Best music streaming app? In your opinion - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Currently using 8tracks, which is good, but I am wondering if there is better?
I hear the following are also good: Pandora, Slacker, Jango, Spotify, Last.fm
I dont know about going through every music streaming app right now so I'm just seeing what people prefer and why!

Try WE7, it's free and it's brilliant.

Best Music App
Well I centarnly think that ZPlayer is the best music app.

I like grooveahark, but I'm using paid version. I think there is free one bit its probably very limited. I had all my music setup on it through the website so it was easier to go with their app rather than setup my library on another service.

I also think that ZPlayer is one of the best and it looks very nice.

[Q] Favorite App?

What is your favorite oh so special app you cannot live without?
I like a TON of apps, from games to entertainment and so on and so forth. but, my favorite app is....
*drum roll*
SLACKER RADIO.
Not only is free streaming radio, you get to pick your stations and you genres. Unlike pandora where you must type your favorite artist/band etc... You can pause skip and favorite songs.
Pretty awesome. I would be sad without it.
So tell me, what is your favorite app?
I absolutely love Lithium Music Player... Eliminates the need for an album art grabber because the one built in is incredible! Plus the graphical interface is very cool!

A tie between Slacker radio (i even subscribed for the monthly fee) and Beautiful Widgets. quick question do you know how to "fine tune" the station on android? i could do it on my iphone but cant find it here.
I never new knew you fine tune it. I will check on my sisters iPhone and see what you mean.

I think beautiful widgets is a given, it makes the phone. I love the mobile buzz widget and get excited any time my vibrant is the subject. Also adw launcher and curve fish widgets. I just can't decide!

Honestly I think I'd have to say the good old stock web browser. I use that more than anything. I've tried alternative browsers but I always come back to stock. The gestures and add-ons in dolphin are great, but the browser is just too slow imo.
And of course I love LP plus and Slacker.
Beautiful widgets, launcher pro, slacker radio subscribed, hd youtube app(replaces stock so I can watch hd as default) ebuddy, photo funia, xda app

Doggcatcher. Podcasts make up about 80% of all listening that I do and that app has saved my sanity on the Android platform. Best 7 bucks I ever spent.
Id have to say that SetCPU is my favorite. Sure I dont interact with it that much, but it makes a world of difference. It allows my phone to run at blazing speeds when needed and then throttle down to near nothing all very quickly and automatically as needed. Now I have awsome performance but on a battery that lasts me all day.
Close runners up are mypics, screenshot, and a few games. Actually I just thought of something, a tie with setCPU will have to be One Click Lag Fix as it has taken my handset from lame to badass in no time at all.

Thanks for mentioning this. Great app. I really dig the slide up menu for artist,track,genre search because it really makes for a one handed operation. Man its really nice. The album art grabber worked great for a few albums I didn't have art work for.

[Q] What music app are you using?

Since I got my Atrix I have been using the Google Music app. Streaming is nice however today I have asked myself why bother streaming when I have a 32 gig micro sd card sitting in my phone going unused? What music player has the best functionality as well as decent ui? What are my fellow Atrix users using?
(sold my iPad 2 deleted iTunes and I think that's what got me thinking about it)
Poweramp ftw.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.nullsoft.winamp&feature=related_apps
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.maxmpz.audioplayer&feature=related_apps
I don't use either one but I've heard good things. Winamp is free and PowerAmp has a free trial.

Just bought poweramp! it looks nice . Google Music is my backup since I like to flash a lot. but Poweramp definitely looks nice .
*I did just install winamp on my pc. I am no longer under apple's tyranny!
Winamp is the ****! Been using it since forever!
I've tried doubletwist, but right now I am actually trying out Google Music and I kinda like it as a normal music player. It doesn't seem to respond to my bluetooth headphones right off the bat, but once I play something, it works. One thing it does that the ones I've tried so far is that it groups my "various artists" albums into one entry instead of one entry per artist. Doubletwist had them spread out, but if I selected one of the entries, it showed me all the songs on that album.
I also used titanium backup to freeze the built-in music player.
I love Google music. I sync my songs and we are all good in the cloud.

may I ask what you guys like about player pro?
I like player pro because of the UI and the features. It's truly beautiful. It does an excellent job with artist and album artwork. The buttons are also bigger than on Power Amp, making it easier to control when on an elliptical or treadmill.
PlayerPro wins hands down for me. Also, download the DSP pack.
I used winamp... really whips the lama's ass

Music Player

Just trying to get an idea, what music player is everyone using? Currently I'm using Google Music but I have a new pair of headphones coming in the mail in a few days and want to get the best out of them. Share your thoughts!

Google music for the sync ability.

EDIT: The dropbox link from the thread I got it from is invalid now. I'll link a download to mine. Place it in /system, set permissions (644), then place in /system/app. A reboot may be required for it to appear in your app drawer.

I also use DSP Manager which has several nice tweaks. It's what you're looking for if you want to get the most out of your headphones. You should definitely check that out.

Hi there. Let me chime in as well. I am using PlayerPro (paid) and I prefer it due to the interface and skin layout. I tried ProAmp and a bunch of others and they are not my cup of tea. I personally don't like google music interface. I also see not much sense in storing my music in the cloud where I can't access it when I am in the air. I am in the process of getting myself a 64GB sdxc and that will hold everything that I currently have on my Zune. As a side, I wish there were an app that lets you use the GS2 with my zune pass subscription, which lets you store your downloaded music subscription etc to your zune player. Currently you can't play this content on the GS2. I am using Klipsch S4 and they are excellent, and for air travel I may switch them on occasion with my audio-technica noise cancelling ear buds.

The EQ app? Just "Equalizer" from the market. I use it since G-Music sounds flat out of the box.

I think PlayerPro has the best interface/sound combo with PowerAmp a close second. I've paid for both.
PlayerPro is the easiest/most intuitive of any player I've tried. The ability to pick the artist photos is a huge plus in my book.
Also, I own those Klipsch S4 earbuds. They sound great!

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

Oh, i also like Play Music, but i have years of playlists on Spotify, so i can't leave it. Also, All Access isn't available in Norway yet. The player itself is pretty good though, and i have quite a few albums uploaded on their servers, so that's nice to have.
