Stock Music Player - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Any notice any slight skipping when playing mp3 tracks with the built in music player?
I tried with 3g on & off incase it was that but it didn't make a difference.
Anyone have this too? Anyone know a fix or whats causing it?

Anyone having this problem & or have a solution

Am I the only one who has noticed this problem?

Read this thread in the general galaxy nexus forum
[Q] Problem with audio clipping on screen lock
A fair few people have this problem and there seems to be a work around (using poweramp)
will

I'm in the US(unfortunately... sorry family in Whales!) so no Nexus yet.
However, I never like using stock anything & music wise id suggest using something else.
for a simple 'folder view' style player, "Folder Player" is very good. Ofcourse, theres always "Winamp"... but if you don't mind paying, "PowerAMP" is very good.

winamp skips. I found the stock player the only one not to skip!

[Q] Music App that actually plays songs in correct order?

I've tried a number of different music apps, as opposed to the stock Music app in CM6 & I cannot find a single app that will play tracks in proper order!
For instance, I have an Armin Van Buuren double disc that each disc is about 30-some tracks & they all, of course, blend into each. The ID3 tags for each track all show the proper numbering from 1-30-whatever, but when I go into the album the tracks are all completely out of whack, with no rhyme or reason to their order.
Does anyone have a solution or an app that might be better at reading the tracking numberings from ID3 tags?
what about mixzing?
Nope, not even mixzing... Is anyone else experiencing problems like mine or is it just me?

You're not alone. I'm moving on to Baked Snack Rom
I use lithium player, and all of my full albums show up and play in sequence without issue. Its not free, but its the best music player I've found on Android and I've tried them all.
^^I used to use lithium just for the crossfade feature. Its a pretty good player

Samsung Music Player

Regarding music player, I just got used to using Google Music on GN, but with GS3, I have come to like Sammy Music Player
I love the Music Square, once I figured the music needed to be on the phone, and I needed to reload the music.
BUt I like to use genres when making playlists. I don't see them. are they there , is there a way to do it
I know there are tons of music players out there. But this gets lots of great reviews, the equalizer works etc
Is there one that MOST people agree is in the top 1 0r 2 Or is this one now one of those
Thank You
You can setup your tabs in settings. There's a genre tab in there somewhere.

Wow do I feel like a fool
Ill try 2 for 2....for song search, is the only option to drag the slider thru the alphabet?
As far as tagging I see it does that. But album art, how do I get that
I know the other players get it...but
1. Do they keep it? Something I read led me to believe it was just temporary
I am speaking of PowerAmp and PlayerPro. Maybe even WinAmp
All I want is:
Ability to set playlists with genres
Ability to get tags PLUS album art
A decent EQ
Possibly music AND video in one with Video opening full screen
Believe it or not the reviews are right. Samsung did a good job
It can do #1, after u pointed it out.
It can do number 2, waiting on the ART answer
It is said by reviewers to have an awesome EQ
It doesnt play video. But I can use the Video player and It opens FULKY
Doubletwist, Playerpro do not open fully
Thanks Again
Eric.
Can't find this anywhere else, but I'm unable to queue music in the stock music player.
Is this possible, as it is in every other music player I've ever seen?

Nope. It should depend on the Touchwiz framework to run.

There's something called "schnellstartliste" in german. If you long press a song you can add it to that. If you select that from playlists, which should be the first entry, it acts as queue. Maybe that's what you are looking for

This works for individual tracks, but you can't queue an album in the 'quick list'.
You get the option to add to a list and the 'quick list' isn't an option....

you can try poweramp theres a trail version on google play store, its pretty good and has loadsa options, used a couple of different players already and i find poweramp to be the best
I'm using 'cubed'. Good music player but not been tested on the s3 yet, hence can't create playlists.
Can queue tracks and albums though, so not too bad.
I just really liked the stock player and am a bit puzzled why you can't queue stuff properly. It's a deal breaker for me.

Music Player with a2dp, id3 tag, and folder selection support

On the hunt for a music player if it exists, as far as I know only the stock music app and play music appear to show support for the id3 tags streaming via Bluetooth.
Now the only app I've really come across with good folder selection is still poweramp, but it appears poweramp doesn't play too well with a2dp as it takes a a few button fidgets to get the player to start playing when connected to Bluetooth.
So at the moment it's trading one feature for the other, id3 tags and somewhat normal music streaming with the stock players, but no folder support so I'm playing everything on my phone, ringtones, notification sounds and music.
Poweramp works well if I'm just using headphones as I can select just my music folder on my extsd. But the lack in id3 tags and initialization of music through a2dp are horrible, but not unbearable.

Going to try UberMusic today as I completely forgot about it until I saw it's awesome ui again.

Mort Player should be the best bet. The close second is winamp (it costs you to have folder function).
Thanks I'm going to look into that as I've been using PowerAmp and realized it has the selective folder function but still no bt id3 tags.

Is there any third party music app that supports playing your google play music files?
Poweramp shows tags over Bluetooth just fine on my Pioneer deck.

Yep, after the update they're supporting it. Found 'the' player. Nice ui and does everything I need. And comes with an eq.

I read this post and now i'm curious. I have a new Alpine car deck with bluetooth. My android 4.1 play's well with the stock app but with poweramp there is no id3 tags.
what Poweramp version do you use ?
Hello all, i was about to start a similar thread on another subforum...
I am looking for a player capable of almost everything you discussed here.
i have tried several but none has came close to what i need :
- Play mp4 (as video or audio -> vlc play it)
- Edit tags directly on the app (comments field in particular)
- display name of the artist - song name on the video during the playback (i am surprise how almost every player only show song name)
- SD Card
- If possible be able to continue to play even if close the book cover of my galaxy tab s
- good bluetooth integration
i can do without the last two but the others are really needed.
thanks for the heads up

I underestimated the stock Music Player...

