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!

can you browse by folders ?
ePocrates, for work.
Love the fact that the beta android version seems to run faster than the iPhone version, and is also much easier to read with larger font
Second favorite app right now is probably the game Air Control
Tippy Tip, Aldiko, AndroNote are runners up

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.
So since i've been home from college i had no reason to listen to my iPod...and since i left it in my truck while it was freezing cold...now it doesnt work...so now instead of buying a new i'll start using my phone...so what's a good music playing app that'll keep everything organized???
Depends what features you're looking for. If you just want something simple like an iPod the TWiz player is great, plus the notification drawer integration is nice. If you like Winamp and wanna stream music from your computer, then you'd probably like Winamp. The best in my opinion is the more advanced, feature packed PowerAMP. It is a paid app now, but you can try the full version free for a while.

if you have the vibrant.. the stock app is great by itself. Buuuuut If you want a great music app with an equalizer and everything else.. try Power Amp. Its an awesome app and it has a full screen widget.
thanks guys...i just "got" PowerAMP and it looks great...thanks for the suggestions
Sent from my XDA app cuz I'm stalking your mom....
I actually really like Winamp on my Vibrant.
If you're looking for audio streaming from your pc to your vibrant; you can't beat Audio Galaxy. The best interface out there and it hasn't failed in both quality and ease of use.
Great product though! Also check out mixzing. That's a pretty cool app too...

+1 on Audiogalaxy. Ive been using it for a while now. As long as youre in an area with good coverage/wifi, youll always have all of your music on there. And for me, thats even more music than I can fit on my 120gb music.
But for music on your sd card, the previously mentioned PowerAmp is a great option, sleek UI plus an awesome equalizer.
Im running ginger clone anyone have the link so I can get the stock samsung vibrant music app the phone originally came with it was real nice

i personally use playerpro, loving it. lockscreen functionality too!
I'm big into music on my vibrant and I am using the MIUI music player (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=854766). Give it a look.
Mixzing is the best. Can organize by folder or how ever you want. Can even set it up to only show music in certain folders. So you don't have random sounds like you would in the stock music player. Plus has nice Widgets. And Album art. Very nice player! Also can play video files too. If you want!

If you liked how the iPod / iTunes did things you might enjoy DoubleTwist. Then again, you might just enjoy it anyway. Has an AirSync add-on available too. However, I'm currently using Player Pro. While it's not free, I haven't found it's equal in the many other players I've tried.
you need to try this i love it
{app} miui music player apk
here is the thread

+1 for miui, great replacement for the stock player. Myself, my mp3s are nicely organized in folders, and not all of them tagged properly, so I ended up with a ton of "unknown" artist tracks. Found MortPlayer in the market, and it plays by folder, not tag. Saved me a ton of work.

Im using Playerpro also. Great app. Not only does it have lockscreen functionality but while locked the volume buttons can be used to change tracks and control volume. Love it

Have u guys seen this music player? the guy who created Launcher Pro is currently working on it but so far looks great...give it a try...here's the alpha 2 version :

Very nice! If it had some Widgets and was compatible with lyrics app, I'd replace player pro this instant. Awesome look and responsiveness, though.

This is an awesome music app for it to be in alpha, especially since it has scrobbling from last.fm.
Force closes on me sometimes too but i suppose that is to be expected.
keeps FC for me, thats a shame since it looks as a nice music player...
Hope next versions will be more stable...
It's a really good first attempt. I put it next to my HTC surround, and it looks freaking perfect. Now only if I could get all the DRM stripped off my Zune Pass content....
Really nice. very good start....
one problem....
IT FORCE CLOSES!!!!
If it force closes, email Fede (the developer) with your logs and what not. He'll try to fix it. Better for everyone and more productive than just whining.
Mine works perfectly fine.
I like it, just wish it had a widget.

Where is the e-mail add for the developer and where do I get my logs...to send?
Its in alpha... does nobody seem to get that!? He hasn't even got a beta.
Sent from my Motorola Atrix 4G on the network with the most backhaul, whatever that is
most of the time I realise it force closes when it could not pull out the album art fast enough. Not sure if I'm making sense here.
Let me just try again.
While using the app, I realise one peculiarity.
When scrolling though songs, there are occasions where by when the new track starts playing, the album art that is shown, is that of the previous track. And usually in these instances, the app will encounter an error and force close.
Now this appear to be a great app in the works, and if it were to support the a search function instead of just scrolling through the list as well as the ability of editing playlists on the fly, it would be perfect.
For me is working OK. Rooted Stock OLYEM_u4_2.1.1
Thanks for posting about this I'm really loving this player

thanks for these suggestions. i tried news 360. its user interface is nice .... and reminds me of flipboard somehow. before any updates from above apps mentioned , ifeel news 360 acts more reasonable for 10.1.

I love pulse. A preinstalled app that doesn't suck is great.
Pulse is okay, I hope flipboard comes to android.
It would be nice but I recently took a survey with News360 and they're currently working on Twitter/Facebook integration. It could possibly help me forget about Flipboard.
Man...if only I could code, I would have started working on an app just like Flipboard called Scrapbook. LoL. I wouldn't be surprised to see Flipboard appear on Android sometime after Christmas. I still wonder if Apple doesn't pay some of these developers not to work on both.
It seems silly as anybody who can program, can just take your idea, change it a bit and put in on another marketplace.
with that being said , flipboard to me ,also is far more better in providing iformation than any apps i tried on android os.
just by searching word 'cancer' , in these apps vs flipboard , one can clearly see the difference ....
hope flipboard coming to android soon ...

Another thing is that they need to make the content more customizable and give more consideration to the individual preference.

That is true.
Apart from the tremendous claim for their attractive layout, this is a real problem.
There is not enough personal customization of content, and most often, the status updates chronologically.
Ive never had the chance to play with it but having seen reviews, I would really like to use planetary on android.
I would pay 4.99 on the market for that
What do you mean there is no Flipboard-like app? Theres Google Currents which is superior
I was currently searching for planetary. Only thing i found , was this thread.
Can someone port it for android? Or am i asking something incredible?
I have flipboard installed on my tab. In the play store says isn't compatible but you can instal it if you download the apk from other source. Once installed the app says in the first time open that is not made for this screen size but works perfectly!

Just a quick question to see which music player app gets the thumbs up :good:
I'm currenty using n7Player and it's ok but i have to manually scan when i've added new albums.
I'm not a fan of the stock player as the windget has limitations.
Google it and you'll find plenty comparisons and reviews
did that @ Glebun, so i just thought i'd post it in the Q&A to see what others thought.
I agree with you, stock player is trashy. I prefer winamp.

There is a music player review in Themes and Apps probably but not certain by Nick Fury .

There's no better player out there than PowerAMP (pay version). Bought it at full price and it's one of the best apps I've every bought.
stock player "Music Player"
I prefer the google "play music" app. Its easier to use plus the widget is better.

Poweramp....no questions, the best by a long way
Poweramp user here too.
i use the stock music player with AC!D mod. Really good for me.
Best player
I use apollo or stock music player.
Stock player by me
It is enough
Just saying the name of the player has no value or usefulness, at least try to explain why you prefer it.
R: [Q] Which music player are you using for s3?
Double twist.
(@ glebun: y u keep spamming bro? XD)
I use it cuz its got a very fluid interface plus it downloads album images (i guess most do) but it reminds me of the ios player simplicity. Very good, i like it more than others try it.

To be fair to everyone i did only ask which player people were using. not for an explanation as to why they're using it. just wanted a general idea of what app folk are using out there for music. Thinking of giving Poweramp a go!
Thanks for the replies.
