Stock Music Player Questions . . . - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey all
First off I'm really loving this phone, had it since 9am release day and I still haven't fully explored it
I was going to install Player Pro as my music player as I used it on my SII and it did the job. But this new stock player is good and sound quality on this phone has really come on leaps and bounds I think.
So . . . . Some of my album artwork is wrong how do I change it? And lyrics they are checked in the settings but don't appear?
Thank you

[Q] Your opinion of the stock music player?

Was just wondering what you all thought of the stock music player, and why so many of you hate it?
I personally love it, it's very simple and easy to use. The sound quality is great.
I've tried powerAMP,etc. But I always come back to the stock music player.
I prefer the stock over PlayerPro, which I bough for my Motorola Atrix. It just feels more "intergrated" and functional. Love the status bar controll

I personally prefer the stock player, for the same reasons mentioned above. The specific things that I like:
- Notification controls
- Stock lock screen controls
The only dislike:
- No widget
I'm currently using Music Timer Widget which works really nicely with the stock music player. I have also tried the controls provided via Widgetsoid2.x and although they do work, the view isn't always updated correctly.
The stock player was unusable for me for two reasons:
1. No widget. There are a couple of widgets on the market that claim to work with it, but the only one that worked for me only worked sometimes, and was slow to respond and update.
2. It forgets the last playing position. This happened to me a lot, and turned out to be a deal breaker for me.
I switched to winamp and have been relatively happy with it (gapless playback and jumping to current artist or album would be nice, but I can live without them).
Dont dislike the stock music player, but for some reason it i didnt feel "at home" with it.
I dont like the look of PowerAmp but its my preferred choice (love how it downloads album art for me)
For me, the biggest problem was the lack of support for M3U playlists; all my other devices support them, so I had a number already made when I got the SGS2.
Playerpro + dsp 10 bands equalizer
You also have several widgets, lock screen replacement, shake control, hands free controls, skins and more.
For those using A2DP, the stock player is the only one that transmits song/artist data to devices capable of receiving it. It also supports shuffle and repeat that a lot of other players don't.
I usually listen to podcasts that lasts 30+ minutes or so.
The stock player doesn't remember the position if you exit.
It's fine if you're listening to a 2 minute song, but with a 30+ mins podcasts, it is more likely you won't listen to it in one sitting, but would come back to it several times a day or a week.
I personally use Ice Cream Sandwich - Google Music 4.0 ..
it has a nice user interface yo !
im using Poweramp - mainly cause i bought it for my Xperia Arc to playback .flac files.. and i like the App.. so figured might as well keep using it on the s2
i'm a stock music fan too,tried several but always come back to it,plain simple and good quality
The only thing I don't like about the stock player is that it forgets what I was playing if I exit it. Other than that it's really good. Samsung should do something about that.

Stock player is alright. But PowerAMP was worth just every single buck!
Functionality wise stock player is ok.
But when it comes to equalizer, I settled with PowerAMP.
Like PowerAMP for the following reasons.
1. 32Hz equalizer
2. Bass knob in addition to equazlier
3. Lock screen
4. Widget

best video player for samsung galaxy s3 i9300

Hello all,
I used many deodex roms for my s3 : aokp , super nexus , cyanogen
all r smooth and awesome except video player
i want stock s3 video player which is awesome and smooth in hd video playing.
so my question is can i have a chance to install s3 stock video player in deodex roms ?
sorry for my bad english .
thank u
Unfortunately I am unsure as I think it requires some other touchwiz jazz but I would always recommend "mx player" from the market , it is amazing the number of file extensions it supports and how quick it is
Regards
Jack
"deodex roms" is a very general term. many Samsung based custom roms are also deodexed. afaik u can have it only in a Samsung based custom Rom or miui. aokp aosp cm will not have it
I made this same question a time ago..
I tested many video players and this is THE BEST ONE: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mxtech.videoplayer.ad&feature=search_result
It can play ANYTHING, ANY format, and you can download more codecs if you want.
It has gestures controls and everything else.
I've bought the ad-free version.
I 2nd the MX player.
I much prefer Mobo Player to MX.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...GwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5jbG92NHIuYW5kcm9pZC5uaWwiXQ..
MX Player is by far the best video player imo. I've tested all if the top video players and MX triumphs them all.
Mobo player is also a great video player, I have it as a secondary video player.

MX player is a for sure winner here. It plays pretty close to every format, fast, simple, smooth.
Mx at its best:thumbup:

Another MX user here... So, you have your answer. Lets have thread rest
Though MX player is great and II have used it for years. BS player plays a much better quality than MX. I now use BS player.
mx is great but stock in GS3 trumps with shortcuts

[Q] Music player and preferences

Hello,
So recently I rooted my Galaxy S2 and I was on resurrection remix rom and now i've got onto cyanogenmod 10.1 nightlies. so far so good. am hiigh on android
The only problem or issue ive faced so far is the music player, ive got to admit theres nothing like the samsung touchwiz music player.
If you guys would kindly help me out here...
ive tried a ton of music players but every single music player manages to detect ringtones and other sounds including my music, which btw the samsung music player never did.
recently i found this music player that had this option where i add only files above 2mb or likewise but i really dont remember which player that was, do any of you know it?
a newbie here so go easy and suggestions or recommendations would be highly appreciated
thanks a million in advance

Most players have that option. Anyway poweramp is the best music player out there. If you cant buy that use N7 player which is also good. You can select your music folders with both of these apps
2nd PowerAmp, tried a fair few others but nothing came close. Had high hopes for Apollo, but not for me.

Good Music Player

I just wanted to share a really good music player that I found that works great with CM 10.1 Jelly Bean 4.2.2. Its called Terra Music Player, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.terra.musicplayer&hl=en . It works very well with DSP manager, and also has its own equalizer - you can choose which ever one you want to use - and i have had no issues with it what so ever. It even shows the widget on the lock screen when the music is playing. Im using it on my Note i717 and Tab2 and it works great on both of them. Check my sig. to see what roms im on for each.
