have you tried slacker?
I'm playing with it now... its weird, different. Their top stations are awful but I created a new station that was playing my kind of music.
The thing I loved about lastfm was their vast selection of music. They even knew about this local garage band around me. I guess time will tell if slacker is good, but I'm open to more suggestions

My favorite music app over and above all else is now AudioGalaxy. Check it out. It streams all the music from your home computer without you having to sync.
i like GrooveShark. its not free, but at 3usd a month, its not going to bankrupt me. you can cancel it anytime too, and you get to use playlists from other people(check out reddit, grooveshark playlists). you can see these on your computer and your phone, and mark favorites from them.
i'd check out the free version on your PC first, everything it can do, so can the mobile client.

HOW DID I NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS?
setting up when I get home today... wow, this would be my savior. I keep having to add/delete cds off of my sd card, this sounds like a much better solution.

I used Titanium backup to remove the stock music player and now my lockscreen music controls on CM7 and my headset music buttons work for AudioGalaxy without firing up another player. That used to happen to me. Sometimes I'd have 2 players play at the same time. Since AG is really the only mp3 player I need I uninstalled the other ones.
Another alternative is Grooveshark.

While I personally love grooveshark and pay for it to use the android app, the fact that such payment is required makes this a less than likeable alternative for many who are seeking something free like lastfm used to be.

The music player was always in the notification area when music is playing. Did they forget the music widget? I can just download another player from the market I'm just curious why there is no music widget.
So any recommended music players and ones with a widget.

Because, you already have easily accessible music controls in the notification bar, a widget is not needed.

I agree it sort of defeats the purpose, why have two things running to control one app? And BTW the lock screen music controls look sweet too. I'm loving this phone so far...

I come from a long list of HTC phones, so naturally I love the Sense music widget. It fills a 3x4 space and shows all the info you need. Of course unless someone mods it, we can't have it on the Epic 4G.
A good one I used for awhile too was an app called PowerAmp in the market. It also has an awesome widget.

I use a combo of sorts. I use DoubleTwist to sync my iTune playlist and I use Winamp to play the music. I do this because I have found that while DoubleTwist will sync playlist it will NOT create a play list and display it on the phone. The native music app will display the playlist but the songs are in reverse order. Winamp will display the play list that DoubleTwist synced and the songs will be in the correct order.
On a side note I have found that the Sony Walkman MP3 players have the best software for playing music. The sound is so much better compared to any other device that plays music.
Sorry to bring back an old thread, but here is a "stock" widget for the Epic 4G Touch that is on the Android Market. Says it is for the Galaxy S, but I can CONFIRM that it does indeed work on the Galaxy S2 Epic 4G Touch. Very simple, but it works very well with the stock music player.
Search Android Market for "Samsung Galaxy S music widget"
This is useful if you don't want to get another music player and need something for a lock screen replacement like Widgetlocker.
Hope that helps.

Nice one. I tried that app ages ago and it didn't work with gingerbread, working perfectly now though as the dev has updated it. My home screen has been crying out for a music widget since I left sense.

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.

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.
