OK, it's probably just me, but I cannot figure out the TouchFlo music player at all.
I synced 7 or 8 albums from various artists onto the storage card using Windows Media Player on my desktop. All of the albums have appropriate album art visible within Media Player.
After a bit of hit and miss, TF Music Player found the albums. But only some of the have album art. Those that do have a ~hTC_<album name>.jpg file, others have a AlbumArt_{long guid}_Large.jpg file. Any way to automatically fix this?
OK, now on to the bigger problem. I just can't figure out how to get the player to play what I want. I press Library, go to Artists, Select an artist, then an Album. Click on a track, and it starts playing that album. Do the same again, except select a different album and selecy Add to play list, and .... nothing happens.
I've messed around for quite a while. About 1 in 4 times I can get it to play what I want, but it's seems far from intuitive. I'd just like a 'Play' button on the screen that lists the albums for instance.
The only thing I seem to be able to do reliably is queue up everything, so I guess that'll have to do.
Sorry for the long winded rant, but I've been fighting with this for a while, it's nearly 1am and I'm tired.
If the album art picture is called folder.jpg the TouchFlo player will pick it up and assign it as the album cover , it creates the ~hTC_<album name>.jpg file file when it does so.
When I click on a track from within an album it plays the track and cues the rest of the album to play, but it does play the track I select. I'm not 100% sure, but from your description it sounds like yours doesn't?
But in general to answer your question: no, its not a particularly useful UI for song selection (especially compared to what I'm used to coming from the S60 music player). Really wish in particular that you could do as you say and select an artist/genre and just hit play - instead you have to select the artist, then click on the music note to bring up all the songs, click on any one and then it cues them all (same goes for playing by genre etc). Also wish you could narrow down selection with the keyboard (or virtual keypad), like in contacts, or at least have the alphabet sidebar for selection. Only thing I really like about it, other than looking quite pretty, is that its fairly finger friendly.
Thanks, the folder.jpg bit seems to have worked mostly. It's not picked a couple of them up yet, but I guess it will eventually.
As for queueing up tracks, I'm not sure what happens and when. It just seems that sometimes it works, but sometimes it doesn't. Mostly I can queue up a single album just fine, but if I want to add a second album to the queue it seems hit and miss.
Best way is to create a playlist and add them to that, but its hardly intuitive or user friendly, worst of all the playlist editor is not that finger-friendly either. Its adequate for me, but only just.
double twist media player is out in market now! very nice UI. id say best looking player we have so far
btunes > double twist
It's stupid that you need their syncing software to add media. They don't even support linux
U dont. I just unchekd "auto USB drive" in settings, and it found all my songs.
it seems ok but I prefer 3 (cubed), I think its prettier ^^
Killer feature though is that when skipping through a track you can grab the position indicator and drag up the screen to change sensitivity just like on the iPhone. That and that alone makes this the best player for me.
Bring on an EQ and I will rejoice!
I think the best players are: 3, Nemo, and this. Anyone of them can be considered pretty.
I just discovered this music mod for the default music player.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=690180
just installed it and I have to say its pretty.
My main player is 3 but I think i'll stick with this music mod.
DoubleTwist doesn't hold a candle to cacheinjection's stock music mod. Not even a flicker of a candle.
It would be great if it could sync with my Google Listen subscriptions fron Google Reader

the only reason for why i dont like 3 (cubed) is that it doesnt have the option to show the list of song titles

yes it does. menu - view - boring, then pick the artist/album and the song list pops up
I use Meridian. The only player that lets you browse by directories, and the only player that supports some other languages for song titles. I dont like playlists
Can someone post the APK for doubleTwist? I'm currently in asian and a TON of apps don't appear in the market.
Thanks in advance
The only issue I have with doubletwist is that it doesn't let me point it at a specific directory, and for some reason it makes and keeps it's own media library xml.
So far no problems here, for me the app is working perfect and love how quick it loads up the videos an I have 100's of them
HTC Incredible

what i mean is showing all the song titles like the stock music app
DoubleTwist player lists your audio that's on the microSD card that's in \alarms, \ringtones, \notifications folders.
Very annoying if you have a lot of ringers.
Stock music app doesn't list those folders.
We are the VPlayer team, and developing a new music player.
Some plans:
Kinds of music format support;
Music video support;
Basic music player operations;
Unique control style;
Support for the disabled;
...
So, what do you want for a music player? Any comment is appreciated
Support not just video, but music as well, so I don't have to have a couple of apps instead of one.
Definetly want to see an equilazer for music, and contrast/brightness settings for video.
Better file browser (smaller icons/labels, more info on files, sorting, bookmarks)
Playlist support.
Any pics of the interface?

