any substitute for our dear music player? im not really impressed with the player we hve right now.. i am looking for something that can have playlist on it so that i can choose just the right song for the right time.. thanks!
[apk files and screenshots is very much appreciated]
I use doubleTwist, it works great. You can also download the doubleTwist desktop program (aka iTunes for Android) to sync media to your phone.
I'm using Btunes,the clone of iphone music player..
nice nice.. both are great.. thanks guys..
I recommend "3" or "Cubed" (it's the same) or RockOn. And they are free.
Cubed/3: http://abrantix.org/3.php
Rock On: http://abrantix.org/rockon.php
u can create mu3 playlist with any program with the songs on your sd card on your pc, save it on your card and the media player on your phone will have it
gee thanks... thats too many options for me..
i've settled with mixzing after trying doubletwist and btunes. the best match for my needs as it can add all songs from the same genre into the now playing list.
you can download an older version (which is ad free) from brothersoft, if you don't need the funky capabilities of the latest verison (e.g. equalizer)
I am losing hope to find good player for android...
Does anyone know some good player for android? I tested few and none of them fits my expectations. Until now i was listening videos and music on Play Station Portable, that player was just perfect (only playlist option and it would be totally perfect).
I need a player that can browse videos and music through folders (not showing all folders in one place, it is useless, but just folder explorer), and it should play videos. And should have ability to repeat music and videos also.It is all that i need, but everywhere are just useless aplications... I have found PlayerPro, it was quite good...
but for music only. videos was still packed all in one window, without even folders.
I have x10 mini pro, with 2.1-update1 android (it is impossible to update it on my phone T_T)
I am stuck, i do not want to take phone and psp with me everyday. Android is computer, they said...... ehh... I can even pay for good app, becouse i have no choice. Thank You very much.
(btw, what is the reason developers do thing like this? Why not use same interface for videos, or why not to browse files just by folders? i will never get it...)
When i had this x10 mini, i used Uber music

Amazing!

