Gapless Music Player

I’m looking for a gapless music player for Diamond. Either it should play separate mp3 files with no gap or at least support playing one big mp3 file with its cue sheet. Is there such a thing for Windows Mobile? Thanks.

Pocket player works for me.. you can choose how long it is supposed to "crossfade" and thus it hides those annoying gaps. Quite similar to the same function in MediaMonkey..

I'm fairly sure it does regular gapless without crossfade too.

Yeah, Pocket Player is the only decent music player out there. It is not free but it is worth the purchase.
As long as you have encoded your MP3's well (such as using -nogap with a LAME encoder) then PP can handle it well

Thanks. This looks great. I'm testing it. What about cue support?

Not sure.
Wired69 has done a great Diamond skin for it however!

And FLAC-support is nice Except that's when you start noticing the 4GB limit..

For the moment the question of gapless doesn't seem that important. HTC’s wonder box can’t even play simple music correctly!

PowerAMP? I would like a speedy and great music player PLUS I like to play SomaFM.

Is PowerAMP the one for me? I use DoubleTwist right now, and it's got lots of issues. But it does let me get to some SomaFM Stations.

IMO Poweramp does not compare with any player on Output. its almost like they have muted the audio output on it. Its the only player that I have come across that does this.

Poweramp defaults to having the equalizer and tonal control on. Go into the Equalizer settings and unclick EQU and PRE and TONE. Once done the volume is equal to the Samsung music player at least for me. Poweramp is awesome simply because of that customizable equalizer.

Tried that.......no worky........I tried comparing the stock music app and Poweramp using your method, and any other setting I could find. Poweramp is aesthetically pleasing, but the sound quality isn't up to par with me.
The equalizer became obsolete with Voodoo Sound! Which is one of the greatest improvements to this phone. Thanks Supercurio!

That was my experience, as well. I tried a song at the same sound level with both and with PowerAMP I could hear some noticeable distortion. Sucked because I paid for it and am no longer using it.

Moved to proper forum.

Use voodoo app and power amp it is amazing

You might want to try the moto music app from here. It's loaded with tons of features. Auto looks up words for your songs while they're playing and highlights them as they're sung. Links to YT vids, has shoutcast, tune identification via sound hound (I believe), links to tunewiki, has sleep timer, and downloads songs. Doesn't have a equalizer though. IMO, the sound quantity and quality is comparable to the Samsung app. Oh, it's also free.

I tried pretty much ever music player out there and really was disappointed with many. Finally tried Music PlayerPro Trial, bought the paid version that same day it was soo good! By far the best player I have used with the most features/options.

I checked this one out after reading your post. It's a great music player! Hands down the best one I have yet found. Thanks for the info.

what are you guys talking about with poweramp sucking?
the default music app and playerpro don't even find my music because they are apparently unable to handle album-structure. what the hell? even IF their sound quality was better, i refuse to put all of my mp3s into one folder.
plus - when i first tried out poweramp yesterday, i was stunned by the sound. same equalizer settings as on my computer with soundblaster x-fi and winamp and it sounds a hint fuller. and it can push bass even further without distortion - i didn't even know my headphones were able to produce that and had to reduce it because while it worked, it didn't sound good any more.

Playerpro finds all my music in different folders with album structure just fine. Overall its the best out there with skins, equalizer, lockscreen widget, etc... well worth buying

Same here......... My SD card is fully structured as well.
It even links artist pics, and sorts the albums under the artist pics.
Overall its a great player. I like how there is a music player that actually integrates lyrics properly now.
If your having good luck with PowerAMP, then that's good for you! My overall experience with it wasn't good.

huh... i wonder what the problem is with my phone as i would like to compare these apps. but what the hell, poweramp works great and i don't want to spend hours figuring out what's wrong. -_-

Poweramp works great. For those that have problems with muted sound, you have to go into the equalizer and raise the settings. If this causes distortion, lower the pre-amp setting or turn off tone. I usually keep my pre-amp setting a third of the way up. Even close to half way will cause some distortion. I've tried every music app I could find on different speakers and poweramp is the best MUSIC player. Pro player is nice but eq doesn't compare to poweramp. Looks alone though, Proplayer is mighty pretty but I didn't spend $2000 in speakers for a pretty music app. Poweramp = best sound.

I use PowerAmp bc i like the widget best. The MotoMusic app thats on these forums is awesome though. Ijust like poweramps widget better

For listening to shoutcast (like somafm) I like Xiialive. But it only plays shoutcast, you have to use something else for playing local media

[Q] How to keep music streaming over BT while using camera?

