hey guys, just wanna know if im the only one feeling this way
i personally think walkman feels like an unfinished music player
no folder playing, no repeat option, no sorting playlist.
the infinte view and light effects are good, and thats the thing that makes still using it.
if we use other music player, will the light effect still play?
Press on the album art to show repeat option

I've found the Walkman player to have the BEST quality sound.
if u click on album art then u find repeat button,shuffle button,favorate,button and fb like button
and if u wany to sort ur playlist then in now playing click on menu then play queue thats it sort it

i'm totally agree with you :good:
thanks for all the reply.
i agree sony walkman has the best sound. the reason im not trying to use other msic player is because usually they have their own equalizer, and not all support the phone's stock sound effect.
manually sorting is way to tedious, i was thinking of having a sort button that ask how will u sort it, by artist name, by song title etc.

no, i mean in my playlist.
when i first create a playlist, i tick the songs alphabetically, but when the playlist is created, the song list was jumbled up, not like the way i added it 1st time. what i mean is, i cannot find a sort button to sort the music list in my playlist. there is only a shuffle button, and in the dropdown menu, edit playlist there is no auto sort, i'll have to manually sort it, n its kind of tedious.
thats why i hope there will be an update for walkman that can play folder so i dont need to create another playlist whatsoever.

well, dunno, maybe im too demanding
but im so used to having a folder playing option on my previous custom music player (on galaxy gio) so im a bit annoyed its not a standard on all music player
Hi people, I Am very dissapointed from Walkman for these two reasons: No folder choosing and no genre choosing for every mood that you are in a moment. Ihave Power metal folders, Rap, Drum'n'bass, Classic and when open Walkman its like one big chaos. What I'm do for that?
First make a new Playlist with name of wanted genre, after that I'm use other player with folder play option and put all folder in desired playlist. And after 5 min of work the chaos in Walkman is ignored and choose to play only that playlist with currend mood.
P. S. Sorry for my english, I am selflerner in third world country.
I'm not sure what you mean by "put all folder in desired playlist", but for me sorting genres as playlists worked. No need to copy any files anywhere. Just create a new playlist and add songs. I suggest doing it on computer using Sony's Media go software. It'll be a lot faster.

I use my phone as a mp3 player alot but the software that came with android is very limited and does not give you enought options to use our phone as a fully funcional mp3 player. Like for example creating playlist, search songs by name or artist with the keyboard. etc.
I hope some developer is working on a better player...
You can do all of that you mentioned already. To add to a playlist long-press on a song and choose add to playlist and you can make a new one or add to an existing one. To search just slide out the keyboard and type it will return all results for artist, song, album, everything. Hope this helps

thanks you right about everything. I just found something else I have every album in separate folders let say I would like to select just one folder to play that album only, is there any way to do that, because as far as I see the player looks for all the music files in the sd card and display them in the library together.
thanks
I don't think you can organize by folder but maybe try clicking album on the home page of the MP3 app? That will read all the ID3 tags of the MP3's and sort them by album to play. Unfortunately what sucks for me is a lot of my music files are .m4a from my iPhone which the G1 can play but I don't have album art or tags or anything and it blows because you can't add tags to them and I don't have the time to convert them to mp3. Oh well, hope this helps you!
i think we will see a lot more once paid apps come- coreplayer are working on an android version for one.
I just figure another issue, I create a folder with ringtones .mp3s and the player put them on the play list to This is crazy it should at least ask you if u want to add the new audio files to the play list. now I have 10sec ringtones playing on my playlist
I'll pay for a player with all the features that an audio player should have.
What folder are you putting your ringtones in?
I have my ringtones in a folder named 'ringtones', my notifications in a folder called 'notifications' and the media player doesn't pick any of them up.
One thing for sure, Shuffle blows for some odd reason. It's always the same damn order! The only way to get something different is to Shuffle -> Party Shuffle. This needs to be fixed.
Also, it would be nice if they added the fast search (like in contacts, dragging letters on the right) to the song list, as well as speed it up quite a bit.
I'm not impressed with the MP3 player. I'm hoping someone is working on one that is a little bit more iPhonish, as I like the looks/usability of that. S2P for WindowsMobile nailed it.
Is there something wrong with tunewiki? maybe that is more to your liking?
I like the double click headset to change tracks, single click to pause/resume. Although i'm not sure if this functionality would exist with A2DP? It could do with a few more features i'll admit, but it looks fine to me.

