I received my HTC Desire on Monday, and coming from an iPhone i felt that the built in music player was a bit lacking.
Then i discovered Cubed (Not allowed to post a link being a new member, but google "Cubed Android". Check it out!! It is such a nice application to use, and i thought other people may be interested in it, it runs beautifully on the Desire, and is definately an improvement over the stock music app!
appears in the market as 3 (supposed to be the little 3 that means cubed in maths....)
search the market for 3 by Filipe Arabantes.
And yes, it's pretty good. just a shame you don't get the music controls on the lock screen like with the built in player.
I've installed this on my Desire but I cannot see a widget. Should there be one?

It doesnt show up in my widgets list, only programs list.

Had an update today and now have 3 widgets in my list. Sorted. Great app.
I still prefer Wiki I have to say. It's a bit faster and intuitive. Plus I listen to a lot of screamy rock and it's helpful to know what they're on about.
Installed it a few days ago and very impressed so far. Love the interface, the only thing I'd really like to see is a lockscreen interface for playback control.
For those who didn't find it with the above searches:
Search for "Cubed music" on the market. You'll see the app appears as number "3".
Nice app, thanks for sharing.
I love this player.. only problem is some songs are missing that show in other apps?
Thank you for the recommendation
Brilliant app

They will not be missing, they are found under 'miscellaneous'
I love this app. It looks great, and allows you to download album art pretty quickly, which is a dream.
My problem is that when I do a full scan, the art seems to be assigned to the wrong songs. Any way to fix it, or unassign the pictures and do a reassign?
There's an update available for this app via the Marketplace, downloaded it today.
My Fav player at the moment .. but I am still hunting for a good player like this with an EQ ... Seen a couple but nothing with a good UI.
Any recommendations?
Unfortunately no...The only player i have with EQ is called Audio Player with EQ (very original...),found it in the Market,but it doesn`t fullfills my dreams...only thing thats good about it is the EQ.

The updated version will display the music controls on the lock screen.. very nice..
This app doesn't display any album art for me, everything is just black. =\

If you press and hold on the art for a song, hold until the screen changes to a wall of images, and tap on the correct artwork
I only realised this myself by accident!
Only one think I miss in this app, is to set only one folder to scan for music (sdcard/mp3), because it shows sound files from other folders, which i don't want to listen to e.g. sound from satnav etc.

Search the Market, there's a lot of free apps there that you can choose from.
i allready did sch there
didn't find anything useful thats why i'm asking here maybe for some recomndetion
I'm using MixZing for playing music ...
funny these threads. listed as one of the main selling points of this device was mediascape. you must have read that but bought it anyway! did you not try the phone 1st? this is a prime example of why we all should! not having a go so dont start flaming! expressing my opinion. there is no app within the app store that will deliver anything near what mediascape does right now so for this phone its the best you gonna get! in time when custom roms are being made then we may see the likes of what htc have to offer. we are also currently lacking in apps that do offer more but hopefully corecodec will develop an app for android! until then and until custom roms are available i would just stick with mediascape. no matter how much you hate it, the alternatives are even worse!
edit:
some coredec images for the cp2.0 for android.

playlists
Sorry for hijacking this thread but my question is to do with mediascape.
Anyone figure out how to create playlists in mediascape yet?
The only thing I have found that comes close is starring tracks as favourites, but that only generates one list.
Am I missing something or is it not possible? Cheers.

Yeah... I don't think that's possible. Which kind of sucks but something I can live with. I mostly just use Spotify anyway.
And I also want to know about any good picture gallery. I had one but it wasn't really good at all.
Ah, fair enough. At least it's not me going daft. I was searching Google and the results were implying that you could generate lists but they must have meant that it could be done via media go software.
As far as media players go i would consider that to be a basic feature that is required (especially if you have a large library).
As for the gallery I can't say I'm too impressed with that either. However I did like the one previewed on the mini. Hopefully that will be included in future updates, if there are to be any.
Just typing this on the phone itself using the HTC keyboard. The only thing missing are the directional arrow keys, tapping the screen in the correct place is hit and miss for me.
You can generate Playlists with the Astro Filemanager, which you should have installed anyway...
Yeah I do have that instaled. I'll try that out. Cheers mate.
PiQture is pretty good photo viewer.
I found se's other music player in the phone but cant shortcut to it to use it easily.
Im using the file manager by nalic (green and blue pie chart icon). Navigate to system/media/audio/ringtones (ogg) and play one, a different player called music opens to play it, now leave the file playing and pull down the notification tray and touch the play icon then press the left menu key then library button and you are in.
Now this player will be listed in the recently used app list (hold middle button) unless it gets moved off the list by opening more than 6 more apps without opening it again to bring it to the front of the list.
I like this one better than mediascape as its less cluttered and straightforward and you can create playlists which are drag and drop editable and show up in mediascape.
It would be nice to get to it easier though.
There is also a video player and picture viewer but they are very simple with few options.

