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.

Best Music Player App

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.

3 by filipe abrantes

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.

Meridian Widget Problem

My 1x4 Meridian Widget Music player auto closes everytime I unlock the screen. I would start the music, lock the screen (Plays fine), and when I unlock the screen it will close itself like 5s later. I have a task manager but Meridian is ignored and it doesn't autoclose apps... Its really annoying but I don't want to get another music player cause this widget fits my desktop.
Thanks

Any chance you're using SetCPU? Also, are you using the "conservative" or "pioneer" version? The pioneer one is more of a beta version, so try the conservative version, see if that might fix it.

I'm using meridian music player which only has 1 version not the other one with 2 versions. Not using setcpu

i'm using it and got no prob o.0
reinstall it

Why not use MixZing? It looks cleaner than Meridian (which I formerly used) and more importantly, has an equalizer.

I've tried a few, and always come back to Meridian as it's a much better player imo. Doesn't look the best unless you use the 4x3 or 4x4, but do prefer it to others.

Music player widget

Are there any recommended widgets that you can theme and design that work with the Touch Wiz player?
I'm not looking to change music players, do don't suggest any, thanks.

Have you tried Pure Music Widget? It works pretty well.

Try out Galaxy S Music Widget on the market...

There's the link to it

A flash from what to what? If you're using a different launcher now, the music widget only works with the standard SE launcher.
