[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.

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...

[Q] [REQ] Best music apk?

What is the best ICS music apk?

Ubermusic -- from the developer of LauncherPro

try playerpro or power amp, personally im using player pro, and i wont use stock music player anymore..=D

I'm a big fan of Winamp (pro) but as always, 'best' apps are always down to personal taste.

Really depends what you need from that and how you normally organise your music.
Personally I prefer to have a directory and file-based organisation, as most of the programs I've used until now tend to screw up and misread the albums especially if you've got various artists' albums. I do like listening to music, and rarely I'm shufflin'.
Anyway, recently I've started using MortPlayer Music: maybe it's not the best looking one, but does what I need and doesn't drain the battery too much.

poweramp has it all

Can't live without Google Music.

google music is my favourite, fits perfect to ics roms, and works really stable and looks quite good..
but its annoying that i can't choose ringtones with gmusic -.-
there is also a MIUI v4 music port on the net, looks really good but not stable at all

I really like cubed player.

Thanks for all your replies. I suppose I'll have to try them all out and decide for myself lol!

Who else agrees htc has the WORST music player?

I know...random but i kinda feel like ranting and seeing who agrees with me
Htc sense music player is the worst! The whole layout is terrible and you cant even skip songs from the status bar!!! I was hoping sense 4 would have a better music player but its worse then sense 3.6 music player!!!!
Its ugly and a pain to navigate...
Samsungs is easy, just swipe left or right to change sections (artist, albums, songs...etc)
Sonys is also similar to samsungs if i remember correctly
Idk about lg or motorola
Even the aosp music player is better lol (not referring to apollo/whats in cyanogenmod)
At the very least they need to add song skipping capabilities to the notification toggle! To make it more user friendly also remove the stupid menu to switch between sections (artists, albums, songs) and make it more like apollo or,samsungs music player layout where you just swipe to the left or right
Anyways...thats it lol...,so who else hates the htc sense music player? Whats bugs you the most about it?

I have always liked sense music player... the ONLY thing i didn't like about it was the EQ... or lack there of.. hence why i usually use poweramp for bass songs and stock for normal songs because it sounds nice

haha sometimes the layout pisses me off though i had always had one problem with it.. could be when i deleted connected media but for some reason it wouldn't use the scroll wheel in certain "lists' ex artist, songs, albums and i couldn't go by #,A,B and that irritated me. But hey if it sounds good i wont be picky

Google play music (all access)

So who's thinking about subscribing to all access and keeping the service?
I'm on the trail version now but I think I maybe keeping it. I really like that you could listen to any song or album and let it play completely all the way through it. The new ui is nice and all but I like the color to stay blue.
So what's on y'all mine?

I've been using Spotify Premium for over a year now, and I have to say that after trying Google Music the service is kind of disappointing. I mean, the service itself is great, but the UI, Apps and the fact that it's browser only is really really disappointing.
I used it for about 20 min and I just couldn't deal with it. Let me provide some details. If you're on your desktop with Spotify (Windows 7), you can hover over the Spotify tab and you will get backward, pause, and forward buttons on the live previews in Windows 7. This doesn't work in Music because it's a browser based app.
I also find the UI kind of hard to navigate through. It looks nice and all with the Google Now theme, but it's just not... intuitive IMO.
I really wanted to switch over, but it looks like I'm going to stick with Spotify for now.

Yes I'm talking about both versions. I've used the phone app and the Web app.
Also, I should note I don't own any actual music. I stream only/save on device.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

I think its a good start. Yes it could be a little more intuitive but I don't have any real issues with it. I have been waiting for Google to release a music service as I have used Zune/Xbox Music when I had my windows phone and excited I can get the same service for cheaper on my Android now.

I was very excited about All Access after hearing about it this morning. I signed up for the trial but not sure if I will keep it. The biggest drawback for me is not being able to save an offline library on my phone. It looks like the phone has to be connected Internet and able to stream while playing. This is not practical because most people has capped data plans and not to mention we can't get reliable service everywhere. So anytime you are out of 3g area you won't be able to listen anything. I also have had Spotify since the launch and being able to keep offline list on three devices have been very nice. I hope to see a similar option on Google music otherwise I will stick to Spotify.

I think this should work, all you have to do is to click on "add to the library" and then on the needle symbol. Should work for specific songs, playlists and albums.

i use spotify on my phone and have always saved for offline. I want to switch to play music because i hate the spotify app and the lack of being able to sort by artist. i have remade most of my spotify playlists in play music and want to save for offline, but for some reason the download process is taking really long and keeps failing even though i am on wifi. its really annoying is anyone else having this problem?
edit: has been trying to download a single song for over an hour, really annoying because everything else is great besides this. i am going to try reinstalling to see if that helps

I think it gives the option to download for just one song (each song or album separate, not the entire library nor the list). Just to be clear, you guys are talking about the option that says 'keep on device'?

Will copy pasta what I wrote from another thread of the same subject
Absolutely incredible and the SQ is AMAZING considering it's streaming.. Interface is an absolute DREAM to use.. Google NAILED IT

So is this more like spotify on Pandora ?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk 2

Ok, I haven't made a list yet but will try in few. Although one more thing that I wonder, if I have the song or the list on my device, does it still communicate with Google play music? I am just curious if I can listen in two devices at the same time from a downloaded list? I know it doesn't work while streaming. On Spotify I can just turn the offline MODE on and be able to listen in two devices independently. (good way to share the cost of the monthly fee, if you have a family in same household)

I subscribed and will be keeping it. I had been thinking about doing Spotify for a few weeks, as I'd grown tired of Pandora, but All Access seems to do everything I want it to do. Loving it so far.

ive listened on both my computer and phone at the same time playing different songs and it works fine. i know when i did that with spotify it would stop the stream immediately unless you were offline but this is much easier
edit: nope, after about a minute it stops the stream. but it works great for a minute!

Ok.. the only thing I cant figure out.
Let's say I add an album to my library... How do I go about removing it via the app? I see every option but that

It's both rolled into one. Except unlike Pandora you can see the next 20 or so songs and just swipe them out if you don't want them to play.

Thanks for the quick replies! I tried streaming from both computer and my phone earlier and it kicked me out from one multiple times. This doesn't happen right away but it happens after a minute or so. That's why I was wondering if having the song on the device could eliminate this problem.

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.

I like stock looking apps, so I use shuttle.

Play Music.
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.
