Pocket player is very nice: Play lists, equalizer and lots of other features I don't use. It's not freeware, but it's worth the $10 USD or so for the features and sound quality.

Better Music Player Alternative to Windows Media Player

Have a look here
http://www.pocketmind.com/pmfp.htm
The PocketMusic Player is a must for anyone who is serious about music quality. There is a customisable 10 band graphic equaliser for a start with presets or adjust the equaliser settings yourself. There a bass boost facility. Supports multi music formats. You can use winamp skins as well.
When used through my XDA 11s and Sony EX71 phones the results are fantastic. Much better than WMP. Good value for $20.

Any other alternative?
Pocket Player from Conduits
http://conduits.com/products/player/
Simple Tunes from Visual IT
http://www.visualit.co.uk/simpletunes.htm
Don't forget Conduit's Pocket Player and Kinoma FreePlay
Conduit's Pocket Player - http://www.conduits.com/products/player/
Kinoma FreePlay - http://kinoma.com/play/
i'm using tcpmp with the bassbost applications
PS: i also modified my original BA's headset to match the 3,5mm jack. the result are fantastic.
but you can use the original motorla rokr's headset for our BA.
music player for manila 2.5
im a total noob on this winmo 6.5 phone...i have a touch pro 2 for att...but i dont like the music player because it wont display my albums artwork...it shows one art work for all my music...can anyone tell me whats wrong??? thanks...sorry if i posted in the wrong area...but im new here. sorry.
that usually is because of the mp3s. this is a sample situation to cause that bug (that is present on all devices and all players btw., even on the pc):
- play a song with a cover inside the mp3
- play a song with a folder-wide cover that is not in its original folder
- play a song w/o a cover
from that point on, all the songs will display the same cover, because the song without cover could not override the old cover, which behaves odd anyways, because it is not in its original folder.
this was just an example, but to avoid bugs like that, you should integrate the covers in the songs and get rid of all the folder.jpg /png cover.jpg /png and similar files
but asides from that, you can of course, try other media players, like tcpmp, link in my signature (tuts and downloads), or s2p (ac-s2.com)
alternative for wm
i think u can go for Nitrogen which good for playing mp3 and other audio formats just search for Nitrogen for wm6 in google.
S2U2 works very well also.
Core player!
i used MP3Tag to integrate my album's artwork to my mp3 files..and use Conduits Pocket Player..works well for me

I can't help you with the Itunes Sync part since I don't use Itunes and never will; however, as for media players these are what I have installed and use pretty regularly
WM Media player
HTC audio manager
S2P really great but no playlist support unfortunately
TCPMP for video's and audio and I use this for internet radio- really great
MortPlayer - aslo really great and skinable with some really nice finger friendly skins available for download.
All of these are freeware and work perfectly on my HTC touch Elf. Unsure if any can sync with Itunes though or even how to sync with Itunes, but all worth checking out in my opinion
Again, cant help with the iTunes part but PocketPlayer is a great one. works great on my dash and looks nice too
Pocket player and pocket tunes are very good.
PocketPlayer defo the best music player, not sure but think you could use MediaMonkey to sync.
Thanks everyone, I really appreciate you suggestions, I'm trying Pocket Player now,
COREPLAYER is the best one for me.
I used pocket player and tcpmp somtimes, But i almost exclusively use COREPLAYER . I know it's not free, but one of the best players out there.
pocket tunes can sync with itunes
Wow, Pocket Tunes,looks hot and iTunes support ooof, I like, I like, I'm so vested in iTunes and kind off like it, my iTouch, etc etc.
Quick Question when i go to a site like streams4pda.com on my phone to try and stream something it opends up windows media player and gives me an error mssg what do i do
anyone? different media player?
For Mpeg Vids
I use "Pocket TV"..The best for me, No lag time or lip sync problems like I find with all the rest.

Can someone suggest a internet music/radio app

All in the title really I want to have an app I can use to listen to internet radio or stream music something similar to pandora or last fm what is the best app and how reliable are they?
also I have a readynas duo is there an app i can install that could access the music on there over the internet? (also the video as well would be nice)
many thanks in advance.
chris,

Hi thanks for the reply, this software looks really good actually, do you know I see it says it supports UPNP i beleive my readynas is upnp ready and my ps3 and xbox both pick up its media server as a upnp one do you think this means I will be able to stream content from my server? I would guess definately over wifi but what do you think about the internet, lol sorry if you have no idea, I see it also supports internet radio as wekk which is nice. I would really like a standalone application that gives random music based on what you like I tried pocked scrobbler but the transfer speed want that good only got around 2-40k.
Also I already have core player for movies but is it any good for streaming music?
many thanks again.
I've tried many players like TCPMP, core player, pocket radio, gsplayer ...
And the best I've found so far is kinoma : http://kinoma.com
This player also supports shoutcast streaming, included aac+ streams (better sound and less data
Try it and let me know if you like it.
If you like last.fm Pocket Scrobbler is a nice free client.

Any FREE media players for Dash?

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.

you can pm me
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.
isnt pocket player the same as core player?

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.

Best music & Video player app till samsung galaxy S?

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.

Thanks, btw, how come it doesn't say Pro? when I did a search Music player only came up. Though it sais that I can get the pro version if I donated in thier info on the site but I did not see any option to donate.
Im using mvideoplayer while its able to play subbed .mkv files
Sent from my GT-I9000
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?
Sent from the smooth and shiny thing
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.
