what is the best music app?

i have been really torn of late as to wether or not to keep my desire over my samsung omnia 7. The killer feature on the omnia is the zune music player and the ability to have an acount and download whatever albums i like etc.
Is there such an app or service that is similar to zune that will give me the same functions. I.e to be able to download whatever music and albums i want to the phone for a set monthly payment.
I know its possible to link my phone to i-tunes etc but then i would have to pay for every album i buy.
suggestions please.
Ps i have downloaded poweramp as my music player and am really happy with that. Just need the means to download my songs to the phone now.
I have also tried to use my zune account with all my music on it and transfer the songs to my desire but due to drm it dosent work. Anyone have a work around for this? If so this could solve the problem as i would stick with my zune account.
thanks

Power Amp. BY FAR!

yeah i have that and agree its a great music player
i need however suggestions as to a good music service that allows me to download albums etc to my phone and whereby i pay like a monty subscription.

Just skip the monthly fee and use tunee music or music junk.

I use spotify. It's great!!

by far, power amp is the best mainly coz it has great equalizer setup, but if sync matters more, then double twist is a good option two.
me, i use power amd in tandem with the double twist desktop software. no air sync, but still works great.

mort player, hands down. not only does it have a good user interface but is heavily customizable and doesn't rely on android to create a file list. for me it was being able to do an A - Z folder list to sort my music bypassing sorting like "genre" and "year".

Best Combo for free music: Transdroid linked to uTorrent. Download the music to a specific media folder on your computer from your phone. Then have Subsonic set up on your PC as well as your phone as a music server. That's what works for me.

use tune wiki.
as for your songs on zune just find the path where its downloaded. btw if you want to access your zune libray via my computer, use "Show hidden folders" option.

If you already have a great music collection subsonic is hands down a must have on any android device. I can get any of my 63 gigs of music anywhere in the world. You can either stream it or download songs/albums to your phone. As far as music player I just use stock cm6 (music mod) with dsp settings handling the equalizer. Gets the jib done for me. Doubletwist now has wifi sync as well as winamp. Just play with a bunch of them and decide which works for you

Poweramp is definitely NOT the best.
PlayerPro is much much much better

In my opinion, Winamp is teh best. But @ best this is subjective.
Give Winamp, Poweramp, Mort, 3^2 (Cubed) player a try.
These are the "big" music players that I know of.

gingerbread apparently has a pretty sweet music function that allows you to sync with your home pc's music library. Sounds pretty sweet but there's a ton of free music apps out there on the market (most likely legal issues involved) but I just google an mp3 when I want one.
Anyone remember imusic tao before it disappeared? That thing was killer. Sadly I paid for it and it was removed about a month later.

If what your looking for is a subscription music service that you can download to the phone is would try rhapsody. I think it's like 9.99 a month and you can dl any track they have or stream as well. I've had the service for years and I love it.

Didn't it just get renamed to "GTunes Music"? That's the app I use currently and it looks exactly like imusic used to.

I use winamp as well. I have an iTouch for my music though, I just keep what I use for ringtones on my phone. Happy hunting.

Of the market.. its between Winamp or power amp.. I like power amp better because of the equalizer.. but now that I'm running sense on my g2.. I like the stock music player.. so I uninstalled the both I mentioned and I'm using the HTC desire z stock music player really nice...

What music apps are you using?

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?

+1.
has built in eq, grabs album art automatically....
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'm using MIUI music player. PowerAMP isn't free and I dislike the UI, it's too overloaded.
Only tested it like 15 mins though.

hmm im a last.fm addic! for all of you who are last.fm friends i suggest the last.fm app unfortunately they disabled the live stream function for all versions > 1.5.6 so the new version sucks big-time if you are having trouble finding the 1.5.6 version and you want to try it - just let me know and ill send it to you!

Winamp ftw. we all used it in our younger years, and im lovin' it!
And also, I think it's a good player!

I use "MortPlayer Music". Simple but efficient.

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.

Music manager

Is there anyway to manage your music on your galaxy Nexus using your PC? Could you use Windows media player or real player in any fashion?

Use the website, https://play.google.com/music/listen
I believe that they're in the works in making a windows application, not sure when that'll be done.

On another note, have they allowed a way for us to upload music from our phones to Google music yet? I don't have a PC and all my music is stored on my phone.

Nope. There isn't Google Music API either.

