[Q] Beside stock music player which one should I choose?

Hi folks,
I'm interested at using a different music player since the stock music player doesn't give me much in terms of features.
I've had PowerAMP (Paid) problem with is that every time I get an SMS message the music cuts out to play the sounds in my headphone and then the music blares out on the out speaker and then once the inbound sms sound is done it's plays back into the headphones.
I've had DoubleTwist similar type of problem but not as bad and unless you paid attention you wouldn't notice. BUT it's a huge memory HOG while running and playing music is eats about 55mb in the memory and I can't send the APP to SD.
What other alternatives do I have? I was considering PlayerPro but I really am trying not to have to pay for an APP.
I was looking at Winamp which I love but I would need their PRO version which again is a bummer cause I really am trying not to buy it.
Any suggestion?
Cheers.

Nice. Well after running for a while I was happy to see that cpu usage and memory usage weren't crazy. Nice app.

I guess it does

TTPod. Unfortunately the latest version is Chinese only, but someone has made an unofficial translation. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1551201
On a sidenote: does anyone know a musicplayer that supports lockscreen controls on ICS, besides the stock player? I tried Cloudskipper, ZPlayer, ÜberMusic, WinAmp, Poweramp, the MIUI player and TTPod, but none supports it afaik.

I like MIUI's music player. I think it's available to non-MIUI users. Just google it.

Have you gone through all the settings in PowerAMP? There are several pages of settings for how notifications work while music is playing, how headphones work with music/notifications/plugin/etc, and more. Pretty sure that you can configure things the way you want if you spend some time in the settings pages.
PowerAMP 2.x is working great on my Xperia Pro (MK16a), with just the slightest dimming of the music to play are very dim notification alert, and then going back to normal volume, without interrupting the music nor changing which speakers the music comes out of.

Pheonix,
I've been through all the options in PowerAMP each time a notification will come on while music is playing (depending on the settings) it's on. Music will either fade or cut out. The notification will play but the MUSIC will resume on the external speaker for about 3seconds before switching back to Internal.
It's been doing that ever since I got it and with every music playing I've tried. I'm running on stock .62 rooted and there's no customization that's been done.
Now I've actually loaded the MIUI Music player back on my phone and actually that solved my problem. So this leads me in the direction that some of the music player interfere to an extent with the notification/speaker process.
Cheers.

Actually, I just noticed this issue last night while listening to music and getting texts from the wife. This didn't happen before.
I'm fairly certain that it's a new bug, as the 1.x versions never had this problem, and the early 2.0.x versions didn't either.
I'll go through my backups and see if I can find a version that doesn't have this issue.
Have you reported this to the PowerAMP devs?

Have you tired UBERMUSIC..?????
Its awsome....!!!!!

Disable battery saving
I had the same problem. YouTube etc. were all fine. I disabled battery saving under WiFi advanced settings. Seems to have fixed it for me. I'm running 4.4.2 V10L-EUR.

Music capabilities

How does music playback work on the Smartwatch 3? What software does it use to play back music, and does it support FLAC files? Also, how many hours of playback can you get?

It's very convenient to use Play Music on the SW3 when paired with your smartphone. Walkman works well (with my Xperia Z3) although I can't begin to play music from it (as yet I know how to) with Walkman because it thinks I'm trying to access music from the watch itself, which is unfortunately not the case, Play Music has the option to "Play from phone" or ("Play from Watch" -> which would require headphones paired to the watch itself.) As for Flac files, I have no idea, but my phone recognizes and plays Flac, and Walkman can change the song from the watch.

Thanks for the info. I've been thinking about getting one so I can forego my smartphone while jogging or cycling. I guess the lack of FLAC isn't a deal breaker, particularly when you consider the watch only has around 4GB of storage.

it does play flac files, even hi-res ones

Music Player battery drain

Hi,
What Music Player do you guys use? I've tried Phonograph, stock Music Player, Player Pro and a few others, and i'm facing considerable battery drain. 5%h playing local storage music, while just 3%/h using Spotify.
I've tried with Stock kernel, ElementalX with and without AKT, Franco... OOS 3 and 4 as well. All % screen off.
Is this normal? My old Moto X never reached more than 2%/h playing music.
Is it the music players that i've been using?
I've searched over the internet and found nothing about it.

Try google play music

Low clarity of music when played with music player.

Music quality is destroyed when playing music over headphones with music player (eg.google play music). My phone is Nokia 6.1. No problem on YouTube or any other apps. Only music player apps. Music gets very distorted and noisy and very bad. Please help.

have you tried other music player?

Yes

I have tried a lot of music players. It won't work. But there is no problem in playback when music played in file manager. Please suggest a solution. It is a really bad issue for me.

The only thing that occurs to me is that you try hard reset
