ok just switched from a international galaxy s here, enjoying the amazing speed of the Epic, it's crazy fast but I miss many of the touchwiz features, like the music player, I loved the Equalizer and the UI of the touchwiz music player, but the biggest feature I miss is the music controls in the notification bar and lock screen, it made multitasking a joy !
any idea if we can install the touchwiz music player in our phones ? is there a APK or something ? will the status pull down controls and Lockscreen controls work ?
You could try searching the system dump of the i9000 t see if you can find the apks, but even then it might not work...

I sold my phone, I have only the Epic 4g now. I'll try over at the galaxy s forum.
i switch from the vibrant and thats the only thing i miss please if u find the way let us know
does the EQ work over other apps too? like Pandora?
I, too, would like to have that music player. I would also greatly enjoy having the video player so I can adjust brightness and have it save where I left off on the movie.
The stupid stock one we have restarts the movie every time I navigate away.

We should start up a bounty for this. I'd pay money to have the video player

If we could get a system dump of the I9000, we could try to port it to the The Boss ROM.
for video I'm using rock player, it's not as smooth in playing back certain filetypes as the stock player{only a few 720P MKVs everything else works perfectly}, but it has all those features like remembering where you left, adjusting brightness etc.
BTW I'm thinking the Froyo update should bring the music player, cause every other galaxy s has it ,there's no reason why the Epic shouldn't get it.
it the mean time I'm using MiXing along with quickdesk to control music playback in the background, which is nowhere near as not as good ,but it works.
also does anyone know a music player app that can play flac files ,thats another thing I miss ?
I'm going to try and port this over if I get the chance tonight. Ill report back my progress.

Guys, for video just get mvideoplayer from the market. Puts rokplayer to shame, handles everything including mkv with subs and resumes where you left off.
As for the music player, having never used or seen the music player on the other galaxy phones, i really don't know what i am missing as i am fine with the stock Android music player.
Is it possible to pull those features off the Fascinate because I think mine has them but he maybe talking about something else.

One that works even better is Wuzhenhua Player...I've yet to find a video that won't play using it. I tried the MPlayer that you suggested, but it wouldn't play videos that Wuz still does, so I'm sticking w/ Wuz.
It's not available on the market, but I found it using Google. The latest version, as far as I know, is 4.1 which has been converted to English...worked great on my Moment, and even better on my Epic.
I've tried attaching the .apk, but I keep getting errors...I'll try again later. EDIT: Got it attached.
Please post questions in General section.

Hey I was wondering what you guys thought was a great alternative to the stock Samsung music apparently. I'm looking for something that is very functional but is also very sleek and stylish. Also hopefully it comes with a widget as well. Let me know your thoughts! Thanks

theres always tunewiki
I would say MixZing. It is not the "sleekest" looking but it certainly is the best-SOUNDING. It has a full 10-band EQ with each band customizable to 12.0db. It also creates playlists based on what you are currently listening to and can get album art/info automatically + suggest new music you may not have. It has a lock screen widget for changing music without unlocking the phone (or you can use a separate program which allows you to switch the song by shaking your phone, even when off). Finally, the developers are VERY friendly and receptive to support and suggestions and are actively working to improve it.

i use one i wrote, but it tottaly sux...
The CyanogenMod Music application. Download CM5 for Nexus One, and install the Music.APK. Awesome look, nice standard functionality and excellent widgets.
Just out of curiosity, what is it about the stock music app that you don't like. I have tried a lot of music apps on the G1, but the stock one on the Vibrant is the best one I have used.
On the G1 and the Cliq I used MixZing and I thought it was great. At this point I'm using the stock player, seems to work pretty good. I would use MixZing or DoubleTwist, I've heard good things about that player.
+1 for the stock Vibrant music app.
The thing is that most of lyrics apps don't support this stock music player.
I tried Mixzing but I like 3 (cubed player).
meridian is pretty good. the headset controlls work for it.
I'm using MixZing, Cubed (3) and Stock player each had one problem I can't stand.
On the Cubed: it keeps recreating/duplicating my playlists, making several copies of each m3u list I have except only the last entry is useable.
On Stock: m3u files not recognized.
+1 for tunewiki, auto lyrivs and cover art download, widget looks ugly and no lockscreen controls though

