x10 have different musuc player??

hi
i tried debranding rooting upgrafing etc...
right now im just on the generic uk r2ba023
and i noticed that i now have like five playlists on mediascape which i couldnt open nor delete
and then i was trying something else and i opened one of the alarm ring tones from a file manager...astro..
then somehow a different music player popped up
it looks nothing like mediascape and it doesnt have any ads
but the weird thing is that i cant see the application on my application menu and its not even listed on my task killer so i cant even close it...
of course i can stop playing music and it goes away but i cant close it using task killer like other normal apps....
anyone else know what this is and how i can make it appear on my app list??

That's the Android default music player. Nothing to do with root.
SE hid it, because they replaced it with Mediascape. Dunno how to get it to show up though.

oh okay
thank you!
well for now, i just go to astro, play some preloaded media, and it plays the android default player hehee...and I just sometimes use it to create playlists quickly from the phone

It's true!

Alternative to Mediascape??

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

What desktop program are YOU using to manage ur X10's music and videos?

I want to know of a good program to manage my music on my comp and x10, i use VLC atm but its not great, ive tried double twist and both the desktop app and the actual app are crap and im never guna use itunes, so let me know what you use recomend

I use mediamonkey...IMO it's the best music manager out there.
[http://www.mediamonkey.com/]
and on the x10 I sometimes use mediascape but prefer using btunes (its has an ipod like interface)
[http://www.btunesmusicplayer.com/features/default.html]

I just use the good old "copy and paste" method.

I'm using double twist. The android app is pretty and then I found out it had desktop software too. I came.

Same. As long as your tags are accurate than this is the simplest method.

I use mixzing and then itunes, agent which will sync my selected music.
I just wish songbird would support the x10.

Hey Findee, Songbird works perfectly well with my X10. What seems to be the problem for you?

+1 - Windows Explorer is the only tool I use

Am I right in assuming that those of you that only copy and paste...dont use playlists?

Double twist / iTunes & iPhoto on OSX.
I've got a media library of 10000+ lossless, I'd die of old age if i had to use copypasta and couldn't automatically transcode and sync playlists.

I use Media Go and Mediascape. Like with all new softwares, it took me a while to get use to the UI of both but now it's like second nature. I like media go's Gracenote since most of my music are downloaded from Youtube videos. Gracenote puts the information automatically which allows phone to download the album art cover. I also like the ability to create playlist coz I like the option to be able to play music by mood.

I use good ol' Total Commander
Left Pane: music directory on the PC.
Righ Pane: music directory on the SD Card.

MediaGo people give it alot of flak, but I think its not that bad. Get my podcasts,music,playlists,pictures and videos organized and auto syncs

I use the cut-and-paste method, and use playlists too. I simply create the playlists in Windows (e.g. use Winamp) and then cut-and-paste the m3u playlist file to the phone as well. Mediascape detects the playlist fine.

i need a good MEDIA Player, and a good sync client.
I have more than one device, i have a milestone as well. and i change devices like the wind.
lastly i have mood playlists and these msut be synced well.
so I use Windows Media Player in Windows 7. its magic.
Great Media Player, and does sync pretty well with the sync.
I have a problem with Double twist. Seems when it transfers m4a files encoded by Itunes, (I used to use OS Crap), it doesnt transger the tags. so half my librtary (Music I actually bought and encoded, vs downloading on the Bay) all gets lumped in the Unknown artist area, even though the tags are in the desktop app.
WMP doesnt sync playlists unless you use MTP protocol, (ie it will only transfer and check if the song in a playlist exists, but it wont actually tranfer the playlist file itself)
so i manually export the playlist files onto the device.
that way i have one media program on my computer.

[Q] What is the best music player for android HD2?

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.

Lithium Music Player

Yea your right mixzing is horrible too. Ill stick with stock for now.

Horrible?
Gapless playback, music suggestions, equalizer, id3tag editor (once you register it) and a lot of other things and you say that it's horrible?

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.

But you have to say that it isn't very fast, sometimes it stucks with loading music.

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!

Unknown Artist Problem

Just got my SGS2. Fired up iSyncr and iTunes and synced about 1600 songs to my new phone.
Media Scan then completed
I fired up powerAMP and PlayerPro and stock music player.
ALL of them showed 408 songs as unknown artist.
Yet on my Motorola Defy and in iTunes all the artists are perfect. I have formatted the sd card and resynced the music still no good.
Anyone else experienced this problem?

Yes, though I used TuneSync to move them over. I just removed album art from one album and had iTunes reload it automatically. Then I sync'ed again, now the music shows up. All of it, even the stuff that I didn't touch. Weird. (XWKE7, rooted)

How do you sync iTunes with this phone?
I haven't got the phone yet but it would be good to know

programs on the phone called isyncr or tune sync will do it.
though any m4a/acc music wont show artist names correctly.

Does it come pre installed?

no, they can be purchased from the market.

I'd suggest giving iTunes away, only gives you headaches if you aren't an iOS user. Better to have a properly curated tag collection...

itunes isnt a problem for me. in fact i love it. isyncr has always been brilliant at keeping my android and itunes libraries in sync. Its just this sgs bug that is causing trouble. Hope samsung fixes it soon.

Same here, NickChaplin. TuneSync worked flawlessly on Cyanogenmod.

The same here, all the songs i bought from iTunes my SGSII won't recognize the artist name.... On my Desire it works perfect.

poweramp solves all problems. Better than any stock music player.

nope, poweramp, player pro, winamp, double twist AND stock media player ALL have the same problem.
Thats because its a problem with the way the media scanner reads the ID3 tag of the m4a file and then adds it to the android music library that ALL the above media players read from.

What? I had the same issue with my vibrant. Poweramp automatically fetches album covers. Even random mixtape songs.
I agree it should work by default. But its hit or miss with devices. Poweramp solves this problem by fetching the album covers.

sorry, all my music already has album art.

Try MediaFix from the Market.

Try MIUI Music APK. That always popped out artist info, lyrics, CD art, and everything else automatically for me. Well, 90% of the time at least.

There is a bug in Android's media indexing & storage service. Sometimes it doesn't get the artist. Some apps like Mediafix or TuneSync index the music themselves and put the correct artist in the service's database. Until the bug is fixed, the only way to solve the problem is to either use players that don't rely on the service or to fix database yourself with the appropriate applications. MIUI's player will only work better if it doesn't rely on Android's internal indexing. I'm pretty sure it does rely on it.
