How do you feel about the new google music app? - Desire HD General

I downloaded yesterday, and it's ages better than the old stok music app, but i feel its really "heavy" its the app that runs less smooth on my phone, somehting im bummed about is that the album art looks too small, i want it bigger ala winamp also the widget is HORRIBLE , it's been the same since android 1.5, we need more choices, there's not even a previous track button on the widget!

What music app? Android one or HTC? And choose htc music widget, it have back button.

Are you talking about the new Google Msuic player that's in beta?
I think it's awesome. For better sound get MusicFX from the market.

I'm not sure. I'm in france, I can't find Google Music application on the market. Of course I still can install it with an apk but it's different...
Unless you're talking about stock music player and not google music service ?

HTCs player looks much better.
its a lil bit slow.
also dont like the landscape interface.

Widget please for the new music player in 2.2

I love the new music player and its features but for the life of me I don't understand why a widget was not included with this player.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
I guess because the widget was for the android 2.1 player not the samsung player that comes with 2.2. Not to mention that would make it redundant having the controls in the notification bar after you start the app and a widget. What the should do on the other hand is give you the option to always have the controls shown in the notification bar. I also would have preferred a auto-rotation toggle over volume toggle... Because the volume buttons did a good job of that on their own, but now the simple task has become more complex and redundant...

Cough up $5.00 for PowerAmp and leave all default players as an afterthought.
Seriously, PowerAmp should be default. It's just that damn good.
Download Pure Music Widget from the market. Its a dollar, runs flawlessly, has like half a dozen widgets you can choose from and is awesome. Also works with almost every stock player on any device. Was actually my first purchase on Android.
Just get MusicMod. Free... Awesome...

I second the need for a default widget, its crazy. The samsung music player is really nice, I rather use it than another one. I like the idea of always being able to keep the controls in the notification bar as an alternative to a widget though.

I got player pro but I'm really loving the look of the new player so yes a widget would be great.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
I agree, the new stock player is nice. It is however lacking 2 important features for me though, the widget and headset controls. If they updated it to include those features, I'd drop winamp in a heartbeat. But until then...

Doubletwist for me. Lockscreen controls, nice simple widget. Player is free and I got the wireless sync with doubletwist desktop for $0.99. I found the sync works better than the Winamp one for me.

Exactly.. I hav always used "Mixzing" since the 'Moment' 1st came out & I went to Android.. but for the 1st time, the stock player really has my grasp.. I'm a Producer/mix engineer so I know what i hear as far as music goes (not sayin no one else does as well) but the look, function & the 5.1 thing did itfor me.. 5.1 feature is 2nd to none with any of the players mentioned period...

Google Music, Camera and more to be on Market

Android and Me has recently posted information on their site that the new Music, Camera and Gallery apps will soon be available on the Android Market.
The aim is said to help remove fragmentation but also allow users to install these apps on Sense, Touch Wiz and other versions of Android.
I've tried the new Music app (the only one that appears to be leaked at the moment) and it's working a treat on my CM7 ROM. I now have two Music apps as one is registered as com.android and the other as com.google.
Hit up the Android and Me website for further info that I can't type in fast enough.
Enjoy

Just installed the music app on coredroid 5.8
It works pretty nice, and it is beautiful. I can finally see some nice design in googles latest android work. My hopes for icecream are big.
Aaaanyways: Does someone happen to have the camera app as well? The techfrom10 servers are down.

same here. Only the music app works for me.
music worked for me (stock 1.3~ rom)
gallery just FC'd
camera installed...but didnt actually do anything other than mess up the camera's recording ability (dropped to 1-2fps!)
once uninstalled the camera error remained
flashed android revolution 3.3 to bring the camera back
music works again
not going to bother with gallery and camera now! lol

MIUI vs TW vs Others music player

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!!
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?

PowerAmp is ok, but for really good music experience the better is PlayerPro
coming from iOS i was missing the music, but PlayerPro really delivers an unique
experience on its own: lyrics on demand, artist image, album grid (the coverflow locks so awsome but is so useless sometimes) and the best: the widgets of different sizes and even on lockscreen... and all the interfase almost full costum to your likings
i unninstalled the connected music player from my defy+ and oh boy, i really dont miss it, just a tip for people whom really dont use built in fm nor internet radio
i found this apk on google
the apk mentioned above did not work for fm radio...
i got working fm radio here...

Best music player app?

I have a sony Xperia zl and music with the walkman app sounds amazing. Got the s4 now and using the winamp app music quality is poor. Please suggest the best music player for the s4.
Is there a way we can install Sony's walkman app on the s4?
Is rocket player app good?
Cheers mates...
Try this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5oZWRhbWkubXBydHJpYWwiXQ..
It's the most feature rich player I know.

Yup that works...Thanks a bunch...
in the past ive been able to install sonys walkman on all my devices although I have yet to try with the s4
Google "sony walkman apk" and you will be flooded with results
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2059203
Be carefull tho...domt wanna brick your device so I suggest at kost just installing the apk...wouldnt try the build.prop edits or other stuff yet
That version def requires more than just the app...but you can find standalone walkman apks on the web although they may be older versions

Only prob with power amp is that it jas a terrible shuffle system...go to the albums, then click on a song in an album...it finishes and shuffles and plays some random song from some other artist...I just wanted to listen to the album. Of cours you can long press the album and click play and that does the trick but to me thats just a hassle...idk maybe its been fixed as power amp didnt always have this problem...but that problem sure did chase me away

A little off topic but can any of the players mentioned here play tracks continuously? I have an album that contains songs mixed by a DJ but are separated into 25 tracks. The default player on the S4 always leaves a gap of about 1-2 seconds before moving onto the next track. Would like to be able to listen to the album without the silent gaps.

They all have trials - download and try them. I was using PlayerPro before I switched to Remix, but I tried all of them before I bought. I'm pretty sure PlayerPro and PowerAmp both allow changing the fade between songs.

I know that rocketplayer has a spot in settings where you can set it for gapless playback. I believe this is what you are asking for...
