Has anyone thought about making a Rom for the nook tablet that does nothing but play music, kinda like the ones that are used in car radios ? No play store , no games , just a music player, maybe Pandora, I heart, and few others. I think that this would be an awesome use for these vintage state of the art machines.......... a large mp3 player

Of course you can do that yourself by getting only a few apps, but for some you mention you will need Wi-Fi. Delete everything else you don't want.
I did something similar when my much-loved Insignia Pilot finally died. Bought a Kit-Kat smartphone from Walmart, skipped activation, and installed MX Player and Aldiko, trimmed most of the rest. Much better for $29 than any mp3 player on the market - especially for bookmarking.

WinAmp
Hope this helped
playerpro is probably the best music player i have ran into.
If you want to waste $5.08 on a music play then go ahead and buy PlayerPro. But if you want the same thing, that works just as well if not better, then get WinAmp.
Dont be a sucker and pay $5 for a stupid music player.
Songbird
it is free

No flac support, no eq, no folders, no tag editing....
DoubleTwist is great and has airsync(wifi). The lock screen takes over the whole screen and shows a large cover with good sized rev/play/fwd buttons at the bottom
Does PowerAmp play flac on the Atrix? I haven't been able to play any flac.
Winamp is terrible, for reasons already stated. I've never used Songbird so i cannot say anything about it. DoubleTwist was my primary a long time ago, but for some reason it could not read music files on the external sd so it had to go. It may have been because I had purchased it right when the phone came out so external sd support might not have been working yet. I do not know if they have updated it to work with it or not yet so you may want to ask someone around here if you plan on purchasing it.

Yes, PowerAmp does play FLACs on the Atrix. You can check it out for 14 days. I'm getting close to the end of my trial, and I have yet to find a decent alternative that supports FLAC. May end up shelling out some dough.
On topic, PowerAmp also has a lock screen widget.
I love how people are sooooo damn demanding when it comes to what music play to get. ITS A MUSIC PLAYER!!! not a new phone!

Well we buy nice phones for cool features and a lot of us buy nice apps for nice features too. Winamp isn't bad it's just playerpro is better, in my experience at least.

For many people it is probably the most used function of the phone as well.
MixZing also has a lockscreen widget.
PowerAMP
Don't bother with anything else, nothing compares. Well worth the 5 bucks.

OK, apparently I put the FLAC files in a folder PowerAmp was not looking in, all is well now. Yeah, the lockscreen widget rocks!
i use mixzing it has a lockscreen and also has a eq setting that works great and best part its FREE the paid version gets rid of ads but its not a big deal with ads

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

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.
What features would you like to see added/removed, and are you happy with it compared to the stock music app, or how do you feel it stacks up against another music app.
*This is a general topic, and I'm just curious to see the community's response.*
I don't use it. It doesn't have features I need.
Namely, ability to keep the screen from sleeping, and the ability to limit where it looks for music at.
i like gmusic. I dont use it daily (I use slacker daily) but gmusic works great when I do need it. Its far more reliable than when it first came out, so they're definitely making progress.
My only complaint is when I flash a new rom, it registers my phone as a new device so it adds it to gmusic (which is great) but google limits it to 8 devices. So occasionally I need to go into gmusic website and delete my old devices, which is all the same phone. Its not really a complaint for google but i wish there was a way for it to detect that its the same device/IMEI
I personally love google music I use it daily. I have a computer for school and don't want to cramp it up with music so I can stream everything. Also I use my phone in my truck for music and it is nice to have access to all my music when I need it.
Absolutely love it. I have my entire collection stored. My main problem lies when I'm doing file management and the media scanner starts while I'm playing music. Google Music stops streaming completely and I have to manually restart it. I turned caching off, so that the song being played is solely dependent on the connection, but it still does it. I suppose it stops to look for new songs that might have been added. I'd like it to at least resume playback when scanning stops.
The other thing is with optimization I guess. In my last billing cycle, I got throttled and streaming was impossible (as expected). However, Pandora was still able to stream entire songs, for long sessions without stutter (it just took longer between songs). I'm curious if it'd be possible for them to improve performance on slow networks, so that it's on par with Pandora.

General is something related directly to the phone or an app that comes stock with the phone. GoogleMusic does not fit that description since it has to be installed by the user and not everyone uses it. This should have been in Themes and Apps. Just sayin'.
I wish it would sync with a folder on my phone with all my music, so that when it tries to play a song, it checks that folder on my phone first before downloading the song with a weird name in another random folder. That way, whenever I add a song on my computer to the Google Music Folder, it adds to my phone as well when I try to play it, keeping my music in sync.

That'd be boss. Maybe in a future update?
I love google music.
Especially after switching from iTunes and my iPhone 4. I really hated iTunes haha
i like it on my zoom and Google TV. But I wish it would sync playlist too. A good playlist takes time and it wouldn't be nice to listen to them on phone, tablet and TV. The main thing that make be go back to the Samsung music player is that while connected to my Bluetooth stereo it shows track info on the stereo but the Google music doesn't. Not a big thing, but enough to keep me using the samsung player. If those two were fixed it would be a perfect player.

I too converted, and couldn't be happier.
Absolutely love Google music. No complaints here, it works great. I'm really happy that Google came out with this app, I show everyone with an Android phone.
im using PowerAmp i think its better than gMusic
Not bad... Steaming better but still slower than other streaming apps.
My biggest complaint is music purchased can only be played in gmusic and can't be downloaded to phone or computer. Frustrating when I paid for something. if they keep prices at $4.99 album $.49 song I might get over it... Doubtful that will last.
Saw app in market that claims to make music portable though.

Just click on the song you purchased and click download. It will let you download it at 320k and no drm. Also the google music manager has an option to auto download any purchased songs to your pc automatically.

I would really like to be able to download my music that was uploaded to google music. I had everything in itunes also, and one day after it was all uploaded itunes moved everything without me knowing it and that file got deleted on accident. Of course i didn't care at the time because nothing should have been there. Thanks itunes.

I wish there was a way to manage the songs on the server from the phone. I sent all my music to the server and now run across songs (when in shuffle) that I no longer want. Would like to delete the song off the server from my phone.

uhh, yes it can...
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.
I'm looking for suggestions for a basic music player ie one that plays MP3's and playlists. I don't need any streaming radio stations, I don't need music suggestions, I don't want it to use data, all I want is a basic music player. Native playlist creation would be a nice feature too. For some reason, even though all my music is on my phone (actually external SD), Play Music sometimes tells me something is not available in "downloaded only" mode.
Thanks.

vanilla music is pretty nice. you could also try shuttle if you want something a little less simple.

Both of those look great. Thanks!
Been using Poweramp (paid) for years. IMO the only way to go (until we see what foobar brings to the table).
Shuttle looks good. The free version does not have folder browsing or native playlist creation, but those aren't deal breakers.
