Honestly I think they both suck but if I had to choose between those two it would be Apollo. Google music caches random things I never asked it to and doesn't cache what I want it to. I use doubletwist.

BOTH
At the same time!!!!!!!!

I think PlayerPro is the best music app, I even payed for it. Pure White theme is amazing

I prefer Apollo, but I have both just in case I want to play music from the cloud.

That's not what was asked... apollo or google play or gtfo... I don't like either, but apollo sucks way less than google play music.....

Google play music, just because of the cloud (only on wifi, not 3g) and the default settings are perfect for car audio. I've played with the Apollo just couldn't find anything that makes it stand out from the abundance of music players on the market.

Apollo is garbage, I was just giving another suggestion because they are obviously not the only music apps. Gtfo? Ok

I use Apollo with the Black theme. I can't say I love it, but it plays music and has the "Hold volume UP to skip" feature... which is really all I need (I use Shuffle All while jogging and it's nice being able to skip a song I dont want to hear without needing to even look at my phone). Last time I checked the Volume UP skip didn't work with Play Music.
I do wish Apollo would get an update with more features, neater UI, and do better with album art.

And that would make sense if he asked for music players other than google now and apollo.... but he didn't so ur point is invalid....

Ok fine

I use Apollo, not because I like it but because I don't feel like downloading any other player.

I prefer neither. I use rocket player. Organizes music and podcasts better than anything I've used so far.

As long a Google music keeps the cloud service, it can't suck. Besides being able to customize the equalizer, organize music, and how it looks what more could you want out of the millions of music apps?

They both suck. Poweramp is the best music player. Period.

I used the Amazon mp3 could app, and but since they limited it to 250 songs I think I'll switch to Google music.

If it's only used for cloud then it's ok. I live out west so when I leave urban areas service its spotty so I have to have music on the phone as well. Google music doesn't cache what I tell it to. It just caches random things so because of that I say it sucks.
Power amp could be good. It has a lot of features but the interface sucks.

you save music for offline mode before you leave the house. Google Music because of the free cloud service.

Of course. But it doesn't save what I tell it to. It saves random songs.

Poweramp Market Sale

Just saw that poweramp is on sale in the market for $1.99. It's normally $4.99. It's a great app to play music for those that don't have it. There's also a trial version available if you're still unsure about it. Gets my approval though :thumbup:

this was one of the better usic players that I found awhile back. But sadly when I got into Google Music Beta it just no longer was worth it anymore. If the music players could add the option to use Google Music I would most likely start to use some of them again (I hate having to keep music on my phone at all times to just use the music player)

I agree. Im solely using Google Music now, so I opted to not buy PowerAmp, even though I love it. Useless since I dont like storing music on my phone. My entire 50gb music library is on Google Music. If only it could play my Google music somehow, then that would be beast!!!
Is it still on sale? I already own it so I can't see the price. Want to give a heads up to a friend if it still is

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.

Apollo.. thats where its at
stock TW app. or google play music for my music on cloud.
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.

Samsung Music Player???

Okay, I absolutely love the native Samsung music player on my Galaxy S III. The sound quality is amazing in my headphones and my car. However, there are some things that need to be improved like downloading album arts, organizing my music by their albums and such. I've tried n7player but it doesn't help out much. I've also tried the tag editing tools and other music players like zplayer, playerpro and other music players in the Google play store and those don't help out much either. Any other solutions?

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.
