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.

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.

[Q] Google Music in HTC Music Player

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

Samsung Music Player

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
Eric.

Can't find this anywhere else, but I'm unable to queue music in the stock music player.
Is this possible, as it is in every other music player I've ever seen?

Nope. It should depend on the Touchwiz framework to run.

There's something called "schnellstartliste" in german. If you long press a song you can add it to that. If you select that from playlists, which should be the first entry, it acts as queue. Maybe that's what you are looking for

This works for individual tracks, but you can't queue an album in the 'quick list'.
You get the option to add to a list and the 'quick list' isn't an option....

you can try poweramp theres a trail version on google play store, its pretty good and has loadsa options, used a couple of different players already and i find poweramp to be the best

I'm using 'cubed'. Good music player but not been tested on the s3 yet, hence can't create playlists.
Can queue tracks and albums though, so not too bad.
I just really liked the stock player and am a bit puzzled why you can't queue stuff properly. It's a deal breaker for me.

Music Player with a2dp, id3 tag, and folder selection support

On the hunt for a music player if it exists, as far as I know only the stock music app and play music appear to show support for the id3 tags streaming via Bluetooth.
Now the only app I've really come across with good folder selection is still poweramp, but it appears poweramp doesn't play too well with a2dp as it takes a a few button fidgets to get the player to start playing when connected to Bluetooth.
So at the moment it's trading one feature for the other, id3 tags and somewhat normal music streaming with the stock players, but no folder support so I'm playing everything on my phone, ringtones, notification sounds and music.
Poweramp works well if I'm just using headphones as I can select just my music folder on my extsd. But the lack in id3 tags and initialization of music through a2dp are horrible, but not unbearable.

Going to try UberMusic today as I completely forgot about it until I saw it's awesome ui again.

Mort Player should be the best bet. The close second is winamp (it costs you to have folder function).

Thanks I'm going to look into that as I've been using PowerAmp and realized it has the selective folder function but still no bt id3 tags.

Is there any third party music app that supports playing your google play music files?

Poweramp shows tags over Bluetooth just fine on my Pioneer deck.

Yep, after the update they're supporting it. Found 'the' player. Nice ui and does everything I need. And comes with an eq.

try player pro. It can display id3 embedded album art.

I read this post and now i'm curious. I have a new Alpine car deck with bluetooth. My android 4.1 play's well with the stock app but with poweramp there is no id3 tags.
what Poweramp version do you use ?

Hello all, i was about to start a similar thread on another subforum...
I am looking for a player capable of almost everything you discussed here.
i have tried several but none has came close to what i need :
- Play mp4 (as video or audio -> vlc play it)
- Edit tags directly on the app (comments field in particular)
- display name of the artist - song name on the video during the playback (i am surprise how almost every player only show song name)
- SD Card
- If possible be able to continue to play even if close the book cover of my galaxy tab s
- good bluetooth integration
i can do without the last two but the others are really needed.
thanks for the heads up

[Q] Popular alternative to iTunes?

I've been meaning to put some music onto my Note 2 running JellyBomb, but I don't really know what music program to use on my phone and PC (windows 8). For example, the google music app, the default music players, or possibly a music player in the play store. So just wondering, what program is everyone using on their Desktop that's similar to iTunes in organization to sync music to their phones? I tried using android apps that sync iTunes to android devices, but they don't really show the album artwork in the apps. Thanks in advance for any input/advice.

I'm using media monkey. Looks like iTunes but works with Android. Installs on windows, creates libraries, play lists, imports just about all music formats as well as converting to most popular formats. Manages your video, rips and burns CDs. Can act as a media manager both local or across a loan. Too much to mention. Just Google media monkey.

I used Google Music. It's may not be quite feature rich as others such as iTunes or Zune. It works well on the phone. You can listen to music just on the device or everything on the device and uploaded to the cloud. They will even play songs not on either, if set for all songs. It also has a subscription service.
The music player is pretty plain, which is fine with me. Most people who like stuff like Beats just like how it increases the bass, which also increases distortion. But one can find music by artist, album, genre and so forth.
If you're just looking to play on the device and want more features, PowerAmp is very good choice and cheap.

+1 for Media Monkey. If you Google and install a developmental release, you can WiFi sync with the app in the play store. No media manager is as robust as media monkey and I have tried them all.

I also want to endorse Media Monkey. It's great for all of the things mentioned above and all of the great plugins you can customize it the way you like. The Discogs tagger is my fave.
