[Q] Music players?

What is your favourite Android music player? I'm trying to fish for a new one due to my stock music player being crap, and Winamp getting boring.
Is there a better player than Winamp, or is it the best by far? I am not just talking by what's on the market, custom ROM apps are fair game too.

Try PowerAmp.

The one from Honeycomb, if it worked.
Otherwise the one from Cyanogen 5.

I like using the Doubletwist widget myself. I have used Miui and like that player as well.

Winamp! Both on my phone and PC

Honeycomb is crashing. So the Cyanogen 5 one, why 5 and not 6.1?

Where can I find a working APK for this? I tried the one from the latest MIUI release (that had to be put in system/app to even install) froze whenever I wanted to enter playlists.
Also, on a side note, is there an APK from HTC Sense?

Whichever one is after they added the new nice graphics, but before the bundled and completely awful video player.

See if this will work.

I'm a big fan of DoubleTwist. Nice widgets too.

It has last.fm support and synchronized lyrics. All you could want from a music player.

PowerAMP has the best features IMO. Best lock screenwidget , best headset control system, and best UI.
Winamp has a good start but it has not had an update in like 2 months? It has some deal breaking bugs for me, the major one being I cant answer a call if using lockscreen widget.

Poweramp is amazing and a wonderful widget.

The cm music player is best imo. Fantastic widgets.

They don't work, though! I am now using "Music Mod" from the Market, which is CM's music app, updated on a regular basis by its develooer. As far as I've tried, only the 4x2 works consistently... It's a waste, I like the 4x4. This is after 2 increments of bug fixes; CM is still on 1.6 while the market is on 1.8.
MIUI came with my latest ROM install, it is obscenely laggy...
EDIT: Why does everything fail once I post about its brilliance on XDA? 4x2 widget broke...

poweramp is the BEST android music player

PowerAmp hands down. My very first Market purchase and it's worth every penny.

Veetle on Android (working well in g tablet)

Hi guys, just thought I'd share my findings. Not sure if many here use veetle but here goes.
So it was the FA Cup final (soccer?) over in england and I can't get a decent steam over here in asia. Thus I turned to veetle. Veetle plays on my g tablet with flash 10.3. But video is a bit choppy. I'm on tnt 4.4.
To overcome this, I searched the net and found a "fix".
Heres what you need to do:
1) Get dolphin hd browser (not sure if setting user agent is available on stock browser)
2) Get vplayer from market (if not available, search online for apk)
3) Go to settings in dolphin browser and set user agent to Iphone (not ipad).
4) Visit veetle.com and stream away. The video should open the vplayer and stream the .m3u8 format from there.
Note: vplayer is a paid app. Free version is a trial for seven days. I bought the app on my desire hd and ported over. It did not appear on my g tablet market. (using olympus build prop). And watching on copy righted content on veetle is not strictly legal but I'm a poor student and theres no decent feed here.

Psx4droid 3.0.6 in GR-12 (2.3.3)

Ive been using this app to play games. When I installed it on GR-12 rom/reoriented1.2 kernel, it would not launch the disc image. When I was using serendipity (2.2.1), it runs smoothly.
Does anyone else have the same experience or have made it ran smoothly on GR-12?
Thanks!

Has anyone got the netflix app working?

Tried so many versions before I was S-OFF, and have tried many since last night after I got S-OFF and installed a rooted Rom.

Bumping this.
Any luck yet?
I can stream audio but get the white screen of doom. Also I'm in Canada so the fact that the .apk works at all and lists all the programs available AND keeps track of my progress was quite a surprise.
Have tried almost every version of the netflix.apk out there as well as the netflix (fix) libraries for the thunder. Still no luck.
Rocking Hd revolution 1.0.1 btw. I have heard vague whispered rumors of Cyanogen7 IncS's being able to rock netflix, any truth?

Please link to which Netflix version works.

I think only virtuous has netflix able to run . AR didn't work for me, and neither did the MIUI rom.

Take libstagefrighthw.so from this post. Put it in /system/lib. I did not use the file to flash in recovery. Maybe you can.
Take the latest official Netflix from this thread. Maybe any of the Netflix mods will work, though.
Working for me on ARHD 1.1.1 w/ Sense 3 addon. Should work on any Gingerbread ROM, even stock.
I've found out so far that weather animations within the weather app don't work. Weather animations after unlocking the phone still work.

Netflix APK 1.3.0 that came out on July 20 has official compatibility for Droid Incredible 2, which works for Incredible S.

BBC Iplayer Working and how to, with files

Been trying for about two days to get this working, was really annoying me that when i got the nexus 7, i could not use i player.
So here it is for the others that are having problems with it.
Install the two apk's attached.
If you have been trying to get it working with other versions of iplayer and flash, please go into app manager and clear the cache and data of these apps before opening them.
go to apps and launch i player and enjoy.
No need to use other browsers now.

just installed those files, working well. thanks.

Nice one cheers

I have installed BBC iPlayer and flash player and cleared the data like you said but when I open BBC iplayer chrome opens up and says I ned to update flash. What should I do thank you

Simple indeed but The picture quality is a bit crud with this method _ if u install flash and Firefox or dolphin mini and set to desktop user agent you can just go to the iPlayer website and select and the stream adjusts to your bandwidth and you can view the HD streams too! You have to put up with the flakiness of flash in a browser but you can still watch in glorious techno vision.

Works great,but couldn't get dolphin to work with flash and Firefox isn't compatible,so I'm really grateful for this until we get an official app.

Fantastic all working.

Edited: I meant to say use the Firefox beta from play and then set request desktop - then go to normal iPlayer website.
So far is most stable way to get high quality viewing and HD options. HD stuff looks awesome - other versions just look poo in comparison.
If u want to show someone iPlayer on N7 then the above is the easiest and best imo

Funny thing that, im no expert here, but when i wiped the Nexus and re installed the i player and flash as i said above, i got the same thing. Perhaps someone with more knowledge could explain. But also i Rooted the device and set the dpi to 160 for tabley mode before i installed. Maybe that has something to do with it.

I installed Firefox Beta from the play store, it works if before going to the iplayer site you set it to Desktop mode.

Nice one, works a treat!

That's because here in the UK we pay a hefty licence fee for the privilege.
I was using firefox beta + sideloaded flash, but will give this a go. Thanks OP.