Player Pro does this.
Agreed +1 on player pro (current player with sense skin)
Also use the folder option as well...so that option won me over entirely
I think there is like one more player that offers a folder option (trust me I went through them ALL) but cant think of it to save my life...might of been miui player??? idk?? dont hold me to it...
I think Mixing had folder option as well. I started using Player Pro a couple years ago and never looked back.
It's good but i prefer poweramp
Sent from my Motorola MB855 using XDA App
It has a nice interface, but messing with the EQ too much causes it to hang. And if music is playing, you can't control it in any way, the only solution is to force close the app.
I usually just use Amazon MP3 to play music. The stock Blur player leaves a lot to be desired, and Google Music doesn't (seem to?) differentiate between cloud and local playback. With Amazon MP3 it's real easy. Plus, I buy music from them and I've ripped and uploaded my CDs to their cloud (and to Google's, it's nice to have options, heh). It isn't a great player, but it's reliable. And while I enjoy music, I don't play it on my phone often enough to need a fancy player.
But, thanks for the link, it was fun to try out.
I have a 16Gb Class 4 MicroSD card. Ill be putting my music from my iPod over on to it plus some other stuff I have. Should total around 8Gbs worth of stuff.
Im looking for a music app that will allow me to keep great battery life, simple, nice/intuitive interface. Album art and lyrics arent necessary. Perhaps something with a nice EQ.
Google Music is great, but not necessarily what you are looking for. It's main purpose is to free up space on your card by streaming music from the cloud.
I've only used that, and the built in player for CM7. Both worked great.
PlayerPro has a great UI, skins, and an addon equalizer you can download. I love it.
I like using the Standard HTC Android player. With either DSP, or Beats Audio it has really great sound.
Best one has to go to poweramp
Sent from teh epic pony using XDA Premium
I use a mix of poweramp for music on my SD card and Spotify for music streaming.
PowerAmp is pretty good, you can try the trial and see if you like it before you buy which is great.
Any more suggestions? PlayerPro and DSP slow my phone down bad.
Hello all,
I'm new to XDA, looking forward to talking to you folks, so here goes my first post
I like using these 3 music apps
3 - I think its called cubed but yeah search "3". Very nice music app with a slick UI. The only reason I don't use this solely is because its shuffle feature isn't so great, a lot of repeating songs, other than that its great. Free and donate version
Zimly - Nice media player with a few options I don't need but I use it anyway. Free
MixZing - This player has very nice widget options as well as EQ settings, lyrics, artist biographies...I could go on. and its all free
I was going to post links but as I'm a newbie I'm not allowed to do that yet
PowerAmp
In my oppinion, the best music app is a PowerAmp. It has great design and fuctions.
I am using poweramp right now, it's perfect, beatuiful UI, skins, EQ
Yeah i would also recommend poweramp.
personally im a big fan of google muic. with the skyrocket there was some ****ty samsung media player that couldnt locate some of my music. weird.
Google music
Google music need more improvements and time. Maybe few months later.
PowerAmp or PowerMP (it's changing name to second one) but i offers great functionality and various of options (searching for album arts, eq and tag editor etc.)
First post for me and first to suggest Mortplayer. It's a fast and easy player with nice widgets.
I don't use genre playing etc. I have a sd card with folder MP3 and within that several folders. In Mortplayer I select the main folder and within that I choose my folder of music I want to listen.
It supports playlists, has a nice equalizer and just works great for me I have no wish to change to another player.
After reinstalling PlayerPro it hasnt been as laggy. PlayerPro is what Im leaning towards due to its superior DSP tuning options. It offers the most bands of EQ from what I can see.
I'm sorry I know this isn't exactly the place to post this, and sorry for the all caps. But I AM TOTALLY ENRAGED BECAUSE NOBODY WOULD MAKE SOMETHING SO SIMPLE! and nobody would give an explanation as to why!
First of all, I know your music players can in fact, play music files, I tried every single music player avilable, yes I'm not kidding I tried all of them, over 50 of them. Most of them will start and play music. But that's not what's I'm after nor the reason I am so enraged.
Here is why:
THEY WON'T SHOW THE FULL ALBUM ART!!!!!
The ONLY music player, I repeat, the ONLY one out of over 50, that shows your embedded album art properly is the Neutron Music Player, but it's paied and I can't buy **** from the country I'm currently in. and the beep version is too old the touch controls suck.
WHY? WHY? WHY?
What's so difficult? You can make all these more difficult features work sometimes perfectly, but you can't make this very simple task of showing a jpeg image properly? Many of these features I have no idea why they have priority over showing an album art, especially when they seem more difficult to develop. I'm just glad I don't have an android tablet, I can't imagine how crappy it would look on one of those! I'm glad I use the iPad and all of my album art show perfectly in full quality it's just fantastic.
- lyrics and time stamped lyrics support. what's the point? most of you probably listen to music in your native language, what you can't understand what they're singing? Shouldn't you already know most of the lyrics in your collection? this seems like a difficult feature to develop because you have to make a scrollable surface for text ontop of the UI. Isn't that more difficult than just putting up a picture? in fact you have to show an album art anyway! why not just make it show the orginal one instead of the scaled down crappy version? it's like 5 minutes of coding!
- automaticly download album art and lyrics. I just don't get it, if you have pirated music you're too lazy to sort, get on a PC and there are plenty of programs for that! why would you do it over mobile network on your phone!?
-socal network intergration. I'm sorry I never use any of these features, I don't see the point of letting your friends know what you're listening every 5 minutes.
- n-band equalizer. get a better headphone, instead of your stock headset. it's 10 times more effective than any equalizer. the math involved in this must be very difficult especially those that can prevent capping or smooth the curve. Why does this have priority over the basic feature of showing an album art?
===============================================================================
A good music player is really very easy! but none of them will got that tiny final step! It's pissing me off!
Google Play Music: all you need to do is show the embedded album art, and get rid of that stupid blue background, just make it black!
Neutron Music Player: get someone to make you a new skin without all those 2006 style 3D effects.
Apollo Music Player: have an option to turn off the altomatic download, show the embedded album art.
================================================
ok I just saw another thread giving out a bounty for a fix. Maybe I should do the same. I'll also put up a bounty of $50 for a music player that satisfies the following requirements:
-has the basic functions of a music player (play, pause, shuffle, supports MP3/FLAC/AAC)
-displays tag information such as artist, album, title, etc. with full support for unicode, no question marks, random symbols or squares.
-shows the FULL album art embedded in the file it is currently playing, with good quality scaling method without stretching, and without size limit (at least not below 2mb)
-appealing UI. For example, Apollo. Or some of the Chinese music players. Or the MIUI/ Meizu MX defult music players. NOT LIKE PowerAMP/ PlayerPro/ Neutron Player. The album art must at least fit inside the screen, meaning 720pixels wide or more.
-Power efficient, uses NEON instructions.
-buttery smooth
-ad free
optional:
-has lockscreen (Jelly Bean default) integration with FULL album art embedded in the file it is currently playing, with good quality scaling method.
-shows embedded lyrics
It does NOT have to include these features:
-sort by album/artist/recents or any other categories. as long as it has a list of songs I'm happy.
-anything to do with internet, streaming, downloading,free music none of that.
-equalizers, effects
woo you got a new phone there, what is it? android?
yea, the HTC one X on the latest Android 4.1 Jelly Bean! here have a try! it's smoother than iOS!
oh cool! I heard it's also quad-core right? must be really fast!
of cours, browsing is a breeze!
how about music? I see it's got Beats Audio, is it a good music player?
errrr well it makes sound, if that's what you mean. but the sound chip isn't exactly top notch.
wait, what's that? why do your album arts look like crap?
errrr, for some reason all android music players show the crappy scaled down version?
What? why? you're been talking about all these high end hardware, the Infinity Display, the quad-core processor and the 1GB RAM. All these, but you can't even see the full album art? WTF? what a piece of ****!
Don't forget to add proper album track listing in order.. My pet peeve

