Are there any music players on Android...

That allow you to skip forward/backward 5 or 10 seconds with a single button press? (In other words, *NOT* using the progress bar.)
I tried TouchMusic but that one is pretty horrible.
Are there any others?

The lack of a substantive Music player on Android is maddening. It stems from the g1 not having a 3.5mm jack.
There isn't one. Feel free to yell from the rooftops that the music player isn't good enough.

With Rachel already announced, it would be hot if someone could make something like what SE showed as a media player.. uh?

isnt it possible a player can be brought over?

We still have to wait for the ROM to be out somewhere, so the player can be ported out of Rachel =(

I'd be shocked if the Racheal Music Player wasn't dependent of the framework.
No, someone needs to take a long hard look at the iPhone's music player, clone it, and let us all move on.

What really bothers me is the lack of an ability to rate songs and then have those ratings synced. I like to put brand new albums on my music player and then rate them 1-2 stars for immediate removal next sync, 3 stars for "further evaluation" and 4-5 stars for keepers. I can't do this with my android.......

The default music application lets you do that by holding the next/previous track button, if that's what you're looking for..

Rock on music player.
E-mail the developer of this music player. He is extremely helpful in trouble shooting bugs in his software. I would imagine he would be interested in developing new features into it as well.
His name on XDA is fabrantes.
Here is the thread about the app:

Unfortunately no. I'm looking for a precise skip forward/backward 5/10 sec with a single button press, not fast forward/rewind seeking.
I'm guessing not a single app on the market does this then?

i bet it's a 5min thing for a developer to edit this in the default Music app...

go bug normsoft makers of Pocket Tunes to port their app to android.
PTunes is the best music player back in my Palm days... they have already ported it to WinMob and Iphone

Just to throw it out there Meridian is possibly the best media player for android and the wiget it comes with is also great. I do agree that the phone should have came with a normal headphone jack instead of the stupid usb wire that you need now.

[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

Default music player doesn't allow this. Grab RingDroid from the Play Store.

you could put the mp3 in a "Ringtones" folder, then pick the file from sound in settings.

With ringdroid i can only set it as a notification,can't use it as ringtone.
And tried to copy the file to the Music folder and media/audio folder but i can't see it in my settings

Default music player does let you set the ring tone-
Just "long press" on the track and the option appears:

Is the Smartwatch any good?

Good question, I won my smart watch in a phones4u comp, I thinks it's great but not sure I would feel that way if I paid full Price.
If you set the clock display to always on the battery won't last a day. I have it set to come on when double tapping the screen. Not so handy if your struggling with the shopping!
Other than that it's pretty impressive, being able to quickly glance at notifications saves taking the phone out of your pocket constantly and mp3 control, whilst basic, is a nice touch.
It does however have a detrimental effect on your phones battery and keeps disconnecting from the Z (worked perfect on the S) maybe the next update will sort it.

Cool.
Thanks for answering.
Am I right in thinking it doesn't work as a hands-free kit?

It does not have a speaker so no good as a hands free, You can answer and reject calls but only any real use if your use a blue tooth headset- or as I do a blue tooth car stereo.

Thanks for clearing that up for me.
Hope you enjoy your XZ.

I've downloaded a music player from play store and the player had the option for it.

Wow my bad. Never even saw that option in the long press menu, then again, I don't long press random things.

To set one of mp3s as a ringtone you don't need to download anything extra. Just go to the sound setting and on the top right hand side of the screen press the Music Symbol and then you'll have access to all your music on your pone.

Revert back to default ringtones folder
GO TO->Settings->Apps->all->Tap on THREE dots & reset apps preferences.
NOW GO TO-.SETTINGS->SOUND->UNDER RINGTONES&VIBRATIONS, TAP->PHONE RINGTONES->TAP SIM1/SIM2->U'LL FIND SOUND PICKER,FILE COMMANDER & SO;SELECT SOUND PICKER TO SELECT XPERIA'S PRELOADED RINGTONES,THAT'S IT!

Good Audio App? Volume Control?

Moto X Dev Ed. I hate the G**gle Player app. I don't want them knowing what I'm listening to. (How does it frickin' bypass Android Firewall to get album covers?!) And it has no volume control through headphones.
I tried Phonon, but it doesn't allow you to choose a folder to play, which is a vital function for me.
Walkman crashes on this phone, at least this Tit-restored one I have, and it's not in the Play store.
Anyone recommend an audio app which allows you to coose a folder of music to play?
Is there a reason my volume buttons have no effect on the level in headphones? (it's too quiet)

Have you tried PowerAmp? There are free and pay versions.

I don't think volume control headphones work with android phones.. at least they never have in my experience (unless maybe they're specially made for it) Only pause/play button works. I don't think its an app issue, its android itself I believe.
As far as players I use a simple less known app called Maple which lets you play from folders and has some cool features like pitch and speed adjustment, and its free.

I have used PowerAmp in free version. Happy feel to using it..

PowerAmp expires after two weeks.
Maple is OK, although I'm still trying to figure out how to play a directory and switch directories.
Also, these are not volume-adjust headphones. They are just regular Koss headphones, but the phone's volume control doesn't have any influence over the volume in them. Controls do work with the phone speaker.

JetAudio. I like it on my Windows machines, and I think I'm going to on KK too. I think it'll play a directory since it plays 'albums' in a directory.

[Q] Is there anyway to go to next song using the volume button while using Walkman ?

Title.
I usually listen to music while outside so I use this a lot, but my current earphones don't have any buttons. I used to be able to do this on my older Xperia (custom ROM) so I was a bit surprised that it didn't work with Z3C.
I kinda like using the Walkman app but I change if there's no other way
Thanks.

Try Degauss app from the Play Store. It's also configurable and low on resources
