Since there isn't one, what do you recommend? I haven't seem any good ones in the market, and there's too many to search through them all.
I'm a big fan if mixzing. Chris Soyars also has an amazing one for cm6 assuming that gets ported soon.
Pure Music Widget. Is nice, many different sizes and skinnable.
I will check those out, but I ended up just porting over the music apk from CM5 and installing that

Stock 2.1 Music Player with widget.
While the Samsung Music player app doesn't have a widget, it might have something better - if you're playing music you can control the app even if the screen is locked. When you're screen is locked you'll see a little down arrow that you can drag down to show your music controls.
DoubleTwist also has a decent widget.

Not only that, you have your music controls from the notification bar. I don't miss the music widget one bit with these 2 options

I third the preloaded music app. Why do you need a widget that's always on the home screen taking up space and resources whether your listening to music or not when you can have controls hidden in the notification bar that only show up when you're actually listening to music?

Are the notification bar controls tied to the TouchWiz interface or can you use any home screen customizer, as long as you use the Sammy player, and still get the notification bar controls?

Its part of the Samsung Music app, not the launcher, so you can use it with any Launcher
The notification bar and lock screen players remain in place if you use a 3rd party home screen (ADW, Launcher Pro), so long as your using Samsung's excellent player.
I don't like Samsung's music player. I don't like that when I pick an artist, it opens all albums. I like the stock music players way of showing the albums, then opens just that album when you touch it. I don't want to play the entire discography when I just want one album. I know there is an "Album" category, but I like my music by artist -> album, not just album.
If that's not too confusing to understand lol
I love the music controls in my notification bar when using the Samsung player, but if I get a handscent pop up message from a text it gongs that music player right out of the notification bar. Sometimes if I go back to the music app its still there paused, but sometimes not. Kind of annoying, anyone else noticing this?
Edit: Reboot seems to have fixed this now, sorry should have tried that before posting.
I use bTunes because it actually keeps my playlists when transferred over wifi from iTunes on my PC (with tunesync). I'd like to use the stock player but it only shows all the songs/artists/albums...no itunes playlists
I found out that Lithium player is one of the best out there so far.
Great Music effects also!

If you click artists, then on the artist, it will still show each album, it just shows them in a list as opposed to icons for each album.
hi all , just wanted to hear some opinions from you people about the best music app/ mod out there..i tried stock , ICS , and MIUI mods they are great but a little flawed
-ICS looks great and smooth but lacks features ...and the widget lacks a back button and don't have album art =(
-MIUI looks great and has quite some features like shake to shuffle and album finder but it's very lagging and lyric function don't work , it still great thou bbut lags too badly
-stock is stable and has a cool gesture function but it also lacks a back button on the widget and don't have much to offer ..so whats player have the best combination of functions , design and smoothness in your opinion? do note that all thewse players are great! but for some reason i have this urge to find something better! so do enlighten me!

there are a lotta players,each has its own features and lacks some too,i tried a lot too,but finally sticked to walkman mod
thanks for the suggestions ..can't find ubermusic apk files and player pto says i parser error =( so i tried a walkman black themed mod and it's pretty good...gotta try it for a few days!
The only beautiful thing of UberMusic is the way how it searches for pictures of artists and put them as background while playing music. But no searching engine, no filtering music and no lockscreen controls are not enough for me. I asked for my refund.
The best for me until now is PowerAMP. It has a lot of options for an almost perfect playing. It's a pay app but worth it.
And the default music player of Android 4 is good too, but kinda slow running in X8, so for now I don't use it.
U can try PowerAmp from market..
It's good and the widget is cool too..
Also, TTPOD is great too, with tons of skins u can dl from the app..
But im using ICS music app bow

Meridian Media Player The most functional and customizable player for your video and music in phone.
The video and music player with most customizable space.
Convenient gestures to control.
Advanced media folder settings, you can set including and excluding folders -- in ANY DEPTH. Not only one level under /sdcard now.
PlayQ rather than playlists, can handle videos, musics, and their MIXTURE. Also, you can put a folder, an artist, an album or like that into a PlayQ.

