Walkman app artist order - Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi there,
in the walkman app, is there any way of ordering artists that start with 'the' into an order similar to itunes. For example The Beatles are under T but i'd much rather they be under B, especially when a lot of music i have starts with 'the' !

I guess no one knows

i've asked this before as well. it's pretty stupid to file bands under "the", especially when you have a large music collection. not sure why it's like this.
for this reason, and lack of gapless playback, i ditched the walkman app. now using poweramp, haven't looked back. doesn't look as aesthetically pleasing but after trying so many different players i found this one to be the best.

What Music App are you using?

I was curious to see everyones music app of choice is? I've tried em all except winamp and slacker radio, but I think I'm gonna go with PlayerPro for a while....I love having the lockscreen widget back!!! (Missed that from using it on MIUI on my OG Evo) Anyways curious to see what everyones app of choice is!
None of the above - jetAudio Basic
I use Amazon MP3 which is not listed above.
Player pro. The gap less playback alone makes it worth using. Also the developer is friendly. We spent about a month fixing the blue tooth track display after I emailed him. I was very impressed at his level of support.

Apollo.. thats where its at
stock TW app. or google play music for my music on cloud.
I like the stock tw music player. Basic, but functional

doubletwist, which isn't listed.
I like the stock on the SIII simply because it has the Cover to Pause feature.
That feature has been awesome to me especially when driving and I have to pause a song, I never have to look at my phone.
I do still like Google Play Music App, gives me access to a bunch of songs that are streaming off my cloud.
If only there was an app that had Cover to pause feature and the ability to stream music off of our Google Music accounts... :cyclops:

I agree 100%, best music player out there imo
Google Music for me
I like doubleTwist since I'm able to sync it with my desktop version and transfer and manage songs just like iTunes.

JetAudio

Hi folks,
Anyone else try JetAudio app for music? I downloaded it today - had been using Poweramp up to this point but I have to say initial impressions is that the sound is very good from JetAudio.. Anyone else try it?
Cheers,
Mick
Jet audio is great, plenty of adjustments available via the equalizer, I'm really impressed.
I agree. It has plenty of features for a free app. Downside of course is battery life. But nonetheless, thank you for pointing me to it.

I think poweramp is best. The dvc is unbeatable and the ui is great and u can also change themes. In jetaudio the 20 band equalizer is sweet but the ui is boring and there aren't a lot of options. Also try player pro.

It's the best player that I test. I just need a player with a file browser ans userfriendly ui. Very nice app.
Sorry for my poor english

The only problem that I have found with Jet Audio and PowerAmp is that they won't detect FLAC files, which makes it pretty useless to use. I usually use Spotify but I do prefer some tracks in FLAC.

It says "It plays almost any type of digital music files you have (.wav, .mp3, .ogg, .flac, .m4a, .mpc, .tta, .wv, .ape, .mod, .spx and more)..." Not knowing what a FLAC is, I can't say if it actually does.
Just tried Jet, still like N7 Player better. More unique interface, let's you edit tags, replace album art with higher quality, sounds as good, better widgets. I bought Poweramp, but uninstalled, didn't like interface.

I really like the default samsung player. Its got the flawless notification/lockscreen integration and it recognizes all my music correctly. There's maybe two or three features that I look for in a player that this one has all I need. My only problem is that it chugs when I scroll through my music quickly (25gb of songs on a class 4 card will do that though, sadly). I've tried a whole bunch with fancy interfaces, but they always give me a reason to go back. For example, I tried xenoamp after the reccomendation above and I was really excited for it, seemed like it had a cool interface. But no shuffle all? And after I got past that, the rest of it felt like an alpha with a lot of features (like editting tags so I could fix all of the songs that it randomly didn't recognize) simply not working.

I really like the stock music player, but it's constantly losing my position in tracks when I pause... I listen to a lot of audiobooks, and if I pause mid-track, if I come back an hour or two later it's lost the position, starting the track over. If I wait more than an hour or two, it often forgets what book I'm even on, and will just show my library.
This is with absolute minimal use between, checking gmail once or twice and a text or two.
I use either Cloudskipper or Doubletwist, take your pick
I have used Mixzing for the past two years.

What's your preferred music player app?

Topic. I'm using the default one for the first time since I've been using Android. On my evo epic 4g and 4g touch I always used player pro but since owning the s3 I don't feel a need to use a after market one unless someone ports over the xperia music player with working widgets.

+1 for poweramp paid. I don't buy many applications but Poweramp was the one of the first i paid for. And I'm soo glad i did.:laugh:
I used the built in player for a few days, but I saw no means to retrieve the correct album art, and lol that annoys me when my music shows the wrong art, so I started using power amp paid version :good:
Now you guys wouldn't happen to be the developers of this app hmmmmm? lol

This kinda moves the original question into another area, but how do you keep the ring tones saved on your phone from being played via the music player? I'm at the point now that I do not save music on my phone. I just stream it from my cloud. Thanks.

Most music players allow you to select which folders to add to your music library. Although others scan the entire device for sound files.
I like the option of storing files local. Works great for subways and airplanes.

I've been playing around with Music Player (remix) lately. Its still fairly new on the Android platform and the dev has some bugs to iron out, but the menu system is incredible. Almost everything is accessible from swipes left, right, up. $5 is a bit steep, try out the demo you might just fall in love with it.

have you found a way to fetch the correct album art with the tw music app?

Music Player?

Hi all.
What app does everyone use for music? I have been using Google music. But I made a discovery today that almost gave me a brain aneurysm. It reconverts ALL my music to 256kbs mp3s even mp3s.... Even worse CBR.... I won't rant. But I want to stop using it. So what is everyone else using? I liked apollo but the whole album art download for me thing was annoying...
I use stock or nex player. Stock is quite nice in my opinion

I've been using a little folder-based player called Hikiplayer for about a year now. I don't like players trying to reorganize my music, download album art, force me to use playlists, or any crap like that so it's perfect for me.
