I'm looking for a music app that does the following:
plays music from a folder, without having to create a playlist.
resumes playback from the track position on restarts.
supports shuffle all/repeat all tracks from a folder.
I used to use Just Playlists, but after upgrading to the latest OTA and rooting with unrevoked3, it no longer resumes at the track position the app exited from.
Astro beta player spikes CPU usage to over 80% (according to watchdog lite).
Mort player does not resume track position reliably.
Most of the other ones I've tested from the market fail at the resume track position function.
Any other app suggestions?
Mixzing. I love it.

+1 Though what you describe sounds like some old-school pTunes from the PalmOS days! MixZing is probably the closest you'll get that I know of.
mixzing does not do play from folder (must use playlists), and does not do resume track position on restart.

Guess I'm not sure what you're saying here. I use mixzing and don't use playlists.
i have several folders of music that I play, and do not want them intermixed on playback. Mixzing can play your entire library, by album, by artist, or by playlist. If I only want to play... say... a folder of trance mixes, I must create a playlist to just play that folder.
Mixzing also does not restart the track from the last played position when exiting and then restarting.
Unsure about the resuming of the track, but I use one called Lithium Player. It has some options to allow you to change the color scheme of the widget and allows you to set which folder you want it to play from along with all the other features your looking for I believe. Check it out, might do what your looking for.
The newest mortplayer. Thank me later.

uhm.... reread my first post.
"Mort player does not resume track position reliably."
I already have the latest version of mortplayer, mortplayer for ebooks, and the mortplayer widget installed. While I loved the winmo version of it, the android version lacks features that were present in the winmo version, such as
"resumes playback from the track position on restarts."
you can test this out if you want. Play a track on mortplayer. Then pause it. Reboot your phone or kill the mortplayer process/task. Open mortplayer. It will open to the track you were playing, but will have moved the slider back to 0:00.
Just Playlists did this fine, but now I have lost that functionality after going to froyo and rooting with unrevoked3. I have already emailed the developer, but he could not isolate the issue, so I'm looking for alternatives.
I'd like to see some suggestions too. I was using Mortplayer, but if you leave it paused for too long it forgets your track position and starts it over. Besides this, it also seems to be bugging out my alarm clock periodically.
Stock player does not support BT fwd and rwd buttons? Lame.
Can anyone suggest a music player that supports BT controls, remembers track position, and is just generally a good music player?

I play music by genre when using mixzing. All of my music is properly tagged by genre so if I select the hip hop folder in 'genre' all I have to do is long press hip hop and a menu pops up with 'play' as an option. I select play and it will play all of that particular genre. The paid version of mixzing also lets you edit tags and comes with a 10 band EQ.

I've been looking for the exact same thing. Player Pro is the best I've found so far. The resume is not 100% reliable, but it tends to keep the position after reboots (though I don't really reboot often enough in the middle of podcasts, etc to say this with any authority). Adding a bookmark feature would help. It's very good, folder-wise, I think, though the auto-detecting of folders (there's no manual refresh) can be frustrating when trying to listen to something just downloaded. Also, it's pretty good looking. Definitely shows a lot of promise.

Incorrect. I use MixZing everyday when I walk to work and it certainly does pick up where you left off in the track. I just even check it now - literally holding the phone, clicking the widget, it opened the last song I was listening to and there it is - it's still paused at 3:34 - and I've even rebooted my phone several times today b/c I've been flashing themes.

I'll vouch for that as well.
Also, the developers are quick to respond to questions.
Cubed is the best one I've ever seen. Its free on the market.

Meridian supports bt controls.
Cubed looks nice but I have trouble navigating around, its confusing.
Music Player Pro Haaaaannnndddss down the BEST!!!!
You def.ly should try out Player Pro AKA Music Player pro. This is one of the best music App available... It got all the option you listed plus you can choose 4 different skin for the player including a WMP...
Mixzinger
I just tried several times on Mixzinger and it does not resume playback from where it was left off. I just can't believe that there isn't a music player out there that can pull off this most basic function.
MusicMod is a pretty legit app, its froyo only though

Regarding music player, I just got used to using Google Music on GN, but with GS3, I have come to like Sammy Music Player
I love the Music Square, once I figured the music needed to be on the phone, and I needed to reload the music.
BUt I like to use genres when making playlists. I don't see them. are they there , is there a way to do it
I know there are tons of music players out there. But this gets lots of great reviews, the equalizer works etc
Is there one that MOST people agree is in the top 1 0r 2 Or is this one now one of those
Thank You
You can setup your tabs in settings. There's a genre tab in there somewhere.

Wow do I feel like a fool
Ill try 2 for 2....for song search, is the only option to drag the slider thru the alphabet?
As far as tagging I see it does that. But album art, how do I get that
I know the other players get it...but
1. Do they keep it? Something I read led me to believe it was just temporary
I am speaking of PowerAmp and PlayerPro. Maybe even WinAmp
All I want is:
Ability to set playlists with genres
Ability to get tags PLUS album art
A decent EQ
Possibly music AND video in one with Video opening full screen
Believe it or not the reviews are right. Samsung did a good job
It can do #1, after u pointed it out.
It can do number 2, waiting on the ART answer
It is said by reviewers to have an awesome EQ
It doesnt play video. But I can use the Video player and It opens FULKY
Doubletwist, Playerpro do not open fully
Thanks Again
Eric.
Can't find this anywhere else, but I'm unable to queue music in the stock music player.
Is this possible, as it is in every other music player I've ever seen?

