I use my phone as a mp3 player alot but the software that came with android is very limited and does not give you enought options to use our phone as a fully funcional mp3 player. Like for example creating playlist, search songs by name or artist with the keyboard. etc.
I hope some developer is working on a better player...
You can do all of that you mentioned already. To add to a playlist long-press on a song and choose add to playlist and you can make a new one or add to an existing one. To search just slide out the keyboard and type it will return all results for artist, song, album, everything. Hope this helps

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
thanks you right about everything. I just found something else I have every album in separate folders let say I would like to select just one folder to play that album only, is there any way to do that, because as far as I see the player looks for all the music files in the sd card and display them in the library together.
thanks
I don't think you can organize by folder but maybe try clicking album on the home page of the MP3 app? That will read all the ID3 tags of the MP3's and sort them by album to play. Unfortunately what sucks for me is a lot of my music files are .m4a from my iPhone which the G1 can play but I don't have album art or tags or anything and it blows because you can't add tags to them and I don't have the time to convert them to mp3. Oh well, hope this helps you!
i think we will see a lot more once paid apps come- coreplayer are working on an android version for one.
I just figure another issue, I create a folder with ringtones .mp3s and the player put them on the play list to This is crazy it should at least ask you if u want to add the new audio files to the play list. now I have 10sec ringtones playing on my playlist
I'll pay for a player with all the features that an audio player should have.
What folder are you putting your ringtones in?
I have my ringtones in a folder named 'ringtones', my notifications in a folder called 'notifications' and the media player doesn't pick any of them up.
One thing for sure, Shuffle blows for some odd reason. It's always the same damn order! The only way to get something different is to Shuffle -> Party Shuffle. This needs to be fixed.
Also, it would be nice if they added the fast search (like in contacts, dragging letters on the right) to the song list, as well as speed it up quite a bit.
I'm not impressed with the MP3 player. I'm hoping someone is working on one that is a little bit more iPhonish, as I like the looks/usability of that. S2P for WindowsMobile nailed it.
Is there something wrong with tunewiki? maybe that is more to your liking?
I like the double click headset to change tracks, single click to pause/resume. Although i'm not sure if this functionality would exist with A2DP? It could do with a few more features i'll admit, but it looks fine to me.
Need an Eqaulizer

Samsung Galaxy 4.0 Android MP3 Player.
Samsung calls this an MP3 player, but it is really a great Android phone -- without the phone. The form factor is great for carrying around. I find I'm using it much more than my iPad to access email, listen to podcasts, watch videos, and more. The Gingerbread Android OS is snappy and easy to use. With Skype and Wifi, you get voice/video connectivity.
Samsung Galaxy Player 50
Agreed. The stock app never allows me to view my playlist like the iPod does.

Check out MKZIplayer.
Great for video and music
If you use a custom rom you can download "PlayerPro". Best MP3 Player.
(Or try "Apollo", its included in Cyanogenmod from FreeXperia)
Is there an Equalizer available for the music player on the magic?
Have not been able to find one..
None?????
Nope there isn't one by default.
You can probably get one thrown in with an alternative music player, tho I don't know their names, perhaps have a look?
Anyways the player on the magic is already pretty good.
I've tried the default media player, htc media player (hero rom or installed manually) and mixZing all DONT have it. Shame because the last two are damn good media players in other respects.
What's ur preferred music player and why?

Since the stock player is crap I'm looking for an alternative. I don't mind paying.
Poweramp looks awesome and got a lot of 5 stars

AOSP Music.apk
I like the "vanilla" Android music player (the one from the Android Open Source Project). It's simple and fast. Here's a market link: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.jrtstudio.music
Side note: make sure you're using a kernel with Voodoo Sound drivers included, your music will sound a lot better regardless of the music player app you use.
Honeycomb music player is not available for all regions.
i find its interface nice but it dont have 5.1 surround and equalizer
Two on test and like both .
Player Pro trial & MixZing basic both on the market .
jje
PlayerPro is great... but I stick with Samsung's stock player - it's excellent... it's the only player that allows you to switch between Bluetooth and Phone outputs... (since those are device specific)
No player is able to handle the Album Artist tag properly...
Hello
i really miss the option to change the order of the song on the fly when i listen to an album. i use it frequently, in CM7 you could just touch the album art pic and get in to the album song list and could take the last song for example and put it second without creating playlist or change the original order of the album
is there an ICS player mod that let you do that
if not how do i use the player from GB CM7
thanks
Check out Music Mod in the market. If you want a more ics themed player search for cm9 music player. Its not in the market yet, but you can find the apk online. Both have the feature you mentioned.
Also for future reference, posts like this should go in the question and answer section. They will tend to get more responses and less flames. Good luck.
Hi guys,
Wondered if you could help in suggesting a good music player besides the standard MIUI one, (I'm on an MIUI rom), that plays almost everything especially music which has been ripped of YouTube into a MP3 format via an unnamed YouTube rip app. MIUI music player thinks they are all videos but on other roms with galaxy s standard music player recognizes them as music so makes it much easier to play them all.
Ta.

Try doubletwist or poweramp, google play music should work too.
I like player pro.. mostly because of its feature of selecting the music folders.. only files in the folders you have selected will be shown in the music library
