That allow you to skip forward/backward 5 or 10 seconds with a single button press? (In other words, *NOT* using the progress bar.)
I tried TouchMusic but that one is pretty horrible.
Are there any others?
The lack of a substantive Music player on Android is maddening. It stems from the g1 not having a 3.5mm jack.
There isn't one. Feel free to yell from the rooftops that the music player isn't good enough.
With Rachel already announced, it would be hot if someone could make something like what SE showed as a media player.. uh?
isnt it possible a player can be brought over?
We still have to wait for the ROM to be out somewhere, so the player can be ported out of Rachel =(
I'd be shocked if the Racheal Music Player wasn't dependent of the framework.
No, someone needs to take a long hard look at the iPhone's music player, clone it, and let us all move on.
What really bothers me is the lack of an ability to rate songs and then have those ratings synced. I like to put brand new albums on my music player and then rate them 1-2 stars for immediate removal next sync, 3 stars for "further evaluation" and 4-5 stars for keepers. I can't do this with my android.......

The default music application lets you do that by holding the next/previous track button, if that's what you're looking for..
Rock on music player.
E-mail the developer of this music player. He is extremely helpful in trouble shooting bugs in his software. I would imagine he would be interested in developing new features into it as well.
His name on XDA is fabrantes.
Here is the thread about the app:

Unfortunately no. I'm looking for a precise skip forward/backward 5/10 sec with a single button press, not fast forward/rewind seeking.
I'm guessing not a single app on the market does this then?

i bet it's a 5min thing for a developer to edit this in the default Music app...
go bug normsoft makers of Pocket Tunes to port their app to android.
PTunes is the best music player back in my Palm days... they have already ported it to WinMob and Iphone
Just to throw it out there Meridian is possibly the best media player for android and the wiget it comes with is also great. I do agree that the phone should have came with a normal headphone jack instead of the stupid usb wire that you need now.
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.

Not sure exactly how hard what I want would be, but, I'd like to know if an app dev could repoint the Navigation and Maps buttons in the new DL30 car dock to the Google counterparts. I need the DL30 function to enable audio on my Samsung dock, but I refuse to use Bing/VZ Navigator. I imagine this would be much easier than fixing the desk dock to incorporate the audio button I need, but if someone has one or did it, I'd welcome both.

the google car dock works great. it points to the defualt apps. you need the stock music player to play music through the aux. i have the stock app for the music player and i use winamp as a widget on my home screen. the google car dock is more customizable than the stock car app.
I just tested, and indeed, this will work. However, if I ever need to navigate, I've got to open the music app, activate the dock, then go back to Maps. What would be REALLY FREAKING AWESOME is if I could swap out something on that app I'll never use, like Search, for a link to the music app. THEN it would truly be a 1 stop shop. Alas, I regret not learning a programming language in times like these. Google was supposed to release a 'build-it-yourself' software, but haven't heard anything on it since it's conception

you must still be using the stock car app. find a gapps, jt has one in his van froyo thread. install the card doc and cardock launcher. you have to delete the stock car dock before you install the google.
I tried the google car dock, but it doesn't have the audio switching link. My point is, I want a Google Car Dock that has that option. Or, if possible, a Google Car Dock that has the audio out button AND replaces Search with Music. Know of a way I can crash-learn to edit apk's?

you have to have the tw music player installed as well. you cant use the aosp music player.
google car dock
tw music player
I think you're missing my point....I know it will work if I keep either the TW music -or- the TW car dock. But that requires additional app switching. I'm looking for a one stop shop. Car dock, points to Google apps, has the audio icon, bonus if it replaces search button with Music link.

i got ya. maybe some one could make just that short cut so you dont have to open the music app at all. you just press that button and use what ever music app you want. i like the honeycomb music app but am stuck with the tw. hey great idea dude.

