With the iphone, I could add videos to my music playlist. I cannot find a similar app for my nexus one. I don't really want to keep a mp3 for my playlist AND the mp4 video of the same song. Does anyone know a fix?

Try meridian player on the market, for free, I handles videos and music playlists..unless you're looking to play videos files and music files at the same time..not sure possible!
Yeah, I mean at the same time. On the iphone, I could add a video to my music playlist. It would still play the video selected, like a song, with the screen turned off. I can't seem to find one that can do that on the nexus one.
I know MixZing and Meridian all play both music and video so you could try each to see if they work. There's a third that was on my mind but I can't remember that also plays both, maybe it was Zimly? I forgot now.
Hello
Sorry for a possibly "silly" question : I've installed Zimly and
can't find out where are stored the files, the library etc
could you please help me ?

I have read on other forums where users report that their built-in default music player stops as soon as they switch away from the screen and others say the have no issue. So I guess this is a mysterious bug. It's driving me nuts. Any ideas in trouble shooting this?
no help here
Sorry mine won't turn off no matter what buttons I push. Matter of fact I can't figure out how to truly turn it off, all I get is pause. Without advanced task killer it just sits in the drop down menu, waiting.
I do have the other bug with it though, I can't sort by artist with a lot of music on there. 25gigs, hit artist and it crashes and says not enough memory. There is more than a gig free on both the internal and the external cards. Bummer.
As of today it now plays in the background. If I can figure out a rhyme or reason as to why it wouldn't before I'll report back.

Mine always played in the background. You must be confuse with stock video player which can't play in the background for obvious reasons.

Nope, no confusion. When the program "Music Player" is launched a task manager shows that it is running but if the companion program, (whos name I cant remember) is not also running then the music will not play in the background. The companion program is launched by Music Player when an audio file is started. It has a similar name to Music Player. I believe it is named Sound Player and it has the same icon as Music Player.
If you start a playlist or album or whatever in the stock player and hit the home key it will show the music player now playin in the notification bar (where you can pause or skip songs. If you go back into the program and use the back button all the way out the program closes.

Ok, now I know how you get confused. Sound Player and Music Player are two different apps. No, Music Player does not require Sound Player in memory. Sound Player can't play in background while Music Player can.
The only way to launch Sound Player is to use My Files File Explorer and open mp3 or other sound files directly. On the other hand, Music Player can only be launched from app launcher and it offers following additional features:
1. Support albums and playlists.
2. Support 5.1ch playback on headphones
3. Support playback on the background.

That was some odd notations I made while I had a task manager installed last week. I just tried what you said and you are 100% exactly right! Phweeeh thats a relief. I was worried it would go back to not working later. Thanks for the insight.

My music player shuts off when I launch the camera app. Gingerbread I think you found a legitimate bug.
Does anyone have a replacement for sound player (not music player) that can run in the background? I'm sick of having streaming podcasts end when I need to do something else with my phone.

I think that people who have very large music collections will find that the player shuts off when they go into certain applications. My feeling is that this is Android's internal memory manager subroutine figuring that the audio player is eating up way too much memory, most likely due to the database being loaded the entire time the player is running, and deciding to close that one program rather than ten others to free up the same amount of space. How much memory does your player eat up while running?
The Sound Player is opening instead of the Music Player
On my Vibrant, a .mpga file used to open using the Music Player but now the Sound Player is opening instead. My phone is completely stock, never rooted and no aps downloaded, but I can tell which player is opening: after the player opens, I close it and then press and hold the home key to see which program just opened by noting the first program name in the list of the 6. (The two player's interfaces look almost identical so it is easy to think that the Music Player is opening when the Sound Player is the one actually opening.)
Some possible clues to the cause: I had just used the sound recorder for the first time. It creates .amr files. The .amr files showed up in the Music Player's playlist, but the file wouldn't play; so I browsed directly to the file using Files, clicked on the .amr file and the Sound Player opened the file. But now the Sound Player its opening .mpga files instead of the Music Player and my Music Player's playlist is now empty. (At least that is what I think the sequence of events were.)
I imagine that resetting the phone to factory default would fix it, but I'll have to learn how to backup my address book, web favorites, and goggle map starred items.)
I posted here because I believe I have detected accurately what is happening (maybe not the cause, but the fact that the wrong player is opening), and you experts might be able to suggest a workaround or get the bug fixed.

