[Q] Better Music Application - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I was wondering if there were a better music player for my SGS2 as the stock one is really awful with tags. But I would really like to keep using it, because it displays controls in a notification and on the lock screen, so I'm a bit confused...
Is there any app that displays controls the same way? Or is there any mod of the stock app that better handle tags?
Thanks, and sorry for my poor English

PowerAmp allows editing of tags and has a lockscreen widget. Give it a try!

I know that one and have already purchased it, but I find the stock unlocker pretty good even if it has its own defaults, so I'd like not to change it if it's possible accordingly to what I want :/
Another solution would be to find a software or application that uses the same tags as the stock music player so it wouldn't be messy anymore

Try the Google Music apk that's in the forum.

[Q] Why'd you all hate the stock music player?

Why do you all hate the stock music player? I've used PowerAMP Pro, Mixzing, and the stock player. And I have to say, there's no damn difference apart from the stock player has a nicer and much more simple GUI, nice equalizer, and is free. Why waste 5 quid on a crappy 'PowerAMP Pro' that wastes battery, looks ****, etc.
Thoughts? Cheers
P.s. I think the Stock music player is ****ing ace .
EDIT: OK because you were all on about PlayerPro I checked it out and damn is it good! It has very nice bass and it's louder too. Only problem is that it uses up 3* as much RAM and 4* as much battery as the stock player, which in my eyes isn't worth it for such a small improvement. Anyway, I still love the stock player, they're both great!
It doesn't read my .m3u playlists. So I bought ZPlayer.
I dont hate it, i like and use it ^^
Glad that someone wrote it finally
I also think that stock player is very good, maybe not perfect but still.
Only player that could threat stock player may be Winamp but now it has so many bugs that for me is useless
I agree , but real player is pretty cool

No lockscreen controls renders it pretty hopeless for me. I use playerpro.
Stock Samsung has lock screen controls which i find useful but the app its self is awful, no widget, no shuffle, lucky i just use music2 ( Google music beta ) now but lost my screen controls.

The AOSP player has a widget I believe. But it's still bland like the TW version.
Even the 3rd party players availableon the market don't do it for me because they don't integrate the way I'd like.
It's sometimes smooth and sometimes laggy, which hate. So I use ubermusic for the total smoothness.
player pro > all

Yeah I just checked out Player PRO, it's pretty nice actually. But what's the difference between that and the stock? I mean, does the stock use more battery? or...or what?
I use stock player and i think other player just use software decoder mean they eat more batteries
MIUI Music app here on a MIUI rom. Can't fault it.
After i got SGS2 never bothered with other players, as stock one is simply great. Nice UI, good sound quality, equalizer, bass boost and few sound effects, that's all i need.

i love the stock player.. used playerpro, poweramp, that MetroUI one from Fede, Doubletwist, Winamp etc..
Only thing I wish it could do is edit ID3 tags or at least properly read the ones set by iTunes
I use the stock player on my Samsung, but needed to go with 3rd party on my Atrix. But for Samsung, hands down I LOVE the stock player!...

Music Widget For stock ROMs

I am a music freak and have a custom but Stock based ROM installed on my Phone.
The Music app is the 1 which is by default in Stock Gingerbread ROMs. I wanted to ask if thier is any music Widget for Ace.
P/S: Sorry if the thread is already existing, I searched a bit but found nothing.
Use some other music player like poweramp,mixzing,cubed or even GMusic...

[Q] CM9 stock music app

Hey guys. Im not exactly sure if this is the right forum i'm posting. Please move this thread to where it belongs when im wrong.
I need the stock music apk from cm9 nightly.
Not that one with blue headphones. Not the google one with orange headphone.
Im looking for that music app with the blue speaker icon. I think it might be the stock froyo or gingerbread music app, but im not sure about it.
I looked also on xda and found threads about it, but there werent any answers or i found dead links.
The major thing i want this app is because it has features wich i miss on google music or ics music player.
Eg. I click on interpret and it shows me the ablum. On the player i am looking for besides the album title, the amount of titles it has was shown. I never saw that on any other player again.
And the most important thing im missing on all other players is the ability to put music to actual playlist. I dont k ow how to translate that in to proper english but i hope you understand what i mean.
When i click on "put to playlist" only with the old player i get the "actual playlist" thing. I dont need to savy any playlist, i only put them n line with other songs im already listen to.
I messed up my old nand backup because i thaught i saved that file with titanium b.
I cant find also any older cm9 nightlies. And all i found is that new ics player.
I would be greatly thankful if anybody has that file or give me a link or sth.
Or if you can tell me how i use these features with the new ics player.
Thanks for reading and helping.

Yup, I agree its the best one I've used so far
Have you tried doubletwist? It's not too bad.
I like Google Play Music the best because the interface looks really snazzy and the homescreen widget looks good next to the other stock ICS widgets. The cloud sync features are also pretty useful.
Player pro or Poweramp. I use Poweramp.
I use the Poweramp, but i like the winamp too.
I'm fairly certain by now I've tried them all and not one was even close to as useful as Poweramp. I bought it because I liked it that much!
It's packed full of useful options and features, hard to avoid this one!
Ironically, the best music player I've found was the stock one in CM9 before they switched to Apollo.
Aside from that, I'd recommend poweramp, just don't expect any support for it. Last I checked their support forums was full of spam and hadn't seen any non-newb questions getting answered in months.
Poweramp because it's equalizer remains the best. Player Pro's eq isn't a good in my opinion but it is still a solid player.
I like n7player

[Q] New to Themer and I have a few questions

All,
I recently downloaded Themer and love a lot about it. It's quick, and very nice looking.I realize it's still in beta and I can appreciate how stable it is for being a beta program.
My questions concern more the area of customization rather then functionality.
1: Is there any way of adding my own Smart categories? I'd love to be able to reorganize some apps into a slightly different hierarchy/grouping.
2: Is there anyway to get the launcher to recognize the Music player on the Galaxy S4? it refuses to use it on any of the home screens/themes I've tried even though I've got it set in the app preferences.
I'm coming from using a bunch of other launchers that are good, but not quite what I've been looking for.
Thanks in advance.
1. The function is probably going to get added

on the S4 m8 just select widgets from themer menu then select the music player widget
Alldroid, these themes already have a music player widget as part of them. Replacing it with the stock music player widget would ruin the theme. For now I have it pointing to Play music player, but I would like to have the Samsung music player be the default app for playing music.

Hi,
1. We are planning on doing this in the future.
2. The manufacturer music players are incredibly hard to incorporate, but it will also be added in the future.
We apologize for the inconvenience.

You can log in using your Google account. You needed a Google account to log into the Google Play Store and download Themer, therefore you can use that same account
