Best music & Video player app till samsung galaxy S?

Can anyone advise me on some of the best music & video player app one can use instead of the stock versions? If you consider design of the player apps and it's functions. Thank you. BTW, the stock player does not have a STOP button. Now that is lame.

Best video player I've used by far is Act 1 - my review here: http://www.theandroidappreviewer.com/app-reviews/act-1-video-player-app-review/

It's only recent, but Lithium is by far the best player I've used.
The interface is very professional with great gestural control, 4 widget sizes, automatic album art downloader, custom playlists, replacement lockscreen when music is playing, etc.
But I like it best for the interface. =)

Yeah I had a word with the dev and he said that he may come up with a paypal version but he does not want to right now 'coz of licensing issues.
He said and I quote.
Regarding Paypal, I didn't yet create an account. But then you need to manage the release of updates (need a license key etc). Which might require quite some DEV.
But will think about it in the long term.
Thks again for the support.

mVideoPlayer for movies/videos
Music Player Pro for Music
Music Mod for Music widget

There is no player that does PROPER gapless playback for mp3...
Even .ogg and .flac files all produce a statick click when the next track begins. Is this a 'feature' of the Galaxy in general?

I totally agree!! I love Lithium. I'm trying this new one now called "ttpod" which downloads lyrics and lets you display them over top of all apps. Get a copy and turn off karoke mode if the lyrics over top annoy you . Best movie player I would say is mVideoplayer . I just havn't found anything else like it (paid or otherwise)

Have you tried Lithium ? settings for it but I really couldn't care about gapless play

I've just tried mvideoplayer without success, but I still can't seem to find a (free) video player that will play (or even acknowledge) my .mpg videos!
I'm not interested in subtitles or any other format apart from .mpg
Any suggestions?

Maybe winamp or realplayer?

For audio either winamp or power amp for video its either the stock player from SGS or mVideo player, I didnt include rockplayer on the list as it has issues with a lo of my HD anime files.

Did you actually read my question EarlZ ?

The best music player has to be powerAMP. And the best video player is in my opinion the stock player, it's slick and clean and plays many kind of videofiles flawlessly like MKV.

Personally I think the stock music player is great. Equaliser, effects, and the disc view is pretty cool. As well as controls on the lockscreen (only when using glass lock) and app drawer.
Have yet to see a 3rd party one that makes me want to switch.
For video mVideoPlayer is my favourite. It lacks the 5.1 sound option from the stock player though.

I have yet to find a music player that can sort by album artist (not artist) and provides an output selection of bluetooth or phone.
Really frustrating that such basic features don't exist.

What music player do you use?

hi all!
just wondering what music player do you use?
stock?
poweramp?
mixzing?
some apk file ?
i personally use walkman player and it's pretty good ( the ui is gorgeous but lacks functionality though )
so what do you use?
btw how do you get miui apk file? i googled it but theres so many links ...

Definitely try out player pro. Beautiful UI and very fluid.

But it would be great if it can select specific folder like power amp.

THIS is mainly why I use playerpro. Artist pic and album pic are completely customizable. Via folder, web search blah blah. BEAUTIFUL. Oh also download noozxiod EIZO rewire pro ... and don't use or enable the playerpro dsp manager. Have fun

Noozy.

Can anyone link me to walkman player? Sounds interesting and I can't find it in the Play Store =S

power amp pro

Noozy .. a little unreliable but the sound is worth it.

I love the sound of noozy, but its so damn finicky n unreliable that it is almost unusable. Almost. Like I m 99.5% decided to switch back to poweramp. But then I listen to it, n sighhhhh......cant do it. Y noozy Y?

ZPlayer - it's just sexy. The text only styling of Zune on the homescreen with a faded background artist. Built-in equalizer, bass booster, and virtualizer. Do you like the bass up when listening to BassNectar or Cookie Monsta but don't want as much bass when listening to your acoustic album? ZPlayer has you covered! If toggled, it can select and equalizer type based on the genre of song you pick. It will import your playlists, has an album art downloader, bio for your artists, and gives a list of similar artists. Several widgets are also available. You like podcasts? ZPlayer has that covered too. It plays videos. It has Last.FM settings. It even has lockscreen controls. Give it a try.

noozy, met this week to update my radio, since I'm using and enjoying it more and more.

I didn't see "Noozy" on the Play Store. Link anyone?

I use google music with the beats/dsp and love the sound :]

It got removed for copying Zplayer, you may be able to find the apk with a google search.

