Any good music players out?

I cant stand the regular music player.. its horrible... is there a better player like the galaxy s or sense music player available... I have the latest darkslide 4.2 rom and this will put my phone over the top

try miui music. that seems to be all the rave. I personally love the 2.2.1 com.android.music.apk... but don't know if its compatable with droid x.. can be found in the eris forums under development/froshedyo/version 7. long press volume to skip tracks but a similar UI just no visuals so it runs smooth

Doubletwist with AirSync.

PowerAmp. Best player out now, sound is terrific, and the EQ allows for audio tweaking to fit anyone's taste. Costs 4.99 in the market, but is definitely worth it if you care how your music sounds.

I use Winamp
Its free on the market
It can do wifi sync if you have Winamp installed on your computer

I use mSpot. Its an awesome cloud based music player

+1 More for PowerAMP.

Lithium user here...and I personally love it.
The UI was just so original that I had to have it. I even went through the trouble of asking the dev to put it up on SlideMe market...as my bank won't allow charges in a foreign currency.
*OT*
Goddamn market...I swear...please convert currency FOR ME so my bank allows me to buy foreign applications...Too many times; I've wanted an app...but had to pirate it because it wasn't in the market or SlideME.

Player Pro (Paid) or Lithium Player (Paid). I hate the stock android player - no intuition whatsoever. I hate Apple products but the iPod/Phone music player is very nice.

I didn't hate the stock music player, but I downloaded the "leaked 2.3 music player apk" and I love the look and feel to it. With that app open, it feels like I am on an actual mp3 player and not a phone.

Glad to hear it. Mine worked amazing up until changing a few phone files for theme-ing. Now my music skips when running in the background if I'm doing any type of navigation on my phone (scrolling through apps, looking through facebook) Have you run into anything like that with the leaked app?

I use the winamp player, its pretty good

I've noticed this. Also, tons of forcecloses with the honeycomb music app.

One of the forum members on this site leaked a new motorola media player, its been reviewed on several droid blogs to be great, but apparently Motorola made him take it down.

tried real player yet? its not bad

Official Vevo app now in the market

The official vevo app is now in the market. I just downloaded it and its amazing!!!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I896 using Tapatalk

What exactly does this app do?

I can't find it. What is it?

Who knows? But it's amazing!!

The wait is over!!! The #1 online destination for music videos is now on your Android phone VEVO lol

Is vevo is **** that is all over youtube music videos
4gCM7

I can't find it in the european market (spanish at least). Can you share the .apk?
Thanks!

Thanks! Too bad there's now video commercials between videos though
For those who don't know what this is:
http://www.vevo.com/
It's like youtube for artists' videos.

Its only for USA i think

Very nice app so far.
Minor annoyance is that there doesn't appear to be a way to default it to HQ. The video has to buffer, then start, then you click HQ, then buffer a little more, then plays.
Maybe they do that so that people who don't know any better just play the video without HQ and they save on the bandwidth?

Can someone post the .apk? I am in the US, but since I am using a Brasil Milestone2 I do not see this application in the market. If this is a paid app then nevermind. I am not trying to pirate anything, just would like to try this out.

it seems it was removed from market as fast as it was posted

You sure? Still listed on appbrain

I just downloaded it from the market

This app didn't work well for me at all. It likes to force close, alot. Like someone already said if you wunna watch in hd you hafta wait for it to buffer and then hit the "hd" button and then wait for it to restart buffering and then you can watch. But even once the hd video was loaded I wasint impressed, it still didn't look very good on my phone. I'm using a droid X 2.2.1

Good Podcast App?

Who recommends what for a good podcasting app that doesn't break the bank, and free is even better!
I currently use Listen, but as with anything from Google, it's not very intuitive.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Roger

Wow...I thought for sure there would be a couple feedbacks by now.
Hmm...guess I'll stick with Google Listen for now. I'm aware of DogCatcher and some others of that caliber, but I was hoping for some secret I wasn't aware of. Lol

I use listen also I dont tthink there are any better alternatives

Sadly, I think you've found the best there is. Listen is buggy and lacking, but especially if you're a reader user, it's the best I've found. Seems like a big opportunity for someone to fill the gap. If only I had the time.

try .Podkast it allows favorites, download or listen live etc. and does video podcasts. Its a pretty good one.

Stitcher.

Doggcatcher is what I use, its worth every penny. Does everything Listen does, just does it better.

+1 for .podkast. Stitcher only streams. .podkast streams AND downloads shows to your SD so you can listen on a plane or somewhere with no service. I use this app all day err' day!

+1 For PodKast
I drive from Portland (Oregon) to Spokane (Wa) and back daily. I download about 3-5 (mp3) podcast's daily. There's an option that shows you new post's too.

Free Music MP3 Downloader v2 removed from market

Looks like Free Music MP3 Downloader v2 has been removed from android market. I like that app ...Where can i get it?
thank you for help

Yeah I know it! I miss it too. I was running gingerbread and flashed backto froyo cause of the battery issue. I went to the market to get it back and it wasn't there.

I liked it too and when i got my new phone it was gone. I found mp3 downloader Pro v1.3. it has lyrics, album search, more mp3s, and all that kind of stuff. Its the one with a blue icon and a smiley with headphones.

Isn't that app warez?

Whats app warez?

Here's a definition of warez.

Go to the market and download gtunes music lite. I did that the other day and after it installed it asked if I wanted to download the non market version so I could download music. I said ok and installed it. It works great!

The best apps that have been pulled from the Android Market...

NOTE: These apps do not exist on the android market any longer because they in some way violated the market's ToS.
I thought this would be a very informative thread for everyone to add to, though I can only think of a few off the top of my head. Please, Add great apps that have been pulled from the market to the list.
I have updated the list to refelct all those mentioned as of 01-04-2012:
Grooveshark - stream songs and playlists via your grooveshark account
WifiKill - view and kick off users on a wireless network
ShootMe - screen capture app
Super Mario live wallpaper - watch mario go through three levels in the background
Icestream - Stream or download movies, tv shows, music, and more for free
Ghosttown - use youtube to search for and stream songs
Gtunes - Search and download single songs
Gameboid - Gameboy emulator
Bitsblock - A tetris variant
Snesoid and nesoid emulators
Openhome launcher - a launcher (unsure of why it was pulled...?)
These types of threads have been done before, but usually are more along the lines of "best apps to have for root users", etc... I am interested in knowing of more and will add others as I think of them. Please contribute!

I like this idea. Ill come back and add more as I think of them..
[*] Gtunes - allowed you to dl music
[*] Applanet - check it out (last attachment)...and if you like it, i'd love if you hit that *thanks*

REFLEXIONS, an awesome game, was pulled from my tablet's market. Though it seems to be on my EVO's market. I don't know why, but i don't play it on my evo. I need it on my tablet! ;-;

WifiKill is not found in the market.

I also hate when an app isn't available for your particular device, even though you know damn well your device can run the app (having tested other ways). The whole Market thing is kinda frustrating. And now I have to have the Google Market AND the Amazon Market for my apps, and neither will just filter the FOSS apps, which is what I mostly want anyway.
I think bitblocks was the best version of tetris yet on android. It was removed. Also Snesoid, and Nesoid, though I understand the author was violating the GPL, so what can you do....

ShootMe..... very nice n funny... so tx for share... love dat game...
