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.

No music player in lock screen?

Has anyone noticed that when playing music, the player does not appear on the lock screen itself? Is there any way to get it to appear? I've always been able to move to another track from the lock screen on HTC phones.
I'd prefer not to download a 3rd party music player.

U can drag the notification bar down and control from there but yea I like when it's right on the lock screen itself so I got poweramp

Not on mine....

Man this sucks. How could they not put the music player right on the lock screen. I want to be able to hit the power button, and hit next track. I think the next quickest way is to just put the music player as one of the lock screen shortcuts.

poweramp

The music player shows up in my lock screen as well. I use pin method of lock what type are you?

You could always download Wave Control from the play store... hover your hand over proximity sensors to play/pause music and wave once to skip songs... plus it works when the screen is off as well. There's a free and Pro version but the free version will do whatever u need.

Cloudskipper. Best music app i've used in a while, and best of all, it's FREE. Awesome lockscreen control too. No need for PowerAmp.

Just tried cloudskipper and I have to admit I like except it doesn't have a folders tab but for a free player pretty nice but I still prefer poweramp

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?

MX Player?

Hi,
So got my i9505 today, previously had the i9100.
I've got an issue, whereby when I am in a browser and I want to play a video, MX player doesn't play despite being set as the default player, instead it's video player that plays the video.
I've reset defaults for MX and set it as default again, to no avail... I can't seem to disable the Video Player app in App Management as I'm sure that would probably work... I'm guessing I'd have to be rooted... Which I don't really want to do just yet.
Anyone got any suggestions or advice?
Thanks in advance!

Whenever I go to settings > more > Application Manager > all
I choose video player, and everything is greyed out, can force stop only...which results it starting up again when video is played.
I can't disable it, can't even untick show notifications.

Yeah, just played around with Firefox and Dolphin and they seem to have it as it should be.
So to disable the stock video player, i'd have to root, then I can freeze it?
(rather not really root a phone i've hard barely a day, was waiting for root and customization when I get bored of TouchWiz).

The default browser on the S4 is based on Chrome, not the AOSP browser. That's why flash doesn't work, why clicking two close links shows a magnifier like Chrome, and why scrolling sucks in it.

Everyone have their own preferences but personally, I like ROCKET PLAYER.

I use poweramp, too. I like the stock player as it uses adapt sound, but I cannot use the wanam settings for skipping tracks with volume rocker on stock player. So I usually use stock player when I use the display while listening to music, and for all other cases (car, listening in the dark, ...) poweramp.

Try Neutron or PowerAmp.

of course "power amp" is the best

mmm idk. poweramp skipped for me from time to time. i tried a couple of players including jetaudio. it supports shake to switch track, flac, coverart, playlists, folders, etc, but still sometimes skips with the shake to switch track feature. not really happy about any of them.

I have the paid poweramp version but I think the stock player the sounds better. Use them in multi window and alternate playing same song so you can judge for yourself which one sounds better. But if you're not looking for sound quality Poweramp has more features and looks better.

GoneMad Music Player is the best for me:good:

for me the stockplayer is working great.....:good:

For convenience and general usage, Google music is better since you could have cloud and stream for free. If you are a little serious about music, I think Neuron would be the choice because of the high quality playback.

If u equalize it properly any player will rock. Poweramp well adjusted is the best for me. Stock sounds good but PA has more options..