Samsung Galaxy 4.0 Android MP3 Player.
Samsung calls this an MP3 player, but it is really a great Android phone -- without the phone. The form factor is great for carrying around. I find I'm using it much more than my iPad to access email, listen to podcasts, watch videos, and more. The Gingerbread Android OS is snappy and easy to use. With Skype and Wifi, you get voice/video connectivity.

Agreed. The stock app never allows me to view my playlist like the iPod does.

I've used search... on this forum and several others...
The native music app, and what seems like the vast majority of free 3rd party music apps, are missing what is to me, a vital function of any music player software... browse/play by genre.
I love the simplicity of the default app, and if the default app had this feature, it would be perfect for me.
Anybody have any suggestions for music apps that browse/play by genre?
Don't think of the music players will do this, but you can create playlists by genre and play those.

Grrrrr... For me, genre sorting is actually more important than album or artist sorting, but thanks for the help
That news is disappointing. Since I randomize which 8 gb of my 40 gb collection gets sent to my phone every few days, static playlists aren't really viable for me. Maybe if there were smart playlists?
ooooooh... just watched that video of the experimental H-port of the Hero build. I spied Genre sorting! Guess I'll just have to wait and hope

if you want to organize them by genre just put them in files named hip hop or country or metal rock whatever. then go get the free app. "mediabypath" then open it and it will show your music files or whatever.
go to the file with the genre you want and dont click it press and hold on it (so if you have a hip hop folder dont go in it just press and hold)(make sure you dont have anything in the current playlist) and itle say "queue all next" click on that.
while its playing go to the music player , click on the top right hand icon that has a list icon ,hit menu, then save as playlist, name it whatever genre.
That will organize your playlist for you by genre. and repeat the process but make sure the playlist is cleared before doing the next genre
i hope that helps. i was one that hated having to sort through all my music to hear one song. and i hated the fact that it would play my ringtones with my music and it would shuffle them by the name instead of by folders.
Genre sorting is vital for me too and I do it with MediaByPath. I organise the music on the SD card in Genre folders (drum'n'bass, ska, trance, etc) and put the artists and albums in fub folders if needed. The app loads the entire content of chosen folder (unfortunately not the content of subfolders, which must be added manually).
Right on, thanks again for all the help everybody.
Unfortunately, I can't organize into genre folders either since the entire contents of the music on my phone (8gb) changes randomly every few days... Well, I suppose I could, but it seems unlikely that I would take the time needed multiple times a week.
I use a program on my desktop that randomly chooses a selection of my music library and copies those files to my phone. It is also set to never select a song that was used during the previous selection process. So I literally never have any song more than 2 or 3 days in a row, and I never know what songs are going to be chosen.
Seriously though, the members of this forum have been extraordinarily helpful since I stumbled across it a couple weeks ago. I really appreciate the effort.

wow yeah in that case you might have to wait for the HERO build then i organize my stuff myself in folders but i can understand how time consuming it would be to organize when you get the music randomly. but yeah sorry bro either way mediabypath is still pretty nice if you were to ever get the time to organize your music glad we could "attempt" to help
Can anyone recommend any great music players for android?
i really like 3.

can't find it in the market
I searched in the market using "3" but couldn't find it. i also searched for "cubed" and a no show either.
I made a thread regarding this app in the themes and apps section. It is pretty nice although the playlist design could be slightly better. Search the market for Filipe Abrantes! Personally, I just use the music mod now as the stock player, while very capable, was just so ugly. The mod solves this issue.

Search the Android Market by pressing and holding the number 3 on keyboard, until a superscript 3 appears.
Doubletwist, if it's still free.
Just search Filipe Abrantes and it comes up right away!

