stock music player changes in froyo

Hey guys anyone know of any new changes in the stock music player? Will there actually be an EQ? I even noticed the music player looked different at the Google IO correct me if I'm wrong if anyone knows anything let us know even though the froyo out now still has some bugs thnx

Mine did not play .aac files

No changes yet. The demo was for whats to come in a later update. Theres absolutely no change in froyo.

No change in Froyo. The new music player is for the Gingerbread update.

That is a shame, if google put as much effort into the music player, as they did the gallery, they would be set.

Mine didn't either

thnx I wish they would sooner because the music really SUCKS and is flat on there

Nope, no sign of the Music player demoed in the keynote. I suggest Cubed, it's a very slick music player.

I like mixZing too. Automatically makes intelligent choices on what to play next based on your current music queue

are you sure look at when that guy transfers music onto his phone from a computer the controls look different unless he is using another player?

apk path has to be different, because i tried to apply the music mod that was available on 2.1 (allowed you to put a decent looking widget with album cover on a screen)
now i have two copies of music :/ my headset buttons control only the froyo version, but not the music widget i want.
sucks, lol

Hey guys if your having problems playing some music files here's what you do:
Put the music that you can't play on your sd card.
Get "Astro file manager" from the market.
open the app and find your music.
select the song click and hold it...
select "Edit" and then "Rename"
delete what ever is after .
(for example, song Iloveyou.wma)
(delete the wma and type .mp3
and your all SET!

I cant play .wav files, I get voicemail from my office (exchange) in a .wav format and I cant play them anymore (used to on 2.1).
Runing 2.2 now, any suggestions?

I contacted the developer of btunes and he said he doesn't even have permission to develop or put an equalizer on his music player whatever that is supposed to mean? lol

Same here. My voip carrier send voicemails as GSM6.1/wav email attachments. My N1 cannot open play them. So I have no suggestions but would love to be able to play them on the phone.

I am looking for a way to fix this as well... but I have not had any luck finding anyone with a fix.
I suppose it is just not as important to very many people... but it sure would be nice to be able to listen to my voice mail I get in my inbox.

Hmmmmmm...
I seem to be able to play wav files in the CM music app, Rock Player, and PowerAMP. Suggest trying one of those...

I had the same problem until I upgraded to Gingerbread (using micromod777's ROM). Now all of my music has been recognized again.

Best music player for android 2.1+

Can anyone recommend any great music players for android?

i really like 3.

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!

thanks!!!

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.

BTunes Player is cool

I use bTunes because of the lockscreen widget

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

Getting rid of music files on Nexus One that aren't Mp3 on music players.

Has anyone figured out how to get rid of all these non mp3 files from playing on the nexus one music player? I hate skipping a song and hearing the Lets Golf soundfiles that are store on my SD card. Or any other game music files on the SD card. I just want to hear the Mp3.

put a blank notepad file named ".nomedia" (just like that, a dot and nomedia, no extension after it)
the app developer should have done it himself

Should I place this on the folder where these files are store? For instance If I want to get rid on the "Hot Shot Golf" one do I put that in that folder?

yes that should work fine

oh great! i hate when im working out in the gym all pumped up and all of a sudden a sound clip from HAWK comes on n ruins it -_-

Forgive me if my question seems very ignorant but....as the file is called nomedia: would this also work to keep (for instance) album art out of the gallery?
(tried searching for it already, didn't find anything so far)

MP3, search by filename?

Been using my Hero for almost three weeks now and just recently transferred part of my MP3 collection to the phone. When listening to music, I'm having trouble finding certain songs. Is there a way to search by filename?
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App

using a file manager, yeah. When songs don't show up, I use mp3 tagger on the phone to go through the tags and make sure they are all right. Even if I don't change anything, and save it again anyways, it makes it show up.

Keep ringtones out of music player

Seems the .nomedia file trick works for keeping ringtones playing in the music player as well. The android music player, like the gallery app, searches and plays EVERY peice of sound file available on the device's memory.
But, once .nomedia is placed in the ringtone folder, you're ROM cannot find the ringtones anymore!
Any solution to this? Why can't these smartphones be "smarter"? Hell, blackberries had this feature ages ago...

You're telling the OS there's no media in that folder, thus it stops looking for any media there. It's not hard to figure out. Despite not being tagged songs, the mp3 or files are still viewed as media.
Does the media player offer some sort of folder exclusion for its libraries? I never use anything but Pandora, so I wouldn't know.

Yea I understood that, but that's basically what I'm wondering - if there's an exclusion folder made specifically for ringstones/notifications. You'd think there would be, in fact, there HAS to be...

There is a way. Search the forums I know its been posted before I just can't remember how. Also, check your gallery thread, try that solution for music, may work.

I don't know about how you're trying to set a ringtone, but try removing the .nomedia file and rename the folder with a period in front (if it's named ringtones, rename it .ringtones, etc.). That should still exclude the folder from libraries, but it still might stop it from being found by whatever method you're using to set the tone.
Also, if you feel like dicking around with the phone's internal media, the ringtones there are stored in /system/media/audio/ringtones/; you can probably add a file there and keep it excluded.

use a different media player. i recommend doubletwist.

I have my ringtones in media/audio/ringtones on my sd and none of them show up in my music player.

Make sure the folder is named exactly as above. I originally fogot the S on ringtones. Once I added it my ringtones no longer showed up in my stock music player.