Mixzing Media Player Upgraded.
Def the best music player I've used.
The features that make me love it are..
Has automatic album cover downloads
Lyrics
Lockscreen player (which works with stock CM10 and with the rom I'm currently using; check sig)
beautiful simple widget selections:
1x1 no album art
2x2 with album art
3x3 with album art
4x1 no album art
4x2 with album art
4x4 with album art
I've used others but this is the one I have used since my Nexus One.
There are other apps that support Mixzing (as well as other music players) that you can shake to change songs, etc

Play music with nooz eizo sound enhancement

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?

Try Black player. I was big on Shuttle as it's a quality app with material design but Black player just does it all well and has its own style which I like.

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.
Sent from my Pixel XL using Tapatalk

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 !!!!

Best music app for FLAC over BT that can shuffle albums?

I'm looking for something that shuffles by albums and preferably has a 5x1 widget for 7.1.1.
I have been out of the loop for music players for quite some time and I have been using Rocket Player for the last 4 years. I am looking to upgrade to something that might be a bit better.
Apps I've checked out:
Player Pro
Rocket Player
PowerAmp

I've been a huge fan of GoneMAD music player. It plays flac, shuffles (not sure if by album), and has a 4x1 widget. It is paid but there's a trial version you can try.

It's expensive and I'm looking for more apps to check out so I can pick the lightest one to save power.

Shuttle is pretty sweet. I've used it for over a year now. The free version is great, but I liked it so much that I threw the dev some money for the Shuttle+ version or whatever.

Yeah I've been liking Shuttle++ quite a bit although I would like if they changed the pixelated looking status bar icon and made the play controls for the notification nicer like Sony music. The widget options are the most extensive I've found though. Artist artwork came through much easier than Sony Music too.

Best Player overall is Black Player (EX)
Most customizable, and feature rich music player.
In my opinion, its well made and looks damn awesome.

The other thing Black Player EX does that I like is editing is really user friendly. some of my MP3s don't have the artists name show up and I can make that happen with Black Player EX. Player Pro allows that as well but not as user friendly.

You might ask the guys over in the billion post Android DAC thread at Head-Fi.
If anyone knows a good player, I'm sure it's them.
http://www.head-fi.org/t/595071/android-phones-and-usb-dacs/5010
edit: wow, 8639 posts as of today. Not quite a billion but it'll get there someday.

After reading this yesterday, I did a little comparison last night. Used Freebird for guitar run, Stevie Nicks for voice, and full song of Jessica by the Brothers. Compared paid versions of Poweramp, Black player EX, and Player pro with DSP pack. They are so similar it's hard to pick except Poweramp has the least distortion at high pre-amp settings on high frequency sounds. So below is my ranking (just my personal opinion):
1. Poweramp
2. Blackplayer EX
3. Player Pro with DSP pack

Can anyone suggest a music player that's used for music on the phone- no cloud wanted

Still using the P2 Xl, but I don't want Google Play Music. I want a player that only plays files I loaded into the phone. I know Google Play music does that but I don't want any "services".
Thanks

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=code.name.monkey.retromusic
Works well for me.

Thanks, I also saw one called Black Player that's been getting good reviews

Pulsar is by far my favourite

Poweramp

For my needs, I use Vanilla Music player. It's basic and a light footprint.

Highly recommend poweramp

Poweramp all the way! - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=xsoftstudio.musicplayer.pro
Been using it for years and never disappointed, especially with the new GUI changes they've rolled out.
Close 2nd for me would be : Player Pro - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tbig.playerpro
Another neat one, but kinda cluttered is N7 Player - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.n7mobile.nplayer
Hope you find what works for you. Everyone tends to lean toward the cloud services, I still like loading my own music on my phone as well

I'm a fan of Shuttle. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=another.music.player

Power amp is my Fave , plays flac files also , Highly recommend it :good:

Pulsar is my favorite player

PowerAMP, been using it for years.

Also shuttle. It's free software as well

Look, get Poweramp and enjoy forever. There is no comparison. I've been using it for more than 8 years maybe. Tried other players only a first few years, then I stopped venturing out.

I like using Eleven music player https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-lineageoss-music-player-arm64-t3784730

Neutron. The gui might need a material redesign but the app itself is great for sound quality.

blackplayer ex

I've tried and tested them all as i got over poweramp after many years with it . In the end, poweramp owns.
And its latest beta update is even better than ever!
Musicolet is my second favourite , but in the end poweramp just has everything you need.
