Flayers stock music player didn't recognize flac files, and I decided to go for MortPlayer I am using on my Galaxy S. Unfortunately, while Mort did play other music files, it didn't play same flac files it does on Galaxy S. I am even suspecting some system problem with flac playback, but don't have any evidence to support this claim.
As I really love MortPlayer for three major things: flac playback, folder playback and it's free, can anybody recommend working flac player for HTC Flayer, with folder playback if possible?
I found app, name is Player . It is not as polished as Mortplayer, but it does play flac files, and can play everything from specified folder. If somebody a have better suggestion, please share.
PowerAMP hands down is the best music player
AndLess
I use AndLess, simple, and works great! I haven't really tried others so no comments on those.
PowerAmp has some unusuall high cpu usage spikes, it's a bit to shiny for me, and isn't free.
AndLess worked great on my Galaxy S, I like its simple and effective interface. Will try it on Flayer, thx for the tip

wich is the best program and why ?
should i keep my original windows-media player wich wont play mp3 or is there a better one out there .....???
The original Media Player DOES play MP3 files. However, I prefer WMA format at 64k, which doubles my storage space with very little loss in quality (as far as what you can hear from the PPC even with good headphones). Unfortunately, the two excellent aftermarket players do not support WMA. So, if you want to play MP3 files, I recommend withMP3 (expensive, more mature) or PocketMusic (free, good but not perfect, early version release). The URL for the latter is www.pocketmind.com; I don't recall the URL for the other one.
With the windows media player keep the bit rate below 160k and the MP3's will play without issue, or got to Tools setttings, Audio & Video and allow the device to play unsupported files.

Hi!
My Choice is the PocketMVP Player.
He plays DIVX and all other formats.
And the Price is ZERO!!!

Well, the site is down so I can't go try it out. Does it actually play WMA format?

I see no evidence that it plays "all other formats." In fact, considering the author's anti-MS rant, I see reason to believe it will NOT play WMA.
What audio formats does the Streak play?
I never had so much trouble looking up the answer to such a simple question.
So experimentation shows that it doesn't play lossless wma files.
Is there a lossless format that will play on it?
get PowerAMP it plays plenty of file types:
mp3, mp4/m4a (including alac), ogg, wma*, flac, wav, ape, wv, tta (* some wma pro files may require NEON support)
I love it, it's automated, so when I plug in my headphones (even BT ones) it resumes play.
the basic player is just that, basic.
I'd link it, but I'm new, look it up on appbrain.

Good question. I can only speak for FLAC support as I don't use anything else.
The only Android media player that I know of that recognises FLAC is PowerAMP
http://powerampapp.com/
I second @bugmenotacc's endorsement.
I tried PowerAmp and it didn't play the album I ripped to flac.
I read the help section this morning (amazing what you can learn when you do that) and found out about selecting folders instead of the android library and lo and behold flac files play. Looks like I'll probably end up buying PowerAmp.
Yes it gets a bit confusing, glad you got it sorted too.
I loaded about 6 albums to my sd card today and set Android Settings to pull in the album artwork. Which all happened very quickly and seamlesly.
It is probably old fashioned of me but I prefer to set a Music folder rather than always have the app search my device for files.
Enjoy the app.
Hi Guys,
Just been playing around with my S2 and as I was going through my music library I noticed the music player didn't seem to play my FLAC audio files.... is there a fix for this or could you please recommend a good music player which would support FLAC?
Regards,
Hamid
That weird because galaxy s1 can play flac using stock samsung app without hiccup, maybe try use poweramp?
Poweramp media player
That's strange. My whole library is FLAC and it's playing them fine. Using default music app on stock firmware. As for another music player for flac there is andless which is a lightweight and simple player.

I use winamp pro and mx player pro. Let me know what are your favorite music+video players!
Sent from my GT-I9300
poweramp + dice player/super video for youtube etc.
player pro music player, been using it since the days of x10 mini pro and LG P920.
I use to use poweramp but have been using playerpro for music lately
for video either mobo player or MX player
Neutron!! The only player that supports crossfeed and normalization! It has the best audio quality of any app (tried like 25 different players) and the interface is an audiophile's heaven, although it might seem a little complex to the average user.

Same Schiphol.
Music is my hobby. Since I tried Neutron Mp, I don't care for ANY other music app !
What is limitation of Neutron mp?
1. It can't play .dts!
2. Eats battery, depends on version.
That's all.
What Neutron can do?
Decode .tta 5.1 chanels!
Decode 32/96 format. (Resample)
Dcode 24/96 format. (Sent as is to dac)
Decode 50Mbps bitrates! (Special format 24/382.1)
Normalizer function
Parametrical EQ. This is hard to use , but no competitor!
Strongly recommend!
Second recomend : runs also DSPmanager apk, delete all other dsp like eq.apk, musicfx.apk !

