Im having some problems with the normal Music v2.2 app that comes with Cyanogen RC1... its pretty basic, the widget is flaky, etc. so im looking to replace it.
I checked Market real quick for some other Music Players and there are quite a few that come up - some free, some paid.
... so, basically... Im just looking for some feedback on whats the "best" one out there? Is there possibly one out there that is really just that good? Or, personal recommendations on whats worked best for you, etc.
Thanks again for the help!
I have Mixzing and liked it enough to get the paid version its nice you can set it to look at different folders for music and ignore others. I hated the default app that came with my phone i had a few audiobooks, pre-audible, that would shuffle in when playing from my collection. Very annoying to go from music to spoken word when you expect music. it does all your basic functions and such has some other features but i never got into the more premium stuff.
+1 for mixzing, very nice app, and I have the free version. If you're just looking for plain, good-looking simplicity though, not features, Try zimly (free in market).

I actually didnt try either of those 2 that you recommended, but am about to here in just a few mins. I donwloaded "Music Player" which was highly rated and talked about a good bit - but its volume is horrible. Even after going in to settings and moving their volume up and having media volume up I have to have the volume knob in my car all the way to the right. I thought this was weird so I switched back to the one that comes with CM6, freakin almost blew my speakers. It seems like each app is using the volume different, which is weird. And I definitely went through all the settings to ensure that the volumes were all the way up.
I listen to audio books a lot as well - I freaking love them!!! Makes my car ride to and from work so much better its stupid... but I know what you mean when it comes to them switching from word to music, etc. haha!
Is this volume issue common? Is there anything that will actually boost the volume past the normal max level?
Thanks

Just wanted some opinion on which music player you use and why?
I like TW:
Equalizer
Quick controls in 'lock screen'
Sounds better in Bluetooth
Colorful
I use PowerAmp, and i like a lot. It have lots of features and sounds awesome. PowerAmp + Voodoo sound = Epic Music Playback. I did have to tweak power amp a little to achieve musical orgasm, but, im a musician, so it wasn't a tough task.
i was using winamp because it's easy and has wireless sync (and i use winamp in windows), but am now uploading all of my songs to google music beta. i plan on still using winamp for listening to music thats on my phone, but the gmb app for when i want to stream.
also, winamp has the lock screen controls, but i turned them off because cm7 has lock screen control built in regardless of what music player you use.
TW too, we have the same reasons.

Fedes music player clone of wp7
i like touchwiz...
i also like miui coz it has a widget, and you can limit the size of file/songs that will be in the music app....
on touchwiz , my downloaded ringtones plays too which is ughh LOL.. and if i put the nomedia thing on the file , then the ringtones wont be selectable on sound settings..
but i like how touchwiz has a volume slider while the miui one doesn't...so i pick touchwiz, just downloaded galaxy s music widget app.. hehe
I like the TW music app.
I think I should try Poweramp and see how it sounds.

PowerAmp. Especially because it has awesome lockscreen controls.
PowerAmp!!
Good lockscreen controls are paramount for me since I ride a motorcycle. And between all the players with lockscreens PowerAmp has the most guts when you open it up and play with it.
Wow lots of Music Player that I didn't know about
As for PowerAmps, I've try it before but it was using too much CPU resource. Has that been fix or resolved?
Beats by Dre fix for Android/MyTouch 4G?
Everytime I connect the headphones the headset icon shows up but doesn't allow the mic to be used, nor volume control. Anybody know a fix for this for MT4G or maybe Android overall itself? Btw its Beats by Dre Solo if it matters.
Thanks.
Please let me know if anyone is able to fix this. I'm sure plenty of Android users could user this fix

Currently I am running the Creamed Glacier ICS 4.0 Rom. But before this Rom I was running Stock (where it didn't work) as well as CM7 (didn't work as well). Volume control and mute works fine but caller is unable to hear me through the headset. Does it work for you guys?