How can I prevent the camera application from interrupting music playback? I can't record videos while continuing to stream audio over AUX or BT.

Using camera while streaming music will work for taking photos, BUT to record videos, they assume you want to record sound with your video, so that's why the streaming stops. You can always play music from an external source when making your music videos.

I know I can play from an external source but that would defeat the point of keeping everything on my phone- Lets say I'm having a small party and I'm streaming music from my phone over BT and then decided I want record a video, obviously I'm not going to want the music turning off for the whole party because I decided to record a video. Or another example, my little nieces & nephews were over this past weekend and were dancing to music I was playing from my phone over BT and since I have a Note 4 & always is the best camera in the room for recording videos, I'm asked to record with my phone. If they are dancing to music playing over my phone and then I record a video of them & its turns off the music, which I also want in the video, then it makes the video pointless.
I would find it extremely strange if there isn't a 3rd party app to allow this, a setting to adjust, a work-around or a Wanam xposed option to allow this.
I can't be the ONLY one with this issue lol

i guess no one else has tried to record a video while using their phone as a music player. we must be the crazy ones -_- ...seeing as that no one else was going to be of any help, had to resolve this one myself. i remember i used poweramp exclusively back in the day on my cyanogenmod g2 because compared to the stock music player it had a better interface, a ton more feautures & settings, better eq, better file mgmt, better interface & music actually played better through this app (with eq mods). I stopped using it when i got the first galaxy s as it had a bug like many things had a bug on that phone.
i just download the latest Version of Poweramp & I am blown away- it has come a long way and in my few minutes using it, I already love it again and will be using it as my primary music player. And it fixed my problem, I'm able to taking pictures & videos now without interrupting music playback. (setting for it)

any updates on this?
I to have the same issue where my kids are dancing to music I'm streaming and would love to video them doing they're crazy moves to the music.

Best bet is have the dev who rom you are using mod the camera ? apk and you are good. Every rom is different. Also someone did this already you just gotta look.

[Q] Samsung Video player vs MX player Pro

I guess most of us know MX player is consider to be 1 of the best video player out there. S,o I just wondering how it fare against Samsung player that came with the phone? Let's just assume we are only watching video.
ps I've read certain users say its 'video quality is a little sharper vs MX player.

I have several issues with soubd codec with mx.... never had one on samsung built in.... but i use only vlc player. Much lighter and yet i have to find a file that it doesnt play...mx is too heavy for my liking

Sound issues, how in a way? Well, I don't wanna install additional app when the Samsung built-in player functions are enough for me like sliding up/down/left/right for brightness/volume/backwards/forward, etc. Just perhaps the quality i was asking in my thread.

MX player is the best 4 me, at least on all other phones before Note8... great functions like playing in the background and when screen is off....

Well, i did make a thread and asked on two different one, but, cuz this thread is about MX Player, ill ask here too, and if it isnt appropriate, just tell me or move it...
Mine quote:
After update to latest firmware on N950F ds, Android Security Patch 1 November 2017 music stopped in the background randomly on MX Player. Checked all solutions i can remember-deleted third party players, turned off sync, gestures, etc, even tried MX Player 3 different versions including two Pro and 3 Free ones, same things happens(thought that it is up to MX, but it is not, on S7 that is not problem)... Sometimes music paused by it self for about 15 mins of playing, sometimes on 35.26... but it is paused and when i get back in Player it continue to play like nothing happens... Anyone else with that kind of challenge or with solution to this?? Here is on attachment system - software info:

Question Screen off gestures for music

So I've used retro music player premium for years now and on my OnePlus 7t pro I had used screen off gestures for pausing, playing and skipping tracks and it worked fine with any music player.
I only bought this phone last week and the gestures were working just fine...
Then randomly the stock music player just took over the screen off controls and I have no idea why.
I can now no longer use retro music player with screen off gestures, only the stock player which is so basic when you compare it to almost any music player that's been around forever.
Anyone know how I can fix this?
I guess I could use ADB to force remove the stock music player but I don't really want to remove any proprietary software..
Feature wise this phone is starting to suck.. seems like any EU version just plain sucks...
My partner's OnePlus 7t pro still has things like call recording despite being fully updated.. why must my brand new phone get nerfed..

same here, don't think uninstalling system music player will work , i use jetaudio and it doesnt respond to off screen gestures

It worked during the first few days...
