[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...

i actually really like the clean interface of doubletwist, airsync, and it's nice widget looks

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

What music player do you use on your GNote?

I was wondering what do you use to play your music.

I use MixZing PlayerPro. Great interface, many options/customization, excellent equalizer, highly recommended!
For my video player I'm using MX Video Player Pro. Once again a great player which even plays subtitles and plays ANYTHING you throw at it, theres never been a video it cannot play.
It also makes use of dual core processors therefore playing 720p & 1080p content is silky smooth & crystal clear.

Hows mixzing at organising the music. Can you delete tracks while playing them, does it updates the metadata, album or track cover?

It's great. With regards to organization you can sort by artist, albums, songs, genres or playlists.
Best part about the player is the equalizer! Goes from 30hz to 16khz and even has a preamp!
When playing tracks you can:
Refresh Artwork
Add tp Playlist
Delete
Use as Ringtone
All by Artist
All on Album
Home
Settings
Help
You can also edit tags, share and even identify song.
I strongly recommend this app, there is a free basic edition but if you like it pay for the pro version...

I'm using PowerAMP, works great, as it did on my HTC Desire. I'm also using the free Klipsch app from the Market for headset control.

im using double twist. . its itunes for android. .

Ubermusic.

I was updating metadata of music in my phone and by mistake it changed the artist of all the songs to pussycat dolls

Does it do true gapless MP3s? I have allot of Floyd, which would be ruined if gaps or pops/clicks were heard between songs.

Some habits are hard to break.
I've been using WinAmp for over a decade, and will use it in 2012 for sure. EQ, play by folders, and Shoutcast are the main reasons. Here's to hoping that many of the great plug-ins make it to Android...

PowerAMP, like most people.

Im using a a music player called 3
Im looking for one that does not have any random audio skipping when I do something on the phone, PowerAMP skips a lot even if I have the audio thread at highest with 700ms buffering.

I installed mixzing n loving it...

Wow. None of you are using Google Music?
I guess that still might be US only. Damn it's amazing though.

I use playerpro, imho it's best

Mortplayer. It allows me to play by folder only. Doesnt rely on media scan. Works even if MS is disabled.

Haha, everyone has listed a different music player!
This is normal since different people like different players for reasons such as:
Looks/Interface
Functions/Ease of use
Options/customization
Audio/sound options/quality/equalizer
However, most audio apps mentioned above are highly recommended and have received excellent reviews.

I also love mixzing. it also have nice collection of widgets that allow to run it directly from desktop. the only thing I wish to add to it is the ability to control it from notification area ( like the stock player)

I use UberMusic. It's a Wp7-like Player. In my opinion it looks very nice, does't lag at all and has some usuable functionalities others haven't got

Apollo Music Player, Disappointment?

Apollo has been out for a while now and used as default media player on MANY ROMs. I admit, there are a few new features. But... From the older CM music player this feels like a downgrade. There are a lot less customization... In our actual settings panel now all we have is a theme setting coming from like 20 categories... AND it still takes up 30 MB of RAM whereas Google Music takes up 6-8 MB. I was expecting a lot more from Apollo... Hopefully if the app ever gets updated it will be A LOT better...
What do you guys think?

Agree, I don't like it at all, unfortunately.
Worst thing (to me) is the cover art grabbing, man it's so disappointing...
I did froze Apollo in almost every rom I used so far, think I'm going with Google Play Music.

I can agree, google music is always my stock app. I always go in and delete the apollo app... But since i started running aokp it dosent come with any music players pre installed. :highfive:

It sucks and is the same as Google music. Miui music player rocks!

MIUI takes up 25 MB of RAM (+ a little more because of its' own equalizer). I've tried it, its got features but I like the look up Apollo/Play Music better.

My stock is 90% of the time, the stock Google Music. I think it is just great and I love having everything integrated to the cloud instantly (Even for me as a Canadian ) But the Appollo app was a large disappointment. Not only did I find a lot of glitches and poor performance but it is not anything new either. Google Music, True, is not full featured but it with great ease gets the job done. My second choice is hands down MIUI Music, because the app is silky smooth! Fast, functional and wonderfully designed and featured. I would use it 24/7 if only it could sync to the cloud some how.

Tried it once, delete it every time I see it on a ROM. Devs should understand that people won't accept other players because most of us are used to the default one from stock versions of Android.
I also use Google Music.

I agree, I prefer MIUI music or TTPod

Hopefully it will eventually be my main music player but for now I'm still. using poweramp

No. As far as i know google hasn't released the code for google music to 3rd party yet.

this always freeze ,force close

Mine doesn't freeze or force close. Mine just has hitters when closing certain apps every so often. What in really upset about is the lack of features. The old CMplayer had more stuff in it than this one does.

If Apollo ever updated to a more stable release this would probably be the best player available. Well... given you add 1-3 more features like the older CM player. I love the widget. For that reason alone I can't ditch it. Yes it's a stupid reason, but it looks great on my home screen.

imho, it's complicated
or better too much and not ordered "way" to select a track/surf through your collection

Music player

Hi!
I wonder which music player to use. I think about Apollo and Google Play Music. In my country (Poland) we don't have Google Play Music service but I love the Google Play Music look. What do you think?

It's the built-in player included in Samsung stock ROMs. As far as I can see from your sig, you are running stock, so check it out, it should be called "Music". Everyone's preferences are different, but for me personally, it's the best option overall (even after trying quite a bunch of more advanced players). The most important feature for me is the ability to work with folders, not just playlists/albums/artists (surprisingly lacking in many other players).
Frankly, I am not familiar with the 4.2.2 version of the Sammy music player, as it might be different from 4.1.x (I played around with 4.2.2, but didn't use it extensively).

Oh, i forgot to say you, that I have Cyanogenmod 10.1 installed. Is it legal to download the apk with stock player and install it?

PowerAMP, good design, lots of functions

PowerAMP or player pro..! Any of the two...! Best according to me...

Poweramp Pro hands down. Awesome graphical user interface. Nice widgets.

Try Z player u wont regret installing it...

What music player do you use?

AS you probably know from the title what music player do you use on your nexus 5? I'm currently using musiXmatch and I think its great but maybe there is a better player out there so I'm asking

I use poweramp. You should try it. It has 14 day trial I believe but it is currently on sale for 1.99$ and the original price is 4.99$. I really recommend you pick it up before the sale is over. Power amp has lots of customization and an amazing equalizer.

Poweramp FTW! :good:

I like stock looking apps, so I use shuttle.

I use PowerAMP when I use something such as CM, and I attempt to use Apollo, but I can't deal with the little bugs in Apollo. Shuttle, I use to use. I have the full version as well. Worked flawlessly.
