I just moved over from the Tilt to the Fuze. I loved the way the HTC Audio Manager functioned on the Tilt, speedy and user friendly.
Unfortunately that cab no longer works on my Fuze. I've tried Win Media and Core Player but both programs have an incredible lag when choosing playlists.
Is there a HTC Audio Manager cab for the non-Manilla version? What else are you guys using to play your MP3's?
Try MortPlayer or GSPlayer.
I like Mortplayer. You have to be careful with the skins though, some of them like to crash, or have impossibly small fonts.
I wish someone would come up with a skin that has a car screen that's basically three HUGE buttons (skip forward, back, and play/pause) and then the name of the song and a counter. Most people have tried to focus on aesthetics but I think that would be the most useful.
mortplayer had a tendency to lag/skip when i play music on my fuze. i've since then switched to pocket player (so far so good)
I would use Nitrogen when I am on the run. If I have time, I like the look and interface of S2P. It's pretty slick with opengl.
Great feedback. I'll look into those programs.
One thing I noticed is that a lot of the players would shut off when the phone goes into sleep mode. Do mort player, nitrogen have that problem?
Here's the .cab for HTC Audio Manager fot TP/Fuze
I had HTC's Audio Manager working on my TP, found the cab after lots of diggin and testing... got it here on XDA, just don't remember where...(thanks to the maker of the cab anyways, sorry I don't remember who you are! )
Well, enough chatting, here you get it (lucky you I keep most of my cabs in MediaFire ):

Thanks! I've been playing around with both HTC Audio Manager and Nitrogen. Both are great programs so it's hard to narrow it down to one music program for my Fuze.

I'm not sure it's a unique feature, but I am toying with Nitrogen, and it has a "blank screen" button. The elements of Nitrogens user-interface are super-simple and easy to manipulate. As a plus its billed to be lightweight and responsive - it's fast to me.
Nitrogen is still early in development, and it looks like the author is adding features that you may miss, relative to more mature players, like Mort.

I have a cab in my faq that's called keep music playing.
basically you just hit the power button to put your phone into standby mode.
it's better than blank screen as taht just shows a black screen and still uses more battery.
The music player built in to tf3d is as good as any of the other ones. Nice library function. Menu has the audio booster built in to it. Shuffles music. I can't find anything that works as good as this. This came stock with my sprint touch pro.
i use S2P *Slide 2 Play* it also intergrates itself into S2U just like the iphone which i like, power manage is awesome while using the music player and ease of use is also great, make it even better yet, its FREE!!

I am with you on this one. However i recently switched to WM 6.5 and titanium to save battery life so I have lost the Touchflo music player. I tried nitrogen and found it to be great in every way except one.
On the Touchflo music player it would scan your whole phone for all of your music and organize it for easy selection. With nitrogen though you have to look through all of your folders to find a song which is a major turn down for me as I use itunes to organize my music. Which means it goes by album and I never remember which album a certain song is in. If anyone knows of a workaround that would be great.
The best music player is Pocket Music Bundle.
Best sound and manager playlist.

realy like htc audio manager. Even when I used tf3d, for some reason the volume was too loud, and I hated having only 6 increments for volume.
Also unlike windows media player, audio manager doesn't think my 4 zillion sound files whic are from my various instaled games are music too
Has anyone got this? Or tried it out?
I've been trying it for the last couple of days and it's opened my eyes to the world of PodCasts! I've subscribed to 26 feeds, some of which are simply RSS, and some of which are "proper" PodCasts. It's awesome. Automatically downloading PodCasts over my WiFi connection, and then letting me play them back using the Smart Playlist option is amazing. Anyone got any hints or tips, or any recommended PodCasts?

Podcasts
Anything from the Twit network and "Are We Alone", the Seti podcast, are great.
I've been using BeyondPod on Windows Mobile and have purchased it on Android.
Are you using the scheduled updates ? Mine is set to check and download updates at 5am every day, so I have fresh podcasts ready for me when I get up.
For all the fuss about the new Doggcatcher app and it being a features app in the market, I find BeyondPod a much better app.
Thanks!
I'm signed up to The Week in Tech and The Week in Google.
I was considering looknig at Doggcatcher, but it seems a bit redundant really as BeyondPod seems to do everything I want it to
Hi Im new at android but beyondpod is a must have.
Is Beyondcheduler a seperate app?
How do I set it to download at 5am? The instructions here don't match my menu's -

I have att nexus with service. If i flash a rom, do I need to change any setting to have phone functionality completely working? What is the best image out there for a noob that just needs tethering and maybe a little bit snappier n1?
Thanx in advance
The best suggestion would probably be to stay stock for a while and explore the system as it is, since it's great even completely stock.
You can try Cyanogen mods. Just make sure you read the wiki properly and do what it says. You do not have to change any settings to get the original functionality. You will lose the apps you have installed when you flash a new ROM. So back them up first.
thanx
thank you, coming from an iphone 3g, i should have done this soooo long ago. the n1 is so much faster at everything. I used to listen to a bunch of podcast, is there anything out there like itunes that i can grab all the podcasts from?
thank you
yes just install google listen, it does all audio podcasts, and even syncs them with your google account.
other podcast apps will do video if that's what you want.
what about music player?
what is everyones favorite music player?
since being stuck on apple for 2 years never new what a real phone should be. my n1 is worth every penny.
thanx