You know? I decided to give a "second chance" to UberMusic, after I read to learn how to use it.
I've testing it for three days. It runs faster than PowerAMP, wich started to give some errors btw, like getting stuck when I launched it or not searching right for music. I don't know why this happens.
UberMusic runs faster than PowerAMP in my X8 with GingerDX v021. I doesn't have a search option, but I like the letter menu. I think it's more practic to search for music by alphabet than typing the name of the songs, specially when you have to do it with only one hand in portrait mode.
PowerAMP still has more options, but those bugs bother me. Hope those errors are fixed in the next update. But for now I'll use UberMusic as my default player and I recommend it.
I use PlayerPro simple and very nice...
I'd say check Real Player. It can play both music and videos.
Sleek interface and it also has a neat function that allows you to control the player even when the screen is locked.
walkman player is suitable for me.. i like to keep it simple...
Cube Player.
I just like its LITEness. Lacks of some features other players already have. But for me it worth it.

i use stock player of gingercruzt rom and also recommend PowerAmp last version
I still belive that w8 music player is the best but on custom rom i use ics music
U should make a poll and include some players and u'll see then the most used one
For me, TuneWiki, I learn Lyrics very easy
TuneWiki is great since it shows the lyrics. I wish Google would improve the stock player.
CloudSkipper is the best try it. you wont regret.
I really love the stock music player that comes with the evo lte but since i run go launcher as my launcher i dont have access to its widget. is there a way to hack the playerpro 4X2 widget to control the stock player? i would really love that cause i think playerpro has got the best music widget out there. can anyone advise? thank you
Power amp FTMFW
Power amp can use the stock lock screen widget, you should check it out

Hi all,
How to get the music controls on the lock screen . My mate gets them for the music app and Tune in radio.

You'll need a music application like Power Amp. I've been using it for years and it has a very good ICS lock screen including the all important seek bar.
The stock samsung music player doesn't have lockscreen controls...shockingly.
I installed the stock google music player and deleted the Sammy one. Also I don't think the Sammy player works with DSP manager, which the Google version does, so another bonus.
Going from Touchwiz to CM10, my biggest issue is the music player. I think Apollo's interface is clunky and plain bad. Having to browse through album covers instead of text is not my thing, as it implies way too much scrolling (plus album covers don't seem to match quite well.... although they are all fine on Ituns on my PC). It doesn't even have a row of letters on the right to browse quickly to the desired albums and/or artists!
I did try multiple players when I was on stock, but they all drained way too much battery for them to compete with the default samsung player. Apollo seems to be decent in that regard. I don't care much for EQ as I don't use them. As far as I'm concerned, flat EQs should be the way you listen to all music.
In short, looking for this:
Low battery usage
Don't care for EQ
Intuitive interface
Which player do you use and how easy are they on the battery?
I like poweramp, but it costs $1.99 from google play. I don't think its a big drain on the battery.. especially if the screen is off while i'm listining to tunes.
I use Player Pro. The trial version works still after the end of the trial
I was always a fan of the winamp app really simple and straight-forward for music. I was using the free one for a good 2 years and never found a reason not to keep it.
Winamp seemed to use a lot of battery on stock. It was the first option I tried, but it was just a horrible battery drain. Could try it again on CM to see if it is any different.
I'm suprised that noone mentioned Goole Play Music, free, nice interface, slideshow in landscape, fully integrates with CM lockscreen and notification bar, lightweight, good sound quality.
Try this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...NvbS5qcnRzdHVkaW8uQW5vdGhlck11c2ljUGxheWVyIl0.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...51bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5teXNreXNwYXJrLm11c2ljIl0.
best of its kind. Clean music player does what it says
I use player pro but again, sound on CM10 is bad...
