I have a 16Gb Class 4 MicroSD card. Ill be putting my music from my iPod over on to it plus some other stuff I have. Should total around 8Gbs worth of stuff.
Im looking for a music app that will allow me to keep great battery life, simple, nice/intuitive interface. Album art and lyrics arent necessary. Perhaps something with a nice EQ.
Google Music is great, but not necessarily what you are looking for. It's main purpose is to free up space on your card by streaming music from the cloud.
I've only used that, and the built in player for CM7. Both worked great.
PlayerPro has a great UI, skins, and an addon equalizer you can download. I love it.
I like using the Standard HTC Android player. With either DSP, or Beats Audio it has really great sound.
Best one has to go to poweramp
Sent from teh epic pony using XDA Premium
I use a mix of poweramp for music on my SD card and Spotify for music streaming.
PowerAmp is pretty good, you can try the trial and see if you like it before you buy which is great.
Any more suggestions? PlayerPro and DSP slow my phone down bad.
Hello all,
I'm new to XDA, looking forward to talking to you folks, so here goes my first post
I like using these 3 music apps
3 - I think its called cubed but yeah search "3". Very nice music app with a slick UI. The only reason I don't use this solely is because its shuffle feature isn't so great, a lot of repeating songs, other than that its great. Free and donate version
Zimly - Nice media player with a few options I don't need but I use it anyway. Free
MixZing - This player has very nice widget options as well as EQ settings, lyrics, artist biographies...I could go on. and its all free
I was going to post links but as I'm a newbie I'm not allowed to do that yet
PowerAmp
In my oppinion, the best music app is a PowerAmp. It has great design and fuctions.
I am using poweramp right now, it's perfect, beatuiful UI, skins, EQ
Yeah i would also recommend poweramp.
personally im a big fan of google muic. with the skyrocket there was some ****ty samsung media player that couldnt locate some of my music. weird.
Google music
Google music need more improvements and time. Maybe few months later.
PowerAmp or PowerMP (it's changing name to second one) but i offers great functionality and various of options (searching for album arts, eq and tag editor etc.)
First post for me and first to suggest Mortplayer. It's a fast and easy player with nice widgets.
I don't use genre playing etc. I have a sd card with folder MP3 and within that several folders. In Mortplayer I select the main folder and within that I choose my folder of music I want to listen.
It supports playlists, has a nice equalizer and just works great for me I have no wish to change to another player.
After reinstalling PlayerPro it hasnt been as laggy. PlayerPro is what Im leaning towards due to its superior DSP tuning options. It offers the most bands of EQ from what I can see.

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
Search for "Tinyplayer" on market its free n just 60 k app it dsnt hv much of Eye catching features but is lightest
I use Miui Music (QVGA)

winamp
double twist player.... and choose the best that suits u.
consider lyrics and subtitles support if u need.
so many other players in the market, if u r free to search.
and im not sure whether the above miui music player works with unrooted phones also.
Player pro is nice, especially with the pure white skin.
I use Rockit
I use tinyplayer.

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.
TTPOD. and UberMusic. Poweramp is cool sometimes.

viva la MIUI
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!

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.
Hey guys... I was just wondering what is your best music player for android?
In my own opinion, PowerAmp is great but its more music freaks. I really do not need an equalizer and all the fancy features that PowerAmp has. However, I do like PowerAmp a lot because it was able to play almost every kind of music file I threw its way.
Another great music player in my opinion is PlayerPro. It is easy to use and it is interface is nice. It does not have any of the fancy feature of PowerAmp such as the equalizer and that is a plus in my book. However, it is able to play almost any type of music file and that is awesome.
I like the Google Music player too. It does what I need it to do for the most part but I don't like the fact that it supports a limited amount of formats.
I found this site as a cool site for more about the best android apps:

PlayerPro, PowerAmp and Uber Music. Uber Music is a music player whose dev is same as that of LauncherPro. So, now you can guess how smooth and user friendly it could be.

i love N7 and it's only $0.99 for the pro version and ends today.
A lot of people have been telling me about n7 and PlayerPro.
I am relatively familar with playerpro but I have no clue about n7.
What exactly makes n7 so good? I heard they have a nice theme but what else?
I use Zplayer. I like the WP7 style pulse it has tons of options like a EQ, Album Art and editing, Lyrics, Radio stations and also plays Videos.

UberMusic is beautiful and runs awesome. I recommend the zune skin to go with it. It really adds to the whole experience.
I had PowerAmp too and it is very nice but I'm all about the clean aesthetic which UberMusic has and PowerAmp does not.
MIUI music always worked well too.

After having paid for launcher pro and having the dev abandon it with empty promises, I'm kinda reluctant to run with uber music.
Player pro (paid) has the best interface in my opinion. (ics theme), and very good folder support. (keeps the parent folder intact) so I can browse my folders by artist and more.
BUT it is a bit buggy. Id tagging doesn't stick, notification widget on jelly bean freezes, no fade in/out on play, pause, resume. Average song quality.
Power amp is less buggy, notification widget is perfect on jb, and it has better sound quality than playerpro (could be placebo)
Unfortunately I find the interface less intuitive and way less user friendly, and the folder browser plainly sucks. It doesn't respect parent folders, so i cannot browse by a folder structure. Good id tagging though, but doesn't do bulk tagging.
I've been going back and forth between them (having paid for both), atm I'm running power amp.
I wish I could have a music player with proper folder browsing, proper bulk id tagging, simple interface, great quality playback, fade in/out play etc
Most players have very poor folder browsing support, such as default players, google music, apollo, etc.
I'd love some good advice on the perfect player (playerpro and poweramp marriage?)

I agree with you on the uber music thing...it has been abandoned and it seems the dev has started a few other projects that have gone the same way but I find zplayer to be the next best thing and yes it does get updates when it needs it

And the developer didn't abandoned anyone, you abandoned yourself. Piracy was the reason. He is working on projects in a different alias nowadays.

ZPlayer seems like a very cool player. I am going to check it out and add it into my review on AppDigy.. .
Just wondering.. since you have used it.. Do all the features work as promised? Smooth? no crashes?
I'm looking for suggestions for a basic music player ie one that plays MP3's and playlists. I don't need any streaming radio stations, I don't need music suggestions, I don't want it to use data, all I want is a basic music player. Native playlist creation would be a nice feature too. For some reason, even though all my music is on my phone (actually external SD), Play Music sometimes tells me something is not available in "downloaded only" mode.
Thanks.

vanilla music is pretty nice. you could also try shuttle if you want something a little less simple.

Both of those look great. Thanks!
Been using Poweramp (paid) for years. IMO the only way to go (until we see what foobar brings to the table).
Shuttle looks good. The free version does not have folder browsing or native playlist creation, but those aren't deal breakers.