Doubletwist is a pretty nice media player (video/audio), a lot of others use cubed as their media player (both free), doggcatcher is a good podcast app (great audio and video podcasts), doggcatcher isn't free but you can refund paid apps for a little while after purchase if you dont like them
Hi all,
I was wondering what if anyone had any comments on this app? I am using the basic one but was interested in the Pro version as it has an autoconnect feature and plays AAC+ streams, two of the features I want, but have noticed that there are a few bad comments about it especially the autoconnect, and wondered if anyone over here had any comments on it before I go ahead and purchase it?
Failing that, can anyone recommend an app that accepts custom URLS and AAC+ streams and can autoconnect if it drops the stream?
Thanks
Coming from my S6, it probably has the best music player I've used for phones. The stock one for OnePlus awful, no widget for it, just looks awful, is not a smooth interface, and has the tagging error where it can't recognise half the songs I've put on it, saying it is by "<unknown>" (A wma file error I've heard?).
But my problem is that all of the apps on the Play store don't hold a candle to Samsung Music, so
1. Is there any possible way you could install Samsung Music onto a OnePlus 3T?
2. What is the best music player for the phone (ads can absolutely kill a music app)?

i use poweramp , can ealily say its the best
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.maxmpz.audioplayer&hl=en
BlackPlayer is one my favourites, looks absolutely amazing on amoled and has tons of customisations. It fetches artist images automatically and can also fetch album covers if missing. It has a built in tag editor as well. has a customised lock screen too. You can tweek around loads of things in it. I use the paid version, here is a link to the free version:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kodarkooperativet.blackplayerfree&hl=en
ive been using this for a while, its great.. no issue for me, smooth transition between pages
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.Project100Pi.themusicplayer&hl=en
I will always agree with anybody who says that PowerAmp is the best music player. I have tried lots of them and PowerAmp easily came out on top. It's a very, very well-made music player.
Nothing even comes anywhere near Poweramp. Well worth the purchase.
Phonograph all the way!!! -> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kabouzeid.gramophone&hl=en
Free!
No IaPs!
No Ads!
F'ing nice UI!
Poweramp = the best
Poweramp
Use PowerAmp due to high customization (Both Audio & Player) !
With tons of Widgets & Skin, it is indeed one hell of a kind!
The audio quality is superb if u set it correctly aligned with every Headphones, EarPhones & Speakers
The UI is very simple too use & useful too with tons of other features...
There are BETA version too though, that one is very cool due to improved visual effect playback!
Anyways, you should try it out & support the developers!
& here i attached my screenshot of PowerAmp from my device :
Sent from my OnePlus 3T using XDA Labs
I had a Samsung tablet around the same generation as the S6, and don't remember the music player being anything special. In general, I personally can't stand the TouchWiz skin and apps.
My understanding, most the Samsung apps require the Samsung framework, so wouldn't work without it.
Have to agree, the OnePlus music player is awful, and just about useless. It blows my mind that the app doesn't support playlists of any kind (only tagging), not even making new playlists in app. This alone was a huge deal breaker, and I was done using the app in about 5 minutes.
Little different of a music player suggestion, I've been (a bit surprisingly) using the Google Play Music app. Free, with few frills, and not many customizations (it does have a simple equalizer - although I prefer a system wide sound mod like V4A ARISE). But it simply works. It's mostly touted as a music streaming player; but it works just fine with files stored locally on the phone. Aesthetics-wise, it obviously conforms to Google's Material Design, if you are into that.
Google Play Music is not completely ad free: when you first open the app, the app will ask you to subscribe to ad-free streaming. And the streaming itself will have an ad when you first start, and periodic ads after that (but seem to be much less frequent then some other music streaming apps like Pandora). No ads if you are playing your own music files.
While Google Play Music is not for everyone, I've been enjoying it. I actually really enjoy the curated Google music stations. I've discovered quite a bit of new music this way.
i also was disappointed by OnePlus music app, since it doesnt even have a real playlist function.
i got myself newest HTC music player here from xda, since i had a HTC before and knew the music player always was pretty solid. so i can recommend that if you dont have one yet.

Ah, another HTC refugee like myself. Which HTC phone did you come from? I had the old M8 before the 3T.
I was actually thinking of suggesting the HTC music app myself. It's well laid out, and simply works. Nothing too fancy, but well done, as most HTC apps are.
I messed around a bit with the "ported" HTC apps on my 3T. But it actually made me a little sad to use the HTC apps, after abandoning them for OnePlus.
I was simply losing faith in HTC (after owning several of their devices - going back to my first smartphone in the old Windows Mobile days). The U Ultra looked underwhelming, although the U11 looks like a much better phone (but still overpriced). And the removal of the headphone mini-jack was a deal breaker for me.

i had the HTC One S, the little brother of the One X. Quite old phone, but it did its job still pretty good. even though no updates further than 4.2.2, which was kinda sad and the 16GB also began to become short since apps and stuff got bigger and bigger over time. but then i had the chance to get the OnePlus3 for 250€ and i couldnt resist.
true words my friend. its just as simple as it needs to be and offers basically everything what you would expect from a decent music player. i completely removed the OnePlus music app now and made HTC music my default. i also tried Sony music app, since they had some "music phones" in the past but HTC one was still better and cleaner in my eyes.
overall i am really amazed by my OP3, but i have no idea what OnePlus was thinking to release a music player without playlist function. thats just like a music player without mp3 support, pure nonsense.
If you don't mind using Google's stuff, Play music is a rather solid player; I typically use it because I have a play music subscription. but it works for the free version too, and you can upload your own music if you don't feel like storing the files on your phone.
I personally don't care too much for poweramp, but I don't have much experience with it, so I can't say either way if it's a go, or a no-go
Phonograph is wonderful, That's what I use instead of OnePlus Music. Free, open-source, material design, and customizable, without too many frills. Exactly what I look for in a local-storage music solution. it's also the default music player for Omni, hence why I started using it in the first place.