Hope this helps.
One of my main reasons for wanting the X10 is mediascape. Since I've only seen videos, and you guys actually have the X10... I'm looking forward to hearing why Mediascape is a poor media player and gallery. It certainly looks more robust and feature filled than any of the current media players I've seen.

it is possible but via media go I think, I spent ages trying to work out how to get a playlist set up but I think you have to literally set up a play list on your pc, then transfer that playlist on to the phone (?) only reason I say this is because there is a playlist option in the library in media go. Unfortunately I'd already moved my music across before noticing this so didn't want to double it up or remove it and start again.
I found an app called mortplayer which is free and works a charm for music

Or get a file manager from the market and follow my instructions above, any playlists created will be automatically integrated into mediascape.
Its easy once you suss it. !
Hi,
Anyone know how to disable the mediascape from caching thumbnail for music file ? I think this would vastly improve the speed, as mediascape would only have to read the tagging info and not the image/albumart.
I tried to set the folder as read only, but it doesn't work, the phone still write to it
Hi all - I've sussed this out (alternate Music player and playlists)... download an app called "AnyCut" from the market... in here you can add all sorts of different things.. one of which is under the "activity" option.. called "Music" this is the stock android music app (mentioned by baggyb above).. this way you'll have a link to the music app on your home page which you can then use to create your playlists...
All these work arounds to create playlist are fine but the main PIA is when I want to add tracks to Current Play list while listening to music. Can't be done. I hope SE will soon release a upgrade to address some of these basic issues.
Also, when you try to add contact as Shortcut on Home Screen it brings up list of all contacts and there is no search or 'letter' list on side to select the names. You can to scroll all the way down to select names. I guess SE QA and design team tested the phone only with one track of music and one contact in address book.
Does anybody else use this and does the "coverflo" only show the 1st 100 songs stored on the phone as it only seems to on my machine ???
Ehen I go further into the app it does then show all my music
Cheers
Dave
Hello Dave! The same on my Desire, and i got like 400 songs, but on the main screen of the player is shows 1/100. So i'm using meridian player, which is reading the play lists from sd. But i will like to have access on the player (like on the phone one) while the screen is locked

I wonder how to make Android music app OR Htc Music app read album art/cover? Do I just put in a jpg in the music folder or how do I do?
Thanks!
embed the album art into the ID3 tags.
I think itunes and winamp do this.
there is a nice music player called cube on the market
Does anybody know a music player that doesnt skip music while BT connected to my FM carkit?
I tried two carkits but only if i reset the Desire will i have no music skipping. But only until the next time I start the connection again. Then it is back to skipping.
I tried another phone (Palm Pre) with both kits and it works like a charm.
I can only remember problems with HTC and BT A2DP ! Had it before with HTC Windows Mobile phones as well and waiting for an update is not an option with HTC.
So maybe this is the wrong thread ....

You have proably already done this but have you disabled the wireless when connected. I also reconnected my phone to my bluetooth car stereo and it now works fine with no skipping

mine did this, got stuck and forced closed when you scrolled past a certain number. having said that,i can't find out how to get in to coverflow now! how do you access it?!
finally figured it out
open the music player as normal and press the bottom left key on the screen (the one with 3 lines)
When the next menu pops up press right once so the album list is present
Then press the menu key on the front of the phone (actual button) and press 'play all'
and it will return to the player with all albums ,now able to swipe through each
Got it!

nice one. so cover flow is for a play list, almost. if you're browsing by track or have told it to okay all albums then it works. kind of makes sense, that

tried that. also tried airplane mode but doesnt really make a difference; it comes and goes.
the desire player must have good and bad days wrt to the skipping but what makes the difference i do not know (yet)
this used to be an old habit of WM phones. Never have it with my Palm Pre.
HTC Android no guarantee either
try bTunes app. Looks like an ipod touch and has a lot of good features, such as reading a specific folder on the sd card, and can pull album art from last.fm i think it is. Lock screen controls too. its less than £2 i think.

Thanks for the heads up. I like the iPod style music player just for simplicity. Like the lockscreen controls too. Shame it doesn't have a homescreen widget!
Hi all,
Is there any alternative coz Mediascape is boring and slow.
For images: JustPictures!
For video: RockPlayer
For music: MixZing
Unfortunately, in order to replace Mediascape, you need 3 different programs.
But if you really hate it, it's worth it.
I don't mind Mediascape for my pictures, but for your music and video I suggest Meridian.
I keep it for photos and videos but for music I've gone back to the stock Android music.apk. I gotta have my playlists!
Zimly looks cool too, and I just dl the latest beta from real player from the market which I will test today...

Since my W810 ( > W760 > C905 ) I've never needed anything other than my phone to make a playlist. I've never needed any of SE's software (besides the actual firmware on the phone of course ;-) ) to transfer music, etc. When I'm working out or sitting in the doctor's office its nice to be able to grab a couple of songs from Amazon, make a playlist, then go back to playing a game or surfing the web.
Besides, my first exposure to Android was this forums project placing 2.2 onto the Tilt 2. The default player is pretty good as far as I'm concerned.

Ahh gottca. Can't make playlists in Mediascape...I see what you mean now.
I use an app called Just Playlists that works for me. But I hear the problem..seems odd that Mediascape does not make them inhouse.
I use Museek for music, great player. Both Mediascape and Timescape are useless.

Nope, the camera works perfect without Mediascape.
I uninstalled it and now found out, that the only problem is that I can't send my music files via Realplayer.
There is no "send file" option in Realplayer.
Apart from that, Realplayer is better than Mediascape for pictures and music imho.
For videos Realplayer can't play I use Rockplayer.
Btw:
If you uninstall Timescape you won't be longer able to use your contacts.
Clicking on a contact in the phone app does nothing.
Before I uninstalled timescape, my phone displayed the available phone numbers and I was able to click the one I want to call.
Thanks for hit on Just Playlists.
I went back to Mediascape just to show it one of my iFriends ( ) and found that it pulls up the playlists generated by the music.apk. So while its a tiny bit cumbersome it does make it more usable.

mixzing for music
rockplayer for videos

I just tried this on my N7. I started Google Play Music playing local mp3's stored on the N7. I was able to then switch to the open tasks and choose one and the music kept playing. I was also able to touch the Home button and went to the home screen with the music still playing. I could start any other apps and the music still played. Not sure what is happening with yours. Are you sure you weren't streaming over wi-fi? I'm stock rom, rooted.
