Best Music App??

While trying to get my music on my GS2, I found the easiest way was through the doubletwist player with Airsync. Seems to be a good player. Was using Google music, but that streams abd uses up my data.
What is your favorite music player???

The stock one works fine, had a few others but none stick out for me.

Been using winamp for about a day now. On my computer iTunes manages all my music so I wanted a music player that could sync with iTunes. Winamp does that fine and I like the layout of the player but it has one rather large inconvenience for me: the playlists don't sync. I went into the settings, specified that it sync all my playlists and specified I wanted them on H:\ (my SD card), but nothing :/

I really like Google music. And just so you know, you can save all the to the phone with one press of a button so it doesn't use the data . You can undo it just as easy.

Was on power Amp now I'm using player pro

I really like poweramp. You can really customize all you want, but for the people who have lots of music that cant fit it all in their phone I guess winamp is good.

Interesting.....when you do that doesn't it use up your storage space on the phone, being that it is downloaded to the device storage and also does it not use the data to to download it to the phone?

Google music works like this. It stream music from your library to your android device. If you lose connection it can stream past played songs that it has saved. So yes it uses storage, and yes it uses data. But it doesn't use much storage.

I was liking stock for a while, but then Raycaster3 told me about PowerAmp, yes you have to pay for it but its by far gives you the most options and great sound quality. I did a test also with it to see how it sounds compared to the stock 5.1 sound. And it sounded the same if not better. Then you mix PowerAmp with a nice set of SkullCandy in ear headphones and your golden. I dont mean anything too expensive either I just went with the $29 ones because they also come with a mic. They are amazing. Oh I guess I also use Google Music because I have 40gigs of music stored in the Google Music Cloud.

Not to brag...but been a long time PowerAmp Pro user since my Nexus One days, and used with my Monster Turbine Gold Ear Buds....nothing short of awesomeness...PS....spent the last two days walking the carpets at the CES Las Vegas extravaganza and and I listened to no less than a dozen competing Ear Bud companies. The Monster Turbines won hands down for purest, smoothest, most pleasing sound quality, IMHO. Oh....I did get to demo a new Headset I saw featured on Fox and Friends before my first trip to the show a couple of days ago. My Bose QC15 noise canceling over the ears headphones got knocked of by a new company I first heard about at the show. ZIK Parrot phones. They work wired as well as Bluetooth wireless. Sound was great but the added features of hand gestures to control volume and track changes was/ is the way of the future. Instead of dealing with unplugging the phones to pause, simply remove from your ears and the music comes to a stop. Put them back on and it starts back where you left off. No price on these since they are not yet released to the public.
But don't even get me going on the best of the event....LG's 55" OLED 3D TV. Will knock anyone's socks off...period, guaranteed, and I will bet the farm on this statement. Thickness = to 3 credit cards stacked!!! Sorry for the slight thread drift, BTW....

Just spent an hour comparing. Yes, I downloaded the much needed DSP pack. PowerAMP WINS, IMHO, hands down. Give it a fair try to compare all aspects. Going thru the menu more preferences is extremely important too.

My 3 favorites in order:
1. ZPlayer - I really love the Zune player on Mango and this is a very good clone of it. It has integrated Shoutcast, a nice UI, a very nice lock screen controls that displays picture of whatever artist is playing as the lockscreen background, artist bio, widgets, equalizer and more. It's missing a few features, such as better playlist creation, but it's a very sexy and stylish player.
2. PowerAmp - The most complete player on the market. Has just about everything I mentioned ZPlayer has (minus Shoutcast and artist bio), in addition to good playlist management. Only cons, is it costs $, doesn't have automatic mixing like the Google player, and no streaming from Google or Amazon. Still just about the best player on the market. Only reason I put Zplayer higher is because I prefer the Zune player look of Zplayer, but that's totally personal preference.
3. Google Music - Great player, but a few things are holding it back. If I have music stored locally, when it syncs with Google it will duplicate the music, so for example I have two Nine Inch Nail artists in Google Music. I wish it would not display the music stored on Google if it already resides locally. Also will always stream by default, even if song is stored locally. Again, they need to make it so that it looks to see if song is stored locally and play that instead of reverting to streaming everything. Automatic mixing only available for streamed music (FYI, when I mention automatic mixing, I'm referring to the feature that is similar to Genius on apple devices - both iTunes on iPhone and Zune on WP7 offer this feature for music stored locally, Google player does not). Interface is a bit clunky.
Those are my personal 3 favorites. If I could find one that marries the UI of ZPlayer, with the features of PowerAmp and streaming capabilities of Google Music, it would be perfect.

Thanks,
Very informative. I loved Google Music, but with Tmobile throttling, not feasable. Is there a hack to get around the throttling?

Look for a thread in the General section. Use Throttling for a search. You will find it Read the thread and specifically go here.
https://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=10151082945165054
This was referenced in the thread and goes into more detail.
I don't know how long this is going to work, but I have tested this myself and it does indeed keep yopu separated from T-Mobiles grasp on your data usage. I have the feeling this won't last long, based on too many people talking in the open.
EDIT..many of the Roms are also including hacks that help the throttling issue, but not like this which all together bypasses the counting.

For me it's really a two way tie. Poweramp and miui music.

What is the best music app?

So there are several different music streaming services out there, who in essence have the same music and pricing structure.
What I am asking is which has the best performing app (not service) on Android 4?

