Alright, here's the story.
I come from the world of iPhone. I ditched the Jobs crapification of the mobile world in search of open source awesomesauce.I am SO happy with my move over to Android, I could kiss Gary Bussey... but I won't. Moving on...
The one thing I do missabout my iPhone is the media player. I listen to music via my phone all day long, and the android system seems to be lacking in the media playback department. Therefor, I'm calling on the masses to help me out.
I'm looking for a music player that incorporates two major things:
1. Gapless playback (No pause between tracks)
2. An equalizer
Is there anything out there for audiophiles like me, or are we stuck with laggy, almost-complete music apps?

Have you tried MixZing? I hear alot of good talk about it. I dont know that it has an equalizer or gapless playback but its worth a try.
My iPod doesn't have gapless playback. I know iTunes does though.

It was built into mine. When I told iTunes that an album was gapless and then synced it to my phone, it would play back gapless on the iPhone.
+1 MixZing

I personally used this for a while now..... I has great widget choices, free, and organizes and downloads missing artwork similar to iTunes. Plus the other features ouare looking for and more... imo better than stock app.

here is a screenie for anyone interested
Alright. So I installed MixZing lite, and I love it so far... but heres an issue. All my music is in a folder on my SD card called "Music", then broken down in folder by Artist, then by albums.
After having MixZing search my library, it completed, and afterwards I added another album folder into my SD Card, but MixZing isnt recognizing that I have new music. Suggestions?

I would try going into the applications options and purging any saved data for mixzing, then fire the app back up and see if it recompiles the music db.
I like b tunes and also 3 search for rock on, both free on the market

theres a app called "sdscan" that scans the card and it should make the new album folder availible in the app.

The only option in there was to clear out the cache. Did so, but Mixzing wont recompile the db. I even tried removing it and re-adding the folder "Music", still doesn't see the new stuff.

App is actually called sdrescan. Found it, used it, worked like a charm.

oh sorry.
No problem bro, no problem.
Now I've got another issue, though... I'm trying to use MP3Tagger to edit the ID3 Tags, but its saying it cant load the songs for editing? Weird.
i like mixzing, wish it had a lockscreen option like stock. does anyone have a way to make the volume buttons change the music? my brother jailbroke his iphone and they have an app that does that. its a great feature ecspeacially while driving and working out.

double-tap the screen? And if they don't stretch out on the whole screen, then I would not like to see it fitting the whole screen. Since then it would look all pixelated and ****.
Yxflash can play most video files. I think that Meridian might stretch them out, like you want. I am not quite sure tho, since I convert them so that they fit the screen.
I gotta agree there.. Yxflash does play other types compared to others such as avi/divx files! If you are after a basic player, I think there's one called act 1 player..

mVideoPlayer is my no1
try Wuzhenhua Player v4.1, free and has support for a wide range of audio and video formats. it's in Chinese but few buttons are easy to understand
http://mobiputing.com/tag/wuzhenhua-player/
within link above there is a ref to a thread in xda, post 76 you'll find english ver
Please let me know if someone would like to have the english translation of Wuzhenhua Player v4.1. Then i will help to do it.
Wuzhenhua 4.1 is already in English ^^x
suggestion: what about turning this thread into a media player collection, OP updating #1 to get a referential on the subject instead of getting multiple/duplicate threads on the subject?

Media Go - Skyfire
I found that the SONY Media Go application can practically convert anything even old copy protected iTunes if you have DRM on your computer, If you are downloading off the phone browser try using Skyfire as this has built in video codecs for most video formats.

I have searched and searched, and nothing. I had a great DoubleTwist app on my Android phone, and it did EVERYTHING very well, but I can't find one for WM. I, of course, have the client on my laptop, an I use that to sync music, movies and podcasts to the HD2, but I am hoping there is an actualt DT app to use for playing said music and movies on the phone...
Thanks!

Am I missing something, I don't see a .cab DL for WM?
Anyone?
The HTC music player doesn't DL album art automatically. Is there a better featured music player? And recommendations for a video player.
Thanks.

I'm a HUGE fan of MixZing. It has an Album Art option and is well worth the paid version. As for Videos, I have used RockPlayer in the past. It works well and has good codec support.

i agree completely, used to be a huge fan of mixzing until i found player pro, it has all the same features plus gives you lock screen controls as well as several widget options to fit your screen's needs
Does anybody still use the cubed music app? I loved it. It downloads the album artwork, too.

Just bought playerpro, its fantastic and replaced MusicMod for me. For videos i use RockPlayer since its simple and allows me to watch .AVIs without having to convert them to .mp4 files first.

PlayerPro is the ishnish.
I love Meridian Media Player. there is a free and paid version. It plays all of my videos and music, let's you create playlists, downloads album art, shows lyrics if embedded, and works flawlessly.
Just downloaded Music Player and the beta of Winamp, but it seems neither of those read our internal storage so they are worthless to me.

FYI - the new powerAMP trial can see internal storage right out of the gates! Good work, developers!
What is a good app in the market where you can download just about any song on your phone safely?
No pirating .... just saw some out there and not sure which is safe and actually works.

gTunes is what me and a few friends use, it works nicely.
Winamp is awesome with some really cool features, like WiFi sync. Helps if you also use Winamp on your PC.
winamp's nice
Winamp's a nice one, yea
