Best music & Video player app till samsung galaxy S?

Can anyone advise me on some of the best music & video player app one can use instead of the stock versions? If you consider design of the player apps and it's functions. Thank you. BTW, the stock player does not have a STOP button. Now that is lame.

Best video player I've used by far is Act 1 - my review here: http://www.theandroidappreviewer.com/app-reviews/act-1-video-player-app-review/

It's only recent, but Lithium is by far the best player I've used.
The interface is very professional with great gestural control, 4 widget sizes, automatic album art downloader, custom playlists, replacement lockscreen when music is playing, etc.
But I like it best for the interface. =)

Yeah I had a word with the dev and he said that he may come up with a paypal version but he does not want to right now 'coz of licensing issues.
He said and I quote.
Regarding Paypal, I didn't yet create an account. But then you need to manage the release of updates (need a license key etc). Which might require quite some DEV.
But will think about it in the long term.
Thks again for the support.
Rgds,

mVideoPlayer for movies/videos
Music Player Pro for Music
Music Mod for Music widget

There is no player that does PROPER gapless playback for mp3...
Even .ogg and .flac files all produce a statick click when the next track begins. Is this a 'feature' of the Galaxy in general?

I totally agree!! I love Lithium. I'm trying this new one now called "ttpod" which downloads lyrics and lets you display them over top of all apps. Get a copy and turn off karoke mode if the lyrics over top annoy you . Best movie player I would say is mVideoplayer . I just havn't found anything else like it (paid or otherwise)

Have you tried Lithium ? settings for it but I really couldn't care about gapless play

I've just tried mvideoplayer without success, but I still can't seem to find a (free) video player that will play (or even acknowledge) my .mpg videos!
I'm not interested in subtitles or any other format apart from .mpg
Any suggestions?

Maybe winamp or realplayer?

For audio either winamp or power amp for video its either the stock player from SGS or mVideo player, I didnt include rockplayer on the list as it has issues with a lo of my HD anime files.

Did you actually read my question EarlZ ?

The best music player has to be powerAMP. And the best video player is in my opinion the stock player, it's slick and clean and plays many kind of videofiles flawlessly like MKV.

Personally I think the stock music player is great. Equaliser, effects, and the disc view is pretty cool. As well as controls on the lockscreen (only when using glass lock) and app drawer.
Have yet to see a 3rd party one that makes me want to switch.
For video mVideoPlayer is my favourite. It lacks the 5.1 sound option from the stock player though.

I have yet to find a music player that can sort by album artist (not artist) and provides an output selection of bluetooth or phone.
Really frustrating that such basic features don't exist.

[APP] Google honeycomb music player and MIUI music player

Here are the two music players some members would like as an alternative to the stock music player.
Google honeycomb android player looks pretty awesome in landscape mode.
Miui player supports lyrics downloading (.lrc support) which displays music in-app.
The miui player is pulled from my x10 mini pro phone, you guys may like to see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1010394 for alternative mods.
Tell me if it installs fine, because it runs well for me.

will try it..

Looks like ace users not that big on music! took 180+ views to have someone interested.

Not really, i am really big oon music, have been looking for the honeycomb player for looong time , but i just saw the thread

I'm gonna test it on my Ace, I love honeycomb music player
EDIT: Google music is works fine. Yeah, it's beautiful, but a little bit laggy. MIUI player works too...

Both work fine....no lags for me....thanks for the share..

Wow this is good! Thanks man!
I'll try to d/l this and compare to PlayerPro. Really like the look of this MIUI Music but still doubt the EQ feature on this thing.
Anyone have tried?

Hey thanx a lot man, I have replaced the stock music app with this honeycomb

Hey consegregate
Thank you for sharing the apps ... I tried the honeycomb music apk works nice.. however could not locate the equilizer on the app... this is something which i like on the stock app... any idea if i can put equilizer to honeycomb app too.. would be great.
Tried MIUI app too... same... could not locate the equilizer on app... ... need this for my music player...

I've been using the Google Music App for a while with the Music Beta service, works really well.

You could download "equalizer" on your phone if you are on gingerbread.

Will try.
Though currently on ubermusic beta after poweramp and playerpro.

miui music

I had a little time, so I decided to throw together a themed version of the miui music player. Its my favorite music player out of all the ones Ive tried. Also, I tried to make it go along with the ICS theme.
You should be able to just install as normal

Looks great...thanks

Nice thx

this is just a themed version of the music player?
can you view lyrics from the tags in this player??

Yeah, its still the miui player, and the lyrics worked fine for me. Assuming youre talking about the .lrc files that end up in /sdcard/miui/music/lyric.
Although I dont recommend letting this music player download album covers or lyrics for you, because in my experience its wrong roughly 12 times out of 10

Does this have the working equalizer in it?

CM9 music player

I ran into an interesting article that can pertain to a number of you who want a good music app.
Cyanogenmod 9 music app is available for download. Only for ICS devices

Thanks!

Apparently it doesn't support Google Music, which sucks. Can't really see the use in this for me if it doesn't support that. :/

My issues with the stock player with google music:
- status bar disappears in Landscape: WHY? Thats so stupid
- Landscape mode is annoying to use, i want a listing of my music, not cover art. It should have view options. I want my landscape artist mode to show this:
| album art | Artist
| album art | Artist 2
But, I cant use a different player, since Google hasn't released APIs for Google Music, so no other player will be able to support it.

I would still recommend MIUI Music over this. Much better UI.

Don't forget it is in development! This is an early beta I think, many features will probably be added...

I'm tired of using Apollo player on AOSP-based roms so I was wondering what version of the Android Music Player would work best with Slim ICS?
And is it possible to make the widget for the Apollo music black instead of white?

Look under "Update Me"
There is an option, under Apps to download the stock Android Music Player. Personally, I am using PowerAmp.
