Mixzing player is the best Music Player (it is free)

Yeah, it's not too bad, and rockon isn't that bad either, weirdly you can download it for free here http://abrantix.org/rockon.php but have to pay on the market.
Have half a mind to write a better one, maybe some day.

I user Meridian, pretty much all in one for video and music. Does album art, supports hand gestures, shows lyrics, use the handset button to play/pause and other stuff. Tad bit on the slow side, but still good.

I was gonna make pos tlike this..question do all music apps run as a service?

my post from over at ******
Just one of my posts from nokia apps i thought i should bring to the table I'm not sure if this is the best place for it but i thought it might be helpful.
Mixzing Cyrket - MixZing Music Player - nice look and feel, pretty solid once you turn off recommendation, and prevent it from creating a new playlist everytime you play a new track. Ultimately i defaulted back to the standard as it has a background process.
Tunewiki Cyrket - Tunewiki - if you like the look and feel of the ipod touch this is for you. if you can stand/replace the icon. Lyrics can be turned off which is good, and it has full youtube integration like the standard. Again it has a background process that will not die!
Meridian Cyrket - Meridian Player - really don't get the appeal of this player but it does seems pretty popular. cool swipping motions!
Ambient Ambient Music Player - About - actually a pretty good mp3 player but you wont find it in market, i think this projects been abandoned which is a shame........
Rock On RockOn for Android - intends to deliver an itunes/songbird media flow method of browsing music. Still very beta but great promise.
droidPlayer lite http://www.cyrket.com/package/com.droidplayer.activity - Ok so the lite version is really limited, like 10 songs to a playlist limited, the controls don't feel great and i think it's pretty ugly not to mention it's fondness for force closeville. I've not tried the full version but if the lite is anything to go on, it wont be worth buying a key.
Instinctiv http://instinctiv.com/download_G1.html - Very very light application, the ipod shuffle of the group, nothing fancy. Force quits a lot on me but not everyone reports this problem!
Ongoing Music Adapter Cyrket - Ongoing Music Adapter Lite - not really a media player as such but a handy toy if you ever launch mp3s from your browser or a file manager and then want to actually go on with playing with the phone.
mp3tagger Cyrket - mp3tagger - not a media player at all but if you're as irritated by metatag errors as i am
As for Diggin I'm sure we'll all hear if it ever launches till then watch this space http://www.digginmobile.com/
Personally i don't really use the mp3 players much i tend to use streaming media application such as:
Last.fm Cyrket - Last.fm - Personal Radio If you don't use last.fm check it out it's brilliant, recommends music based on your listening patterns and it learns quickly, I think it's fantastic as it seems to know my mood after about 3-4 rejections!
Nutsie Cyrket - Nutsie Pretty solid app, basically your media library on the move
Music On Demand Cyrket - Dizzler - not bad system but it seems to buffer a lot which can be very frustrating
Imeem Cyrket - imeem - I'm not a fan, it's a solid enough app but you can only skip 6 songs in an hour so you may find yourself choosing another app if you have a few crap songs lined up!
Please feel encouraged to add any new finding!

I agree ... I like hat large album art feature of Mixzng .... but man this phone lacks a decent sexy looking mp3 player!

Re: droidPlayer
Hey there,
Try the new version 1.2.0 ! 3d animation and response is much faster,
no hang ups so far. In lite-version you can have now 20 songs in song-mode instead of 10,
which is enough for me.
Later dudes,

I love my phone but yeah the music player sucks donkey. I hate the fact that it shows ringtones too. The one thing I wish we had from the iphone is the media player. I like the way its set up simple, sleek and sexy. Someone should port that to Android.

The one thing that is missing from all of them is an on screen volume adjustment. I normally use mixzing and have my phone sitting on my desk at work. It would be easier to just tap the screen to adjust the volume rather then having to mess with the buttons on the side.
No, I am not so lazy that I can't pick up my phone. I had it on my Wizard and I really kind of miss it.

Best music player for android 2.1+

Can anyone recommend any great music players for android?

i really like 3.

³
.........

can't find it in the market
I searched in the market using "3" but couldn't find it. i also searched for "cubed" and a no show either.

I made a thread regarding this app in the themes and apps section. It is pretty nice although the playlist design could be slightly better. Search the market for Filipe Abrantes! Personally, I just use the music mod now as the stock player, while very capable, was just so ugly. The mod solves this issue.

Search the Android Market by pressing and holding the number 3 on keyboard, until a superscript 3 appears.

Doubletwist, if it's still free.

Just search Filipe Abrantes and it comes up right away!

found the "3" player using holding down 3 on the keyboard.
thanks!!!

I don't play a lot of music on my phones, I have a 32G Zen for that.. but I do it occationally..
I've tried Mort Player, 3 (Cubed), MixZing... They do different things, none of them great... I'd like to find a fairly simple player that one can build a playlist in, but allows multiple ways to find the music...
For example, Mort Player's big thing is "folder playing", well IMO that's just ONE METHOD of finding the music.. Browse by folder, or browse by tag. Not sure why that's the "big feature" in that player, as it's IMO very limiting.
3 and MixZing are a bit overdone, and 3 makes it cute but slow to find a particular album or song to play without searching. And yes, I've tried the different View's, the "Wall" one is the best for me, I suppose...
Honestly I'd rather just have a list by tags or to browse by folder, add to queue, replace queue.. That simple.