Do you guys really think it has to the with the ROM? I'm most concerned with using the headset to speak with people. I can hear everything from the call but can't speak through the headset.
Aye bro I have the same issue, I think all 3.5 sense roms have that issue

Cause beats suck go buy some klipsch or jbl's or Bose .... but from what I know about audio (which is a fair amount) look at the headphone cable from the beats if there are 3 rings then that means you have a microphone channel if not then your headphones don't have a mic. 1st ring is left channel 2nd is right and 3rd is mic

Oh the mic works fine, it's the volume up and down that does not work?? Skip and answer call is grand.

I am some of the same issues as well. I am able to play & pause, but volume controls and mic does not work for me. I have the iBeats, and would like to use it to its full potential. Is just compatibility issues?

I have found Ubermusic to work well but still no volume up\down. Sound quality is great as well....
I have found this thread while looking further. Has some light to as to why they do not work. Look at post #6 by djfazzyf has to say as to why.

I've been looking for this answer for a while now. Best option: DSP Manager.
Thanks
Sent from my HTC ThunderBolt using XDA Premium App
DSP manager is great
also winamp pro has a built in equalizer that will allow you to boost overall volume of the music you listen to.
There are kernel mods you can use for this, but I've found them to distort the sound at high volumes. The only reason you'd want this is to play sound at higher volumes, so it seems like it's counter productive
I've recently tried out the power amp trial to see why its the people's choice for "best music player." Maybe it's because it's the trial but I don't see and significant things that make it better than the standalone stock player for the galaxy s3.
On the poweramp, you can adjust the EQ or use presets, same goes for the s3 player. Theres also the bass, treble, volume and x-stereo (not sure what that is) and on the stock player there is the 3d, bass, reverb, size of room, and clarity.
Am I missing something? Is it the looks that people go for on the poweramp? Or is there some special key features that other players don't have.
I'm not sure if I want to purchase the unlocked poweramp if it isn't much superior than the stock player. Only thing thats neat to me are the different sizes of widgets and customization for them.
What do you guys think?
Ummm, about everything. Sound quality, customization of the music and metadata, aesthetics, and especially the navigation and accessibility of your files.

honestly, it sounds to me like you don't really care what the best music player is. if the stock player satisfies you, then by all means stick with it. it is NOT bad. it is also not for everyone
I like the crossfade/gap-less playback personally
How can software effect sound quality the only factors that should effect sound quality for digital music is bit rate, digital to analog converter and the tiny little amp inside our phones since the software only messes with the sound once you start funking it up with the EQ

You are kidding me right? Poweramp significantly makes all music sound way better! Even my car stereo with two subs sound way better with Poweramp.

How can software make sound better?! You're kidding right?! Have you heard of Beats? The hardware can do so much, but the processing (compression, equalization, etc) is all done via software. PA is miles ahead of the competition for true audiophiles.
These music players should NOT have any effect on music. If you shape the sound (EQ) you are losing bit depth plain and simple. That's why the whole beats app is a joke to me. The term beats and audiophile do not belong in the same sentence.
That said "better" is a subjective term and not everyone enjoys a flat eq curve, especially people with dual subs jamming to rap. Subjectively power amp SHOULD be the same as any player playing the same content with no EQ.
Also, you can control the player while the phone is locked (paid version)

So does every other music app. The key to good sound is headphones. My Klipsch reference headphones sound awesome no matter what app I use. Anymore you pick an app based on feature set. If yours does what you want then screw other apps.

erichj - I agree.
The main reason I bought it was for streaming my music in my car via Bluetooth. It connects and starts playing instantly without touching anything.
Poweramp is cool but, I prefer playerpro. The soft bass I get on playerpro is better than poweramp
I'm kinda debating between player pro and n7player now..
I don't really like the folder view in poweramp, and no lock screen controls was kind of sad too

Poweramp definitely has lock screen controls...I'm guessing most of you didn't try to learn how to use the app before posting.

You obviously didn't use the software. It does those 2 things better than any player out there.
UI, Preferences, plays voicemail received in Exchange (vs Remote Wave) and just got very use to it on my DX.

Well both software and hardware affects the music. But honestly without the hardware, theres no sound.
Seems like ill be sticking with the stock player for now and switch over to n7player or poweramp later on. gapless play back is a plus tho