Have you tried PlayerPro, its a great simple music player on Android. Fell in love with it after got sick of PowerAMP cause when you hit the back on PowerAMP it goes back to the library and not to my homescreen.

It doesn't show the full album art. haven you even tried it before suggesting?
play doesnt use embedded art?
Ive used a few players over my stay with android, my vote is with google play music. jet audio player was pretty kick ass too but i didnt like the restricted options for free version(and it let the system dsp take over if present)
for google play music personally like the blue background, after all it matches the ics/jb theme. and unlike jet player, doesnt get choppy on lock/unlock and orientation change.
btw, embedded album art for google play... miss something?

on the second screenshot shows why jb lockscreen integration and "FULL album art" wont always work. the jb system handles the album art on that.

Obviously I tried it, you know heres a funny thing I use PlayerPro and it does show full album art
N7player does a good job finding album art, better than iTunes IMO because I export my library from iTunes using iSyncr and iTunes has failed to locate album art for several albums I have however N7 can locate many more covers that are missing once on my phone in addition you can tell N7 to place the art in your music folder so it can be made available to other players if you don't like N7's interface. i keep just shy of 12GB of music on my phone and i'm pretty happy with the album art situation myself it's more complete than on my iPod or iPhone.
you also need to keep in mind that all players have to search a database in order to recover album art and making sure all the relevant info is in your ID3 tags will help alot in getting the correct art.
You don't need to whine to make a point (which you do, or maybe not as it seems that you didn't dig deep enough in your pursuit).
1) Here's a surprise for you: mobile phones, and particularly smartphones, have their screen turned off when they're used as MP3 players. They'll usually be stuck in a pocket, not displaying album art. They play music, and keeping the screen on to show the cover art takes a hit on the battery.
2) Here's another surprise for you: few people bother with album art. People play pirated music.
3) And here's another surprise for you:
most of you probably listen to music in your native language, what you can't understand what they're singing?

is an utter falsehood. People will listen to whatever sounds cool to them, be it gangsta ebonics at its finest, Levan's Polka or J-Pop.
What has value in music apps is not cover art: that's tertiary for most people. What differentiates them is usually format support (yes, lossless formats are not a given in all players), sorting algorithms (yes, people want to sort their music) and interfaces (there I agree that an overhaul may be necessary in the top dogs).
Are you starring at your music album art while playing music and keep screen on?
I think most people just play music while screen off. Doesnt make sense. The most important of music player is how they produce sound quality! Not album art!
And one more things is go make you own music player if you good enough or DONT USE ANDROID!!!
BTW I prefer Google Play Music.

On the contrary, I'd start with the best phone possible. Otherwise you miss out on cool things. I'm very happy that I could pick the best Android phone of the time (Galaxy S) when I started using Android...

Really? I found Rockbox the easiest to use. Simple, clutter-less, no-nonsense interface. The default Cabbie theme may not be that visually appealing though. So I changed to another one. At least it's a lot better.

I felt it seems to lack the nice interface that PlayerPro has.
Hi all,
I have an extensive music library - and I'm currently using both Play Music and the default Music app to play the songs.
However it appears that no matter what settings I choose, whether I skip songs or not, both apps with only choose certain songs to play out of the 500 or so I have stored on my SD card.
Do you have recommendations on a good music player (prefer only music as don't watch videos) that doesn't just have a set list of tracks but actually shuffles when it says it is.
Thanks,
Linz.
Poweramp is pretty good but you would have to pay for it
yup, PowerAMP rocks!
there are music players like PowerAmp, N7player, PlayerPro, etc... all have trial versions, maybe you should try these and decide by yourself.

im more of a clean design guy with a serious music library ocd,
always used shuttle+ since it keeps my library sorted with artist and album pictures, its latest beta gives it a more material design feel, and has never let me down.
On the 'free' front, I have used Vanilla Player and would recommend it. It's very capable of handling large number of files, and playlists.

On the 'paid' front, PowerAmp seems very popular. Personally, I have used 'Gone Mad Music Player' and found it very capable too of handling large number of files & playlists.

Both of these players support ReplayGain, which was an important feature for me.