One reason not to use the stock player is that it can't sort music by artist once your music library gets above a certain size. There is a thread in the Captivate section about this "Music Player -Not enough space in Music Database"
none of this would be a problem if google would get with the program. if the music player in android 3 is the same as android 1 then i hope someone slaps google with a wet noodle.
I just use Real player, works great for music, videos and pics, cant go wrong

Doubletwist is really good
I like MixZing mainly because it automatically retrieves album art and it has a decent widget. It also sorts music very well for me and the lockscreen widget is something I use a lot. My only gripe is that it's not very good looking.
Hey Fellas!
Any alternative for media center(pics, vids & music)?? I just dont like the mediascape.
Any genious opinions, any recmnds?
I've used several, but I think TuneWiki is pretty good, at least for music. I think it drains battery a little too quickly for my tastes however.
Every time I download another media player, I find myself slowly drifiting back to MediaScape. I wonder why.

If you don't like the stock Mediascape (which I think it's pretty reasonable in itself), then I can only recommend Meridian Media Player (search "Meridian" on Market). It's a fantastic app and is incredibly simple to use.
use mixzing for music
it has a full equalizer to make music sound better!! its free on the app store
I like mixzing cause it does have a good ui n equalisers a charm however the thing I want is in meridian. that is the ability to use normal earphones n have it pause when receiving a call. I usually end up pullin ma earphones out for answering call n if I'm slow at putting earphones back in, the rest of the crowd hear my music lol

I love the HTC Sense interface however I have found the music player to be difficult when it comes to editing playlists among other things.
Nitrogen is free and has a simple interface, though not as beautiful as Sense, the options and clarity of use trump the HTC music player. You can find it here:
www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-nitrogen-player.html

Rudy.
I rarely use my HD2 for MP3s and if I do it's primarily for playing Justin Beiber - 'Baby' to piss my friends off, Sense suffices nicely for that.
Ive only been using the sence player, because when i click next song on my bluetooth headphones, the sence player is the only one to respond
why isnt anyone using S2P? Love it! Using the latest version & it rocks. Great UI. No glitches. Awesome work with the covers etc. Best part is tht it plays audio off videos. I download a lotta music vidz but like to jst hear while walkin....this wrks wonders, coz unlike in WM player, TCPMP etc where if i turn display off, playback stops, here u can switch off & put the phone in ur pocket & still hear the audio
core player baby! all i do is lock the screen and wen i put it in my pocket or wen the screen goes blank, the music still plays
Nitrogen for me too
Pocket Player
It really does kick the lamma's ass.
great sound
lots of controls
including rewind and seek/resume
DSP effects surround sound is just the biscuit.
Video Playback is a software job but then again so are most.
Podcast down load straight from the menu...
The list goes on, for me Music and Audio Pocket Player. Video built in Windows Media Player, then you get the hardware acceleration you paid top money for.
does pocket player have built in shoutcast?

Hi everyone, I would like to know what is the best music player for ANDROID HD2?
The one it comes with is garbage....Any links would be helpful!!! TY ALL
I would recommend Mixzing Media Player. I currently use it on my X10 and feel its the best for music. Lots of options and has a good eq. And I know you didn't ask but Rockplayer for video. Plays it all.
ty i will check it out
I love the default player that comes with all sense builds.

I have tried almost every good music player there is (Mixzing, bTunes, Player Pro, TuneWiki, and some others I don't remember), yet I've come back to using the stock player. Graphically it's not the most appealing there is, but heck, it does what it has to do without all the unneccessary hassle the others have.

