Best Music Player for N4? - Nexus 4 Themes and Apps

Which one do you use?

Moved from Google Play to Player pro to Winamp and now I've settled on Poweramp. I've seen some of my friends with a player called "noozy" that is very reminiscent of the Zune library software and I would love to try it out but I can't seem to find it online at all.

Google play , since its compatible with syncing play count s with iTunes by using isyncr.
If it wasn't for that I would use noozy or ZPlayer.

I use the stock Google Play Music (via WiFi), I've only got 1 MP3 on my phone which I use as an alarm and don't use it over Mobile data, I also use TuneIn Radio Pro to listen to radio (obviously) and podcasts.

I have Noozy on my phone, it was included in some audio mod I downloaded ([MOD] [N4] BEATS+XLOUDER! 4.2.1 [07/12/12] JB Louder Audio Improvement Patch) for my device - not sure what version/build it is, it just says Noozy Studio 3

I used Noozy now and its great but I have a problem. It shows my notifications and ringtones. How can I hide them?

Are there any third party music players that can access music that you upload to google for storage there?

Thanks a lot! Saved me a bit of searching

I'm looking for a music player that will let me make play list by genre from songs on my phone and my Wi-Drive and not the web. It seems all of the players are only for use with the web/cloud. Any recomendations?

No but I use Google Music to store my music. Then use Cloud music importer to import what I want onto my device, and use whatever music player to scan and play my selected stuff. I prefer Poweramp.

I actually use CloudAround. Since the Nexus 4's internal storage isn't all that big, I use several 50 GB Box accounts (that also come free with this phone) to upload all my music to. This allows me to have as much music as I'd like with my Nexus 4.
I used PowerAmp (with the Holo theme!) previously however. Its a fantastic music player if you don't want to use the cloud.

Is there a music player with dnla capabilities like the HTC one ?

I've never gotten Google Play to work with play count syncing with iSyncr, how did you get it to work?

Download the free app "simple last.FM scrobbler" and log in with your last.FM account then it should sync play counts after that .

The storage on the N4 is so small that I actually keep an old Galaxy S for music I have on my PC otherwise I just use streaming services like Pandora or Spotify.

[Q] Syncing iTunes with Nexus

I know there are threads about this but has anyone found a definitive way to sync their iTunes playlist with their Nexus?
Seems like another great advantage of MTP. DoubleTwist, Easy Phone Tunes Plus, and Media Monkey have not worked for me.
Google Music has synced my library for me. I even have it in the cloud!

I wish they would support Lossless and all would be well! I'm too much of a nazi about my music quality for Google Music to be effective for me.

Alternate apps for Google Music

Hi
I just got my Galaxy Nexus yesterday. I was going from a phone that had an sd card slot that I could put my music on. I figured I could live with the less hard disc space because I can stream my music from Google music.
That seems to work fine, but the music app is a little light on features. It's not horrible, but coming from Power Amp, it's a little basic.
Is there any other apps that can stream from google music, and have more features, like EQ and such.
Thanks
Wich app...do u need man

Google music still has a private API, so no other app can stream from it.

Ok, thanks for the replies
If you use iTunes too, try double twist. Features are alright and it syncs with your iTunes musics including the playlist that was great coming from the guy who had iPod touch. You can also sync it via wifi but that's extra 5 bucks...

Google play music has a EQ of sorts when playing a song tap the settings dots then sound effects. From there you get a 5 band EQ bass boost and #D expansion thing.
you can use different music managers with google music.... i.e. DSP manager, vodoo etc.

No apps stream from Google music. The api isn't avaolable. So your only option is the official app

I found Google Music to be very lacking. I uploaded all my music to Amazon and haven't looked back since. Best cloud player and music store for sure. Plus, if you buy just one album per year you get unlimited music storage free (no yearly fee)

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!!!!!!!!

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.

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?

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.

I've tried Poweramp in the past, but I think ended up liking DoubleTwist better personally.
For some reason there's something about the stock player and Apollo that bugs me - seems like it just works opposite how I'd expect certain controls to work.

one thing I noticed though is that when I tried to upgrade to kitkat (aosp), I could use it (was gone from the store - probably not compatible to kitkat).
GoneMAD music player if you are looking for extremely customizable music organization and UI. Not as many of Neutron's bells and whistles, but it does have Dashclock Widget integration.
for now i think poweramp is the best..

Google music just came to canada, I love it! Otherwise I used Songza for the longest time.
Another +1 for Google Music. I subscribe to Google Play Music All Access. Anything that isn't in the library, I'll upload from my computer. I keep all my playlists on my device.
I switched from Spotify when it Google Play Music All Access first came out. Unlike Spotify, which limits you to 3,333 tracks stored offline, you can store as much music as you can fit on your device. If I store all my playlists on my device I've got something like 50GB of music.