Just moved from S2 to S3 and installed Dice movie player and for some reasons it keeps freezing and hangs
Poweramp and vplayer here. I may have to give Neutron a go though.
I used to like poweramp but it force closes randomly. Mainly if I skip songs. Annoying if I skip like 4-6 tracks it then force closes. It did this on my Note too. Tried different memory cards, music files, etc. Nothing has fixed it. On my Note it was only fixed by going back to gingerbread.
Until that bug is fixed I am staying away. Even the update the other day hasn't fixed it. And the developer has offered swear f all for help when I report the issue. Blames it on my phone. Two phones, 4 memory cards, over 3,000 different files, different file system types, and same issue present in all scenarios on ICS.
Switched to player pro and all is well. Can hit skip 100 times in a row and it won't crash. I use MX Player for videos.
I wish neutron had a better UI, it makes my Aurisonics sound phenomenal. Maybe I'll give it another shot soon, see if I can get used to the UI

Actually the stock player seems good enough for me.
current using winamp pro (like the wireless sync features), tested poweramp, sounds very good with headphones but a waste currently have crackling sounds issues like stock player, hope it gets fix soon
stock and stock! both stock apps are amazing. poweramp only has the ability to delete songs while playing, aside from this the UI of stock is far superior. just wish it had as many options as poweramp
as for video, stock is great, love the landscape toggle, and subtitle support. and popular play, common what more can you ask for

Actually my favorite player is vlc but hahaa its not yet on production for android :l
Can anyone recommend the best Android video playback app? There are literally dozens on the play store. I find that the stock video player with the G Pad plays AVI and MP4 just fine but cannot handle MKV files. Would definitely require an app that uses hardware acceleration as well.
Thanks
I downloaded MX Player and seemed to do well.
MX Player is obviously the best player..
yeah mx player. One additional reason is that it supports so many different subtitles formats
Another benefit of mx player is follows:
If you pin a movie from Google play and it uses a lot of space, you can then use a file manager and go-to the folder and move the movie too your sd card. Out will have a funny name with a gem extension, but mx player can then be configured to look for that extension and still play it, saving valuable space on our internalso storage.

I use MX Player too. Does everything I want. Plenty of settings to display the elapsed/remaining time, etc. I haven't found any format that doesn't work with it.
Last week, i wanted to open some old videos from my old camera. It was formated as quick time, default player nothing, with mx, all videos played just fine.
One more vote for MX player. I use VLC at home, and have dabbled with Mobi, QQ and others on Android, but MX is the most solid overall player around. I watch a lot of stuff with subtitles and this rocks for it. If only the native player were nearly as good!

mx is pretty good and I paired it with Mizuu to organized my movies. Archos is also a good up and coming player.
I wanted to say that MX player is the best one. But I don't think that will be necessary.

MX Player
My vote is for MX player. I have the premium version and it works great on my phone, Gpad, and my son's Nexus 7.
MX is good. I also like Diceplayer lots.
+1 for MX player
MX player is really good to use. Very easy to use gestures for increasing volume, brightness, forward/rewind among other things.
+1 for MX Player.
I'm also experimenting with the MediaMonkey Beta, which plays OKand handles libraries as well too.
Well MX player is no doubt the best player, some other options could be moboplayer, vp player, rock player. Check with all and choose the one that will be more compatible with your device.
Just popping back to this thread to report that I've been playing with the stock video player on this thing and it's actually not bad at all. It supports added subtitle files (haven't tried embedded ones just yet) and the brightness and volume controls are basically the same as MX Player. The scan function is also pretty cool, showing a little preview of the point you're scrolling to before you tap on it to go to that point. Works with all formats I've tried so far, and I've also started to appreciate having the player going in the background (and transparent) while I'm twittering away about stuff.
Anyone else play with and like the stock player? Any shortcomings you can think of?

I was an MX fan (and still am) but Dice player has a nice variable playback speed function. It makes watching some programmes a bit easier, and certainly quicker!
Both seem to farm out the decoding to hardware and that saves battery.
Diceplayer for the samba-ftp no frills browser. I have been streaming from my ubuntu file server without a problem.

I agree, the LG video player - and its Streaming Player facility - is an excellent piece of software; probably the most capable video player to come bundled with a tablet.
That said, MX player handles streamed video better, with virtually no buffering. The LG player tends to buffer quite a bit - and I'm wondering if there's a setting somewhere to increase its cache..
