[Q] Anyone uses G2 as an MP3 player in their car? - G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

if you do, what app do you use? the stock "music" app IMO is a bit trashy so i was wondering if anyone knows of a better one. plus, is there a way to not have the screen autolock (quite annoying)? thx!

I used to with my mt3g but can't find an adapter for my g2. I stuck with the stock music app.

I used to use the stock music app, but now I'm loving Winamp. I recommend giving it a shot.
Doubletwist is a close second.

Meridian and no lock. Both found in the market for free.

MortPlayer Music. The best car features are the swipe gestures for playback control and the ability to lock the screen orientation.

I used Cubed. Think it looks the slickest. (If you do a search for Cubed, it's the one listed as the 3 cubed symbol).

Winamp

MixZing and I have a widget that I sit next to my MixZing widget that keeps the screen on at all times, perfect combo since I always have the phone charging in the car.

Doubletwist

Stock app, and I use Bluetooth audio streaming to SYNC and control playback via AVRCP. So, little to no interaction with the phone's playback software.

I'm liking the PowerAMP music player
it's here on XDA

I'm hearing good things about PowerAMP. I'll have to check it out.
Hey scrizz! I see you're in Tampa...I'm right across the bay from you!

Im using Winamp it works alot better than the stock music player. Another nice feature is when you lock your screen and you unlock it you can have it set up to change the track or pause the song without having to slide to unlock.

I use winamp, and I love it haven't tried anything else yet but its wayyyyy better than stock imo.

Adapter? You mean a regular 3.5mm headphone jack? You don't need a stupid adapter with this phone.
I use music mod, a better version of the stock music. Works great for me.

Music controls in notification bar?

I've done some searching around here and the market, and I can't seem to find a solution any where. I'm looking for a way to put music controls in the notification pull down bar? I think it would be convenient instead of having to switch apps or add one of those pop-up apps. Thanks.

Hmm. Also interested.
I believe some music apps have this built in, but it would be nice to have a system wide version
Bumping this out of curiosity as well. I was playing with my phone and listening to music and realized how beneficial this would be to have...
Although I haven't been able to find a ROM/App that does it yet...

MixZing does this. It also plays videos.
I'm using the incredible does sense desire port right now, and HTC has added a pause button to the pull down menu along with album art. It's very useful, but I still think that a skip button would be a plus.

Just tried mixzing and I'm not seeing notification controls.
I was really looking for a skip too, not just pause. I may have to try the HD port now tho.

Better music player than winamp??

Is there something better than winamp out there? It keeps locking up on me and uninstalling/reinstalling doesn't seem to help. I like the swipe to skip songs feature, so if there's something that has that feature, that would be great.
Any suggestions?
I'm using Apollo. Nothing fancy but it gets the job done plus it has equalizer settings.

Can I get it from the market? The link to download it from the site is blocked here at work.
I used MysteryEmotionz Blacked out Miui Music. Works really well. It's in the old Epic apps area. Zip won't work in recovery, just push apk to system/app.
Poweramp... best there is!
I love player pro

I used apollo for a bit, but the sound quality was not great. i got a lot of distortion. the eq does not work at this moment to my knowledge. mine kept reverting to fx or w.e. its called.
to answer the OP question. Poweramp is the best, hands down. It is a few bucks, but you get what you pay for. The eqing and sound customization is phenomenal. The overall appearance (including the lockscreen) is great as well. Give it a test drive and youll see. I think its a 14 day trial.
edit: i dont use it, but im pretty sure you can swipe to go to the next song in the app and lockscreen
Poweramp

Poweramp. I believe you can still try it free for 30 days.
poweramp is great, only complaint (big one for me) is that if you use bluetooth for your car stereo, it doesnt pull the song title like the stock music player does

I believe so, atleast for me. like i said, you can give the full trial a go for 14 days
i got poweramp, player pro, and mixzing
i say poweramp, equalizer is better.
but mixzing was cool cuz it would set up a playlist for you and now it doesnt work well anymore.
its unanimous, poweramp. play pro is good too but I didn't like the eq very much
I was having massive winamp problems too and recently found Doubletwist. Its been working really well for the last week or so. It does shoutcast streaming as well, only complaint is that seems to time out and not reconnect to the stream if it drops for any reason.
JetAudio or Poweramp.
I used poweramp for a while but I'm really starting to enjoy JetAudio, it's brand new as well so it can only get better.
poweramp!!!
I just tested jetaudio. it doesnt display song title info from blue tooth on the car radio either

What Music App are you using?

