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.

Audiobook players ?

Anyone found any good audiobook players ?
Main requirement is an audio player that will automatically remember where where you were in your book exactly.

Sorry to necro-bump this, but I'd love to know if anyone has found a decent Audiobook player yet? Anything that would remember where you were after closing the app would work. Thanks

i use Meridian Evolve
(music-> last played)

I would be interested too.
meridian evolve id not really an audiobook player. the last played feature is nice, but would start from the beginning of the file if there was another file played in the meantime... :-(

is the best that I have found

I think the stock Android music player has a feature where if you put your audio files into a directory named "podcasts" it will remember the current position for each of those audio files.
Does this work on the Hero?

[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.

[Q] VLC Stream And Convert

Anyone got this working over rtsp?
It works beuatifully on my htc desire even 1080p stuff
But on my vpad all it does is "buffering" then failed to buffer :S????

i never got this to work on my gtab either. i get buffering and then i hear audio but video never shows.

didnt really work for me either... but the vlc remote works pretty good for watching movies on a media pc!

Subsonic streams great. Find it on the android market. Download the server to your desktop. Quick setup and it's good to go. Simple interface too.

i dont want a music streamer, i want a video stream.

The latest beta release – Subsonic 4.4.beta1 streams video. Just add the folder where it says "Add music folder"

interesting
Ive got gmote to work with rockplayer
Ill try subsonic now.

i get perfect video but no sound lol.
anyway for it to not play in the browser but a player?

Not sure. I haven't tried it like that. Encoding is done to flash and it seems the client app may be a necessity, so I'm leaning towards no, but I may be wrong.

works pretty good. somewhat simple to set up. kinda confusing cuz everything is basically written for how to add music.
kinda don't like that it needs browser to play and can't seek with the seek bar. but it works. too bad its only a 30 day trial.

ok ill buy this thing if it will work with non flv
Which i think i can get working using ffmeg.
Its extremly Good this program wow.....

i got every single video to work. even the High profile tv episodes i have. converts everything on the fly to a flash file for streaming. only thing is that the quality is pretty low and when i turn it up, i get a lot of buffering. could just be my wifi though. have to play around with it a bit more.

yeh all my files work now,
Did u mean i got a player to play the flash file not Web/flash?

I think I read somewhere that after 30 days it asks you to donate but will still function. It does get a little pixelated at high framerates. I'm happy it's working for you guys.

[Q] Touchwiz music player for ICS

I know there are some tread asking the same thing but those didnt give me a good anwser.
So my question is: Is it possible to have the touchwiz music player from Gingerbread roms on ICS?
It's the only music player that i really like, because of it's very simple but effective features.

I also would love this!
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium

Dont know if its possible, but what functions exactly do you need?
Or its just the visuals?

I'd like the complete music player just as you can find it on Samsung Gingerbread ROMs

there's no such player at this time. you could try miui player or double twist. they are also lightweight and simple.

how about Apollo music or Google music ?
I like them both... they are so ICS ^^ and have lockscreen controls
There is a modded Google music, the CM9 music player. But i think devs abbandoned to project.
It was FC for me, at random times

I've got doubletwist now its an ok music player but ill keep looking for the samsung one because thats still my favorite .