Seriously, it sounds awesome with Perseus audio tweaks and a little bit of tweaking within the player itself. I'm not a big fan of the UI, but it honestly just works.
The only reason I'm switching over is because PlayerPro's EQ and DSP pack were giving me issues. The "bass" knob was going...backwards.
PowerAmp is hideous IMO, but sounds good. Neutron isn't really user friendly, but it sounds epic.
Walkman is nice, but Ac!d audio along with it gave me FC's in Sound Enhancement. (Anyone know how to fix this?)
Anyway,
Perseus headphone amplification up to 63, a u-shaped EQ with +2 and -2 being the limits, negative gain on 1, stereo expansion on 6.
Mild bass/clarity adjustments in the music player, +1 on 3D, +1 on room size.
What can I say, I'm happy. My ATH-M50's suddenly have a new life.
I may flash Ac!d universal again and see how it sounds. I do feel like I can get a bit more sub-bass out of these cans.
Thoughts?
I love the stock music player. The only reason why I'm using poweramp (I like its asthetics fyi but let's ignore that for this discussion) is because of the ability to choose the folders that I want. With the stock music player, it pulls music from my dropbox and also voice recordings. With poweramp, I can prevent that which is better for me. I would use the stock music player otherwise. It also helps when I won a license key from poweramp a while back.

Since you guys seem to love it, and more to the point, use the stock player, I have a simple question.
When you open the player, say from the widget, how do you get back to a menu where you can open/switch-to a new playlist.
So far I only found that possibility when I open the app using the standard icon.
That annoyance has driven me to use apollo pro (a beefed up version of the player on CM9+ firmwares).
I have one major problem with the stock player (though it's really the os default behavior). I have a lot of music on my 64gb sd card (50gb?) and when I open the stock player it freezes while it rescans it all (about a min) - same on closing the player - very annoying. It does it every time so I use Player Pro which opens instantly for music and just use the stock player for podcasts. The other plus for me is Player Pro shows the album art on the lockscreen. I have no issues with the audio quality of either, though I also like and use the controls in Perseus stweaks.

I have 38gb of 320kbps MP3's, no freezing issues here in any player at all!
Yeah combo of stock music and google play has replaced poweramp. Like the way google play creates playlist and stock player music squares.
Poweramp is in need of a major update. Been using it for years and its getting dated.

If PowerAmp fixed its playlist issues, I'd probably use it again lol.

This. The stock music player will happily play every media file on the damn phone, not just my music.
I haven't used a SINGLE stock music player in Android ever due to this issue.
I'm a playlist user. I use iSyncr for mac to get all my music on there, it all shows up fine.
I can agree about folders though. I have used them from time to time, PowerAmp did that job pretty well.
Cant u choose wich folder to play on stock player too? I like the stock player as well.

I still haven't found a third party music app better than PlayerPro. Stock music player is actually quite good (probably the best stock player I've used) but I can't customize it in the same way I can with PlayerPro. And when you combine PlayerPro with the "Equalizer" app (paid version), it's a wrap!
No one likes winamp? I've been using it on pc since I was a kid and the app seems good. Shoutcast radio is also a plus.

You guys know you can add a no media file for random music files like ringtones and game files.

Ahh! That's why it was choking and scanning forever - I have no playlists and the music player interface always opened where I left it - on the Songs page/tab. If I leave the interface showing the Playlist tab, it opens without a lag! Now to add a playlist...
Ugh. Using the app to add the playlist is problematic, no impossible. I can choose individual songs to add to the playlist, but as soon as I choose "Select All" it freezes (and never completes the task). Then I tried to make the playlist with various apps but I couldn't get any to make a playlist of all songs given my directory structure (All Music > Genre > Artist > CD). Hmm... What should I call it - suboptimal? ...I finally did make a playlist with my PC version of Winamp (mounting the phone with SGS3 Easy UMS), but I'll probably keep using the Player Pro.
Thank you for that comment though as it explained my problem and gave a workaround (make a playlist with an external app), but I think I have to stick with the opinion that the stock player is poorly made... Though perhaps it would be more correct to say that the Android media scanning default behavior is just crazy bad and needs to be changed - then all the stock music apps would probably work fine. The Gallery app by the way suffers from similar problems for the same reason...
How do you get it to pull from dropbox?

I use Winamp Pro. Has an equalizer and plays FLAC. I also bought the Album Washer and Lyrics addons. Can't go wrong with that.

.nomedia files cause the system to ignore ringtones, and then you can't use them as ringtones.

If you use the widget, open the app with the lower right icon. Using the back button, you can move between main screen, playlist screen and song screen.

Fix for stuttering music on jb roms?

Probably been asked but every rom I use stutters especially on my favorite player poweramp. Is there a fix somebody knows about I haven't found one yet? I tried switching music files, different mods, buffers, etc. Drives me nuts since I listen to music daily on my phone.

Yeah some work some don't really like poweramp though. Might stick with neutron and noozxiode sounds great. No stuttering either go figure.

Tested on Galaxy Nexus (i9250), but maybe similar to s2.
I solved "my" problem with PowerAmp stuttering (micro lagging) in Jelly Bean 4.2.2 with these steps:
In Trickster Mod:
1.) This is the uppermost -> Set RAB (Read ahead Buffer) to 128 (exactly, no more).
2.) Make sure that min frequencies are 350 or more.
In PowerAmp:
3.) Settings/ Audio/ Advanced Tweaks/ Audio Buffer Size -> set to Large +250ms (probably not essential)
4.) Profit
Pls reply if it helps or not
(only for rooted phones)
