Is there an app for the HD which can handle my music like the iPhone does?
Sorted albums or genres etc.
Yea, there is TouchFlo 3D which comes pre-installed on the Touch HD.
The following tabs are available in the players menu: Now Playing, Artists, Ablums, Playlists, All Songs, Genres, Composers & Purchased.

its like the iphone player ,shows album art , when you touch album art it shows album tracks etc
the only problem is that it is at an early stage at the moment
Guys,
One thing I have noticed which is annoying the heck out of me, when I copy my albums into the Music folder on my memory card, with correct ID3 tags (i.e.e correct Album name, Artist etc..) it seems to show all the individual tracks from the album in the default music view with cover art.
Is there anyway to have it show only albums until you actually select one, then show you individual tracks?
That's weird. Mine shows albums in the horizontal coverflow mode, then when you tap an album, you get a list of tracks.
HTC's audio manager is quite (unnecessarily) strict with ID3 tags compared to other players. It treats tags as case-sensitive ('Death metal' is not the same as 'Death Metal'). I've had to go through all my albums with the free desktop program Mp3tag and make sure everything was absolutely perfect.
For instance, check if the artist and album tags are exactly the same for each track. If you have compilation albums, maybe that's the problem?
hmm that is strange - just to be 100% I will check tonight including checking case's.
never thought of that, cheers
**edit** just realised i can check here and looks like you hit the nail on the head, the issue is with compilation albums having individual artists. on my iphoen as long as I set album artist to Various or VA it was all ok. silly strict rules lol
I used Conduits Pocket Player for a while, which is a great player but needs a lot of program memory.
When I switched to HTC's player (simpler but also faster, lighter and built in) on my Touch Pro, my music library, which was perfectly organized and clean in Pocket Player, appeared to be a mess. Took me quite a while to get everything sorted. HTC's player is just much less forgiving.
Mp3tag is a great program for sorting through tags, also embeds album art so they show in every player I've thrown them at (PS3, Touch Pro, Xperia, i8910 - which is S60v5 and very, very fussy on album art).
There are others with nicer UIs, Media Monkey being a good example, but I've not used anything else that "just works" like mp3tag.

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.
I think the Note is a great device. I just could not fathom what the designers were thinking when they built the stock Music Player. It plays album tracks in alphabetical order, as opposed to the common track number order. I did not see any option in the UI to make it behave properly.
I am certain my MP3 with ID3 tags are fine. Because they played fine on the Galaxy Tab 10.1 and the Galaxy S II. My workaround to this quirky behavior of the stock music player... use an alternate Music Player from the Market.
same problem
Yup...mine has the same issue...all songs in all the albums are arranged alphabetically.
And there is no option of changing it. This is my first android and did'nt expect these kinda bugs.
Even my last phone, N8, had songs arranged by track number. Its really frustrating.
Anyone got a fix or do we have to wait for an update from samsung.
Btw another thing i noticed was that while viewing the music list while playing the music in the background, the bar at the bottom displays "song name _ artist". Should'nt it be a '-' instead of a '_'.
I noticed the same issue with the stock music player and also couldn't find a work around. I have therefore now started using Winamp which does thankfully play them in track order.

So there's no other option but to use another music player.
And wait for samsung to fix this.
Slightly off topic, but this is one of the advantages of Android over iOS - if you don't like the stock application, you can simply use another!
I don't think I've used the stock music player for any Android device I own.

Dave
Lol..ya dude...another way to look at it...
And which player do you suggest?
I went for "cubed" (or "3") from the market, mainly 'cos it looks really good - but it sounds good too once you tweak the EQ a bit (though I have found that it has a tendancy to lock up the player if you mess with the EQ settings too much on the graphical interface).
EDIT - I also found it to do a good job of sorting out the somewhat patchy album art I had on the 30GB library I'd copied over form my old N900 to my Note (once I discovered that to do this you hold and drag on the album to get to the art selection/download functionality). It doesn't have an auto mode to process all albums but the per-album manual method was quick & painless for those albums that required it.
Well the real problem that i saw after using the note is that in Artists view...the songs are arranged by track number...while in album view..they are arranged alphabetically....
The thing i wanna know is does 2.3.6 fix this or not...
Screen shots attached
Thanks

Power amp was using to much the CPU 35-50% so installed and did go back to stock player and his 5-12% CPU usage.

The stock player sorts the track according the track numbers in the artist view.

Ya i know it does that in artist view...it would not be a problem if some albums had different artists...then we have to open album view and listen alphabetically which sucks...and as Braxos pointed out power amp is using too much cpu for playing music...i just did'nt expect these kinda bugs when we're buying expensive smartphones...
Winamp sorts the music properly.

MixZing is what I'm using, GREAT audio player which boasts a 10 band equalizer ranging from 30hz to 16khz, an amplifier to boost the volume, and yeah the songs/artists are alphabetically in order too!
I strongly recommend this application.
Efficient Music Player For The Note?
Coming from an iPhone which can boast music for 20 hours in a real life scenario... is there any decent music player that is power efficient? Poweramp looks like a battery hog that i'm not using for sure. Thanks
If anybody has run a music playback time test please report.
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?
