossfeed )
There are 2 prebuilt apks for our screen size here. The upper one is portrait. There's no switching between both modes atm

+1 for poweramp. First app I purchased, and I do not have any regrets.
I like PowerAMP, its almost only one with EQ ! I really love the preset Bass setting in EQ combined with Koss portapro headphones

Ill send u a tip in private msg.
For me it's between Winamp and Playerpro, Winamp is free but Playerpro is a little better IMHO. Both are good, if you don't mind spending the Benjamins then get Playerpro, you won't be sorry, otherwise get Winamp... Both are brilliant. Oh and you might wanna root your wildfire and run CM7... It's the way to go... But yeah if you're worried about warranties etc. then I guess you could stay on Eclaire... it's just like you're holding your phone back...
So what is your favorite app for music playing? and why? key word APP so no flashing or anything hard. Just like from the market. and I know this has been asked a few times but I would like to know what you use. Like what you like about it. Simplicity? Features? etc. thanks in advance.
ALSO, I'm sorry if this is in the wrong section. It is regarding apps but I wasn't sure if it should go in Q&A cause those questions seemed a lot more general.

Poweramp is the best..
eq makes a huge difference.
PlayerPro - tried some apps, but PlayerPro has all I was looking for: A nice interface, lockscreen controls, can play videos and runs very stable.
Player pro is the best! Ubermusic is nice too but very simple interface for me..
I use poweramp.
Ubermusic
I love the UI although some said it's a mock-up of wp's music player.
Google Music 4.0.1 currently. Although I search for another one.

Just tried this and it is pretty awesome.
Nice and loud.
I can honestly say after trying various headsets, IEMs with all the music apps available, the best match of music player, phone and headsets are all different. Since poweramp, Zplayer etc all make a slight difference to the sound quality, you should try all to find which is the music player with your favourite signature sound.
If you like to EQ, try equalizer or Volume + in the mixture as well
Lookwise, I personally like Zplayer.
ease of use, probably playerpro for most but poweramp for me cuz I really like the way it divides the folders.
Google music + beta, that's where I store my music. I mean after all placing 6000 mp3's on my sd card would just be crazy.

Music app
I use gtunes...its cool,its free,music is free...the downside is that not all mucic you search for using gtunes will be available.but for free music is great. There is a new version of it on the market called music downloader if my memory serves me right.the correct gtunes app is difficult to find now days.
My favorite is definitely Google Music 4.0
The new UI is leaps and bounds better than 3, despite not changing a whole lot... it just feels cleaner. And the addition of being able to stream and cache makes it the most feature filled imo. If you're an EQ guy (I typically want flat, because hey thats the way the producers intend for it to be heard) their is an inapp option that takes you to your EQ of choice from the market, and it feels very fluid, almost as if it were part of the app itself. Google has come a long way in the music department in the year I've had my phone.
I'm using Fede's Music App (wp7'ish)
PlayerPro looks like really cool!

Does anyone know of a music player that is better than the nook music player? The default one that comes with the Nook isn't that great in my opinion.
There are plenty in the android market. Take both winamp and poweramp for instance they can both play FLAC files just fine.
PowerAmp. Best music player hands down as far as sound quality.

PowerAmp is pretty sweet, and I love it on my phone. But ubermusic for some reason is way louder on my nook, both are great and well worth the money.
I'm curious what's available w/o rooting. I'm waiting until there's a more straight forward (read: easier) process, but it seems that a lot can be done w/o rooting.

Player Pro does this.
Agreed +1 on player pro (current player with sense skin)
Also use the folder option as well...so that option won me over entirely
I think there is like one more player that offers a folder option (trust me I went through them ALL) but cant think of it to save my life...might of been miui player??? idk?? dont hold me to it...
I think Mixing had folder option as well. I started using Player Pro a couple years ago and never looked back.
It's good but i prefer poweramp

It has a nice interface, but messing with the EQ too much causes it to hang. And if music is playing, you can't control it in any way, the only solution is to force close the app.
I usually just use Amazon MP3 to play music. The stock Blur player leaves a lot to be desired, and Google Music doesn't (seem to?) differentiate between cloud and local playback. With Amazon MP3 it's real easy. Plus, I buy music from them and I've ripped and uploaded my CDs to their cloud (and to Google's, it's nice to have options, heh). It isn't a great player, but it's reliable. And while I enjoy music, I don't play it on my phone often enough to need a fancy player.
But, thanks for the link, it was fun to try out.
What features would you like to see added/removed, and are you happy with it compared to the stock music app, or how do you feel it stacks up against another music app.
*This is a general topic, and I'm just curious to see the community's response.*
I don't use it. It doesn't have features I need.
Namely, ability to keep the screen from sleeping, and the ability to limit where it looks for music at.
i like gmusic. I dont use it daily (I use slacker daily) but gmusic works great when I do need it. Its far more reliable than when it first came out, so they're definitely making progress.
My only complaint is when I flash a new rom, it registers my phone as a new device so it adds it to gmusic (which is great) but google limits it to 8 devices. So occasionally I need to go into gmusic website and delete my old devices, which is all the same phone. Its not really a complaint for google but i wish there was a way for it to detect that its the same device/IMEI
I personally love google music I use it daily. I have a computer for school and don't want to cramp it up with music so I can stream everything. Also I use my phone in my truck for music and it is nice to have access to all my music when I need it.
Absolutely love it. I have my entire collection stored. My main problem lies when I'm doing file management and the media scanner starts while I'm playing music. Google Music stops streaming completely and I have to manually restart it. I turned caching off, so that the song being played is solely dependent on the connection, but it still does it. I suppose it stops to look for new songs that might have been added. I'd like it to at least resume playback when scanning stops.
The other thing is with optimization I guess. In my last billing cycle, I got throttled and streaming was impossible (as expected). However, Pandora was still able to stream entire songs, for long sessions without stutter (it just took longer between songs). I'm curious if it'd be possible for them to improve performance on slow networks, so that it's on par with Pandora.

General is something related directly to the phone or an app that comes stock with the phone. GoogleMusic does not fit that description since it has to be installed by the user and not everyone uses it. This should have been in Themes and Apps. Just sayin'.
I wish it would sync with a folder on my phone with all my music, so that when it tries to play a song, it checks that folder on my phone first before downloading the song with a weird name in another random folder. That way, whenever I add a song on my computer to the Google Music Folder, it adds to my phone as well when I try to play it, keeping my music in sync.

That'd be boss. Maybe in a future update?
I love google music.
Especially after switching from iTunes and my iPhone 4. I really hated iTunes haha
i like it on my zoom and Google TV. But I wish it would sync playlist too. A good playlist takes time and it wouldn't be nice to listen to them on phone, tablet and TV. The main thing that make be go back to the Samsung music player is that while connected to my Bluetooth stereo it shows track info on the stereo but the Google music doesn't. Not a big thing, but enough to keep me using the samsung player. If those two were fixed it would be a perfect player.

Not bad... Steaming better but still slower than other streaming apps.
My biggest complaint is music purchased can only be played in gmusic and can't be downloaded to phone or computer. Frustrating when I paid for something. if they keep prices at $4.99 album $.49 song I might get over it... Doubtful that will last.
Saw app in market that claims to make music portable though.

Just click on the song you purchased and click download. It will let you download it at 320k and no drm. Also the google music manager has an option to auto download any purchased songs to your pc automatically.

I would really like to be able to download my music that was uploaded to google music. I had everything in itunes also, and one day after it was all uploaded itunes moved everything without me knowing it and that file got deleted on accident. Of course i didn't care at the time because nothing should have been there. Thanks itunes.
