3 Music Player - Amazing

Just downloaded and tried '3' Music Player and it's very very good... Definately worth checking out...
Search for RockOn in the market and it's the app with a small "3"

Yeah I tried it. its pretty cool just needs alittle bit more tuning.

It stops playing for me when the screen turns off. Anyone else having this issue?
Looks sick, and hella smooth though

Not having that problem myself!
From what I've read theres a lot more to come from the dev on this one...

Yep! ³ has definitely replaced my default music app. I can't wait to see what he adds to it next.

Whoa! Crazy concept that one is.
Would be great if you had the option to have song/album/artist lists instead of JUST an album cube...

Best music app for Android I've seen.

One annoying feature, if you enable the headphone controls, it starts the player whenever you push the button (i.e. skipping a song in Pandora launches RockOn3 and they play simultaneously). Would be great if there was a playlist by folder creation function as well.

i got a problem with dis player it get freezed i dono y.... pls help me....

I just tried this out and it certainly contains the eye candy I love while still mainting usability. If I go past the Z however, it spins the opposite direction without stopping. I have to go to view mode then back to the three to stop it.
I love the automatic album art downloader too. Does it save the art to the actual mp3 file or to the app itself?

Crazy concept. I like it!

For some reason, I can't find it in the market. Is it still there?

so search Rockon and you will find it

Yep, search for rockon and it's the third one down if i remember correctly. unfortunately the "3" is "³" as in cubed. Not sure why they chose such a hard to search for name...

I hate to say it but I've moved back to the stock music player. I can't stand how this player functions and it is painfully slow.

Android Native Music App

Just wondering, where can i get the native android music app on the hero? i've been trying to find a good, non-laggy music app for a long time now. The HTC one is laggy as it keeps trying to load album art when i scroll through tracks, this could be because im using class 2 SD card but thats still bad. is it possible to disable the album art loading? I've been using mixzing for a while and its the best substitute so far, good but not great. What are you guys using?
I think the native android music app should work best but i cant find it anywhere in the market, anyone know where to get it?

Personally i use tunewiki

use "3"
search "rockon" in market.
easily the best yet.
lovely UI too

honestly with the combo of the album art grabber app and the stock music player...its better than tunewiki mixzing and 3cubes

I would recomend MixZing. Works well for me.

Here is the .apk for Native Music Player. Confirmed working on Hero. It'll probably ask you to pick defaults for like every action in the app at first, just choose the option for the native player (obviously).

thanks for the apk! but when i push it it says: [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_UNEXPECTED_EXCEPTION]
im not sure why, is it because i have the HTC music app as well? i really want to try it! but lately i have been using 3 and it isnt bad, even with all the 3d animations its still pretty smooth surprisingly!

Thank you

Best music app?

Looking for a full features (think iPod with a good widget) music player app that displays album are beautifully with the Widget on the desktop and is also quite useful... opinions ?

So there are no good music apps for Android?

Go with Cubed (^3) and you will never look back. Granted the 5.1 surround sound in the stock player was nice but I don't miss it.

Awesome music player, thanks

MixZing is really good and full features. Only con is it's expensive at $6.99

I use the Music player from the Cyanogen ROMs. I found it over on their forum somewhere.

Can't seem to find it over there, could you help me out mate?

I like the Samsung player. My only complaint with it is that it's a bit tedious to set up playlists on, and no widget surpoort. There are a number of really great widgets for the stock Android player, for which I believe I saw a thread that will help you install it, but I haven't gone through the effort to install it so I can't comment much on it.
Cubed is kind of a neat player, great for showing off, but the eye candy makes browsing fairly inefficient (imho), and having the controls at the top of the screen is a pain.

Cubed is good unless you plan on using the lock screen option, then it's garbage.

I was unimpressed with ^3/Cubed. Nice eye candy, but hardly functional.
I have Mixzing installed and it seems useful, but it's my secondary music player right now.
TuneWiki was cool for the lyrics display feature, but the interface is ugly as all hell.
DoubleTwist is the nicest looking and most polished of the bunch, but also no support for m3u playlists not synced via the DoubleTwist client (which was unacceptably slow for me). Maybe I'm just using it wrong.
The default Samsung player would have been great if it would just recognize my m3u playlists. WTF, Samsung.
As is, I actually installed the stock Android player. It's minimal and functional. I've heard MusicMod is a nice addition to it, but it looks like the latest version is only supported on Froyo.

