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.

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.

Has anyone found a way to allow the built in music player to scrobble to Last.FM? I'm a Last.FM addict and I was horrified to realise my beloved Arc won't scrobble >.<

Winamp for Android also has a setting to scrobble, and personally, I think that the Winamp app is better than any other music app that I've found so far.
DoubleTwist also does scrobbling to lastfm
Try '³' it's 1 of the best music players, and you can also scrobble to Last.fm

what's the best music and video (PAID & FREE) application for our beloved HTC ONE X?
also what type of video can we put on our X? any frame size limit? and the format as well...
I personally am satisfied with MixZing music player(bought their premium version too). But most popular one is PowerAmp and they said It's the best but they got paid version only though they offer free trial for 1 week or so I think.
For videos, I'm using BS player lite, they got hw acceleration feature also.

I love WinAmp. I love the retro feel.
I've been using the unofficial VLC beta, it's been okay for the most part.
ubermusic. skinnable so you can make it look great - way better than poweramp.
Happy with the stock apps
I purchased PowerAMP a while ago Ehen I has the X10 and Arc, but no need for it on the HOX

stock player, free already there and does its job.
there are lot's to choose from maybe i'll try them all, but for the music player, i think it does not support the "BEATS" feature? only with the default player? is that correct?

Beats is available to every 3rd party app.
And no you don't need to convert movies, except if it results in you getting a file with smaller size and you want that to save mbs.
As for music player, poweramp is definitely the best Imo. Although it didn't look that good but it's features kept me to it. Now with the ics skin, which someone posted on xda, it's definitely the coolest music player.
You might also give Apollo player a try. It will continue to improve. Still not in market I think, but should be there shortly. Google it if you can't wait.
For videos, try mx player. That's all on can say. Try and you'll have the answer to your question.

yes... thanks for that, the reason why i'm asking is because, last month i tried a different music player, and while playing i noticed that sound is different and there is no beats option, but anyways, i'll give it another shot, will explore a bit.
with regards to videos. i have .avi movie format.. copied it in my sd card, tried to play it but is says, file not supported... well, guess i just need to keep on trying..
go here to find out how to enable beats on poweramp which i use. also regarding video player i would just use stock..sorry only videos i watch is youtube...i rather use big screen for movies instead oh and netflix only for my phone when i travel

just wondering what music player do you use?

i personally use walkman player and it's pretty good ( the ui is gorgeous but lacks functionality though )

btw how do you get miui apk file? i googled it but theres so many links ...
Definitely try out player pro. Beautiful UI and very fluid.

power amp pro
Noozy .. a little unreliable but the sound is worth it.
I love the sound of noozy, but its so damn finicky n unreliable that it is almost unusable. Almost. Like I m 99.5% decided to switch back to poweramp. But then I listen to it, n sighhhhh......cant do it. Y noozy Y?
ZPlayer - it's just sexy. The text only styling of Zune on the homescreen with a faded background artist. Built-in equalizer, bass booster, and virtualizer. Do you like the bass up when listening to BassNectar or Cookie Monsta but don't want as much bass when listening to your acoustic album? ZPlayer has you covered! If toggled, it can select and equalizer type based on the genre of song you pick. It will import your playlists, has an album art downloader, bio for your artists, and gives a list of similar artists. Several widgets are also available. You like podcasts? ZPlayer has that covered too. It plays videos. It has Last.FM settings. It even has lockscreen controls. Give it a try.
noozy, met this week to update my radio, since I'm using and enjoying it more and more.
I didn't see "Noozy" on the Play Store. Link anyone?
I use google music with the beats/dsp and love the sound :]

Mixzing Media Player Upgraded.
Def the best music player I've used.
The features that make me love it are..
Has automatic album cover downloads
Lyrics
Lockscreen player (which works with stock CM10 and with the rom I'm currently using; check sig)
beautiful simple widget selections:
1x1 no album art
2x2 with album art
3x3 with album art
4x1 no album art
4x2 with album art
4x4 with album art
I've used others but this is the one I have used since my Nexus One.
There are other apps that support Mixzing (as well as other music players) that you can shake to change songs, etc

I notice that my new HTC One won't play my mkv files properly with the stock video player (plays the video but not the audio). Surprisingly, DicePlayer won't play them properly either.
However, MX Player works absolutely fine (I have it set to use S/W for the audio in Settings).
Just a heads up.

I have used and extensively tested both. BS Player is the better one.
Few things that make BS Player stand out over the rest are:
Easily stream files from other device from your network.
Auto subtitle downloader. This particular one is amazing.
For instance you download a movie or tv show on your pc/laptop, you use BS Player to stream it and it will find the correct subtitle for that video and apply it.
Use BS Player, it is the best video player on Google Play Store.
I use BS player for me the best player..
I use Mobo Player ALOT, it's great, it plays almost everything, has some great settings, plus you can go back to your homescreens and it'll window the video for you so you can still watch whatever it is that you're viewing.
I've also been using VLC Player too, it's still in 'beta' but it's stable as hell and plays everything!
I had to use it as Mobo Player was messing up some of my anime subs.
<3 them both!
VLC
VLC media player does its best

Same here... Ive used MX, VLC and VPlayer.... Archos much better and also pulls in your shared network library of movies.

Ive had disappointing results with MX Player on the ARHD 7.0 - for some reason I cannot enable HW playback so my 720p videos stutter along in SW mode. They run fine on my Galaxy S2

TOTALLY forgot about XBMC for android!!! I'm an XBMC junkie but haven't modified my HT setup for a while. thanks for the reminder! I just installed it and it looks just like the desktop app. I'll have to do some testing fir sure. if anyone else is interested, here's the link:
http://xbmc.org/download/
Easy to maintain settings as well according to their website. It saves it in user data so updates don't wipe them out.

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.

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.
