[Q] Beside stock music player which one should I choose?

Hi folks,
I'm interested at using a different music player since the stock music player doesn't give me much in terms of features.
I've had PowerAMP (Paid) problem with is that every time I get an SMS message the music cuts out to play the sounds in my headphone and then the music blares out on the out speaker and then once the inbound sms sound is done it's plays back into the headphones.
I've had DoubleTwist similar type of problem but not as bad and unless you paid attention you wouldn't notice. BUT it's a huge memory HOG while running and playing music is eats about 55mb in the memory and I can't send the APP to SD.
What other alternatives do I have? I was considering PlayerPro but I really am trying not to have to pay for an APP.
I was looking at Winamp which I love but I would need their PRO version which again is a bummer cause I really am trying not to buy it.
Any suggestion?
Cheers.

Nice. Well after running for a while I was happy to see that cpu usage and memory usage weren't crazy. Nice app.

Does it "crossfade" ??

I guess it does

TTPod. Unfortunately the latest version is Chinese only, but someone has made an unofficial translation. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1551201
On a sidenote: does anyone know a musicplayer that supports lockscreen controls on ICS, besides the stock player? I tried Cloudskipper, ZPlayer, ÜberMusic, WinAmp, Poweramp, the MIUI player and TTPod, but none supports it afaik.

I like MIUI's music player. I think it's available to non-MIUI users. Just google it.

Have you gone through all the settings in PowerAMP? There are several pages of settings for how notifications work while music is playing, how headphones work with music/notifications/plugin/etc, and more. Pretty sure that you can configure things the way you want if you spend some time in the settings pages.
PowerAMP 2.x is working great on my Xperia Pro (MK16a), with just the slightest dimming of the music to play are very dim notification alert, and then going back to normal volume, without interrupting the music nor changing which speakers the music comes out of.

Pheonix,
I've been through all the options in PowerAMP each time a notification will come on while music is playing (depending on the settings) it's on. Music will either fade or cut out. The notification will play but the MUSIC will resume on the external speaker for about 3seconds before switching back to Internal.
It's been doing that ever since I got it and with every music playing I've tried. I'm running on stock .62 rooted and there's no customization that's been done.
Now I've actually loaded the MIUI Music player back on my phone and actually that solved my problem. So this leads me in the direction that some of the music player interfere to an extent with the notification/speaker process.
Cheers.

Actually, I just noticed this issue last night while listening to music and getting texts from the wife. This didn't happen before.
I'm fairly certain that it's a new bug, as the 1.x versions never had this problem, and the early 2.0.x versions didn't either.
I'll go through my backups and see if I can find a version that doesn't have this issue.
Have you reported this to the PowerAMP devs?

Have you tired UBERMUSIC..?????
Its awsome....!!!!!

[Q] Music stops when app switching.

I've asked this question before but there were no replies.... I hope this time I'll get some pointers and re-phrase my question better.
I'm using the GSM Galaxy Nexus 4.1.1
Sometimes my music stops playing when switching apps or pressing the home button to return to the home screen, it doesn't happen all the time, but very troublesome when it does. It happens usually just right after unlocking the phone from sleep. I'm using the stock music player
I've noticed that this issued happened to Android phones as well, I tried to update the stock music app, and switched kernels. I don't know what else I can do. I don't recall encountering this problem back in 4.0.4.
Any help would be appreciated

Give us a bit more info:
1. What music app are you using? If it's an app that can both play local media files and stream, which are you doing?
2. Are you playing your music through headphones, the internal speaker, or Bluetooth?
3. If headphones, have you tried other headphones? If Bluetooth, how far away are the devices?
4. Which ROM and Kernel are you using?

I said I'm using the stock music player, Play Music.
I'm playing music through headphones.
I am sure that this problem is not because of the headphones
I'm using the stock 4.1.1 ROM JRO03C. This problem happend on both the stock kernel and Franco Milestone 5

Are you running any other memory hungry apps? Sounds like your music player is getting killed because the memory is needed for something else.

