Music player

Anyone know of a good music player which has a resume function for each track?
I had Pocket Player on my HD2 which allowed me to stop one track, play another and then go back to the first track and continue where I left off. Used it a lot on audiobooks.
Alternatively, something that will allow me to set a bookmark on different tracks.
Even better would be one that does that and also still has music controls on the lockscreen like the stock player.

Not sure if I've come across anything like you want specifically for music.
If it's just for audiobooks, then try Ambling BookPlayer. It's pretty good at auto bookmarking what you are listening to, and comes with a widget too to play and pause books.

I'm using Ambling BookPlayer now and it's very good, particularly for my audiobooks and recorded drama. It's a bit of work to load the mp3 files into its library as it doesn't recognise the m3u playlists I have and it does not natively support album art but I liked it enough to buy the Pro version.

Mortplayer
Mortplayer Audiobooks in the market. Free. I used to use Mortplayer in WinMo and this seems much the same. Very reliable at saving where you are in each track. I have only used the android version for a few days but it seems OK and the WinMo one was rock solid, even picked up where I left off before a soft reset. Oh and there's a widget for it and it shows in notifications.
Worth a try.

im using mix zing lite

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.

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.

Stock Music App

The Stock music app stops playing after a song finishes when the screen is off. The next song comes up after the screen is unlocked. Is there a way to stop that? If not, is there a better free music app for the transformer?
Thanks.

Amazon mp3 is pretty good and should be in tablet market.
Try searching for songbird or winamp also idk if they are ported to honeycomb yet but both are solid free options.
Trust me (-..-) im from the webs

Winamp is a little buggy, but it works. Amazon music player is good (but I the cloud player doesn't work as well as it could). Songbird has a nice layout, but you can't scroll through an individual song. They all play music after the Transformer shuts down.
I think the stock player has the best layout of them all, so I hope it gets an update to fix this.

Win amp does not allow me to search through my music. It force closes the app almost immediately. I am only able to play music through the widget.

Favorite music player

The stock music player seems limited to me. I use player pro. It has plenty of customizations and is light. Share the name of your favorite music player and the reason why

I use Shuttle+. Very clean interface and plays my music! Not only that, but the dev is very active on adding new features, like folder browsing is coming in the next version. Highly recommend you give it a try, and there is a free version. Pro is 99 cents.

I switch between Neutron and Poweramp. Neutron has arguably the best audio quality of all the players on the market, but the UI leaves a lot to be desired. Poweramp, while not as good as Neutron in terms of audio quality, provides probably the best balance in terms of sound and UI.

I use PowerAmp, as it has a great interface, lots of features, and varied widget options. Haven't felt a need to switch from it yet.

I using MyPlayer because ir have a different but useful way forma making playlists.

Are you referring to Google Play Music? If so, it is my go to when I want to play one of the 11K songs on my desktop, especially since Audiogalaxy abandoned me again.
As far as an offline player, Nexmusic is my current favorite and believe me, I tried just about them all. It has most or more of the great features that the big boys (e.g., PlayerPro, Poweramp) have and it's free. Although PlayerPro is pretty nice if you don't mind the price.

I've been enjoying the N7player on an S4 Active very much.
Coming from Neutron player on a galaxy S2 and wanted to try something different.
The equalizer isn't the best (Neutron's was very detailed, so I got spoiled), but there are better exclusive apps just for that and the built in has many presets and effects.
Easy to use and browse music
playlist creation comes quicker than most with lots of longpress options
album art is presented well
lock screen interface is a nice treat
simple, minimalistic and dark

So for the people who use poweramp and neutron, how different is the sound quality on both players? I currently use poweramp. Also most of my music is in FLAC. Would I benefit more from neutron?

Nexmusic, it does what i need it to do and it does it very well :good:

Anybody tried Rocket Music Player before? It's awesome, you can attach special presets to each and every song and can also upgrade to a 10-band equalizer from 5 bands. It's UI is also beautiful and customizable thanks to themes. I personally use the Light Blue theme thanks to my exposure from using Apollo

Power amp + a faux sound enabled kernel ( with faux sound app ) = bam loud as sound I mainly use it for line out aux sound to the stereo at work

Ive always used Poweramp. Why? It was one of only a couple of players with a built in equalizer when it came out. I paid for it so I just kept using it
Lately though Ive been all about the Google Play Music app. Cant beat having my entire music library there without using up all my phones storage. The interface is actually really really nice and easy to navigate. Built in equalizer is nice too. Its definitely my go to player since they updated the interface. Not to mention the All Access feature now. A little pricet at $8/mo but I'm enjoying the trial I finally activated.

I use Apollo built into CM10.1. Basic, works for me. I absolutely hate Google Music. Even with music on my SD card, and not allowing it to sign in to my account somehow it managed to show up in Data Usage as using 500mb+ of my data plan. Never again. It's disabled now.

I had the same issue with Google music a while back... that is one of the first apps I kill now on my phone. Fool me once and all that...

for local music I actually prefer the stock Samsung player. for streaming its slacker.
I'm just amazed that play STILL can't transition from shuffle to "in order" without having to clear the que. that is the single thing preventing me from using that for everything.

Come on....... Power amp :thumbup:
SGH-M919_Omega, the end result

poweraaaamp

equalizer music player is what i use cuz its a really great app and is free. and also works great with the volume increasing mod i use.

JetAudio Music Player Plus
JetAudio Music Player Plus (paid version) - 20-band EQ (10-band in Free Version, I think), 32 presets, 4 Customizable presets, Stereo Widening, Reverb, Bass, AGC, Crossfading, Gapless, Balance control, Sleep timer, etc...
I use it along with ViPER4AndroidFX and ViPER4AndroidXHiFi MOD, if you have not tried this, you are missing out. Blows out everything of the water. I've never heard earphones sound so good. Even if you prefer another player, use this FX Mod, you will be amazed at the difference this makes.
EDIT: Just to clarify a bit more. ViPER4AndroidFX/XHiFi is an Audio FX app a bit like Equalizer, Music FX, Beats Audio?, etc... they improve audio effects coming out of the phone - globally, across all apps. It is not a music player.

music player

Hi all, anybody know of a music player that will syce between multiple devices including a pc? I usually use the Amazon music app but they've discontinued music uploads. Amy help would be great thanks.

Google play music is not without its flaws but it will at least do this (as long as you can live with uploading only from the PC or by using workarounds like a cloud storage synced folder).
I never noticed Amazon had disabled uploads for non-paying customers - there were things I liked better about the player, but the free storage limit was too small to be useful to me anyway.

if you use iTunes you can use iSyncr and sync your playlists to your android devices and use Poweramp or a music player of your choice. Poweramp is a top notch player with a high quality EQ btw. I used to use Google Play Music from time to time but it is lousy at syncing from my computer to the cloud and to the phone and tablet. it adds the same albums like 4 times over in the playlists and gets them all screwed up. So i gave up.

https://support.google.com/googleplaymusic/answer/1075570?hl=en
This is googles sync tool, point it at your music folder on your PC and let it rip. Songs will be streamable from the Google music app.
