I use my phone as a mp3 player alot but the software that came with android is very limited and does not give you enought options to use our phone as a fully funcional mp3 player. Like for example creating playlist, search songs by name or artist with the keyboard. etc.
I hope some developer is working on a better player...
You can do all of that you mentioned already. To add to a playlist long-press on a song and choose add to playlist and you can make a new one or add to an existing one. To search just slide out the keyboard and type it will return all results for artist, song, album, everything. Hope this helps

thanks you right about everything. I just found something else I have every album in separate folders let say I would like to select just one folder to play that album only, is there any way to do that, because as far as I see the player looks for all the music files in the sd card and display them in the library together.
thanks
I don't think you can organize by folder but maybe try clicking album on the home page of the MP3 app? That will read all the ID3 tags of the MP3's and sort them by album to play. Unfortunately what sucks for me is a lot of my music files are .m4a from my iPhone which the G1 can play but I don't have album art or tags or anything and it blows because you can't add tags to them and I don't have the time to convert them to mp3. Oh well, hope this helps you!
i think we will see a lot more once paid apps come- coreplayer are working on an android version for one.
I just figure another issue, I create a folder with ringtones .mp3s and the player put them on the play list to This is crazy it should at least ask you if u want to add the new audio files to the play list. now I have 10sec ringtones playing on my playlist
I'll pay for a player with all the features that an audio player should have.
What folder are you putting your ringtones in?
I have my ringtones in a folder named 'ringtones', my notifications in a folder called 'notifications' and the media player doesn't pick any of them up.
One thing for sure, Shuffle blows for some odd reason. It's always the same damn order! The only way to get something different is to Shuffle -> Party Shuffle. This needs to be fixed.
Also, it would be nice if they added the fast search (like in contacts, dragging letters on the right) to the song list, as well as speed it up quite a bit.
I'm not impressed with the MP3 player. I'm hoping someone is working on one that is a little bit more iPhonish, as I like the looks/usability of that. S2P for WindowsMobile nailed it.
Is there something wrong with tunewiki? maybe that is more to your liking?
I like the double click headset to change tracks, single click to pause/resume. Although i'm not sure if this functionality would exist with A2DP? It could do with a few more features i'll admit, but it looks fine to me.
Need an Eqaulizer

Samsung Galaxy 4.0 Android MP3 Player.
Samsung calls this an MP3 player, but it is really a great Android phone -- without the phone. The form factor is great for carrying around. I find I'm using it much more than my iPad to access email, listen to podcasts, watch videos, and more. The Gingerbread Android OS is snappy and easy to use. With Skype and Wifi, you get voice/video connectivity.
Samsung Galaxy Player 50
Agreed. The stock app never allows me to view my playlist like the iPod does.
Sent from my Liberty using XDA
Check out MKZIplayer.
Great for video and music
If you use a custom rom you can download "PlayerPro". Best MP3 Player.
(Or try "Apollo", its included in Cyanogenmod from FreeXperia)
I'm relatively new to the scene, but loving my Nexus One. Unfortunately, there's one thing that I am having trouble finding - a music player app that lets me browse by genre tags.
I use MediaMonkey to organize my music collection and sync it over to my N1 - this works awesome. However, when I listen to my music, I listen like you would an FM radio, i.e. 'I'm in the mood for Country music', rather than a specific artist or album. Annoyingly, I have yet to find a music player that lets me do this.
Has anyone found one? I know the HTC Sense UI music player lets you browse by genre, but I really don't feel like junking up my N1 just to get this small feature.
Not really a solutions, but what I did was create playlists for each genre I have. Then I can just use random shuffle on said playlist that I am in the mood for.
Mixzing........
Check out Meridian player. You can play by Genre in that app.

Brilliant. I don't know why I hadn't checked Mixzing out before - I'd read about it, but someone said it was something else maybe. Who knows - either way, it works. Thanks!
What app are y'all using for ringtones? I've tried Ringdroid on two different Captivates with varying ROMs and every single time I use it to make a song into a ringtone it skips and is choppy.
There's lots of apps in the market to download them for free. I like Zedge and Ringtones (It's the one in the market with the fire bar equilizer icon).
I use Zedge, I think its the best in my opinion
Hi there!
Its been a while since I posted anywhere. I haven't seen any post regarding custom sounds, tones etc, so I thought I would upload one of my faves.
Its a Sonic The Hedgehog one, with various sound (mostly notification sounds, although if you want any music from it, I can manage that).
They are all high quality. Basically just loaded Sonic 2 in Kega Fusion Emulator and made a WAV log while I scrolled through the sounds. All sounds are now 192kbps MP3.
Please share yours if you have any
Hi,
I finally decided to update my Milestone from some ancient CM6 mod to the CM7 mod. Now I have some problems with the music player app. Songs in compilations are split into separate albums for each.
So, how can I convince the music player to just sort albums by album name?
fix your mp3 tags: set the compilation tag and/or set the album_artist to the same value for all tracks from the album (e.g. "V/A")
sounds like a really bad solution imho, something that software just should do, not me. i would need to go through thousands of mp3s.
really no better solution? is the a problem with all modern android phones?
Well, just use a software that will do it for you.
Gingerbread mediascanner doesn't care about folder structure, only tags. So you should better fix them.
I don't really want to change any of my MP3s. I guess I'll just get an Iphone then.
enjoy .
