I thought there's already a thread on this?
good music player?

Looking good is one thing, functionality is another, and the best all round player I've come across is Meridian. I've tried a good few players but nothing, in terms of functionality comes close to Meridian.

I like DoubleTwist as it is simple and the widget is simple also

+ 1 for doubletwist. Cleanest look and very easy to use.
Plus, it has a great 4x1 widget with cover art, artist + title and control keys.

Which players have equalizer?
I know mixzing has one but ... what other players?

Cube ! The best I have seen so far.
Sent from my X10i using Tapatalk

3 aka Cube is great....

Yea, Cube can be great ... but is not that great when it search all my SD card for music and finds sounds from games, navigation software, etc.
It takes me a lot to "scroll" between meaningless "music" to find what i need.

There are many music players.
for me i am using Mixzing because it has Equilizer and has gud headset support.
Othar than this Astro beta version is gud if u r not using headset.

Try gomusic..

+1 bTunes
The lockscreen sold me. And the black theme looks great on the X10.
Only thing I wish is that it had ratings, so I could rate the music I listen to. But otherwise, it is well worth the few dollars.
Cube 3 is nice, but a little but flickery when scrolling.

Yeah, no doubt it is one of, if not thee best looking, but it's a long way to go before user friendly.

[Q] not one decent musicplayer!

hi all,
as an older user, i have ripped all my vinyl and my cd's to mp3 on a dedicated
hard disk. Every album ripped to a folder with albumart.
I have a dell streak 5 inche and a archos 101 10 inche mobile and tablet.
I have no intention to synchronise all my albums to my streak and or archos. It's just stupid! I just want to see the coverart like i see it in silverjuke and then just stream the music from my harddrive to my phone or tablet.
The new musicplayer from honeycomb was close for the coverart but i still cannot stream the files to my phone or tablet.
- excemple of silverjuke coverart

Anyone an idea or suggestion..an musicplayer that just keeps the coverart and the links to the files on the tablet or mobile and streams the musicfiles over the network.
You could try AudioGalaxy.

cruzin_cruzing gives you the very best advice for streaming your music and you dismiss him because it doesn't look like silverjuke?
Seriously, that's a douche move bud. Either take good advice, or search for something yourself. And just so you know, you won't find any app better than AudioGalaxy for streaming your music right now.
Audiogalaxy is amazing I'm able to play on my phone my entire 40+ gb music collection on my phone. It streams from your computer, you can even queue the music you want to play next. Its really ingenious, I like it!

If you don't want to register on a site then "Subsonic" does pretty much the same as Audio Galaxy, but without the registration. You will need to open up your firewall to allow the connection in to the pc though.
I'm using it now and really impressed with it.

Yeah, and then at the end of the 30 day free trial, you'll have to "donate" to keep using it on your android phone...

yeah cause it's still not the musicapp i'm looking for.
If i want to stream and play something WITHIN my own network, i don't want to
1. install a server or something like that on the hostpc
2. register on a website to do something on my own network
es file explorer can stream everything from my shares on my network, so i don't see any reason why others can't do it with a musicapp.
so still waiting for someone to make it
Have fun waiting; or you could always write your own app. Have fun!
Edit: BTW, you should change the title of this thread. You're not looking for a decent player, there are many of those around. You're just too picky and like to easily dismiss good alternatives.

Music Player Controls in Notification Pulldown?

Is there any app that allows you to put functional music controls like play/pause, back, next, etc... in the status bar pulldown? If not, is there a way to have them? Like a rom that has it or a way to flash something?
CyanogenMod7 has this.

I have heard from others that CM7 has this. So I'm interested in knowing if this is true or not.
Supposedly, with a control bar app called "widgetizer" you can put a widget in the notification bar that will cause a pop-up music control when pushed. I never got it to work on my SGS. And I hear it only works with the Android stock music player, which I don't have (and it does not seem to work with the 3.0 version of android music player).
The SGS has a music player which has controls in the notification bar and has a good lock-screen widget, but that widget only runs on the stock SGS lock screen (and SGS variants/descendants. . It does not have any home-screen widgets, but that's sort of unnecessary because of the notification bar controls. However, for some reason, no one has tried to extract the music player, controls, and lock-screen out of the SGS and make it into a flashable package. I would like that now because I''m running a ROM (Darkys 10RC6) which does not have the stock Samsung lock-screen.

try settings/CyanogenMod settings/Interface/notification power widget
if you can see that option there, you should be able to enable it and use it.

It sllows you to create your own widgets, even in the notification bar.
i know that option..
but iwant more than that..

ics (cm9) have it..
but what i want to ask is any other music player do that??
as im not quite really like the google music,,as it have no option to show lyric..
thanks

Media control from lock screen

Does anyone know how to get media control from the lock screen? It's annoying to have to unlock my device every time I want to skip a song. Why hasn't SE realized that people want convenience?!?

Please rate the app.
Great plugin. I was missing this spline in timescape after updating to gingerbread.
There is one difference with the original plugin however. The original displays artist and song, where yours displays album and song.
Looking forward to seeing more great plugins from your hand :-D

I prefer album, because sometimes mostly music id3 tag will have the album inside, but artists maybe various artists, or empty or other thing.
Let see the public feedback and decide the changes later
Great job, I really missed that
Also one request, can you make it so that Timescape is once again linked to the camera, so new camera shots taken show up in a splice like in 2.1
Thanks.
Thank you very much, it's great

I don't have Xperia Arc, but i downloaded the system dump, checked the Music Player code, and its sending the same broadcast message as Xperia X10 Music Player.
There are some reported glitch saying that sometimes you need to reboot after installation, or the best is reboot before installing the plugin.

design choice?
Wouldn't it make more sense to show the entire album artwork rather than leaving half the screen blank? Or am I the only one who feels that way?
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
I agree. I think it looks really ugly. There is room, so why not show the full album art.

+1. Feel the same way. If not the fullscreen album artwork (or whatever shenanigans they could do) we deserve the rest of the space being wallpaper or something other than a black empty screen.
Ahah, I agree with you, looks kind of weird. o:
I have gotten use to it now. It doesn't look that bad I suppose. I still wish they used the screen better. I think they made it like this to match the calling menu. It looks very similar to the screen I get when somebody calls me. So maybe it's to make the UI more constant?
i think this is an example of effective use of whitespace to separate the unlock section from the player controls.
This allows the user to have more functionality in one screen without compromise the content. So you get your album artwork + player controls + your 2 or 4 way unlock menu in an uncluttered layout.
Good design choice IMO
Excellent choice of music, by the way.
poweramp has a really good music lockscreen with not just the normal play/pause and forward/backward controls, but also with star ratings and shuffle/repeat controls i think
Perhaps its so that it also displays correctly when using pattern lock?
wow that's actually pretty clever O.O

Now that is the first good answer to this question. That must be it.
Still, I would think they would employ a better solution that this. Either allow the album artwork to take up space based on the unlock screen you are using, or have an entirely different lockscreen like other music players.

As much as I'm a Google fanboy, I'll admit that they do have a tendancy to half ass things. There could be a good reason or the engineer could have been simply distracted by a humorous T-shirt.
