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

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.

Hi!
I use the Music tab in Sense to play my music, because it's really neat to have it so easily accessible. There is one feature I miss, though, and I think it could be easily added. I miss having the option to enqueue(hope that's the right spelling ) the song to the Now Playing playlist instead of playing it right away. I used to make a queue of songs I'd like to hear in all my previous music players and I don't wanna give it up or be forced to use WMP. So is there a possibility any good programmer would add that feature? It would be like: short press - play, long press - enqueue. Or something like that. I would be really grateful. Thanks
P.S. Yes I know I can build playlists, but I'd like this better.
I'll be following this thread. It's the one (major) thing missing from the music player. Let's hope there's a solution.
I also miss the option to just browse for a certain folder! The album names sometimes do not match, which results in songs being catogorized several times in the album list.... A new tab would be wonderful
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.

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.

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.

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.

I am looking for an Android player that is pretty simple but i do not see why its so hard to find?
All I want is something that lets me play MP3's.. that does not scan the entire device (ringtones always seem to show up and I dont want them to)
something that kinda roots itself on the SD Card in a folder like "Music"
with a nice home screen
AND
somethign that will resume the next time it's open. for some reason the media player that comes with my Captivate seems to wants me to start all over when i dont use it for 30 min or so..
simple?
thanks for the advise

PowerAMP. It's in the market, and has a really nice EQ setup in addition to what you're talking about. It's in beta right now.
http://power-amp.info/
thank you, Downloading and testing this now. I will keep you posted on my impression!
There is one in alpha
Try this one. It pulls data in from the music folder and allows for pause, fast forward and rewind. However it is still in alpha...
Meridian player has most of the features you are after such as Folder browsing and resuming Videos. Plus it has decent widget also

+1 for Power Amp
Player pro does the folder playing and is very simple, got some nice widget aswell
MortPlayer is another nice light alternative that meets your criteria. There is also a version of MortPlayer specifically for audiobooks that allows you to make bookmarks in your sound files.
I actually use both PowerAMP and MortPlayer: PowerAMP for general music listening and it's very pretty UI, and MortPlayer for listening to long recordings of lectures so that I can consistently come back to where I left off.
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.

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

Poweramp
Agreed Poweramp. I used to use Winamp until they closed the ability to update album art.
GoneMAD Music Player and Poweramp
Can't go wrong with either of those.
Poweramp, but note the volume output to headphones on this phone isn't very good.
Hello, here is my opinion about music player on Android:
poweramp and playerpro are 2 goods player, maybe the best ones!!!
By the way, can we skip tracks with UP and DOWN volume Buttons?
I'd usually recommend PowerAmp. However, the display of Album Art when embedded within mp3 files is broken on the S7 at the moment so you might want to hold off.

I highly recommend Google Play Music. You can upload 50.000 own songs from your computer, and you always have your all songs without any subscription. It is working well, and uses EQ, album cover...etc.
The problem with Google play music is the silly 1000 song limit in playlists.
If using Poweramp make sure that you disable the "Direct Volume Control" feature as it's buggy on the Galaxy S7/S7 edge and makes the volume sound way too low.
Also I would recommend using USB Audio App Pro along with a USB DAC or a headset with a build in DAC rather than poweramp though, as far as sound quality goes the difference is night and day.

Why for God's sake do you need a playlist more than 1000 song?

How about 3800? There are only about 1200 unique tracks in the list, but some are in the list multiple times. What I do is to take songs I like more and put them in the list multiple times. Of course, I only play that playlist shuffled... The end result is that my favorite songs play more often.
I actually use (gasp) iTunes to organize my list, and rate any song (that will go into my primary playlist) between 2 and 5 stars. 2 star songs go into the playlist once. 3 star songs go into the list twice. 4 stars gets five entries and 5 star songs get eight entries.
The end result is VERY good (for me) and I've been using this system for many, many years.
Sadly, however, it means I can't use google play music for that playlist. With S7, I have a big 128GB sdcard card, and my entire music collection on the card. I then use Samsung's music player (which works very well) for playing that big list.

With the mix of music I listen to, those automated playlists never work out. As well, they don't allow a "I like song A, but I like song B even more."
Why am I even arguing this? If a person can't see the limitations, then they probably don't apply to that person. They DO apply to me. Google play music's limitation of 1000 songs in a playlist is too restrictive for me (and for some others.)
No matter what player I use the audio quality is crappy. Compared with another phone it's just horrible

grab the latest PowerAmp alpha:
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/max-mp/poweramp/poweramp-alpha-build-701-uni-release/
really great improvements to our mediocre DAC with some minor tweaks in the settings + custom volume steps!
Thanks, I'll try bu I doubt it will improve to an acceptable level. Still no excuse for such a good device to fail so badly at this.
Edit
Actually the improvement is quite big, so thanks again. Might be some placebo efect there but something is definitely better
