Btunes. Looks like a copy of the iPhone music player, but it's actually very good with lots of settings.

but it doesnt support a wide range of formats, more specifically the aac format.
Is there something like the VLC player for android?

I like the look of bTunes, but it sometimes messes uop album art. Not showing correct artwork for the song!

I found realplayer to be able to support the widest range of formats including aac.

i still like Zimly

Does anyone know if any players support FLAC? So far I have tried meridian, AndLess, AMplayer isn't compatible (2.1 only). Has anyone tried FLAC on btunes? Its too bad theres no trial.

Is there any player that can display Lyrics that are embedded in MPe tags like iPhone does when u touch album art while listening to the track? It kinda displays very neatly on a transparent pop-up page which you can scroll. Of course, it should display that only when lyrics are embedded in the MP3 tag and not search for them online.

Meridian plays flac files.. but u have to add them manually, Play by folder doesn’t play the flacfiles.
so you don't have flac ID3tag and flac file in Music tab. It does not show AlbumArt when playing flacfiles.
andLess plays flac also andLess on AndroLib haven't tried it though.
If you can live without FLAC or wait til we can have it native as in CyanogenMod, MortPlayer AndroLib is relly good, my number one music player

I love the cube player '3' pretty hard to find in the market so search on 'Filipe Abrantes' he made the app. Its a beautiful app!

That player is indeed impressive visually. But it's lacking in functionality right now, but it's a beta so I'm sure it'll improve with time.

I use Astro Player Beta, very good, great sound and also has an EQ which makes a difference

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..

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?

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'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.

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.

What's a good radio stream player for Android?

I try different stream players from the Android Market but no one works fine. I have 2 players with streams TuneIn Radio, that's a good one with lots en lots of streams all over the world. It's a pitty that you can't add streams. I have also WunderRadio where it's possible to add the stream URL.
But I'm looking for one player not with streams, only a player what plays the stream wher you click on a website with streams like tuned.mobi.com or something and where you can add stream URL's. There are lots of it on the Android Market but lots of don't work. When I click on a stream, it download the .pls file or something and put in my downloadhistory and when I click on it it opens in the standard player but can't play it. I'm looking for a player to play in all stream formats like mp3, WMA, AAC+, .pls, MMS:// etc. There was a good player on Windows Mobile, the TCPMP player. I like an alternative of that player. I hope someone can help me.
I think Tunein radio
X2 tune in is the biz

Yes, I use Tunin Radio but I'm looking for only a player what play streams in many stream formats (mp3, wma (windows media files), .pls extensions, aac+, etc. etc.) and where you can add streams to your favorites.
I like streamfurious. Pro is expensive, probably not worth it with how the dev is (Not lazy, but not communicative either, doesn't update too often).
But once installed, it should all you to load a url in the app. If it does not work, the url in the browser should. (I have a custom m3u playlist, it loads from the browser, and streamfurious takes it from that point, adding it to its list).
I might not sound very positive about it, but I really do love the app.
Try XiiaLive Light in the market.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using Tapatalk
If you're on android 2.2+ Winamp has built in shoutcast which streams many radio stations. The stations are also listed in genres which is handy. Winamp also plays music on your phone better than the stock app.
XiiaLive is the best in my opinion.
Winamp is nice, but it has a few bugs in it, and I couldn't get it to automatically resume playing after calls, or on a dropped connection/buffer.
Xiilive and Winamp I try them both but no player works fine for me. I don't want a player with lots of standard stream but only a player, nothing more, nothing less. Winamp have lots of bugs and can't stream the channels in the shoutcast directory and also not Window Media Player. Also the option with clickable links in the browser are not working. I'm looking for a player what can play windows media streaming formats like asx, wma mms:// etc. and who have a the posibility for clickable streams on websites in the browser.
Motorala music player ist good for streaiming radio
I'm having pretty good luck with bsplayer, for both audio and video streams. bsplayer even seems to be able to seek direct mp3 streams, which most other players seem to either not be able to do, or do not do correctly. requires byte-range server support, of course.

I second this. The recommendation of xiialive was so "understated", though, that I almost didn't take it seriously... after trying every other app that anyone suggested, and having them ALL fail completely. Well, JustPlaylists was able to play some pls files (never m3u, though). These posts (this complaint) are so old, though, that I lost hope that any app could manage this BASIC functionality. Even the n7player (full trial version) was a complete fail. Xiialive works fantastically well, though. Plays all pls and m3u files, whether local or on a webpage. Plus, the rest of the app is very well done, as well. I love the alarm feature , which allows you to schedule a "program change". You can make this recur on any selected day(s), as well. I set it so that it automatically starts playing Mind Over Matters at 9am (EST) on Sat and Sun, then switches to KPFA at noon. The list of "built-in" stations is extensive (there are 2 different "repositories", which I don't fully understand, but the advanced one contained all the stations I wanted (WORT, KEXP, Free Radio Santa Cruz, etc.). Reorganization of stations from the original categorization offered was also simple and intuitive... as is the whole app. I have no connection with this app except as a happy user who was SO glad to find someone, apparently, who can code... not just use the limited android media functions.