I ended up going back to the default Samsung Player. The lock screen widget works the best of all the apps I tried and it has no issue seeing my playlists I sync over using iSyncr. Its biggest weakness is the lack of controls via the headset button. Play/Pause works but no forward or back.
A friend used bTunes which looks the nicest out there IMO. A close second was Doubletwist but the lack of a lockscreen widget was a deal breaker. Thing I hate the most from all 3rd party apps I tried (aside from dT) was that they all indexed multiple copies of my playlists. It was a pain trying to guess which of the 4-6 copies of my playlists I saw would actually have the music inside them and I got tired of always deleting the blank ones everytime I sync'd.
If Samsung can add some additional headset controls and a smart playlist feature I will be very happy.

I have to say though that the stock Samsung Player is quite handy and non-laggy.
I especially like the 5.1 option, which is god-like.
Other than that, it doesn't have many features but it is convenient.

Nobody has mentioned Meridian; I like it quite a lot.

I'm with you. The 5.1 in my car sounds amazing. I wish I had two options though:
1. I want to "lock" to landscape, without auto-rotate to the CD GUI.
2. It only rotates one way! Turn the phone on it's right side, and the CD GUI is upside down.
If these two issues had workarounds, it would be perfect.

I like DoubleTwist....

I've been using btunes with Widget locker to get lock screen controls. Works nicely!

I use museek. I loved the samsung player but the only issue with it was the sever lack of a random play mode.
Museek REQUIRES ID3 tags.
Museek supports album covers, Last.FM scrobbling, Sleep(auto stop), Lock Orientation,Gapless playback, and its free.
Play modes are: Repeat all, Shuffle (with the option to shuffle whole collection or just with in the playlist), Smart shuffle, Play similar songs (with the option to avoid repeating an artist until a specified threshold of songs have played).

Stock Samsung player has shuffle. Tap the screen and it's the two intertwining arrows just above the progress bar on the left.
So what players have a lock screen function? I hate the dang lock screen on this thing. Maybe I can turn it off, never thought about that.. heh.

The ONLY thing that I don't like about the stock music player is the fact that songs without album art show some gay-looking colored circles... Why not just a simple neutral graphic? Why not give an option to change the default picture?

Power Amp Music Player

If anyone is looking for a really good music player with a nice UI and equalizer then POWER AMP MUSIC PLAYER is exactly what your looking for. Unlike MIXZING which was my daily driver (as far as music players go), POWER AMP MUSIC PLAYER does not skip or force close the equalizer when you use apps or browse the internet. I currently have my phone hooked up to my surround sound system and I am running the POWER AMP MUSIC PLAYER app while typing this post on my phone (of course) and there's no lag or choppyness of any sort. This app supports equalizer, lock screen widget, home screen widget and currently 3 themes. The downside is that this app is a trial, but I gaurantee that you'll purchase this app before or at least at the very end of the trial. NO I AM NOT BEING PAID TO ADVERTISING THIS APP NOR DO I PERSONALLY KNOW THE DEVELOPER OF THIS APP. I just wanted to shed some light on this app since I love MIXZING, but hate the fact that the equalizer will not function when other apps are being used. THIS APP CAN BE FOUND IN THE ANDROID MARKET BY SIMPLY TYPING "POWER AMP".

It was? What part of it was laggy or was it the whole app itself? Every single part of the app felt smooth to me, but I guess we have different views.

Google Music problems

Hi,
i cant play my musics on the cloud with google music. And if i choose a playlist to listen offline cant download the songs! Just notice this sincer yesterday...

problem resolved... i went to google music phone permission in my browser on the pc and deleted all the phones there. Now it works

Yeah I have a problem too with this Big long redesign g-music.....WHAT THE HELL HAPPEN TO SOME SIMPLE LOCK SCREEN CONTROLS. They are trying to make a sink in the music market with this NEW UI but still no new widget design or lockscreen function. Please somebody come up with a modded g-music with some simple lockscreen function like i notice with alot of other modified g-apps.

Its coming in ICS. If you're like us and you've been running it you'll notice the lock screen has music controls and so does the notification bar.
