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.

Hi everyone, I would like to know what is the best music player for ANDROID HD2?
The one it comes with is garbage....Any links would be helpful!!! TY ALL
I would recommend Mixzing Media Player. I currently use it on my X10 and feel its the best for music. Lots of options and has a good eq. And I know you didn't ask but Rockplayer for video. Plays it all.
ty i will check it out
I love the default player that comes with all sense builds.

I have tried almost every good music player there is (Mixzing, bTunes, Player Pro, TuneWiki, and some others I don't remember), yet I've come back to using the stock player. Graphically it's not the most appealing there is, but heck, it does what it has to do without all the unneccessary hassle the others have.
Lithium Music Player
4 me is
Lithium Music Player
Yea your right mixzing is horrible too. Ill stick with stock for now.

Horrible?
Gapless playback, music suggestions, equalizer, id3tag editor (once you register it) and a lot of other things and you say that it's horrible?

I absolutely hated this whole suggestions thing. It worked so unintuitively yet took a prominent role, and the suggestions weren't very relevant either.
Mspot is great. i like the way you can also play your music from the cloud.
mini player is my fav based on the fact that it looks at a directory that you point it to, rather than seeking for all media on your sd card like the android player does. also has playlist now.
3 or sometimes called cube by phillip abrantes is a cool player it's in the market
i like tunewiki
Music PlayerPro is my pick. Closest to the stock app. Shows album art. Has 4 decent looking skins. Has its own lockscreen with a widget. And best of all you can select the music folder to play from.
Mixzing was ok. Just did a little more than I needed. I just want to listen to my music and not my ringtones if you know what I mean. Keep it simple.
Try Audio Player with EQ Platinum. It has a very good equalizer.

But you have to say that it isn't very fast, sometimes it stucks with loading music.

Do you know that you can set the folder(s) to scan for media within the options?
Also, regarding suggestions you can also disable them. Do you guys just stop on the first screen or what?

Just wondering if you're talking about the stock sense music player or Mixzing? I've hunted high and low in the stock player and can't find anywhere to tell it where to look.
Horrible yes,ok it is good,but it does not support rewind and forward on my jabra bt 3030....only back skip,and forward skip.....the sense player supports all my jabra functions....

If you can afford it, Spotify without a doubt. It's all I use now!
For some reason, if my transformer is on standby it will pause music at the end of each song. All I need to do to get it going again is press any key on the dock or if it's not docked just tap the standby button and it continues playing the next song in the paylist. Is anyone else having this problem? I'm running Primordial 3.1 US with stock kernel and using the Google music Player.
It gets really annoying when i'm trying to use it as a music player in my car and i have to hit a button every time i want it to play the next song...
Funny, I just got on the forum to post the same question. I am using the stock music player as well and just noticed this. I didn't get to play with my ASUS much before 3.1 came out but I'm pretty sure it did not do that before 3.1.
For now I just downloaded poweramp as a third party option... but it has some bugs that bother me more than the song stop issue.
Mine does the same, it ihas something to do with the update. Didn't happen before. It also doesn't happen all the time.
Interesting. As I'm reading these postings, I'm listening to music through my Bluetooth headset coming from my Transformer, which is attached to the dock and closed - thus in standby. I'm listening to song after song, just like I expect to. I'm using the google Music Beta application to play my music. On other occasions I've listened to stuff in the google cloud, while right now the music is resident.
Are you using the google Music Beta application? The one with the headphones icon?
Could it be I'm listening to 60's rock?
Bye.
Same issue here. It's rather annoying. I'm experiencing it on 3.1 official update.
I'm in Canada so I can't use the Google music beta but if I'm not mistaken its still the same application. Has anyone tried with the clemsyn kernel to see if its still happening?

This started happening after the 3.1 update. If it's that much of a bother, you can always drop down to 3.0.1.
It irritates the hell out of me as I use the TF as a music player in the car. I've gotten in the habit of blindly reaching down and tapping the power button twice when a song ends. Minor annoyance, but still an annoyance.
I'm also in the Google Music beta (cloud storage) and this issue doesn't happen when playing songs from the cloud. At least it didn't once. I usually just play what's stored locally.
I tried other music players and they all work well, but unfortunately I haven't found one written with a tablet screen in mind. Not that I'm a graphics whore, but a phone UI stretched to tablet size creates usability issues.
Yeah, I noticed that from google music too. I was streaming from the cloud service. Guess that's why it's still in beta...
Same thing here, from local storage.. not from cloud.
Give this a shot: http://launcherpro.com/music/
^ Obviously from the guy who made launcher pro. it's not tablet optimized, but it still looks and runs great.