I've had this happen in two instances, so hopefully my personal experience will help you.
The first time, it ended up being a faulty cord in my Nokia Purity HD headphones, I bought a new cord and that fixed my issues.
The second time it was because I was attempting to play music, that I had downloaded in Spotify, but since I was in a crappy coverage area, it would pause the music every time I lost a data connection, even though the music was stored locally. Switching Spotify to offline mode fixed it, so you might try switching to offline only mode in Play Music.
Even if you don't think it's your headphones (for example, you tried them on a PC and they worked), you have to remember that phones have many more contacts inside the headphone jack, used for the media controls in headsets (headphones with buttons and mics), so if there is a short in your headphones that makes the phone think you're pressing the "Play/Pause" button, it wouldn't show in your PC, because most if not all PCs lack this functionality.

Google music switches to speaker after a few songs

I have a rooted S III with JB. Lately, after a few songs, Google Music switches from playing out of my headphones to playing out of the speaker. It never does this in the middle of a song, it always happens between songs (listening to song in my headphones, song ends, next song plays out of speakers).
Does anyone else have this problem and/or does anyone know a solution?

I've had this happen also, are you on stock rom or a custom rom with mods?

I'm using the Root66 version of the stock JB rom, I think everything is stock, it's just rooted.

Never had it happen when just stock ROM without any mods. That's weird though. Why not use the stock music player? Its a whole bunch better.

Because I buy music on play music and any music I put on any of my computers automatically shows up on my phone

That sucks. I'm not sure how that all works, hopefully someone can give you helpful advice.

I have an unrooted GS3, and I get the same issue showing up. My other GS3 has a similar issue, in that a song will be playing, and after the 2nd, 3rd, 4th or even 5th song, the whole process seems to stall out, and I have to go to the App manager, and close out the app completely. This is a huge annoyance.
Funning, the two issues revolve around the Google Music player, which I love. I use it on my other phones (GS2, G2X, MT4G), and have no issues. Just my GS3s.

i had this problem as well with the output switching to the speakers every other song when my headphones were plugged in while using google play. i am on an unrooted GS3. it only started happening on monday after i got a device upgrade notice.
i read in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1989081&page=2 (for a diff carrier i know, but it worked) to try going to application manager and uninstalling google play updates. i have not had the speaker problem since. i think there is just a buggy update or something.
hopefully this helps some of you until they can update the update.

[Q] Jelly Bean Stock Music Player Bug

Hi guys. I'm using a stock unrooted One X. It has been running jelly bean since december but a bug came up since a few weeks ago. When I play a song on the stock music player, it would play for less than 10 seconds then it would fast forward or skip to the next song and the bug would happen all over again. This has gotten to the point where its impossible for me to listen to music without feeling very annoyed. This problem doesn't seem to occur when I play the music through the speaker so I'm guessing Beats Audio is causing this. Just a guess though. Anyway I've tried a bunch of things to solve the problem but nothing seems to work. Any help would be appreciated.

Have you tried to clear data of music app ?

Yes I did. I also installed Poweramp and the problem happens there too.
The weird thing about this bug is that it doesn't happen every time. I was listening to music for about 2 hours today and everything was fine. But I'm sure it will happen again.

Well, the only thing that's getting in my mind is to make factory reset.

did you try listening to music with beats audio turned off? that may help narrow down the problem...

[Q] Volume Problem (Kinda)

OK I've had my Nexus 7 for about a month now and have only started to use it for media. It really isn't an issue, but I would love it if someone found a solution.
Whenever I try and control the volume via BT headset, plug in headphone or the controls on the car. It pauses whatever is on the screen. The only two apps that I use is Google Play Music and MX Player. Outside of these two apps I have not tested it on anything else.
If someone can help me with this problem, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks in advance!