Yes an editable car cradle app that has the audio switch button. (and one does does not redirect output to the phone speaker if you exit the app)
Heck I wouldn't mind just having a widget that could turn on and off the audio to usb and not use the car app. I have a folder that has everything in that apps screen and more. If I could just turn on audio Id use that as my Car Home app. Someone give me a widget to switch audio to the USB and nothing more..Pleeassse
Might be time to actually try App Inventor
If you can get that to work, I will tip my hat to you x100. I first tried APK Manager, found in another xda forum. Opened both the stock and the google car docks, and tried copying the differing items in the main layout and the app calls, as best I could figure being a non-programmer. Of course, it was a flop. So, I extracted the icon images from the zipped apk, and tried App Inventor. I got the background loaded, the icons all appeared in a line down the left hand side, and I could only find functions to open the music player and contacts (I think). I can't help but think, the job would be a snap for someone out there with proper skills to replace Bing Maps with Google Maps, VZ Navigator with Google Navigation, and Search with Music Player. Til that day comes, I'll work with what we've got, then buy a Thunderbolt in a couple of weeks and give ole Sammy the bird, permanently
You could try this.
Rename your existing carcradle apk to carcradle.apk.old and drop this one in the system/app folder. It will point to google maps and nav ( first click you must select google nav but after it works every time.) cant help on audio as i dont use a car cradle.

Perfect... Thanks dude. I was also curious to see if this could be done. Does this support audo out via USB when docked? If not, no worries. Thanks again.
How do you get audio out with the usb? I thought the usb connection on the dock was just for charging and that the 3.5mm jack was for audio out...

its not the car dock app thats the problem. you have to use the stock music app. play a song there, press the little phone icon to make the audio come out the 3.5 then pause the music and then go play pandora or whatever.

Anyone know how?

Default music player doesn't allow this. Grab RingDroid from the Play Store.

you could put the mp3 in a "Ringtones" folder, then pick the file from sound in settings.
With ringdroid i can only set it as a notification,can't use it as ringtone.
And tried to copy the file to the Music folder and media/audio folder but i can't see it in my settings
Default music player does let you set the ring tone-
Just "long press" on the track and the option appears:

Is the Smartwatch any good?
Good question, I won my smart watch in a phones4u comp, I thinks it's great but not sure I would feel that way if I paid full Price.
If you set the clock display to always on the battery won't last a day. I have it set to come on when double tapping the screen. Not so handy if your struggling with the shopping!
Other than that it's pretty impressive, being able to quickly glance at notifications saves taking the phone out of your pocket constantly and mp3 control, whilst basic, is a nice touch.
It does however have a detrimental effect on your phones battery and keeps disconnecting from the Z (worked perfect on the S) maybe the next update will sort it.

It does not have a speaker so no good as a hands free, You can answer and reject calls but only any real use if your use a blue tooth headset- or as I do a blue tooth car stereo.

Wow my bad. Never even saw that option in the long press menu, then again, I don't long press random things.

To set one of mp3s as a ringtone you don't need to download anything extra. Just go to the sound setting and on the top right hand side of the screen press the Music Symbol and then you'll have access to all your music on your pone.
Revert back to default ringtones folder
GO TO->Settings->Apps->all->Tap on THREE dots & reset apps preferences.
NOW GO TO-.SETTINGS->SOUND->UNDER RINGTONES&VIBRATIONS, TAP->PHONE RINGTONES->TAP SIM1/SIM2->U'LL FIND SOUND PICKER,FILE COMMANDER & SO;SELECT SOUND PICKER TO SELECT XPERIA'S PRELOADED RINGTONES,THAT'S IT!
Im not sure if its a glitch with my Pebble, or a problem with the software in general. Using the stock music player, i am able to correctly use the controls; play/pause, next and previous track. however even though the Pebble is set to use PowerAmp for my music, the display only shows one song and it isnt the song thats currently playing. Nor does it change when i go to different tracks
Anyone else have this issue? any resolutions? I also wouldnt mind a recommendation for a music app to throw on here, the only ones that looked decent are paid
Your music app on your phone isn't broadcasting AVRCP, common issue.
To fix this and get a vastly superior music control watch app - get Music Boss for Pebble.

You don't need to pay money for silly music pebble apps. Go to the bluetooth settings in power amp and toggle metachange intent to ON. That is all.

I would hardly call the best App for Pebble, written by the most responsive and user focused Pebble developer, "silly".
