Saw this the other day on the android apps and games forum been using it for a couple days but I prefer winamp. GREAT player though
I thought the samething but Music Player Pro is right on it's heels watchout!
I downloaded 10 minutes ago but when opens, gives me a pop up that says Trial ended and asks me to buy Pro version. I haven't even used once!

I gave it a try and I really want to like it, but it has no album art grabbing. I mean, I hate to sound so nick picky but I've really grown to like my album art and if you're downloading music, etc, it nine times out of ten has no album art. All of the music players I've used thus far grab the art for you. Course I've not tried Winamp yet.
Am I just missing it somewhere? I am at work, so maybe our wireless is blocking it from grabbing the album art. I'll try again when I get on either HSPA or another Wi-Fi.
If it does grab the album art, it will become my one and only solution.
My favorite music player app is "andLess" -- and the developer is from XDA!
Simple navigation and plays lossless. Bare bones - no equalizer or cover art yet, but the thing just works. Also the bookmarks are nice.
I use it to play music (mp3 & flac) and to listen to audio books.
Tried it but the interface is still in alpha stage to me. Going back to music mod and subsonic. Might go back to doubletwist every once in a while.

You mean andLess? I wouldn't categorize the interface as alpha stage. It is stripped down and I think stingy on resource/battery use, which for me is a good thing. I use an audio player to listen to music or spoken word, not for staring at album art and visualizations.

Just starting a 'entertaining' thread as we wait the last few days for froyo .
I'm currently useing PowerAmp's music player and love it. My favorite feature by far..little weird.. but is when I unplug my headset it instantly pauses.. and waits in the background for anything to plug back into the headphone jack. It plays back up..awesome for quickness.
Was just curious as to what you all use; and some 'unique' feature they may have.
Doh..I'm a little slow tonight; posted in this in the wrong section. Mind helping me with a move mods? Sorry!
Love PowerAmp. Two features that no other player has: view music by folder, and an equalizer. Hands down best player.

I love the 2.2 music player.
Awesome sound effects, controls in the status bar, visualizations, ability to searcha single song to play, and it will continue to play songs from the directory where all the songs are kept. Stays loaded in memory, doesn't stutter.
As far as aftermarket, winamp is great.

I feel like I've tried every one on the market.
The 3 features "dream" features, which I can't find together in a single player are:
Gesture fast forwarding & rewinding (Meridian),
"Recently Added" playlist (Meridian and Stock 2.2)
Bookmarking for multiple tracks (a few, but best is Astro Player).
I listen to mostly podcasts, and I'm using Astro Player now, but the UI is excruciating to use.. counterintuitive menus, super pita. But it bookmarks all of my podcasts really well... open to recommendations

Create a file called ".nomedia" in the directories where you your ringtones and other non-music files are and the media scanner will overlook them, thus preventing your ringtones from showing up in your music library.
audio player with EQ is sooooo sick with the S9-hd bluetooth headphones. you set the 32 herts all the way up and put the 64,125,250 hertz all the way down. then you up the 1k hertz one bar up and then the 8k hertz 4 bars up and the 16k hertz 3 bars up. it sounds like your in a suv with low end punching subs with warm mid range.
you can use any headphones but it has to be noise canceling ear buds
I currently am using the stock desire music app. I have not come across anything as good as the iphone/ipod app yet.
Just wanted your views and recommendations on the music apps you guys use?

the best music player I've used.
worth the couple of bucks for the full version, but you can download a trial version for free.
folder based playlist (though u dont need to create and save; just play or shuffle all contents) + albumarts auto-download + prof equalizer with preamp + scrobbling + lyrics thanks to a separate plugin, + lock screen widget + user friendliness + aesthetic + etc + etc .. this is the only app I hv paid for, it is worth

I use two different players, for different purposes.
I use PowerAMP for music, that works really well. I love the auto-album art feature, and that it can play from selected folders.
I use Winamp for Audio books, witch I listen to allot.
The reason I use two different players, is so that I don´t have to interrupt where I came to, in the audio book, if I want to play a piece of music
Oh, btw Winamp works great to, maybe a little boring interface, but it works like a charm
I use astro player nova which is very customizable and also remembers where you are in each track/playlist which makes it great for long files.

I've been using cubeplayer (or 3 or whatever it's called) for a little while now, but in text mode rather than in that cube format, and have been getting rather dissatisfied with it. It's not bad, but now I'm loading more music it's getting a bit too simplistic.
Think I'll look at PowerAmp, lots of people on this thread seem to like it.
I use Poweramp for the equalizer, pays off when you use a 2.1 PC speaker or airwalk headphones ... however when transmitting tunes via Bluetooth to my brothers car I use the stock version, seems to work better

Music App
I've just started using Zimly after trying Cubed, Mixzing, Honeycomb and others and I'm impressed. Particularly like the lockscreen controls and the layout where you can swipe to change tracks and views. Seem to be actively developing the app as it's been updated a couple of times since I've installed it.
I use the stock one.....
I see a lot of people, use PowerAMP. I've been using doubleTwist because of it's fancy AirSync, where you can sync your music wirelessly. Can someone tell me if PowerAMP does this or not?
Using SubSonic to stream all of my 100Gb music from my computer directly to my phone!
It has transcoding options so if i want to play big music files (eg wav/flac) it transcodes it to whatever you want (eg 128kbps mp3).
You can even set some sort of buffer where it actually downloads music onto your phone for offline listening.