I don't play a lot of music on my phones, I have a 32G Zen for that.. but I do it occationally..
I've tried Mort Player, 3 (Cubed), MixZing... They do different things, none of them great... I'd like to find a fairly simple player that one can build a playlist in, but allows multiple ways to find the music...
For example, Mort Player's big thing is "folder playing", well IMO that's just ONE METHOD of finding the music.. Browse by folder, or browse by tag. Not sure why that's the "big feature" in that player, as it's IMO very limiting.
3 and MixZing are a bit overdone, and 3 makes it cute but slow to find a particular album or song to play without searching. And yes, I've tried the different View's, the "Wall" one is the best for me, I suppose...
Honestly I'd rather just have a list by tags or to browse by folder, add to queue, replace queue.. That simple.
I organise my music and other audio files in folders rather than tagging things by album etc. For this arrangement, best I've found is "Mortplayer Audio Books". Don't be fooled by the title, it works great for plain music. It remembers exactly where you last played in multiple folders, so you could for example have different albums in different folders, and as you switch between them it continues where you last left off.

+1, DoubleTwist is amazing
bTunes - Simple to use, plenty of options.

³ looks really nice!
but I can't for the life of me figure out how to make it just shuffle through all my music? it just sticks to one album?
even the stock player just works out of the box and plays through all my tracks.. even repeat doesn't seem to work in ³.. such a great player and missing such simple features?
Sheesh, are there NO players for Android that allow building a playlist/queue!? Do people really just use shuffle mode these days?
³ lets you build a queue.
hmm.. ³ won't let you open an m3u ?
Do I seriously have to sit and add all my tracks into a queue or something? I must be missing something here.
I like museek
Hi mates.. i've been struggling to get the lyrics to work.. eventhough i am connected to the internet none of my songs display their lyrics when in lyrics mode.. the app did download, however, the album covers.. when i am on lyrics mode, the lyrics button apeers but dimmed, so i can't select it..

You don't have to buy anything.
You might have a problem with the MP3 tags in your tracks. If the tag entries are incorrect or missing, then the lookup won't work properly. It also depends on whether there are lyrics available for your songs. You could try a few songs at random to check.
I can get lyrics for approximately 90-95% of my music library.

yes, both.. :S it connects to GraceNotes but no lyrics at all.. only album art..
It took some time on mine but it eventually came. Just stay on the song until it comes. Some are just plain lyrics you have to scroll through, the other is the entire karaoke experience with auto scrolling background glitter and all that stuff.
Also check your tags with mp3tag, it should be something like "id3v2.3 lyrics" or something
No reason for it not to work

Hello everyone,
My question is quite simple but a bit specific :
I like to listen to full albums from the beginning to the end, but the music player can't do that : it only sort the songs by alphabetical order, and all you can do is switching to random...
I stopped used the music player from Huawei for this reason but then I found out that a double tap on the lock screen lunch the music player in a very "neet" way so I keep on using it, I'm cycling a lot and using this device with one hand on a bike is not an easy task...
One of the solutions might be to switch to another music player and another lock screen I guess, but is there anyway to avoid that ? Or to link to "double tap" on the lock screen to another music player ?
Thanks in advance for you answers, this phone is more than awesome for its price !

Thanks for you answer !...I guess
That wasn't my question at all but ok I will try some other music app...
Found a way of putting songs in order!
The only way I see of doing it is putting letters infront of the song names, so the system automatically orders them. If in a playlist there are no more letters to go with, start entering double, triple combinations if you catch the logic.. For eg. there is a song with a letter "a" and a song with a letter "b", if you want to add another one inbetween them, you have to put an "ab" infront of the desired song's name.. It's kinda lame to have to rename every one in your playlists, but that is the only way I have found effective.
Hope that helps!
Hello,
I understand that it's been years since you asked, Iam facing the same frustration of not being able to enjoy the seamless transition of album tracks.
I found that the free app called VLC does in fact sort albums by track number.
Give it a try and let me know!