I organise my music and other audio files in folders rather than tagging things by album etc. For this arrangement, best I've found is "Mortplayer Audio Books". Don't be fooled by the title, it works great for plain music. It remembers exactly where you last played in multiple folders, so you could for example have different albums in different folders, and as you switch between them it continues where you last left off.

+1, DoubleTwist is amazing

bTunes - Simple to use, plenty of options.

BTunes Player is cool

I use bTunes because of the lockscreen widget

³ looks really nice!
but I can't for the life of me figure out how to make it just shuffle through all my music? it just sticks to one album?
even the stock player just works out of the box and plays through all my tracks.. even repeat doesn't seem to work in ³.. such a great player and missing such simple features?

Sheesh, are there NO players for Android that allow building a playlist/queue!? Do people really just use shuffle mode these days?

³ lets you build a queue.

hmm.. ³ won't let you open an m3u ?
Do I seriously have to sit and add all my tracks into a queue or something? I must be missing something here.

I like museek

[Q] : Any Roms with a modified music player?

Hey Guys,
I just entered the world of Flashing Roms and is completely taken aback by all the amazing ROMS available here.
The one thing I hate so much in my TP2 is the default music player. The way the library is managed is just awful. Especially due to the lack of scrolling by alphabet feature.
I know there are other music players out there that does a better job. But I was just wondering whether there are any stable roms out here which has tweaked the default manila music player?
Please dont bash me if this has already been discussed. I did a lot of search in the ROM Development thread and couldnt find anything relevant.
Thanks in advance

Hi, I don't know if it's any ROM with a modified HTC player out here, but I think the easiest way is to just install a player you like, and use that.

I think HTC player is nothing more than just a slightly modified user interface of the windows mobile player. It's the WinMo player that sucks unfortunately. I always experience the device running slow with the music player and would love to use a better player.
I think installing third party player is the best option.

Nitrogen is a really good lightweight music player, with some amazing skins as well. But I don't want a lightweight one. Man.. I wish there was a music player for WM with all the functions music players should have, like: Playcount, search, nice organised libraries (not just searching your entire storage card...), nice playlist setup etc. I'm gonna try out MortPlayer soon, just after I get these ROMs uploaded

+1 for Conduits Pocket Player.
I'm using the Sense interface when it comes to music, you just need to organize your favorite sings into playlists Makes the player a far more usable imo.

I setup MortPlayer last night, it's pretty awesome as well Just have to get a new theme. iGloss and Blob (or something like that) are both really brilliant.

Music App for Windows Mobile
S2P is a good music app with alphabetized song, album, and artist listings. It has a nice layout with full screen album art. Really easy to use.

Win Phone 8 music player is awful!

I just got a Lumia 920 and I absolutely hate the music players they have on it. The Nokia app is only a little better than the stock Xbox music app. For one thing, you can't specify where to look for your music, so it adds any MP3 file on the phone to your music list, which makes doing shuffle a pain. And for some reason, it is impossible to get a playlist on the phone unless all the songs are in the same folder. Anyone know a decent music player, or at least a way to get a good playlist on the phone? I tried using Mediaplayer from the pc and no luck.
Thanks for any help!

yeah and i cannot see all songs now playing (album tracks), only one. I cannot see how many songs in album remains and cannot select another. It sucks
I have found really nice alternative music player. It is simple, but usefull: Album flow
here is link: http://www.windowsphone.com/pl-pl/s...26b-0d29-4e6a-849f-0fd6b8fc10dc?wa=wsignin1.0

Disagree totally. On my Nokia Lumia the player is pretty nice, does what it's supposed to. Has an equalizer with presets and manual, suggests Nokia MixRadio channels where locally played music can be found (great to find other good music) and shows background images of the playing band from the net. It's actually a very nice player.

Just if you compare it to a stone. if you compare it to a decent music player it sucks. but in regards of your other postings i sense you dont care about the rest anyways

I ended up dumping my 920 and going back to Android on a Samsung S3, and much happier now. Not just for the music player (though PowerAmp is awesome!), but for the horrendous lack of basic features. Too bad, I really wanted to like my Windows phone.

I also don't care for the music player apps available on the Lumia 920. I keep hoping for a Rockbox port - mostly because it supports all the codecs I have.

Great alternative for music player on wp

I play mostly local music stored on my phone. And for those uses musictastic is by far the best player I have found. Its free, reads playlists I create on my desktop from windows media player, looks great, shuffle fun too works as it should, and displays album art correctly. Definetly worth a try.

Changing Album Art

Hi, my name is Jason. I'm new to this site. First off, I've been reading around the site. Good questions and answers and very helpful.
I recently installed a whole bunch of songs from my laptop on to my G4. Upon opening the music player I realize that only a handful of albums have the album art. I installed around 100 artists and maybe 15 of them have the cd cover art. One of them has only 1 song and when I hold down the default album art, it brings up the option to Change Album Art. So I did. However, when I do that same thing on all the other albums that have more than one song in it, the Change Album Art doesn't even come up as an option.
Am I doing something wrong...or am I just not seeing where I need to do this?
Thanks in advance.

Have you tried running this app?

It's been working great on my G4.

Funny enough, I just discovered this app yesterday. I installed it and it works great. Thanks for the response...I appreciate it. I'd still like to know why the music player allowed me to change the album art on 1 or 2 artists, but not on the rest. Seems kinda goofy. Thanks again though.