Best Media Player?

What are the best media playing apps, of any variety and quickly why? If there is not one that does this well, list individual ones for music and video.
I am compiling a list of the best apps of each category, so leave your opinion and a quick reason to help out the community.
If the app costs $, be sure to say so!

Best music player in my opinion is MIUI Music
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=854766
Very nice UI, downloads album artwork and song lyrics (with option to only download when connected to wifi)
Lyrics are highlighted in sync with the song.
The app is free.
For hardware video playback, mVideoplayer is great. Subtitle and automatic subtitle downloading, gesture support, loads of other features. Is free with ads, I think, but I have those blocked so I can't say for certain. For software video playback... Rockplayer, plays most files perfectly. Costs money though. There's also moboplayer which is free, it's in beta and kinda buggy though, but looks promising and plays most of my normally unsupported files well. Also it's not on the market.
As for music I like doubletwist, it's free and has a nice, clean GUI.
Vital Player
It's free, open almost all format, and is on the same level of Rock Player...
Bump!

I go between doubletwist, zimly, MIUI, and everything else. For videos I usually go with rockplayer, mvideoplayer, or the default music app.

Best android music player

Which music player is the best?
I got Winamp and I really see no difference between Stock and Winamp. Stock actually looks nicer in my opinion.
I have been suggested Player Pro, but it's not free.
Any suggestions?
Also a big thing for me is the ALBUM ART. Both Winamp and stock have LOW quality album art. My pictures are HD quality all the same size, yet they have blur and low quality. Very annoying!
Google music is good

PlayerPro or TTPod
Try the PlayerPro trial, it's a very good player.
I also like TTPod which includes lyrics display too.
For lyrics compatible with most players, try MusicXmatch.
AudioTagger is great for ID tagging and album art downloading.

The best thing about Winamp is that it could replace your lock screen, allowing you to control the music without unlocking, I have tried several and always come back to winamp
+1 for Winamp.

For the lock screen function, +1 to winamp.
I usually just remote desktop and stream from my computer though to access my huge database of music. (Gotta waste that unlimited data plan Somehow!)
Poweramp
Full graphic EQ with presets. Fully customizable plaer engine and Skins. With lockscreens
Poweramp was the best i tried.
EQ, themes, widget + easy to control
And MixZing is good as well but it hasn't got good interface.
Hi. My not sure if this is the best place to post my question..so sorry in advance

Ok so I tried the Poweramp Trial.
It DOES have the high quality album art which matters to me. You can change the size of the album art as well.
The interface is ok, I still think stock music player has the nicest interface. The colours though are the best. the widget matches nice with my background.
The volume on it is higher than stock and equal with Winamp.
So maybe I will buy this one, but try the others first.
The lyrics don't matter to me. Mainly just looks, organization, and album art.

If you are after a plain, and simple music player, i would recommend tiny player. It runs smoothly on my phone. It also consumes less RAM and CPU process..

If you pay WInamp it has Full EQ too, easy to use, u can sync it with your desktop via streaming, Full album art, kinda workig shuffle, I've been using Winamp in my desktop since '98 so I completely trust winamp
Yes maybe the stock one looks better and use less resources, but In custom roms, i dont know why, everytime I pair it with bluetooth with my car, the phone just freezes, so I need to use a different one, so Winamp is my move
My favorite has been Google Music w/Volume+ as my equalizer.
I can't remember if you have to be rooted for Volume+ (it's been a minute since I've played with it), but it's a full featured EQ that you can set the phone speaker and headphone EQs separately. I also have all my music uploaded to Google Music so it takes up no space, works just fine and I get a full featured equalizer.
Pro tip, you can get Volume+ for free if you go to the developer's website (accessible in the Android Market). I bought it though, it really is quite good.
I use Poweramp its verry good cause you cabn choose different style of sound like bass, classic ext. But it paid.
I heard that Neutron Music Player is the best up to now. It supports lossless songs, and sound quality is great if used along with DSP Manager. You can search for reviews on Youtube.
However, that's what I heard. It seems that Neutron MP does not support my Gio. What a shame.
