Favorite music player? - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

What is your favorite music player?
I just flashed AOKP and it does not come with a stock music player so I want to see what others are using and like.
Please mention what ROM you are running and if there are any known issues with the music player.
Thanks

Not sure about any S3 roms, but I had an AOKP rom on my GS2 Skyrocket, and DoubleTwist worked amazingly. I like it so much better than the stock MP, and it's free.
Stock ICS on my S3

This [poll] is missing the poll.

Double twist is my favorite and I've tried all of the popular ones.

i love the stock samsung player, the only thing it's missing is are lockscreen controls

Neutron MP. It's all about the sound. Horrible UI, but unmatched features and sound quality.

dont have one but:
Stock player is not that bad.
Poweramp is average.
Still looking ...

I use the google music app. Lets me play both local and googke music tunes.

Poweramp

Rhapsody is my favorite and you can't beat it if you stream music all the time and I am running the gnote 2 port.

I have been using Poweramp and really enjoy the UI, widget and lock screen controls but it tends to be daunting on battery life.

+1 for PowerAmp. I haven't noticed the battery drain, but I wouldn't doubt it. Are you using the EQ settings? That probably uses more battery.
Spotify is another one I use because I'm a subscriber. I like it a lot for the music available, the EQ settings, and the options for download quality.
I am on a AOKP rom right now.

Google Play Music, you can download the APK off XDA. Really nice music player and looks great too, and am also running AOKP.

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

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?

PowerAMP is my favorite music player on Android, and it can do all the things you're asking for.

Some help? Have to root?
I'm on gs3 stock..
Thanks

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 do as well. I just don't like the fact that some of my ring tones are mixed into the music player. Does poweramp allow you to choose the folder?

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.

have you found a way to fetch the correct album art with the tw music app?

Music App recommendations for Toroplus on SlimBean

I still can't quite find the right music player for SlimBean. I have tried PowerAmp, Google Play, stock Music, WinAmp, DoubleTwist, Songbird and a ton of others. Nothing has everything I need.
I want:
Scrobbling
Utilizes DSP Manager
Plays smoothly (looking at you PowerAmp)
Has a lock screen widget
Doesn't seem like too tall of an order but nothing I have found satisfies all of it. AMP+ is *almost* there but it doesn't use DSP Manager. Any thoughts?
Tried Apollo?
If im not mistaken you can use DSP with power amp , go under settings/audio/advanced/(in poweramp), uncheck dvc control. It should bypass the apps equalizer and DSP will function
Edit : don't think it does jack lol , just tried it but I couldn't see a difference with DSP on or off with the dvc unchecked , sorry for the useless post :beer:

I have tried Apollo and it isn't without it shortcomings (bad interface, horrible album art resolution) but you're right, it does meet my requirements. Maybe I'll give it another shot.
I do love PowerAmp but it performs REALLY poorly on either SlimBean or Franco.Kernel (not sure where the issue is).

I love noozy but its broke like a fat stripper.
If it didn't ALWAYS close randomly for me on 4.2 I'd definitely still be using it. It may work for others though
I found APKs for noozy and Apollo 1.1. Giving them a shot.

Ubermusic and noozy were great suggestions guys, thanks. Like I mentioned, I was able to find a copy of Apollo 1.1 which basically fixed the UI issues I had with 1.0. Right now scrobbling with SLS isn't working, might switch to ScrobbleDroid or try reinstalling. thx again.

Looking for a music player. Where have they all gone?

Im looking for a good premium music player, because all I ever use is Apollo and I want to branch out. BUt other than PowerAmp, WinAmp and Double Twist I can't find any decent ones they all seem to be streaming services???
Anyone know of any hidden recommendations for music players that are good and polished??
If you are on sammy 4.3 rom, then nothing is best than the stock music player.
If on other, you can try jet audio.

Yea I am running 4.3. Didn't realize the sammy stock player got a bit of an update, ill give it another shot. And thanks for the recommendation!
If you are rooted I'd install viper sound mod. It isn't a music player but has tonnes of audio options and really will make your music rock

Exactly, with 'dolby pro logic ll music irs' in viper convolver and sound boost by hurricane sound boost tool- is just too (good) much ?.

I personally find PlayerPro the best... have tried just about all out there... but it's also a matter of taste and preference. Everyone is different. Can give it a try, though others recommended already are also good options.
I've been using player pro for years. Also use it in conjunction with viper. I try other players from time to time and keep coming back to player pro. Best thing about it? You have an issue, contact the dev. When I had an atrix I had a few issues with the software. Over a number of weeks I tested various fixes he sent me and he got it sorted. Very friendly guy.

Samsung Stock Music Player all the way! Use the viper sound mod if you want a boost in sound (or want to act like a sound techie!). If you want diversity, try ZPlayer (Windows Mobile styled music player), or Play Music (the best, gives a stock Android feeling)! Winamp is also very good!
