As we all know Windows Media Player is a memory hog. Trying to send a text while listening to a song seems to take hours. Can anybody please tell me if there is a free media app thats better than Windows? I dont care much about video just something thats not so heavy on the phone that plays MP3 and WMA.
I did do a search and all I saw was people recomending PocketPlayer, but that costs money. I did find DivX.cab (comes with set-up files too), Im about to try it out but i really dont like installing extra software on my PC just for a media player on my phone. THanks for any help folks!
EDIT: DivX is only video, but it looks really nice for those of you who like to watch vids on their phone.

Try nitrogen 0.3.1 by microfi. not sure if it supports wma yet but he is working on more and more all the time. can make ur own skins aswell.
cool! ill check it out and wma is no biggie since i can always convert, I just use wma since the files are typically smaller.
tcmp is a good one
For M-peg files / PocketTV is the best! No lag and perfect lip sync with no skipping.
Thanks everybody for the help.

No PocketPlayer is the best Audio Player about with far more feature than CorePlayer with regards Audio.
The same in reverse CorePlayer is primaraly for Video and very good @ it.
So pair the 2 together and you have Multimedia covered.
ahh rather stick with the classic tcpmp, it ca do both..tried coreplayer..album art doesnt display it as big as tcpmp can

Yes it can do both, TCPMP is just the early release of CorePlayer, to which is why CorePlayer is far more advanced in it's playing capabilities, wouldn't use CorPlayer to play audio or TCPMP as they where mainly designed for Video, where as PocketPlayer has alot of features and is pristine when playing audio.

yeah! pocket player is my main music player, not only for local content in my phone, but also has the web guide that you can search web streams by category or genre , does podcast, you can bookmark streams, you can even use your regular bluetooth headset to listen to music, although I wouldn't recomend it, unless you have a stereo bluetooth headset. It even has an equalizer you can adjust to your liking.

Can anyone advise me on some of the best music & video player app one can use instead of the stock versions? If you consider design of the player apps and it's functions. Thank you. BTW, the stock player does not have a STOP button. Now that is lame.

Best video player I've used by far is Act 1 - my review here: http://www.theandroidappreviewer.com/app-reviews/act-1-video-player-app-review/
It's only recent, but Lithium is by far the best player I've used.
The interface is very professional with great gestural control, 4 widget sizes, automatic album art downloader, custom playlists, replacement lockscreen when music is playing, etc.
But I like it best for the interface. =)

Yeah I had a word with the dev and he said that he may come up with a paypal version but he does not want to right now 'coz of licensing issues.
He said and I quote.
Regarding Paypal, I didn't yet create an account. But then you need to manage the release of updates (need a license key etc). Which might require quite some DEV.
But will think about it in the long term.
Thks again for the support.
Rgds,

mVideoPlayer for movies/videos
Music Player Pro for Music
Music Mod for Music widget
There is no player that does PROPER gapless playback for mp3...
Even .ogg and .flac files all produce a statick click when the next track begins. Is this a 'feature' of the Galaxy in general?

I totally agree!! I love Lithium. I'm trying this new one now called "ttpod" which downloads lyrics and lets you display them over top of all apps. Get a copy and turn off karoke mode if the lyrics over top annoy you . Best movie player I would say is mVideoplayer . I just havn't found anything else like it (paid or otherwise)

Have you tried Lithium ? settings for it but I really couldn't care about gapless play
I've just tried mvideoplayer without success, but I still can't seem to find a (free) video player that will play (or even acknowledge) my .mpg videos!
I'm not interested in subtitles or any other format apart from .mpg
Any suggestions?
Maybe winamp or realplayer?

For audio either winamp or power amp for video its either the stock player from SGS or mVideo player, I didnt include rockplayer on the list as it has issues with a lo of my HD anime files.

Did you actually read my question EarlZ ?
The best music player has to be powerAMP. And the best video player is in my opinion the stock player, it's slick and clean and plays many kind of videofiles flawlessly like MKV.
Personally I think the stock music player is great. Equaliser, effects, and the disc view is pretty cool. As well as controls on the lockscreen (only when using glass lock) and app drawer.
Have yet to see a 3rd party one that makes me want to switch.
For video mVideoPlayer is my favourite. It lacks the 5.1 sound option from the stock player though.
I have yet to find a music player that can sort by album artist (not artist) and provides an output selection of bluetooth or phone.
Really frustrating that such basic features don't exist.
Hello,
is there an alternative music player that supports HVGA? I found Mortplayer but there ist no skin available for HVGA-Screens, so I would be forced to create an own one...
Thanks in advance
I`am also interesting about some alternate music player.
Now i am using core player, but it is not wery usefull because of the small buttons and folder icons. And standard player has no oportunity to play folders...
Thanks for any advice!
TCMP player
The included Windows Media Player?!
The best player you will ever fiend is S2p
you can find it on this forum yust use the search you will love it like i do
I totally agree! S2P is the best music player. I've tried many players
Sent using RapidRead!
AVRCP working well on S2P
Also AVRCP works perfectly and easy on S2P! I will go for it!
Nitrogen
You can find it were on the forum as some HVGA skins

yes they do
I`ve tried s2p, and, as for me, it sucks!!!
It can`t play folder, every start it need to update database, and the interface on HVGA resolution is as small as the coreplayers...
And it leaves files s2p2.tag in every folder (Why I must store this garbage on my phone and PC)
TCPMP, as I understand, is an old version of CorePlayer? Or i am wrong?
P.S. Sorry for my english
What version of s2p You are using.?
Baadshah555: S2P v.1.4
I tried Nitrogen, and it seems to me very good, but there is no normal skins for HVGA. But it has a very fine SkinTools, so now i am workin on my own skin for HD mini, will share in few days...
Here is my HVGA Scin for Nitrogen. Inspired by HTC HD mini Radio

It can play in random mode, but it can play only stock format, such as mp4... I wish it was as powerful as MX player...
I found it!

Oh! I need a video player powerful like MX player and It can play in random mode! And that is... MX player! Press long next button, and I can choose between shuffle mode or loop mode! But, maybe it's too difficult to find it... So, now, I have a perfect video player lol!
random=yes!
THANK YOU!
And I agree--the "random" feature is way too hard to find on MX player. Seriously--I never would have thought to press longer on the next button.
What I think would make more sense is, a selection at the top of the file folder list that says "shuffle"--then you click on that and it plays a random file.
:good:
Hey all, I don't know if General is the correct location for this question, but it's the most-correct I could find for the moment. I use a Galaxy Tab S 8.4 (that's sadly on the fritz right now), and I haven't been able to find any media player for it since I got it that's set up for a tablet. The buttons are always small, the layouts are always off-center or just out of convenient reach, and they look absurdly stretched-out. I've tried searching Google and the app store for anything, but I can't seem to come across any decent "designed-for-tablet" players. Does such a thing exist? Does anyone know of one that provide large buttons and whatnot, despite not being designed for a tablet? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I've tried: Google Music, Rocket Player, Shuttle+, Phonograph, and Musixmatch so far.
The best are MX Player and Dice Player give them a go.

+1 for Mxplayer. Probably the best media player for Android, but not the greatest for music.
Playerpro is my preferred for that.

Thanks for the suggestion! I'm going to check it out. I need one for movies too, but I originally meant to ask for music - not sure why I didn't specify. :-/

I just found Playerpro and Poweramp last night, and I had to go through each until I came to a decision. So far, Poweramp has what I need for my OCD needs, but both of them are full of options that I will never use, and some of the interface parts are clunky and confusing. I wish someone would make a Poweramp Lite.