This app turned my Transformer into a Zune music player. Has the exact same look and feel.
Nice little app and it does solve the "pause while screen off" problem.
Would be nice if the developer makes a Honeycomb optimized version.
I have the same issue where it pauses, kinda annoying

Just downloaded and installed this, very nice interface, I have decided to use this as my default player as I had the pausing playback via HDMI at the weekend whilst the screen was off. I've also put the app on my MIUI HTC Desire HD.
Thanks for the recommendation.

Hello my androids,
Does anyone of you know how i can use spotify as the default music player? Like it will start up when i start my car, just like what the default music player does.
Thanks!
Slick'
Spotify won't do that. If you dont have a data connection, Spotify takes several clicks to start. Which is why I am going back to Google Play Music. GPM will start from the last part of the song you were on like an old cd player would.
if you do not have a data connection at start (i have Spotify Premium and my songs downloaded), I have to click on Spotify, wait for it to say i have no data connection, then click on my library, then click on playlists, then click on the playlist i want, then click the shuffle button

Thx for the reply man:good:! Yea i do the same as you do, guess nothing to do about that then, would be grate if this would be possible some day.
I just got the new Joying 2GB RAM, Intel units, mine is the 8 inch. So i have currently gone back to Google Play Music. I also have the paid plan there. so far it works great.
I start a playlist, drive, park, turn off the Jeep. Come back to the Jeep, start the Jeep, and when the unit comes back on, as soon as it recognizes the external storage, it pops up GPM and has the song I was listening to on the screen, I just have to press the Play button.
As an added bonus, Google Play Music allows you to assign a Playlist to a Widget. For example, say I have a playlist called "Jeep Beats", then I can go to the Widget section, find the one for GPM, and when I put it on the homescreen it pops up asking me what playlist to assign it to, and i pick Jeep Beats.
later on, be it an hour or a week, I get in the Jeep, on the home screen press my Jeep Beats widget and it opens up Google Play Music right to that Playlist.
double added bonus, GPM does not restrict your number of downloads like Spotify. well they do, but it is like 50k or something, whereas Spotify has 3,333.
But i love my Spotify
Subscribed, interested in this as well!
You can set the default navigation app (at least on my Joying), would be great to have something similar for the music/radio apps.

Hi Mike,
I know this is from an old thread but I have noticed you have many posts in the head unit section and was hoping you could help.
I have an unbranded 4.4.4 headunit and I was wondering if it was possible to set GPM or any other music app as my default player as you have described in the post and if so what steps would I have to follow.
Thank you very much!
What do you mean by Default? I just have the app on my home screen

With Gustdens no-kill key-mod you can add it to the laucher.sh to make it (re)start when the unit comes back from sleep.
Note that there is no November version yet. The versions go to and including the September ROM.

No, they do not. I was so under the impression that you were on a joying that I forgot to look.
Hi guys, i'm looking for an online music player but can't figure out whats the best version displayed on chinese head units. Apple music is slow, icons are small, takes many clicks to play, search does not show partial results as you type (like on the phone).....all those make it hard to use while driving.
Spotify is also strange, has small icons, even on premium you can;t simply play what you save it always adds other stuff or skips to other songs.
how are your experiences with those, what do you recommend for driving? are there any special or older versions that have a better UI for our headunits? thanks

Your description of Spotify doesn't sound right. I have Spotify installed on 3 different vehicles with Android head units, and I have no problem with playing my playlist the same way I saved it. Are you sure you didn't forget to log into your account on your head unit?
Now, I used to have a problem with Spotify in the car wanting to play what it thinks was the last thing played on my phone. Sometimes it would show a pop up and ask me which source I wanted to play from, and others it would just play from the phone instead of the head unit, or switch to the phone in the middle of playing a playlist from the head unit. Even disabling the option where it shouldn't try to play from other sources didn't help. I am thinking it was a Spotify app bug, because it doesn't do it anymore.
I like YouTube music as most. I have a Premium Account and it works like a charm. It is also controllable through Google Maps and Waze. I like it.

I use Spotify also and I am happy with it although some of the buttons can be small and hard to press.
There is an Auto/Car UI you can switch to. It will auto switch also I believe. I turned it off so has been awhile since I've seen it.