I was curious to see everyones music app of choice is? I've tried em all except winamp and slacker radio, but I think I'm gonna go with PlayerPro for a while....I love having the lockscreen widget back!!! (Missed that from using it on MIUI on my OG Evo) Anyways curious to see what everyones app of choice is!
None of the above - jetAudio Basic
I use Amazon MP3 which is not listed above.
Player pro. The gap less playback alone makes it worth using. Also the developer is friendly. We spent about a month fixing the blue tooth track display after I emailed him. I was very impressed at his level of support.

I like the stock tw music player. Basic, but functional
Sent from my SGH-T769
doubletwist, which isn't listed.
I like the stock on the SIII simply because it has the Cover to Pause feature.
That feature has been awesome to me especially when driving and I have to pause a song, I never have to look at my phone.
I do still like Google Play Music App, gives me access to a bunch of songs that are streaming off my cloud.
If only there was an app that had Cover to pause feature and the ability to stream music off of our Google Music accounts... :cyclops:

I agree 100%, best music player out there imo
Google Music for me
I like doubleTwist since I'm able to sync it with my desktop version and transfer and manage songs just like iTunes.

What's your preferred music player app?

Topic. I'm using the default one for the first time since I've been using Android. On my evo epic 4g and 4g touch I always used player pro but since owning the s3 I don't feel a need to use a after market one unless someone ports over the xperia music player with working widgets.

+1 for poweramp paid. I don't buy many applications but Poweramp was the one of the first i paid for. And I'm soo glad i did.:laugh:
I used the built in player for a few days, but I saw no means to retrieve the correct album art, and lol that annoys me when my music shows the wrong art, so I started using power amp paid version :good:
Now you guys wouldn't happen to be the developers of this app hmmmmm? lol

This kinda moves the original question into another area, but how do you keep the ring tones saved on your phone from being played via the music player? I'm at the point now that I do not save music on my phone. I just stream it from my cloud. Thanks.

Most music players allow you to select which folders to add to your music library. Although others scan the entire device for sound files.
I like the option of storing files local. Works great for subways and airplanes.

I've been playing around with Music Player (remix) lately. Its still fairly new on the Android platform and the dev has some bugs to iron out, but the menu system is incredible. Almost everything is accessible from swipes left, right, up. $5 is a bit steep, try out the demo you might just fall in love with it.

have you found a way to fetch the correct album art with the tw music app?

Looking for a music player. Where have they all gone?

Im looking for a good premium music player, because all I ever use is Apollo and I want to branch out. BUt other than PowerAmp, WinAmp and Double Twist I can't find any decent ones they all seem to be streaming services???
Anyone know of any hidden recommendations for music players that are good and polished??
If you are on sammy 4.3 rom, then nothing is best than the stock music player.
If on other, you can try jet audio.

If you are rooted I'd install viper sound mod. It isn't a music player but has tonnes of audio options and really will make your music rock

I personally find PlayerPro the best... have tried just about all out there... but it's also a matter of taste and preference. Everyone is different. Can give it a try, though others recommended already are also good options.
I've been using player pro for years. Also use it in conjunction with viper. I try other players from time to time and keep coming back to player pro. Best thing about it? You have an issue, contact the dev. When I had an atrix I had a few issues with the software. Over a number of weeks I tested various fixes he sent me and he got it sorted. Very friendly guy.

Samsung Stock Music Player all the way! Use the viper sound mod if you want a boost in sound (or want to act like a sound techie!). If you want diversity, try ZPlayer (Windows Mobile styled music player), or Play Music (the best, gives a stock Android feeling)! Winamp is also very good!