Yes, but the UI has not been completely finished. Please wait for my updating posts. Thanks
1.SPPEDUP without changing pitch, slide with regulation from slow to for example 400% faster.
2.Option for removing silence for example when someone is slowly talker spaces between are long and this is really boring to listen such audio book or smth.
So it would be nice if player would have option to delete silence with regulation like delete when voice db is lower than 3db and delete silence when silence is longer than 200ms etc.
It would be good to listening audiobook.
This player could just prebuffer some music into memory scan it for silence in separate thread and delete it but this is technical so you know it.

will it also be "free forever"? SCNR.
Equlizer good bass support, a simple lockscreen widget
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
flac/ogg support! homescreen/lockscreen widget!
Why ?
Once the finished works for sale
The user on XDA are your guinea pig
HD Video support for all the formats...!!
At least make sure it supports 720p videos..!!
Good UI, some widget and a lockscreen. Not much, but essential.
Music listing by folder!
Just like what Mortplayer does.
link to twitter
can u add up a link to twitter so we can tell ppl what we r listening to?
that would b great. thanks for this brilliant idea
Good looking UI and good looking widgets (multiple widgets even better).
EQ.
Smoothness.
Shake to switch songs?
Gestures
See Audiogalaxy ... copy its streaming abilities from my PC to my phone. But also add support for photos and videos streaming if possible.
Make sure to include a gesture based lock screen widget, exactly like Mixzing has. What is great about their lock screen widget is that it reactivates the screen for a few seconds when a new song starts. That gives you an oprotunity to quickly see what is playing, and swipe to skip to next song if you desire. Great function for when you are driving!
Include an easy to use Playlist creator.
Keep the user interface simple and minimalistic looking. No need for fancy graphics. Simple goes a long way. Make sure the Now Playing section shows the album art as big as you can. We take a lot of time tagging our music with artwork, so we want to see it.
Seriously, see Mixzing's app. They have almost the perfect music player. The only thing it lacks now is streaming abilities. I would like to use it to stream my media from my PC, like I do with Audiogalaxy. I use Audiogalaxy exclusivly now; even though it lacks a lot of the fuctions I really want from Mixzing. Streaming has become that important to me for my media players. Screw the Cloud, give me access to MY pc.
-professional-looking widget (lockscreen and homescreen)
-ID3 Tag Editor (something unlike PowerAMP where you edit tags of music files and becomes unplayable on other music player)
-prominent album art display in now playing screen (but not too big)
-Headphone support
-beautiful UI
screen lock
i have one more thing if some one hasnt already said. SORRY FOR NOT READING THE WHOLE FORUM. can u gyz get the system to lock the screen with a tap on trackball so videos wont keep on skipping while we have our phones in our pocket..plz
sorry for my bad english, i hope u understand what i mean. cheers
Anyone know of any music apps that go to a list of artists after selecting genre? Its the way Apple does genre browsing and I think they have a patent on it because no other music player does it, they send you to all the songs in a genre which is a joke (select "rock" and get a list of 1200 songs, thanks for narrowing it down).
The ONLY app Ive seen that does this is Player Pro, and they do it in a weird way (which lets them get by the patent, assuming there is one).
I simply cannot use a music app that doesnt allow you to browse by genre and then goes to artists, its by far the easiest way to find what youre looking for since it narrows results down so much. I only use the music part of my phone when driving so finding things quickly without looking through big lists is essential, searching by artist is too difficult because I have too many artists and the list is too long to scroll through, if it wasnt for Player Pro I'd still be using my ipod touch for music. Player Pro is a good app but Id still like to know of alternatives.
I remember there being a Zune clone floating around that wasnt allowed on the google store because it was an exact copy, is there anything like that for the iPod (I know about bTunes, its not what Im looking for)?

Try N7 or Power Amp

The MixZing media player seems to do what you're asking for, when you click on the genre section it shows you the artists, and on clicking the artits you get the albums.
Hello there everyone ^^ my question is about Music Players. I have been using for 3 years now the PlayerPro Music Player, I really like it because you can do what other players won't let you, like:
- Delete songs (as far I know, the default android music player won't let you do this, and IDK if other players would let you since I've only used the PlayerPro all these last 3 years).
- Search and edit artwork for songs, albums, artists from internet.
- Edit songs, albums, artists names and all the other info.
That's pretty much everything I love about that player. The thing is that after 3 years I would like to get a new one but I don't want to lose all those features that makes my life easier. Another reason to change player despite the 3 years using the same one is that I've been getting a lot of bugs and errors lately from the PlayerPro. I can't enjoy it anymore. Yeah, I know apps get updates fixing all kind of bugs and error. But hey, I want a new one x).
Does anyone know about another player with the same features I wrote? Thank you very much minna-san.

I personally like Rocket Player
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrtstudio.AnotherMusicPlayer&hl=en
It can delete songs and lets you edit all the meta-info. Unfortunately it can't fetch the metainfo automatically for you
PlayerPro Music i'm using it too, has everything i need.
I like the Sony Walkman player, you can find the apk online
I am also a big fan of Sony Walkman
i really like fusion music player, it has all above mentioned features and more
Power Amp is very nice. Black skin the best.