Nope. It should depend on the Touchwiz framework to run.

There's something called "schnellstartliste" in german. If you long press a song you can add it to that. If you select that from playlists, which should be the first entry, it acts as queue. Maybe that's what you are looking for

This works for individual tracks, but you can't queue an album in the 'quick list'.
You get the option to add to a list and the 'quick list' isn't an option....

you can try poweramp theres a trail version on google play store, its pretty good and has loadsa options, used a couple of different players already and i find poweramp to be the best
I'm using 'cubed'. Good music player but not been tested on the s3 yet, hence can't create playlists.
Can queue tracks and albums though, so not too bad.
I just really liked the stock player and am a bit puzzled why you can't queue stuff properly. It's a deal breaker for me.

Hello!
Though I have HTC phones for 2 years, I never used them for music play.
I bought the Stereoclip yeaterday and I am ''obliged'' to use the HOX to stream music as my cowon J3 BT volume is too low and crappy.
Now to focus on the question here, is there any way to play songs per folder?
I always divide my songs by genre in folders like ''Trance'' ''Rock'' ''80s''...
Ok the HTC music player can play by genre but unfortunetly my mp3s are nothing but well ID3taged + I don't want to put 500 songs in a genre.
So please how can I play by folder?
Any modified htc music app for that purpose?

I would create your own playlists with the Names of the genres you are using.
You can also add sources from DropBox etc this could be a good idea if you want to keep the space on your device free for apps etc.
To do this, goto your music play, click the "Settings" top right corner and click "Add Music source"
Hope this helps my friend.

I had the same question like you. I Gave up and installed PowerAMP...
i use a program called. music folder player

Forget the dropbox thingy with our very limited 3G network in Lebanon (20 to 100mb per month), or else I would have used Tuneinradio in my car all the time
I think I will install a 3rd party app though I would have preffered to do it with the HTC music app

Okay, heres three options and I can't think of any other way for you to do it, I hope this is helpful.
1 - Obviously you could use another music player, such as WinAmp.
2 - Sort your music into the folders you want, get a file explorer (I Use ESFileExplorer) go on that, navigate to the folder, long press and then click "Music" that folder will then be loaded by itself into the music, Long winded I know but you can still use the stock app.
3 - Create playlists and just name the playlists by the folder.
2 is probably your best bet !
Thanks dude!
I will try playlist to begin with, if it's a pain in the as* I will install a good 3rd party app.
Btw which one is the best (music quality) and has lockscreen controls?

No worries mate
Tbh never used a third party music player, as in my opinion they are never as loud or clear as the stock. Perhaps that could be sorted if you know what to do with an equaliser, but I don't haha.
Couple of Suggestions that I know are good music players:
DoubleTwist - GirlFriend uses this, its free, very smart and sleek looking, and has many functions. Including the lock screen control you asked for. I'd take a look at this.
Player Pro - Looks very capable but never had an experience with it.
Also
WinAmp - Has been around for long time, before android even existed as it was a PC music player, hense the "Win" for "Windows"
I had a good look at PlayerPro, this could be a brilliant option for you, its got everything you've previously mentioned, playing by folder, lock screen controls. etc etc
Hi mate,
here's what I did on my HTC Desire X. You create a folder with a specific name where you put all your music and then in the Music app on HTC Android, you Search for that folder. It then shows up under Albums and you are able to play only the tracks contained in that Album/folder. For the folder names, they have to be somewhat unique, if you have a lot of music on your phone because otherwise it's gonna getm mixed up.
Hope it helps!
Since Sense 4+ we can use folders play in the HTC Music app
I just found an easy solution to the problem.
1. Organize all your songs on your phone under folders as you like
2. Connect your phone to a PC
3. Open Windows Media Player
4. Select all songs from one folder (on the phone) and add to Windows Media Player Playlist
5. Rename Playlist according to your preference
6. Save the playlist
7. Copy the playlist from your music folder on your PC and paste it on your phone in the Music folder
8. The playlist will now be available on your stock music player
Hello all,
I am using my default music player app in the car, and what i would like to work are the track info's which should appear in my bluetooth screen, now it only shows: " NO TITLE, NO ARTIST " with every song.
My friend has a Note II which does seem to work fine, it shows the title, artist and playtime on my screen.
Is there any music player that also sends all the things to my bluetooth radio ?
(i've already tried Winamp and PowerAMP but no succes.)
Thanks
This might not necessarily mean theres any errors, it just could be that your music has no ID3 tags.
This is what holds the information per track, such as Title and Artist as you say.

Hi, Did you send the song to each other through bluetooth? Or download from the EXACT same source?
If not, this could still be the case. ID3 tags can be applied or removed easily. One of the copies of your song may have the tags, the other may not.
But anyhoo, I tried

Hi guys..
I'm looking for a way to control my music player.
Specifically the ability to fast forward/rewind within a song track... (or even better if it can do track-bar scrubbing) from my watch.
I've been searching around for apps and i couldn't find any with such functionality so far.. Anyone here have any ideas? maybe some tasker gurus...?
Thanks!
other than the skip forward or back songs?

Yup. I know there are quite a number of wear apps that support skipping tracks and adjusting volume..
I'm looking for a way to "rewind" or "fast forward" to a specific part of a song..
Any ideas?

If you use poweramp you could try poweramp remote 4 android wear. It let you browse your artists, albums and songs on your watch and than play them on your phone