The mp3 must be in the music folder on the sdcard in order for music player to play in the background.
Not true. I've had music in other folders that got pulled into my music library.

No, i mean music player how is a Regular player that show Also the clip of the sony, and if the song has not have clip he show Nothing or picture.
* the song with the clip i will downlode from YouTube.
I'm sorry but your translating service is making a mess of your question...
What is "clip"? Album art? Lyrics? What you "download from youtube" is normally video, which Electrostatic Text already mentioned.

I want a player that plays songs and the song's video player. Without separation of video and songs. If the song has a video he saw him, unless he noy has a movie he saw a picture or a picture of the player. The songs I download YouTubeבטל עריכות
I don't know of any such apps, but I know what you mean now, so I'll elaborate for anyone else who might know:
He/she wants the same kind of music player system that you get with iTunes and iOS devices, where music videos and audio files mix in a way that makes it appear as though music videos are simply audio files with video album art. They mix with the audio file in every other way, from artist/album/etc tags to being included in playlists and shuffle modes.

right, : I want like the iphone player.
we can do it int android ? threre player like that ?
I tried searching on Google Play but couldn't find anything... maybe someone knows of a player that can do it.
I liked that feature in iOS too, but there's one problem with it: video files don't have any system for storing album/artist/title data. Apple adds that to its videos using the .m4v container format, which is how they can merge the two so seamlessly. Without that system in place, it's tricky finding a way to mix audio with album/artist/title data with video files that don't have them. Not impossible, but it could explain why there doesn't seem to be any such apps.
There's two apps for playing music: Music Player and Play Music. I know that Play Music is a Google thing. Is Music Player a standard android app or is it only available on Samsung products?
I'm asking because I'm trying to backup playlists using an app called Playlist Backup. For some reason, Music Player appears to get things in reverse order when Playlist Backup saves and restores the playlists. I'd like to ask the developer for a "feature" that would reverse the order but I don't know if he/she would have access to Music Player. I also don't know if its a Music Player or Playlist Backup "problem".
Thanks

Music Player is Samsung's default music app. I don't think Android has a default music app now that I think about it...You can also control Music Player with voice commands if you enable it in the S Voice settings.
i use tubemate to download songs from youtube because its the only way to find greek songs to download because all apps are for english songs, anyway i download from tubemate but the players i have used cant recognise the songs probably because they arent real mp3s. do you know a music player that supports them? also if its possible i want the player to show the music controls in the lockscreen as well. now im using music folder player but it doesnt have shuffle/ repeat or show controls in the lockscreen. if you know any please tell me.

Try Poweramp, Might cost you a little bit though. and if tubemate gives you an option, choose to download the songs in .mp3 extension next time.
Tubemate download the music files as .mp4 files but it will rename it to .mp3, i havr hacked it to the full version, cannot tell how ive done it or else im breaking a silly rule again, i can tell you in a pm

Good morning,
I would like to ask, why I cannot choose to play a streaming video (like youtube videos) with mx-player and I can only play the stream with the browser built-in player. I use opera browser, but I have already tested a lot of different browsers without seeing any difference; the browsers don't give me the option to use another player, they don't see mx-player as an appropriate app.
Also I tried, to copy and past the videos URL into Network Stream box, but it doesn't work anyway.
Thank You for the support.
I use tubemate to watch youtube videos with less res.
Instead of downloading you can select watch it and select any player you want.

I still would like to figure out if there is a way to stream/play youtube video's automatically to my MX player...
The reason I want to find out, is that youtube is fast becoming the new music player of today... just type in a search for a band/artist (ie. "michael jackson") or general selection like (ie: "salsa music") and you'll be listening for hours to your favorite music.
But using the youtube app or the native browser is not satisfactory, because they will both stop playing/streaming once you lock the screen of your phone.
So if I want to listen to my favorite music while running, I can not use these sources.
MX player has the ability to keep streaming/playing music while the screen is locked...
And that is why I'm looking for a way to stream from youtube to this player.
Help!?!
