Hey so what are the best/most common music players? Also, is there a way to flash the stock Jellybean music player? Im running CM10 but poweramp just expired and i dont want to pay for the full version. Im currently using apollo but it keeps freezing and force closing so im looking for a better music player.
I don't think there is a "stock" Jellybean music player per se. Google's official app is Play Music, which is available in the Play Store. I can't speak much to other offerings. I'm a heavy Spotify user (paid subscription and all that), and I can't remember the last time I actually listened to a music file that was stored on my phone.
Try Holo player or Walkman. They are in the android general apps and games section.

Yeah, I hate to pile on the PowerAmp bandwagon, but I've been using it for over 2 years now with few complaints. In my opinion, it's worth the money.
Poweramp expires?
The trial does.
Oh sure. I was getting worried I was going to have to pay again!

+1 for Poweramp. It's $4; less than the price of a decent burger and a third of the price of a movie ticket. Well worth it.
I have been looking since I first got a phone for a music player in which I can set up the library the way I want.
That would be like this: first, I select a genre (Classical, Joshua Bell, Русские песни (Russian songs), Chansons françaises (French songs), or Other.
If I select Classical, I can choose to go to composers and then to albums, to artists and then to albums, or directly to albums.
If I select Joshua Bell, I can choose to go to composers and then to albums or directly to albums.
If I select Русские песни or Chansons françaises, it will go to artists and then to albums.
If I select Other, it will go directly to a list of albums.
So far, I have always just used folder players, but I will thank immensely anyone who finds a player that I can set up like this, that can also play flac files and is generally usable.
(Really - I will thank all of the posts you've made, or at least all that I can thank in 15 minutes of uninterrupted thanking).

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.

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.

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.

+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.

Has the leaked music app.
Winamp is (in my opinion) the best. It offers everything doubleTwist does plus wireless sync is free. The doubleTwist app on the PC side is sluggish and bloated whereas Winamp is quite speedy and lightweight comparatively speaking. doubleTwist does offer streaming to ps3/360 but you can do that already using DLNA so it doesn't really matter.
DoubleTwist FTW... The leaked music app is good looking but too laggy for my constant use

Cubed.
I ended up having to root and freeze the default music player so it would stop trying to take over music duties via bluetooth controls. I had that problem with a few other players too, not just cubed, so if you are using it to stream music via bluetooth, something to think about doing.

So smooth and visually appealing.
WinAmp FTNW! (for the nostalgia win!)
Works pretty well too, and has wifi sync. I mostly just use the player in gtunes or pandora though.

+1 the equalizer in this player is amazing - I'm using the headphones setting and it sounds great.
I like DoubleTwist as well.. easy to sync music and movies
PowerAMP
If you haven't tried PowerAMP for a music player, you really haven't unleashed your Android's music abilities. Hands down the best music player you will ever use, and easily worth the $5 to get the pro version. Check it out!
???!!!
The only problem wit this one is that even if u remove the stock player it wont work with bluetooth streaming/controling...
..Maybe were missing some libraries or something a dev could help us please ;-)

Why do you all hate the stock music player? I've used PowerAMP Pro, Mixzing, and the stock player. And I have to say, there's no damn difference apart from the stock player has a nicer and much more simple GUI, nice equalizer, and is free. Why waste 5 quid on a crappy 'PowerAMP Pro' that wastes battery, looks ****, etc.
Thoughts? Cheers
P.s. I think the Stock music player is ****ing ace .
EDIT: OK because you were all on about PlayerPro I checked it out and damn is it good! It has very nice bass and it's louder too. Only problem is that it uses up 3* as much RAM and 4* as much battery as the stock player, which in my eyes isn't worth it for such a small improvement. Anyway, I still love the stock player, they're both great!
It doesn't read my .m3u playlists. So I bought ZPlayer.
I dont hate it, i like and use it ^^
Glad that someone wrote it finally
I also think that stock player is very good, maybe not perfect but still.
Only player that could threat stock player may be Winamp but now it has so many bugs that for me is useless
I agree , but real player is pretty cool

The AOSP player has a widget I believe. But it's still bland like the TW version.
Even the 3rd party players availableon the market don't do it for me because they don't integrate the way I'd like.
It's sometimes smooth and sometimes laggy, which hate. So I use ubermusic for the total smoothness.

Yeah I just checked out Player PRO, it's pretty nice actually. But what's the difference between that and the stock? I mean, does the stock use more battery? or...or what?
I use stock player and i think other player just use software decoder mean they eat more batteries
MIUI Music app here on a MIUI rom. Can't fault it.
After i got SGS2 never bothered with other players, as stock one is simply great. Nice UI, good sound quality, equalizer, bass boost and few sound effects, that's all i need.

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.

I don't use either one but I've heard good things. Winamp is free and PowerAmp has a free trial.

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.

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.

Hi there,
this is a thread to discuss music player software for the galaxy tab. So far I found 2 nice software players:
Play Music:
the default player has a nice eye-candy ui that looks good on the tab, but other than that it doesn't have much going for it. It lacks an equalizer and visualizations.
Android Music Player by JRTStudio:
this player comes with a clean ui, allthough it doesn't seem to be particularly suited for tablet devices. It also lacks some sort of fullscreen music visualization, but it comes with a good equalizer built in. That way, you can enjoy your music.
WinAMP for Android:
horrible UI, totally unsuited for tablet devices, lack of visuals and equalizer (EQ only in pro version).
do you know any alternatives (free or paid)? It would be nice if the software could show a nice music visualization on the screen while playing music.
regards
Horscht
I have very good references about this:
Here is the trial version.

Wow, PowerAMP looks really clean and works well. The sound options are just plain awesome. It still lacks visualizations but, damn this is a great player. But at a price of 4€ not exactly cheap either. Gonna keep on using the trial for now, see if it's really worth that price tag
I've been using Jukefox for a few days. The first time you run it you need to wait a bit, but that's because its loading album art and generating a tag cloud. Not sure if I like it or not - I usually go for a really clean simple UI. But the way it presents your music isn't like any other player I've seen before.