Music PlayerPro
I use Music PlayerPro, I like the GUI.
Trouble is it doesn't separate individual artist albums if searching via genre so a hassle if you have a lot of music.
I found, of the music apps I trialed, only Mixzing works as I'd like i.e. Genre-Artist-Album. Shame its GUI is ugly though.
While trying to get my music on my GS2, I found the easiest way was through the doubletwist player with Airsync. Seems to be a good player. Was using Google music, but that streams abd uses up my data.
What is your favorite music player???
The stock one works fine, had a few others but none stick out for me.

Been using winamp for about a day now. On my computer iTunes manages all my music so I wanted a music player that could sync with iTunes. Winamp does that fine and I like the layout of the player but it has one rather large inconvenience for me: the playlists don't sync. I went into the settings, specified that it sync all my playlists and specified I wanted them on H:\ (my SD card), but nothing :/
I really like Google music. And just so you know, you can save all the to the phone with one press of a button so it doesn't use the data . You can undo it just as easy.

Interesting.....when you do that doesn't it use up your storage space on the phone, being that it is downloaded to the device storage and also does it not use the data to to download it to the phone?
Google music works like this. It stream music from your library to your android device. If you lose connection it can stream past played songs that it has saved. So yes it uses storage, and yes it uses data. But it doesn't use much storage.

I was liking stock for a while, but then Raycaster3 told me about PowerAmp, yes you have to pay for it but its by far gives you the most options and great sound quality. I did a test also with it to see how it sounds compared to the stock 5.1 sound. And it sounded the same if not better. Then you mix PowerAmp with a nice set of SkullCandy in ear headphones and your golden. I dont mean anything too expensive either I just went with the $29 ones because they also come with a mic. They are amazing. Oh I guess I also use Google Music because I have 40gigs of music stored in the Google Music Cloud.

Not to brag...but been a long time PowerAmp Pro user since my Nexus One days, and used with my Monster Turbine Gold Ear Buds....nothing short of awesomeness...PS....spent the last two days walking the carpets at the CES Las Vegas extravaganza and and I listened to no less than a dozen competing Ear Bud companies. The Monster Turbines won hands down for purest, smoothest, most pleasing sound quality, IMHO. Oh....I did get to demo a new Headset I saw featured on Fox and Friends before my first trip to the show a couple of days ago. My Bose QC15 noise canceling over the ears headphones got knocked of by a new company I first heard about at the show. ZIK Parrot phones. They work wired as well as Bluetooth wireless. Sound was great but the added features of hand gestures to control volume and track changes was/ is the way of the future. Instead of dealing with unplugging the phones to pause, simply remove from your ears and the music comes to a stop. Put them back on and it starts back where you left off. No price on these since they are not yet released to the public.
But don't even get me going on the best of the event....LG's 55" OLED 3D TV. Will knock anyone's socks off...period, guaranteed, and I will bet the farm on this statement. Thickness = to 3 credit cards stacked!!! Sorry for the slight thread drift, BTW....

Just spent an hour comparing. Yes, I downloaded the much needed DSP pack. PowerAMP WINS, IMHO, hands down. Give it a fair try to compare all aspects. Going thru the menu more preferences is extremely important too.
My 3 favorites in order:
1. ZPlayer - I really love the Zune player on Mango and this is a very good clone of it. It has integrated Shoutcast, a nice UI, a very nice lock screen controls that displays picture of whatever artist is playing as the lockscreen background, artist bio, widgets, equalizer and more. It's missing a few features, such as better playlist creation, but it's a very sexy and stylish player.
2. PowerAmp - The most complete player on the market. Has just about everything I mentioned ZPlayer has (minus Shoutcast and artist bio), in addition to good playlist management. Only cons, is it costs $, doesn't have automatic mixing like the Google player, and no streaming from Google or Amazon. Still just about the best player on the market. Only reason I put Zplayer higher is because I prefer the Zune player look of Zplayer, but that's totally personal preference.
3. Google Music - Great player, but a few things are holding it back. If I have music stored locally, when it syncs with Google it will duplicate the music, so for example I have two Nine Inch Nail artists in Google Music. I wish it would not display the music stored on Google if it already resides locally. Also will always stream by default, even if song is stored locally. Again, they need to make it so that it looks to see if song is stored locally and play that instead of reverting to streaming everything. Automatic mixing only available for streamed music (FYI, when I mention automatic mixing, I'm referring to the feature that is similar to Genius on apple devices - both iTunes on iPhone and Zune on WP7 offer this feature for music stored locally, Google player does not). Interface is a bit clunky.
Those are my personal 3 favorites. If I could find one that marries the UI of ZPlayer, with the features of PowerAmp and streaming capabilities of Google Music, it would be perfect.
Thanks,
Very informative. I loved Google Music, but with Tmobile throttling, not feasable. Is there a hack to get around the throttling?

Look for a thread in the General section. Use Throttling for a search. You will find it Read the thread and specifically go here.
https://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=10151082945165054
This was referenced in the thread and goes into more detail.
I don't know how long this is going to work, but I have tested this myself and it does indeed keep yopu separated from T-Mobiles grasp on your data usage. I have the feeling this won't last long, based on too many people talking in the open.
EDIT..many of the Roms are also including hacks that help the throttling issue, but not like this which all together bypasses the counting.
For me it's really a two way tie. Poweramp and miui music.

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
