Hi guys! I'm trying to turn my nexus 7 into a sweet music player/gps for my car. I have the gps figured out, but I'm still working on the music. I have a 32 gb flash drive and an otg cable. It is not rooted and I don't want to root it. I have tried the Nexus Media Importer, but the music player isn't that great. So my question is, does anybody know an app or a way that will play the music on my flash drive effectively? Or a way for google music or another player to recognize my drive so it could play the songs on it? Thanks!!
Id suggest uploading it all to Google music then making the songs you like the most offline.

Yeah, I have NMI, just the music player isn't really that intuitive, and hard to work. I'm trying to find an alternative to it, but if not, I'll end up using NMI. Basically I want to use my otg and USB with a music player already out there.

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.

Drag.
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...

An unofficial Google Music API has been out for some time.

What exactly are you missing/wanting?

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.

The Google music app has an equalizer! Just click on the 3dots in the upper right corner when you are in the play screen

CM9 music player is the answer if you're looking for a free option. Power Amp is the best paid option :thumbup:

It doesn't do Google music. But it looks nice for offline music.

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)

I've just uploaded all of my music to Google Music and play via the browser, or I mix it up with Pandora. For local playback I use VLC.
Foobar2000, I love all the options it has. It takes a bit to set up, but it's totally worth it in my opinion.

This. It didn't take long for me to setup, what all did you do? I just ticked convert to four channels and I was happy. Also made a custom search function.

I like making all my playlists, customizing the UI, and setting up my EQs.

I use Foobar2000 as well. One of the best players in my opinion. Definitely worth giving a shot.

I hate iTunes but use it because it syncs with TuneSync (which syncs my galaxy nexus and my tablet installed in my car when i get home)
I used foobar for a while but missed recently added playlist, and it was very hard for me to get used too.
I don't think this thread should belong in a Nexus forum. But to answer the question, Foobar2000. Second is Clementine.
*Another for foobar

Well actually I'm subscribed to rdio so I use that for both my laptop and my phone. Unlimited music and syncing for offline play. Have a collection of 860+ songs so its nice to have .

I almost always use iTunes at home. I use Google Music when away from home.

Yep! Same here. I have all of my songs on iTunes and all my music on iTunes is automatically updated to Google Music. Best of both worlds.
I use Windows Media Player at home to listen to my local library. Pandora when I want to listen to something new. And I use Google Music when I'm on the go.
"Bye book!"
I have used Winamp for many years and love it
Its a breath of fresh air after using windows media player which i simply find hateful

I have been using Mediamonkey for some years. I hate itunes and Media monkey offers a large range of features. You have to pay for the Gold version though to use certain features.

This would really eliminate me from having to use my laptop. Can it be done?
Not sure. There's songs on my 7 that were on my skyrocket that I know I never put on the computer. Maybe it does in the background on WiFi

No. There's no service connect your phone to upload music to GM.
I'm trying to see if there is an app or music player that will let me control my music from my tablet with my phone, vice versa. My N7 is usually in the other room hooked up to the stereo and I would like to be able to skip songs, pause, and stop music with my phone, rather than running into the other room. Anything capable of doing this on WiFi or Bluetooth?

A little confused on how NMI works. Can any app just play whatever is on a flash drive mounted in NMI? Trying to convince myself to keep my 16GB
Thanks!

yes. except pics. for some reason, they wont open with an app like quickpic. But you can watch movies and listen to music via 3rd party apps
