What is the best music player for battery life? I currently use Google Play Music. But i noticed its always running in the background even when i still haven't opened it. Also it has so many wakelocks. So I'm looking to switch.
BTW: I use a LG G2 On Cyanogenmod!

Can someone recommend a good music player. My son is using Btunes on his Galaxy II, but of course we can't see the new version on the market only the older one. I have used google music and ttpod and they are not bad I guess, I just wish that they didn't always want to connect to the web. I just want one that has nice usability and the ability for it not to keep running in the background when I close it.
Thanks.
Poweramp is one I used 100% on my phone with 2-4 gigs of space dedicated to music, I've been using google music on my nook tablet due too the google music cloud and the huge selection of music I have, going above 20 gigs lol
I installed and uninstalled Poweramp 3 times and I could never fix a volume problem. With both software and hardware volume cranked to max, it was way too low. I'm using Winamp now and I don't have that problem.
I really like cube. Shows up also as a 3. Its got a pretty cool looking interface and its free too.

I use Player Pro from the android market. It allows you to make playlists and organize your songs/audiobooks in various other ways, plus it plays video files. It also looks good and operates flawlessly on the nook tablet.
I'll second Player Pro. I'm running that now and it works great.
Hey guys. I listen to around 4 to 8 hours of music each day at work on my Galaxy S2 and I'm wondering if anyone knows which music player is best in terms of battery life.
I downloaded winamp and while I like the program it feels like it drains battery faster than the stock player and when I checked the CPU usage was around 16% while playing 448k aac. I understand that the stock player decodes the files via hardware rather than CPU and I was expecting this to be more power efficient. Can anyone confirm if this is correct? The stock player was showing up as near to 0%.
Try to use the miui music app. It use 2~3 % of the cpu. I think the user interface is the best on this music player. You can found it at forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1500763
Doubletwist or Winamp
I prefer to use Doubletwist or Winamp. They do use a lot of resources but I find with ICS battery life is offset due to the new batter management system.
*I do use CM9 or some variant so that also might have some benefit as well.
I've noticed that all the main features of any music playing on this phone (sharing to other devices, playing with voice commands from S Voice) all use the Samsung Stock music player. (which is actually very good... but I have 100 Gb of music that's all in the cloud, no way I'm gonna fit that actually ON my phone)
Is there any way to get S Voice or the phone in general to consider Google Play Music as the default music player? I can OPEN it with S Voice... but I still have to mess around with the screen. Not much use if I'm driving.
Also, is there anyway to share music from the google one to things like the wireless receiver they brought out? I know you can from the Sammy Music & Video players but wonder if you can from others.
Cheers!
So my mp3 player is starting to die and I would like to try my Optimus One as a mp3 player. I want to test it to see how the battery life goes and how the equalizer is.
So I'm asking for sugestions to have nice battery life, with a good mp3 player (Apollo?) which has equalizer.
My rom is hephappy's CM9 last version (so it has Apollo) but you can suggest for general users.
What do you recommend?
I like stock music player on gingersnap running DjnoxD kernel. Music plays for hours with hardly any battery drain. Stutter and skip free. Sounds great. Of course, if you're hooked on ics, this won't help you
sent from xda app. it's all good. flash a custom rom. you will thank yourself.
I saw that Spotify was integrated in with the stock music app, but I never messed with it (Spotify was one of the apps I uninstalled immediately). I was wondering if it was possible to integrate the Google Play Music app with the stock music app (i.e. use the stock interface to listen to music from Google Play).
It's probably that I'm not a fan of the color orange... and Google Play Music has orange EVERYWHERE.
On a side note, just got the phone yesterday (coming from LG G3) and am loving it. Only got warm during the initial update, no lag happening afterwards... not sure why there's so much negativity in these threads on here.
