media player widget - Galaxy Tab 2 Themes and Apps

Hey guys. I have been using real player widget for the past few months. it does "skip" every min or so. I would love a good widget that handles video but really need to for music more than anything.
So what has everyone been using

If it skips then change the buffer amount so it won't skip.
Or try a different player/widget. I don't use Widgets for video.

How do I change the buffer?

Cheers

Miui strictly because I can add favorites with a single tap of the finger.
+1 to MIUI
My only complaint is that the songs in the album list are alphabetical not by track number

Poweramp, has lots of features, with a equilizer and nice display. All the other ones I tried, were missing one feature or another.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I896
Poweramp, because of the flashy features already mentioned, and one major one - it saves my playlists across flashes, unlike winamp and others I've tried.
I tried power amp but found it had too much distortion even at lower volume. Couldn't take it.
I am using Songbird at rhe moment. It is good, but I miss some features though.

I would say power amp and love the ui ... Also the equalizer is awesome.. But the stock player is pretty good

Winamp, because it really whips the llama's ass!
Seriously, though, I like it because it's simple and responsive.

Moved to proper forum.
PlayerPro. It's just the best out there, period. Has every feature that the other players are missing and the ones they have.

+1 for power amp...used many other music apps but the features and UI of Power amp beats all others...it even works very good with my bluetooth stereo headphones...

I second that. PowerAmp is pretty good but it distorts whenever the CPU reaches 100% load. It distorts a lot to the point that it's unusable. Winamp is good too but the widget is ugly.

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

CM9 Music Player (Apollo)

I don't know if you guys have seen this app. Its the beta version of the CM9 Music Player. I've personally used and found it to be one of the best Music apps I've ever used.
Screenies and Info: http://www.seeingpixels.org/2012/01/cyanogenmod-9-music_16.html
Download: http://goo.gl/CckWp
Install like a normal app. At your own risk of course.
I take no credit for the development of this app. All goes to Andrew Neal and CM9 Team.
Does this music app do gapless playback for mp3's?
This player is to CPU intensive while the screen is off. Therefore I will use the theme for the Google Play Music app
yeah my phone seems to slow down quite a bit while it's playing.. Might switch back to poweramp. But I do like the theme of it
Wait.. can u get this theme for Google play music?

What should I do with the zip file?
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA Premium App
Your downloading the template, meaning your going to decompile an APK and replace the necessary files and recompile. I would suggest using the Google Play Music and then the Google Music theme.apk to get the look a like!
Oh OK. Thanks!

Woah, you guys are right. This app is running mediaserver in the background and the phone is uber hot + battery drain D:. Use at your own risk.

[REQ] Show Lyrics Music Player

I want lyrics viewer in stock htc music player...is it possible to get mod for this..want it in stock player..coz i luv stock htc music player..but i really disappointed ..its not having..lyric viewer..
It's built in to the player
Sent from my METAL PHONE not some plastic phone bloated phone
What cheesy said. Look in your players settings and make sure Lyrics is checked..Then once you are playing a song, tap the little music note thingy in the top corner and it will bring up a Windows Media type screen with background animations AND the lyrics to your songs. I also have my WiFi only UNchecked so it will find the lyrics to anything I add on the fly

No need to mods, just install tunnel bear. I set to UK server then open and connect it. Then open your music and let it update to grace note server.
Note:
After atleast one of your music liyrics comes out, you can dissconnect your tunnel bear from server, its only need once to connect. Then you dont need it anymore.

I can confirm that Gear is working with poweramp, it can control music and display metadada ( song name etc...). Just open a music file with an file.explorer and set the type of file.to be open with de desired program. After that the gear will work work with it.

did you have to do anything to it? i wonder if i rooted the note and deleted the samsung music app if that would help?
I couldnt get google music to play. Even if google music was active in memory, if I pressed next track on media player on watch - Samsung player would play.
I needed a way to make google music the default player. Google search turned up:
Default App Manager Lite (free)
By appiator
Just use the above app to make google music your default music app. Now gear always plays google music. Plus no need to uninstall Samsung music player or root gn3.

SO, just to be 100% clear before I drop $300 lol, this will make it so the stock Gear music controller controls PowerAmp? As well as S Voice launching through PowerAmp for music? My Motoactv just died and the only way I could justify moving away from it is if this had proper remote features to the PowerAmp since I need my custom EQs for my 86 BMW's speakers. If this is all true, as long as I love my Note 3 coming Monday I will be ordering a Gear ASAP! Thanks in advance guys!
It seems that you need to start the desired music player first on the phone. After that all the commands from gear goes to the opened app. That's my case. I tried to set power amp as the default with app manager lite but it seems that doesn't work.

Thanks! While that may not be perfect, I think I'm sold. If anybody has it working seamlessly please post!

Wait, I'm confused. It appears that some are talking about controlling PowerAmp on the Note through the Media Controller while some are talking about running it on the Gear itself. I want to know if I can use the Music controllers on music players besides Samsung's. Also, I've heard that as soon as the Gear times out and the display turns off that you have to navigate back to the media controls. Is this true and is there any way to avoid it?

Thats where I'm sorta confused myself. I wanna know if I can use my gear to control Poweramp on my phone. Everytime I use the Media Controller, it opens up Samsung music app. As for when the display turns off, I press the power button on the Gear and it's still in the Media Controller. Its cool how it shows song of name etc.
