Cubed "3" Music Player

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?

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.

[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!

Can't set volume of musicplayer precisely enough

My problem: 10/15 is not loud enough and 11/15 is too loud
Any app that can set it more precisely or maybe another musicplayer?

Nope, just some presets.

Try PowerAMP, which has A LOT of options

[Q] Shake n Play

having gravitated over from using Miui on my XT720, I now have an Atrix. Only problem I am having is finding a music player that I can shake to change a track when the screen is off (say if I am driving for e.g).
My Miui player used to do it on old phone but sadly, once the screen goes off, it doesn't work on the Atrix.
Any help would be appreciated.

music player pro has this option, i believe, but it's a paid app. The miui player worked for me, but only when there was no security lock. Alternatively, you might try shake 2 play next on the market.

thanks for the quick reply... I have just tried player pro... same result maybe it's a setting in the atrix I have missed?

anyone able to help?

turn off any pattern, fingerprint, or pin lock you have, and this will work.

If you install cm7 you can use the volume rocker to change songs and volume. Just set it up on settings

Favorite music player

The stock music player seems limited to me. I use player pro. It has plenty of customizations and is light. Share the name of your favorite music player and the reason why

I use Shuttle+. Very clean interface and plays my music! Not only that, but the dev is very active on adding new features, like folder browsing is coming in the next version. Highly recommend you give it a try, and there is a free version. Pro is 99 cents.

I switch between Neutron and Poweramp. Neutron has arguably the best audio quality of all the players on the market, but the UI leaves a lot to be desired. Poweramp, while not as good as Neutron in terms of audio quality, provides probably the best balance in terms of sound and UI.

I use PowerAmp, as it has a great interface, lots of features, and varied widget options. Haven't felt a need to switch from it yet.

I using MyPlayer because ir have a different but useful way forma making playlists.

Are you referring to Google Play Music? If so, it is my go to when I want to play one of the 11K songs on my desktop, especially since Audiogalaxy abandoned me again.
As far as an offline player, Nexmusic is my current favorite and believe me, I tried just about them all. It has most or more of the great features that the big boys (e.g., PlayerPro, Poweramp) have and it's free. Although PlayerPro is pretty nice if you don't mind the price.

I've been enjoying the N7player on an S4 Active very much.
Coming from Neutron player on a galaxy S2 and wanted to try something different.
The equalizer isn't the best (Neutron's was very detailed, so I got spoiled), but there are better exclusive apps just for that and the built in has many presets and effects.
Easy to use and browse music
playlist creation comes quicker than most with lots of longpress options
album art is presented well
lock screen interface is a nice treat
simple, minimalistic and dark

So for the people who use poweramp and neutron, how different is the sound quality on both players? I currently use poweramp. Also most of my music is in FLAC. Would I benefit more from neutron?

Nexmusic, it does what i need it to do and it does it very well :good:

Anybody tried Rocket Music Player before? It's awesome, you can attach special presets to each and every song and can also upgrade to a 10-band equalizer from 5 bands. It's UI is also beautiful and customizable thanks to themes. I personally use the Light Blue theme thanks to my exposure from using Apollo

Power amp + a faux sound enabled kernel ( with faux sound app ) = bam loud as sound I mainly use it for line out aux sound to the stereo at work

Ive always used Poweramp. Why? It was one of only a couple of players with a built in equalizer when it came out. I paid for it so I just kept using it
Lately though Ive been all about the Google Play Music app. Cant beat having my entire music library there without using up all my phones storage. The interface is actually really really nice and easy to navigate. Built in equalizer is nice too. Its definitely my go to player since they updated the interface. Not to mention the All Access feature now. A little pricet at $8/mo but I'm enjoying the trial I finally activated.

I use Apollo built into CM10.1. Basic, works for me. I absolutely hate Google Music. Even with music on my SD card, and not allowing it to sign in to my account somehow it managed to show up in Data Usage as using 500mb+ of my data plan. Never again. It's disabled now.

I had the same issue with Google music a while back... that is one of the first apps I kill now on my phone. Fool me once and all that...

for local music I actually prefer the stock Samsung player. for streaming its slacker.
I'm just amazed that play STILL can't transition from shuffle to "in order" without having to clear the que. that is the single thing preventing me from using that for everything.

Come on....... Power amp :thumbup:
SGH-M919_Omega, the end result

poweraaaamp

equalizer music player is what i use cuz its a really great app and is free. and also works great with the volume increasing mod i use.

JetAudio Music Player Plus
JetAudio Music Player Plus (paid version) - 20-band EQ (10-band in Free Version, I think), 32 presets, 4 Customizable presets, Stereo Widening, Reverb, Bass, AGC, Crossfading, Gapless, Balance control, Sleep timer, etc...
I use it along with ViPER4AndroidFX and ViPER4AndroidXHiFi MOD, if you have not tried this, you are missing out. Blows out everything of the water. I've never heard earphones sound so good. Even if you prefer another player, use this FX Mod, you will be amazed at the difference this makes.
EDIT: Just to clarify a bit more. ViPER4AndroidFX/XHiFi is an Audio FX app a bit like Equalizer, Music FX, Beats Audio?, etc... they improve audio effects coming out of the phone - globally, across all apps. It is not a music player.