My vote is Deezer as I use it daily on my Desire and it is quite good but not perfect.
Rdio looks like a very well developed app, whereas Spotify has several negative reviews.
Opinions?

I love turntable.fm when it works lol.
And I like soundcloud as well.

Normally I use Sony music Unlimited because of the sheer number of albums available unfortunately it isn't available officially for the nexus and the side load crashes.
I've fallen back to Pandora, tune in and rdio

MortPlayer is free and my new favorite that has more advanced features is PowerAmp

Most of the time I use Google Play Music since I've got over 1k songs already up, and they let you have a max of 20k songs. I can't imagine being able to find 20k songs that I actually like. No syncing across my computer/phone/tablet, just upload the files once into Google Play Music and then stream it anywhere.
The rest of the time I use Pandora.

So is Google Play Music the online store to rival iTunes that is only available in the US? Or is it the Android "Music" app to play local MP3s?
Pandora is interesting but also only in the US...!

Agreed. Our N7 is our first tablet, and first Android device and I immediately liked the 20,000 song storage ability.
Love xda, getting some great ideas from just browsing around here. :good:

Google Play Music lets you store songs you own, in the "Google Cloud", allowing you to play your songs from your phone/tablet/pc. You literally can upload all your mp3s into it - no questions asked.
You can also play music locally with it. And then the Google Play store also has music you can purchase which is added to your collection.
:good:

How do i store music in the cloud? I have like 10 gigs of music on my phone I wanna share at least some with my nexus 7.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

I know Deezer lets you do the same as Play Music. You can upload to the "My MP3s" section of your Deezer account and stream them through the app.
It works quite well, but in Offline Mode obviously only the albums you download are available not any of the My MP3s tracks.
Also one flaw of Deezer is you cannot sync a single track for Offline playback, only full Albums.

My favorites in favorite order:
N7
Google Music
Cubed
Jango
I do own Poweramp, but like N7 better. I find Jango much nicer than Pandora. Cubed is just visually cool. I use Google Music on my PC at work 90% of the day.
edit:: sorry, I missed the "streaming" comment. Therefore GM and Jango only.

For playing music, the answer is simple - Neutron. It is amazing. What's even better is that you can get a special version for Tegra devices. Here's a link:

You want the NeutronMP_64.apk. If you are an audiophile like me, then you will be in heaven. Grab a good pair of headphones (NuForce is an amazing brand that not many people know about) and enjoy!!

i think the only way to upload is to install the music manager on your pc. you'll then select the folders you want it to upload.

NeutonMP is awesome for its sound quality , but I hate its interface. I love n7 player interface but their sound quality isnt as awesome as neutonMP.

I'd bought both Poweramp and N7 and switch between them. Using Poweramp more and more. Like the album art display much better, more sound adjustments (not that it matters much on a Nexus 7). N7 starting losing album art (or not finding it), so it's not getting used much.

Music Player with a2dp, id3 tag, and folder selection support

On the hunt for a music player if it exists, as far as I know only the stock music app and play music appear to show support for the id3 tags streaming via Bluetooth.
Now the only app I've really come across with good folder selection is still poweramp, but it appears poweramp doesn't play too well with a2dp as it takes a a few button fidgets to get the player to start playing when connected to Bluetooth.
So at the moment it's trading one feature for the other, id3 tags and somewhat normal music streaming with the stock players, but no folder support so I'm playing everything on my phone, ringtones, notification sounds and music.
Poweramp works well if I'm just using headphones as I can select just my music folder on my extsd. But the lack in id3 tags and initialization of music through a2dp are horrible, but not unbearable.

Mort Player should be the best bet. The close second is winamp (it costs you to have folder function).

Thanks I'm going to look into that as I've been using PowerAmp and realized it has the selective folder function but still no bt id3 tags.

what Poweramp version do you use ?

Hello all, i was about to start a similar thread on another subforum...
I am looking for a player capable of almost everything you discussed here.
i have tried several but none has came close to what i need :
- Play mp4 (as video or audio -> vlc play it)
- Edit tags directly on the app (comments field in particular)
- display name of the artist - song name on the video during the playback (i am surprise how almost every player only show song name)
- SD Card
- If possible be able to continue to play even if close the book cover of my galaxy tab s
- good bluetooth integration
i can do without the last two but the others are really needed.
thanks for the heads up

Music control from watch

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

Music app?

What music app are you guys gals using to listen to your downloaded songs?
I'm trying most of the ones on XDA Android apps forums, Pulsar, wave, minmia.
VLC isn't working right, lagging hugely and redrawing incorrectly.
No winamp for Android?

Thank you for your suggestion, works very well, and it has the "delete" song from library option, double tap for favorite is nice.

There actually used to be a WinAmp for Android. It was nothing like the Windows app. But anyways, I've used every music player out there and there is only 1 that does everything I want it to. PowerAmp. It's only a couple of dollars for the full version but to me, it's totality worth it.

Before I used spotify and Google music I used PowerAmp as well. I'm pretty sure you can even use the Google music app for local music.

I am using the Sony one (Music was walkman), IMO one of the better, has a nice interface

I have been using Poweramp full version for years. The sound quality is superior when compared to Google Play Music. I have to use Play Music for my subscription but I use Poweramp for my side-loaded and purchased music.

Loaded Poweramp again, the delete function is too embedded.. is there a setting to make it more tap and hold to delete?
And what are the odds this would happen?!

OK has anyone else used pi music player? How can I set Poweramp to play songs as detailed and clear?

Esira with viper4android and dolby all the way !!!!
