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.

last.fm
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.
Any one found a way to sync Google Music with the HTC Music Player?
Don't want to install two music players... This should be something HTC needs to think about!
It's not possible. You have to install the Google music app for streaming.

At a guess, google want people to use their app and only their app for a service they are providing for free. I wish it looked better though as it is very basic. If it looked like player pro, that'd be nice

Yes but since HTC makes a phone for "U". This should be in it
beats audio works with everyplayer which is great
If you set some of your music to be available off line then Google Music syncs it to your phone. You can then set the folder it syncs it too to be visible so the music then shows up in all your music apps.
Only problem with this is google sync doesn't embed the album artwork and I also think it renames the files and strips the MP3 tags leaving you with just a bunch of files ....unless this has changed
Si
We can only hope Google will release the music api. Until then there is an unoffical api.

Sense 4.0 music player only adds installed music apps like Google Music or Spotify into the UI
Google music is by far my preferred app to stream my music, but as much as I like it I hate the fact that the widget does not display the album art. I tried Pure Music Widget in hopes to circumvent the problem but all it displays is a picture of a blank cd.
Are there any hacks or alternatives that could fix this? And by alternatives I mean not an entirely new based cloud service but something that ties into Google Music.
Offline Music Importer in the play store (not free despite listed as free) will allow you to use google music tunes in other apps, not very intuitive though. I think I read the paid version of double twist can see offline google music also.

True however for me what's the point of having streaming music if I have to download to my phone. I was looking for something that can stream from my Google account and display the album art in the widget
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
The widget doesnt show album art because Google didnt design it that way. Plain & simple.
Yes I know that which is why I was asking if there was a hack or an alternative app that ties into Google Music to achieve that function.
Not too sure if this is already been posted but I know it's a function/feature we've all been dying to use: the ability to stream Google Music to a 3rd party app besides the the stock one.
I've been using it for about a day now on the PlayerPro music player & it works pretty darn great.
Anyhow, enough talk & on to the show: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2169761

About a week into it or so. It does have its quirks where the system file that hosts the script becomes unmounted but a simple sync & remount solves the problem.
I've also noticed that if you add music to your Google Play library the GMusicFS app will not auto sync your music, you have to do it manually in order to get the music to be recognized in whatever 3rd party player you're using.
I've also used various music players such as Winamp & JetAudio & both work great as well.
An added bonus is no more tiny widget via Google Play Music, you get to use the larger widget that comes with those alternate players plus the ability to view lyrics & tweak the sound that these players have built in; something the Google Play Music app lacks.
Since the Google music app doesn't really work on stock LG roms, does anyone know of any alternatives that let me access my music as well as Google Music all access?
I've been googling around and haven't had much luck but I thought o would ask here as well..

It's a one-time paid app but GMusicFS works well for me. Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bubblesoft.android.gmusicfs
You use it in conjunction with Google music, and you can play tracks from it in other audio players. The Dev is on XDA. The link's for the free trial.
All Access works. I've played stuff in Poweramp before. Most others work, as well. The app also has pinning functionality, by album. Overall a good alternative to the official app, and works well for mixing local and streaming playback. You can append whatever you want to mark the Google music tracks, so you know which will need a data connection or not (eg. FLAC files of your favorite music and streaming the more occasional tracks).
You do have to synchronize when your music library updates, and you can't add to the library or search the entire Google music database.
It's not bad, though, if you like All access as much as I do.
