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....
Playerpro , lots of features and lovely ui.

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.

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.

Hi,
I'm look for help to find an Android podcast with similar functions to Downcast from iOS side.
Downcast allows a video podcast to carry on playing as audio when I press the home button or press the power button.
I tried DoggCatcher, BeyondPod and Pocket Casts, all of them don't offer that function.
Another minor function I'd like to have is able to sweep left and right on screen to go back and forward with video.
I've looked through some threads, but can not find an Android app does the above.
Could somebody please suggest some apps for me to try?
Many thanks
I'm not on Gnote2 yet, but I use beyondpod and it does allow me to do video as audio with screen off. There's actually an option in the settings to "continue video play with screen off"
The only other podcast player I've used is Ratpoison. It's not nearly as cool as beyondpod, but it's free...so no harm checking it out
Sent from my SGH-T959V
I use this free one on Galaxy Note 2 :
play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bambuna.podcastaddict
Dog catcher does that. Press and hold then select play as audio.

Hello.
Just want to share some very good news - there's ain Play Store called "Poweramp Remote 4 Android Wear", and it works with Moto 360 like a charm. The app is paid, but it finally allows to use Moto 360 to control music as fully as Sony's SmartWatch 2 used to do.
WBR, Draco
first off, FINALLY THANK YOU.
second: few small things to make it perfect:
1. folder list
2. metadata is sometimes off, mostly pictures but sometimes I'll go to an artist and not see a song I know I have...if I find the another way the artist will show as same.
3. browsing on general should mirror poweramp...one of the reasons I will never switch away from poweramp is the way you can browse for a song: folders and artist then album.
there's one more annoyance that no one do anything about though and that's the ever present default notification that comes first when you play music . Once you can get this stuff working this will be as good as the app in SW2...really missed that app
Hi.
I'm not the developer of this app, I've just posted here about it You can contact developer via Play Store. As for the default music notification, it drives me mad also, but apparently there's nothing to be done yet - Android Wear is sort of a parody on the real Android...
WBR, Draco.
I looked at it but have been a supporter of the MusicBoss for Wear app. It can control pretty much any app that controls volume and the dev is responsive to fixes! I have been following the dev since the Kickstarter Pebble. So he is a user as well.

Already there
I have also Music Boss (and on my pebble) but very huge difference, with Music Boss we can not browse Album, Artist, Title, and not setup for equalizer.
For Wear I use Stellio found before the Power Amp app (I have also Power Amp on my phone).

True, but I like to actually see what I am doing there on the phone, which is better to view the settings IMO. I have tried Stellio as well and is ok, but I gravitate back to MB for just playback and volume controls.
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?
Music boss is a nice one

I tried boss.. Apparently the fast forwarding function works only with very specific apps like audio books.. It doesn't work with normal music players.. I even emailed them and asked about it, no luck...
Is there any app other than google play music that can play songs stored in the watch?

As far as I know, the only other player that can do that is the Xperia Music app.

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