Still waiting for a day that Google releases API, MMS, and emoji for Google Voice texting too -.-

What is the best music app?

So there are several different music streaming services out there, who in essence have the same music and pricing structure.
What I am asking is which has the best performing app (not service) on Android 4?

My vote is Deezer as I use it daily on my Desire and it is quite good but not perfect.
Rdio looks like a very well developed app, whereas Spotify has several negative reviews.
Opinions?

I love turntable.fm when it works lol.
And I like soundcloud as well.

Normally I use Sony music Unlimited because of the sheer number of albums available unfortunately it isn't available officially for the nexus and the side load crashes.
I've fallen back to Pandora, tune in and rdio

MortPlayer is free and my new favorite that has more advanced features is PowerAmp

Most of the time I use Google Play Music since I've got over 1k songs already up, and they let you have a max of 20k songs. I can't imagine being able to find 20k songs that I actually like. No syncing across my computer/phone/tablet, just upload the files once into Google Play Music and then stream it anywhere.
The rest of the time I use Pandora.

So is Google Play Music the online store to rival iTunes that is only available in the US? Or is it the Android "Music" app to play local MP3s?
Pandora is interesting but also only in the US...!

Agreed. Our N7 is our first tablet, and first Android device and I immediately liked the 20,000 song storage ability.
Love xda, getting some great ideas from just browsing around here. :good:

Google Play Music lets you store songs you own, in the "Google Cloud", allowing you to play your songs from your phone/tablet/pc. You literally can upload all your mp3s into it - no questions asked.
You can also play music locally with it. And then the Google Play store also has music you can purchase which is added to your collection.
:good:

How do i store music in the cloud? I have like 10 gigs of music on my phone I wanna share at least some with my nexus 7.

I know Deezer lets you do the same as Play Music. You can upload to the "My MP3s" section of your Deezer account and stream them through the app.
It works quite well, but in Offline Mode obviously only the albums you download are available not any of the My MP3s tracks.
Also one flaw of Deezer is you cannot sync a single track for Offline playback, only full Albums.

My favorites in favorite order:
N7
Google Music
Cubed
Jango
I do own Poweramp, but like N7 better. I find Jango much nicer than Pandora. Cubed is just visually cool. I use Google Music on my PC at work 90% of the day.
edit:: sorry, I missed the "streaming" comment. Therefore GM and Jango only.

For playing music, the answer is simple - Neutron. It is amazing. What's even better is that you can get a special version for Tegra devices. Here's a link:

You want the NeutronMP_64.apk. If you are an audiophile like me, then you will be in heaven. Grab a good pair of headphones (NuForce is an amazing brand that not many people know about) and enjoy!!

i think the only way to upload is to install the music manager on your pc. you'll then select the folders you want it to upload.

NeutonMP is awesome for its sound quality , but I hate its interface. I love n7 player interface but their sound quality isnt as awesome as neutonMP.

I'd bought both Poweramp and N7 and switch between them. Using Poweramp more and more. Like the album art display much better, more sound adjustments (not that it matters much on a Nexus 7). N7 starting losing album art (or not finding it), so it's not getting used much.

Music app?

What music app are you guys gals using to listen to your downloaded songs?
I'm trying most of the ones on XDA Android apps forums, Pulsar, wave, minmia.
VLC isn't working right, lagging hugely and redrawing incorrectly.
No winamp for Android?

Try Black player. I was big on Shuttle as it's a quality app with material design but Black player just does it all well and has its own style which I like.

Thank you for your suggestion, works very well, and it has the "delete" song from library option, double tap for favorite is nice.

There actually used to be a WinAmp for Android. It was nothing like the Windows app. But anyways, I've used every music player out there and there is only 1 that does everything I want it to. PowerAmp. It's only a couple of dollars for the full version but to me, it's totality worth it.

Before I used spotify and Google music I used PowerAmp as well. I'm pretty sure you can even use the Google music app for local music.

I am using the Sony one (Music was walkman), IMO one of the better, has a nice interface

I have been using Poweramp full version for years. The sound quality is superior when compared to Google Play Music. I have to use Play Music for my subscription but I use Poweramp for my side-loaded and purchased music.

Loaded Poweramp again, the delete function is too embedded.. is there a setting to make it more tap and hold to delete?
And what are the odds this would happen?!

OK has anyone else used pi music player? How can I set Poweramp to play songs as detailed and clear?

Esira with viper4android and dolby all the way !!!!
