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...

may be bcos its not final yet??

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...

Winamp has been working out for me. 2 widgets to choose from and lockscreen controls. Oh, its free too.

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.

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...

I agree 100%. I bought it and love it!

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.

The features in poweramp are nice as is the ui, but the sound quality of the oem samsung player cannot be matched.

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...

Well its not really worth having; its not really more than jus havin the app on a screen; thanks for the find but it needs work...

Music fix

Hello... i seem to be having trouble with my music. When i start playing it through the stock player and leave my phone alone to play some tunes... the phone will stop the music after about 3 minutes of playing. I have juice defender running and i set up the music player to continue running after the screen locks... does anyone have any idea what the hell is going on? Thanks for taking the time to help.

Most probably your stock musicplayer is in "auto end list" in task manager app, it autostops the apps in the list at about the time you mentioned. Hope this helps and solves your issue...

I looked at auto end list but it wasnt there. Do you know of any other good music player? I usually use subsonic to connect to my media server at home, it has an option to keep the screen on. but when I'm in the car i like to listen to my tunes without streaming...

No problem, I ended up choosing PlayerPro myself a while back out of those Top 3.
BTW, Grab the "DSP Pack" and you can really have some fun with the equalizer settings added on...

Sometimes auto-ending a certain other app also causes the music to stop. I don't remember what it was, but it may have been photo gallery, or some other such media.

Better music player than sense 3.0 one?

I kinda hate the UI on the thing, browsing for music is complicated to say the least.
What are other music player options available for android? I would prefer something free but if its a paid app I'm willing to pay for it.
Also some of my music has incorrect album info, any way to edit this on the phone manually?
Thanks guys

I use PlayerPro from the market. It's a paid app but well worth it. Very easy to navigate and you can edit the song tags in the app.

Can I edit stuff for example, I Have two songs from The Killers, one says the artist is TheKillers (without the space)?. This causes 2 different artists to pop up
Going to start reading some reviews.

I'll give another Hell YA on PlayerPro. No matter what rom i'm on i HAVE to have playerpro. its one of the apps that solidified my love for android and its customizability. PlayerPro is literally the PERFECT media player.
EDIT: and yes, you can edit all the info and tags on all your media very easily

sweet, going to download the trial when I get home later, may end up purchasing it

Poweramp is one of the best out there, unfortunately its paid
definitely worth it however

I use cloudskipper. It's free and has a built in equalizer and pretty sweet lockscreen controls

poweramp.. all the way! paid but well worth it. If the song has lyrics, it will scroll em. If you want it loud, use the preamp. If you want it REALLY LOUD, QPST mod!!!
Never heard ANY phone this loud!!!

PowerAmp is dope, been my fave since the day I loaded it. I'll have to check out Player Pro, looks clean.

+1 for PlayerPro.
I could tell you a million things that I love about it (and why I chose it over PowerAmp), but I'll let you try out the trial and decide for yourself.
The PlayerPro trial will play music past the seven days, but it loses functionality. Read the reviews for the paid one along with the trial - but take some of the trial reviews lightly, some people are using it past the trial period and it isn't working to its full potential.

I agree. I too have tried many of the music players and I kept going back to PowerAmp. Great music player. Lots of settings. Easy to use. The ability to sort by folder is awesome.

Google music beta is kinda cool. No issues so far. Even has search option. But no controls on lockscreen.

Best Music Player

Hello all. I'm looking for your opinions on which music player is the best out there.
While I like the interface of the stock TW music player, there's one thing that bugs the crap out of me. If a band name starts with the word "The", the band falls in the T's. For example, The White Stripes are in the T's not the W's.
So what are your thoughts? I've tries Poweramp and it's decent. But I'm looking to try others.

I use poweramp more than anything, lots of options and good UI , heres the link in play srore https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.maxmpz.audioplayer
Also the full base mod is awesome, here is the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2301190 a great app to use also is faux audio sound

The last two days I've been looking for good music player too.
I had been using n7player because I like the user interface of it. However since I added my external 64gb SD card I have not been able to add music to it from the card. I can play music off of the card using that player but it can't locate it automatically. It can locate music off the internal storage fine.
I tried Power amp and had the same problem. Winamp was able to identify the music fine.
Im assuming its a format issue as I'm using exFAT instead of fat32.
At this point I'll say Winamp but I like n7 player the best

I use tunewiki. Its easier to use and feels more stream lined imo plus it has lyrics which is nice

Of all the players I've tried I still prefer Neutron. Just seems to sound better. Subjectively, of course.
El Mono

MPlayer
I like the stock player on the Samsung Galaxy S4, but Winamp sounds just as good and the pro version comes with EQ. I would suggest just putting the first letter of the song before the word "the". So, instead of "The Black Crows" it would be "BThe Black Crows". This will fix the order of songs, but it does look awkward.

Player pro here. It also plays videos

Are you talking about google play music, couldnt find anything else in the play store

Thanks for all the replies folks. So far, nothing has topped Poweramp, though PlayerPro is intriguing.

Have you tried Music Player for Pad/Phone?

if you are still on the hunt for a music player l would recommend power amp. I have used it for years. You can do a trial and it is very cheap for the full version. Worth a look.

I personally use the Sony Walkman app. I haven't managed to get everything working on it yet namely the visualiser but yeh poweramp as suggested above is a cut above the rest :good:

I too was for the hunt of the perfect audio player for quite a while. Found that there is no "perfect" one ...but Power Amp is as close as you can get. It really lets you tweak it to a level no other player I used has. Trust me that is THE audio player. You won't regret spending those $4.
