I ran into an interesting article that can pertain to a number of you who want a good music app.
Cyanogenmod 9 music app is available for download. Only for ICS devices
http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...-released-for-download-coming-to-market-soon/
Thanks!
Apparently it doesn't support Google Music, which sucks. Can't really see the use in this for me if it doesn't support that. :/

My issues with the stock player with google music:
- status bar disappears in Landscape: WHY? Thats so stupid
- Landscape mode is annoying to use, i want a listing of my music, not cover art. It should have view options. I want my landscape artist mode to show this:
| album art | Artist
| album art | Artist 2
But, I cant use a different player, since Google hasn't released APIs for Google Music, so no other player will be able to support it.
I would still recommend MIUI Music over this. Much better UI.

Don't forget it is in development! This is an early beta I think, many features will probably be added...

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.
Just a quick question here.
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 >.<
Cheers.

Cheers! Yeah I saw it a while ago so I might try it again. I really like the built in app but I can mix and match! The joy of Android
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

Here are the two music players some members would like as an alternative to the stock music player.
Google honeycomb android player looks pretty awesome in landscape mode.
Miui player supports lyrics downloading (.lrc support) which displays music in-app.
The miui player is pulled from my x10 mini pro phone, you guys may like to see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1010394 for alternative mods.
Tell me if it installs fine, because it runs well for me.
will try it..

Not really, i am really big oon music, have been looking for the honeycomb player for looong time , but i just saw the thread
I'm gonna test it on my Ace, I love honeycomb music player
EDIT: Google music is works fine. Yeah, it's beautiful, but a little bit laggy. MIUI player works too...
Both work fine....no lags for me....thanks for the share..
Wow this is good! Thanks man!
I'll try to d/l this and compare to PlayerPro. Really like the look of this MIUI Music but still doubt the EQ feature on this thing.
Anyone have tried?
Hey thanx a lot man, I have replaced the stock music app with this honeycomb

Hey consegregate
Thank you for sharing the apps ... I tried the honeycomb music apk works nice.. however could not locate the equilizer on the app... this is something which i like on the stock app... any idea if i can put equilizer to honeycomb app too.. would be great.
Tried MIUI app too... same... could not locate the equilizer on app... ... need this for my music player...
I've been using the Google Music App for a while with the Music Beta service, works really well.
You could download "equalizer" on your phone if you are on gingerbread.
XDA ♥
Will try.
Though currently on ubermusic beta after poweramp and playerpro.
Did anybody else notice in the preview videos that the Music Beta app is the only music player on the phone? I don't currently own a phone that is supported by the Music Beta app but I thought when you download this app, it lives alongside the default music player, not replace it? But it looks like in ICS the old music player no longer exists and the Music Beta player is the default one?
Yeah. I dont know why you'd want the old one anyway... the new one is much much much better.
Why not? It can play local and cloud music files. It's the only one I use on my phone and tablet.
Just curious what Google's plans are for Music Beta going forward. If it's now the default music app on Android, then it's less likely that Music Beta is going to end up being canceled like Wave or Buzz. So you guys can confirm that on existing devices, Music Beta is an app that's in addition to the default music app?

I think it's integrated into the music app itself. I'm just beginning to upload my music to it now and, I think it's something i should have done from the beginning. As much as I switch devices, it can be nice to have.
They live side-by-side on my Continuum, but that's with adding Music Beta as a Market App, instead of a stock app.
You can remove the old one with root explorer on gingerbread. It's not needed. no point in have 2 apps, with one that does the functions of both.
Google Music is a Gapp that sits right next to GMail.
If a company doesn't want it, they'll use the AOSP music source, or load up their own.
You can disable Google Music syncing in the settings, or just use a different music app (in which there are plenty.)

Hi, I'm searching a music widget for the nexus which works with the standard music player and can show album art.
Pure Music Widget unfortunately doesn't (yet), searching several threads and the market didn't help.
Thanks for some tips.
A
bumo in case anyone else know- i am pretty sure there used to be one... need to remember it... anyone?
****edit**** Phantom music control used to work- https://market.android.com/details?id=cz.jhg.musiccontrolwidget&feature=search_result not sure if it still does.
The widgets that come with the iSyncr app work with the Google Music app and can show album art. Only issue I've noticed is that the widgets seem to be sensitive to how the album art picture is actually attached/embedded in the music file. Most of my MP3s show the album art just fine but there are several that have album art and the iSyncr widgets can't show the album art for some reason.
These are the only widgets I could find that work fairly well with the Google Music app. I tried several others but none of them worked as well as the iSyncr ones. (And it was luck that I discovered these because I use iSyncr to sync playlists from iTunes to my Galaxy Nexus, so the widgets were already on my phone).
Would be awesome if the Pure Music dev could get his Pure Music widget to work with Google Music but he's posted that he can't do it until Google releases the necessary APIs, so that may not ever happen.
Just found out tonight that Pure Music Widget got an update (almost 2 weeks ago, now) that makes it compatible with ICS/Google Music app.
Very good news, IMHO!
but still it dont work with google music cloud service. I cant find any widget that works with the cloud album art.....

Yes, and I'm sorry to say that this situation is unlikely to change. Everything I've read since the Google Music service started has indicated that this is Google's fault; they haven't released the API for the Google Music service and this prevents devs from being able to add in this functionality.
So it's Google's fault, not the devs of the various Android music apps.

Try a different Music Player

this is the cyanogenmod 9 music player and well, it is still in beta.
However, it's very much like the actual Google Music app, but I think that this one is slightly better. The 4x2 widget for this app also shows the album art as well.

+1 this.
all the widgets, 4x1, 4x2, 3x1, and even 1x1 have album art. CM9 Music is a really nice improvement on the stock music app. if you are into the transparent look, you can also get a version with transparent widgets over in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21843241#post21843241
