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, after upgrading to GB from Wolfbreaks TW09 I've experienced some problem in the music player. For starters, there is no way to control the music from lock screen (and yes, I've tried "simply lockscreen").
I cant switch songs with the volume buttons,
and last but not least; The music player widget doesnt show up on other launchers (zeam, adw, etc)
Is there any ways to fix this?
Best regards from Norway <3
Hi
I found that it's possible to get control of music player not only of default music player, but at least other players like Play Music directly from lock screen and smar cover ...
I haven't tried on other players yet like poweramp, etc.
The way to do it right is installing updated aviate launcher and running the player from Spaces/Listening field :good: :good:
You have kit ket or lolipop ??

Am looking a Music Player like Samsung one. With folder that can be used on AOSP ROMEO any subjection.
I used Poweramp for years and couldn't find anything to even near match it. But about a month ago I found BlackPlayer EX and it's the best player I've used for sure.
it's real good
My favorite has been Phonograph. Specially that blur media art on lock screen it looks cool
Does any one know any other music player that has the same feature of lock screen blur media/album art?
Greetings.
Aimp has been my favorite Android player thanks to its folder-based playlist design, flexible equalizer and ease of use. Recently I purchased Kospet Optimus, but came across an inability to control Aimp playback with a system music widget. I can only control the default Music app with it, but not Aimp: if I try to use the widget while Aimp is playing, it will switch the playback to the music in a default Music app, and if I revoke the Music app permissions, the widget wouldn't work at all. I took a short video to illustrate the matter, but XDA says I can't post links until I reach 10 posts.
I could simply use Aimp without the widget, but I need volume controls to be in the same place as playback controls, because it's inconvenient otherwise. So how can I make the default music widget work with Aimp? By the way, it's the same situation with other players.
Regards.