I absolutely hated this whole suggestions thing. It worked so unintuitively yet took a prominent role, and the suggestions weren't very relevant either.
Mspot is great. i like the way you can also play your music from the cloud.
mini player is my fav based on the fact that it looks at a directory that you point it to, rather than seeking for all media on your sd card like the android player does. also has playlist now.
3 or sometimes called cube by phillip abrantes is a cool player it's in the market
i like tunewiki
Music PlayerPro is my pick. Closest to the stock app. Shows album art. Has 4 decent looking skins. Has its own lockscreen with a widget. And best of all you can select the music folder to play from.
Mixzing was ok. Just did a little more than I needed. I just want to listen to my music and not my ringtones if you know what I mean. Keep it simple.
Try Audio Player with EQ Platinum. It has a very good equalizer.

Do you know that you can set the folder(s) to scan for media within the options?
Also, regarding suggestions you can also disable them. Do you guys just stop on the first screen or what?

Just wondering if you're talking about the stock sense music player or Mixzing? I've hunted high and low in the stock player and can't find anywhere to tell it where to look.
Horrible yes,ok it is good,but it does not support rewind and forward on my jabra bt 3030....only back skip,and forward skip.....the sense player supports all my jabra functions....

If you can afford it, Spotify without a doubt. It's all I use now!
I think the Note is a great device. I just could not fathom what the designers were thinking when they built the stock Music Player. It plays album tracks in alphabetical order, as opposed to the common track number order. I did not see any option in the UI to make it behave properly.
I am certain my MP3 with ID3 tags are fine. Because they played fine on the Galaxy Tab 10.1 and the Galaxy S II. My workaround to this quirky behavior of the stock music player... use an alternate Music Player from the Market.
same problem
Yup...mine has the same issue...all songs in all the albums are arranged alphabetically.
And there is no option of changing it. This is my first android and did'nt expect these kinda bugs.
Even my last phone, N8, had songs arranged by track number. Its really frustrating.
Anyone got a fix or do we have to wait for an update from samsung.
Btw another thing i noticed was that while viewing the music list while playing the music in the background, the bar at the bottom displays "song name _ artist". Should'nt it be a '-' instead of a '_'.
I noticed the same issue with the stock music player and also couldn't find a work around. I have therefore now started using Winamp which does thankfully play them in track order.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
So there's no other option but to use another music player.
And wait for samsung to fix this.
Slightly off topic, but this is one of the advantages of Android over iOS - if you don't like the stock application, you can simply use another!
I don't think I've used the stock music player for any Android device I own.
Regards,
Dave
Lol..ya dude...another way to look at it...
And which player do you suggest?
I went for "cubed" (or "3") from the market, mainly 'cos it looks really good - but it sounds good too once you tweak the EQ a bit (though I have found that it has a tendancy to lock up the player if you mess with the EQ settings too much on the graphical interface).
EDIT - I also found it to do a good job of sorting out the somewhat patchy album art I had on the 30GB library I'd copied over form my old N900 to my Note (once I discovered that to do this you hold and drag on the album to get to the art selection/download functionality). It doesn't have an auto mode to process all albums but the per-album manual method was quick & painless for those albums that required it.
Well the real problem that i saw after using the note is that in Artists view...the songs are arranged by track number...while in album view..they are arranged alphabetically....
The thing i wanna know is does 2.3.6 fix this or not...
Screen shots attached
Thanks

Ya i know it does that in artist view...it would not be a problem if some albums had different artists...then we have to open album view and listen alphabetically which sucks...and as Braxos pointed out power amp is using too much cpu for playing music...i just did'nt expect these kinda bugs when we're buying expensive smartphones...
Winamp sorts the music properly.

MixZing is what I'm using, GREAT audio player which boasts a 10 band equalizer ranging from 30hz to 16khz, an amplifier to boost the volume, and yeah the songs/artists are alphabetically in order too!
I strongly recommend this application.
Efficient Music Player For The Note?
Coming from an iPhone which can boast music for 20 hours in a real life scenario... is there any decent music player that is power efficient? Poweramp looks like a battery hog that i'm not using for sure. Thanks
If anybody has run a music playback time test please report.
