Hey everyone, just wondering... I synced some iTunes playlists through doubletwist with my captivate, but I noticed I can't actually view what's in my playlists with the default music player. Is there any way to do this with the default player? Also has anyone else noticed that the music player feels a bit laggy?
This is kind of a must for me, and I don't really want to blow 250 bucks on a new iPod.
Thanks
edit: other apps that function better than the stock music app would also work for me...

Was wondering if it's possible to download an app to play music other than the stock media player. If so, does anybody have any recommendations for a good one?
Yes. Try cubed (cool interface) or mixzing(lock screen widget).
I use double twist.

I use doubletwist. I tried mixzing (love the possibility to get recommendations) but it shows all my compilation CDs as individual albums on the Album screen. Their only solution is to move all the songs to its own folder. Don't want to rearrange my library.
I have actually gone back to the stock music player as it actually indexes my playlists correctly. I am syncing my library using iSyncr and it seems all other music apps except the stock and doubletwist pull up multiple coppies of all my playlists with all but one of them empty.
I really liked doubletwists look and feel, but at the time the lack of a lock widget was a dealbreaker (not sure if they have added one yet). the biggest drawback with the stock app IMO is the inability to go forward and back tracks via the headset controls. But it seems even the apps that do have this still are flakey with the controls.
A friend bought bTunes and that also looks very nice and has the lock screen widget, but still has the playlist issue.
I didn't notice any settings in my newly purchased Infuse that would allow this so I wanted to check, is there an add-on app or setting I'm missed that will allow the screen to stay on while the music player is playing?
this is an option that i don't believe the default player has. there are several media players in the market that have this option. i use PowerAmp, best player in my opinion
Thanks any thoughts on what is considered the most feature rich player?

people seem to like doubletwist because it integrates with itunes i believe. but as far as features, i believe poweramp is head and shoulders above the rest. it autoplays on headphone insertion/bluetooth connection. it has its own lockscreen controls. it crossfades between songs and kills the silence at the beginning and end of tracks, making for a professional dj sounding club mix. the only shortcoming is, it doesn't directly handle m3u files, but this will be fixed in the next release.
Much appreciated.

Rockbox is the most feature rich, not on the market though. You'll have to hunt for the apk.

You can do this using tasker.
I was browsing apps the other day and saw Tasker... it seemed a bit daunting so I didn't look in to it closer... (as an aside I'm probably going to stay with the default music player as I like its integration and swiping capabilities), but it looks like I can use tasker to replicate a feature I did like from poweramp (launch automatically when headset is plugged in), and the keep backlight on... guess I'll give it a whirl.
Thanks again.
edit: Stumbled through setting up the task I wanted related to the music player this morning.
Worked brilliantly. Thanks!
Hi All,
Apologies if I'm reinventing the wheel here, but I'm looking for a good solid music player app for the Note, as the bundled music hub doesn't cut the mustard with me.
Any ideas? What are you guys using?
Thanks in advance.

Power Amp!! It's amazing how you can hear your old music completely new and improved through your headphones.

Neutron! The GUI is a bit odd but the sound is excellent. Renders the music in 32 bit.

this is the one i have been using for almost 2 years now, its perfect! give it a try...
What about battery usage of the app you post?
The stock music player is very efficient when using FM kernel. While biking for 2 hours and listening a mp3 it loses just 6%.
Is one of those apps have music controls in the pulled down notification menu??
I used to have playerpro but it doesn't have those controls, only stock player has them but then the stock player dosen't have a widget!!
Any ideas would be great

PowerAmp all the way
I use PowerAmp... awesome sound quality!
Have used WinAmp, but sound quality is pretty basic, although it is good otherwise.
PowerAmp doesn't have player controls in the taskbar, but it does have a decent widget. Also, had problems when upgrading to the full version where it corrupted the sd card within Android and had to rebuild it in windows before android would recognise it again. To prevent this found that uninstalling the widget and disabling auto-scan folders before installing the full key helped. No problems since.
Guess the other thing to mention is file transfer. I'm not really fussed on built in file transfer as I just copy and paste my folders to the sd card syncing the phone as an external drive. PowerAmp doesn't have any built in file transfer that I'm aware of, whereas WinAmp has wireless transfer which is supposed to be good.
It's all about music quality for me though and PowerAmp wins by a loong long way in that department.
Happy hunting, hope it helps
Try 3 it has a very cool interface

Ubermusic is quite good I think
Cloudskipper, hands down
Another vote for poweramp. It's not free, but it's far and away the best - in my opinion of course.
Poweramp - i've tried all others, but poweramp is just full of pure awesomeness
Google music player is by far the best player. Stream all your tracks without taking up space on your memorycard

Simple,
Powerapp all the way.
I use my phone alot for music(Who doesn't) and have gone through nearly every music player trying to find the best one.
Tried all the free, Then tried all the paid for ones, The best by far is poweramp, Simply because it handles the music so perfectly and the sound quality is superb.
Trust me when i say, You won't regret buying it, Plus you can try out the free version before hand.
Agree with the PowerAmp people. It's just the best!

Player Pro is the best.
I use PowerAmp on the Note and MediaMonkey on the PC to convert my CDs to FLAC, which PowerAmp can read. So I get lossless CD quality on it.
This is just a general question so I hope I got the right area.
Well my "issue" with it right now is that I got a lot of comp discs on my phone I listen to, but it's annoying cause it lists them each as there own album, just with the same name. They all have the correct tags and album names, but for some reason when I goto the album view it shows them as each song being it's own album with the same name.
Any idea why it won't group them together properly?
So what music player do you guys prefer?
I like Google music app in the market, its free, works and looks good as well, its the same music player as used in ics. I like the cm7 music app, very simple and easy to use, also android music app in the market

thanks in advance. soryy 4 my english. it's not my native language!
i use the phone to lisen to music while i jogg.
Poweramp lets you choose the music folder you want, make playlists and control from headset, loads of options. Try it free for a while and see how you get on. Also sounds great too!
done! installed winamp pro!

Never realised winamp pro was free!
Looking for that time ago. I'll try winamp
MixZing is also a nice music player with eq, playlists, lockscreen, sleep timer... Free version is enough to play music everyday
I prefer vanilla music. I think it's on the play store but I got it from
F-DROID.

JetAudio Basic (free) is still best (or buy regular what ever)... believe me
