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.
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.
Question: Anyone recommend a music player app that will seek and find my SD Card 2? I want to load my mp3s on the secondary card but I don't want to have to click on each file each time in ES File Explorer to get them to play. None of the programs tried so far work (stock music player, MixZing or WinAmp -- WinAmp burps (FC) when I try to tell it to select that option). Running TnT-Lite-2.4.
Thanks.
Very basic player that works: Andless (in the market). It has an Explorer-like interface so you just point it to /sdcard2 and your music subfolder. It also has the added benefit of supporting FLAC files, if that's important to you.
Experimental player that is flippin' awesome but has a horrible UI, right now: Rockbox. If you're an audiophile, you probably already know this app. Amazing EQ that really REALLY makes the GTab sing when you configure it to your liking. But, the UI is a mess at the moment - takes a lot of getting used to and it doesn't quite fit the screen yet.
Rockbox beta link: http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/AndroidPort
My 800x480 compiled Rockbox, from 10/31 which I'm using on the GTab: http://www.mediafire.com/?o43jl5rj4llracm (I guess I need to update that)
I am a major music fanatic, so SQ is pretty important to me. I primarily use my 10/31 RB port with my HD600's and MiniBox E+ amp, or Andless when I just need something to run quickly and without the UI headaches.
Poweramp lets you identify folders to add to its library, including sdcard2 locations. I will admit that have not tested the response that it gives when you remove or insert different cards.
Alternatively, I did use Any Cut to make a shortcut to the Android media scanning function (Activity > Media Scanner). Normally it seems that this function only runs at boot. Running it after I've made a file update seems to allow everything to show up in the default musuc player.
I use poweramp no problems all my music is on /sdcard2
Is PowerAMP the one for me? I use DoubleTwist right now, and it's got lots of issues. But it does let me get to some SomaFM Stations.
IMO Poweramp does not compare with any player on Output. its almost like they have muted the audio output on it. Its the only player that I have come across that does this.
Poweramp defaults to having the equalizer and tonal control on. Go into the Equalizer settings and unclick EQU and PRE and TONE. Once done the volume is equal to the Samsung music player at least for me. Poweramp is awesome simply because of that customizable equalizer.

Tried that.......no worky........I tried comparing the stock music app and Poweramp using your method, and any other setting I could find. Poweramp is aesthetically pleasing, but the sound quality isn't up to par with me.
The equalizer became obsolete with Voodoo Sound! Which is one of the greatest improvements to this phone. Thanks Supercurio!

That was my experience, as well. I tried a song at the same sound level with both and with PowerAMP I could hear some noticeable distortion. Sucked because I paid for it and am no longer using it.
Moved to proper forum.
Use voodoo app and power amp it is amazing

You might want to try the moto music app from here. It's loaded with tons of features. Auto looks up words for your songs while they're playing and highlights them as they're sung. Links to YT vids, has shoutcast, tune identification via sound hound (I believe), links to tunewiki, has sleep timer, and downloads songs. Doesn't have a equalizer though. IMO, the sound quantity and quality is comparable to the Samsung app. Oh, it's also free.

I tried pretty much ever music player out there and really was disappointed with many. Finally tried Music PlayerPro Trial, bought the paid version that same day it was soo good! By far the best player I have used with the most features/options.

I checked this one out after reading your post. It's a great music player! Hands down the best one I have yet found. Thanks for the info.
what are you guys talking about with poweramp sucking?
the default music app and playerpro don't even find my music because they are apparently unable to handle album-structure. what the hell? even IF their sound quality was better, i refuse to put all of my mp3s into one folder.
plus - when i first tried out poweramp yesterday, i was stunned by the sound. same equalizer settings as on my computer with soundblaster x-fi and winamp and it sounds a hint fuller. and it can push bass even further without distortion - i didn't even know my headphones were able to produce that and had to reduce it because while it worked, it didn't sound good any more.

Playerpro finds all my music in different folders with album structure just fine. Overall its the best out there with skins, equalizer, lockscreen widget, etc... well worth buying

Same here......... My SD card is fully structured as well.
It even links artist pics, and sorts the albums under the artist pics.
Overall its a great player. I like how there is a music player that actually integrates lyrics properly now.
If your having good luck with PowerAMP, then that's good for you! My overall experience with it wasn't good.
huh... i wonder what the problem is with my phone as i would like to compare these apps. but what the hell, poweramp works great and i don't want to spend hours figuring out what's wrong. -_-
Poweramp works great. For those that have problems with muted sound, you have to go into the equalizer and raise the settings. If this causes distortion, lower the pre-amp setting or turn off tone. I usually keep my pre-amp setting a third of the way up. Even close to half way will cause some distortion. I've tried every music app I could find on different speakers and poweramp is the best MUSIC player. Pro player is nice but eq doesn't compare to poweramp. Looks alone though, Proplayer is mighty pretty but I didn't spend $2000 in speakers for a pretty music app. Poweramp = best sound.
I use PowerAmp bc i like the widget best. The MotoMusic app thats on these forums is awesome though. Ijust like poweramps widget better

For listening to shoutcast (like somafm) I like Xiialive. But it only plays shoutcast, you have to use something else for playing local media

i was using XIIA until I found this.. this seems better IMO
Just tried out this EQ app. Like it so far and works well with xoom but I don't think it integrates with stock music player like they say.
