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.

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?

[Q] Music control buttons in notification bar

Hello.
After rooting my LG Thrill, and freezing/deleting some default applications (such as default music player), these buttons appeared in my notification bar. They look cool, but this is the only thing they do. No reaction on simple touch or long press.
I would really like to remove them or make them work. Any help is welcome.
Thank You, and sorry for my bad english

Its a result of you freezing your music app... it wont go away till you restore it. Or if you want to try your hand at changing the code to remove it from the notification area
Sent from my LG Thrill 4G...

I'm afraid i lack some knowledge to change code. This is my first smartphon and i got it like 2 weeks ago. Thank you though.Will try to restore default music player.

And i would be really thankful if You could get me some tips on how to change that code.

Man... I think the stock music player is just fine and happen to enjoy the controls in the notification area.... why err'body hatin' all the time dizzang.

I'm not hating it, it's just, there are players that can give you more control over your music, with more settings and better sound quality

I'm in the same boat! I just like power amp more. I don't want that installed if I'm never going to use it.. But I don't want the non functional controls taking up screen space either. I was surprised to disable it, remove the app - then see it return.
I've seen some people remove it on lg p990's I think, we could probably do something similar - but it looked complex. If it was as simple as changing a text file...

If u just want to remove it from the notification bar open the music app hit the menu button then click settings and unclick the music player in notification. Hope this helps

if u can fix it good for u or reinstall the room
but for best player is PowerAMP
so cool app that u will hear the music like never befor

Nexus 7 my library widget causing lag?

Does anyone else get this?
When the 'my library' widget updates from a something like a new played song, my home screen suffers terrible lag until I remove and re apply the widget to my home screen. I notice this happens most when adding or playing a new song. I live in the UK and so dont have google music, so all my songs are from my computer.
Also the widget doesn't load the song thumbnail previews?
Someone please reassure this isn't just me?

I was getting the same thing, it was slowdown the whole device even on the app tray. Removed that widget and all is well again. Same when leaving the Play store sometimes too.

Swiping left and right and opening and closing the app drawer with this widget on my home screen was causing stutter - like above, removed and now its smooth as butter

Lag Fix
I posted this fix in another thread about lag, but it may help you too. I found that disabling auto-sync in Google "Currents" helped improve speed a good bit.
I have the media widget and the stuttering has def minimized after doing this.
You can see a video of the fix here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WnJRYTKqnRc

Yeah, Mine won't show thumb nails now.. it did in the first few days then stopped...? Likewise a UK user... just deleted the widget and re added it, solved my lag so far, but not solved the thumbnails...

I have the same problem with both my gnex and my n7. if I remove the widget and 're add it to the home screen it goes.smooth again but if I click on anything on the widget the lag returns.

[Q] music muting when using google music player

Hi people, I have a question which I am sure may stump you, looked thru some other threads but unable to find anything except the thread on google music id tags. Anyway the problem: Google music does not play any more since I flashed Liquid Smooth Rom v3.2 LS-KK-v3.2-2014-10-29. and GAPPS The music starts for a split second then mutes, then comes on again around 30 secs later.When viewing the volume icons in settings the music,video, games & other media is locked to mute with no way to raise it. Also when I try to unlock the phone, it mutes again when playing. The internet did not offer much help and what it did offer I have tried with turning off voice activation for google now. It plays thru Apollo now but did not this afternoon. Went into v4a settings and enabled what I think should be able to get it working even uninstalling the driver and rebooting also downloading the zip file (android forums told me about) and tried to install but super SU told me that "there was another version running with a different signature". I am running nova launcher but went back to liquid launcher to see if any different, still same problem. Drop a line if you may know how to fix it. I am thinking it is something simple but buggered if I know what it may be. I will start to move my music from google cloud back onto my SD card then move it to Apollo player.
Cheers for any help given.
Dan Albress.
