I'm working on a new music player based on VPlayer, please tell me what do you need? - Android Apps and Games

We are the VPlayer team, and developing a new music player.
Some plans:
Kinds of music format support;
Music video support;
Basic music player operations;
Unique control style;
Support for the disabled;
...
So, what do you want for a music player? Any comment is appreciated

Support not just video, but music as well, so I don't have to have a couple of apps instead of one.
Definetly want to see an equilazer for music, and contrast/brightness settings for video.
Better file browser (smaller icons/labels, more info on files, sorting, bookmarks)
Playlist support.

Any pics of the interface?

Yes, but the UI has not been completely finished. Please wait for my updating posts. Thanks

1.SPPEDUP without changing pitch, slide with regulation from slow to for example 400% faster.
2.Option for removing silence for example when someone is slowly talker spaces between are long and this is really boring to listen such audio book or smth.
So it would be nice if player would have option to delete silence with regulation like delete when voice db is lower than 3db and delete silence when silence is longer than 200ms etc.
It would be good to listening audiobook.
This player could just prebuffer some music into memory scan it for silence in separate thread and delete it but this is technical so you know it.

will it also be "free forever"? SCNR.

Equlizer good bass support, a simple lockscreen widget
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

flac/ogg support! homescreen/lockscreen widget!

Why ?
Once the finished works for sale
The user on XDA are your guinea pig

HD Video support for all the formats...!!
At least make sure it supports 720p videos..!!

Good UI, some widget and a lockscreen. Not much, but essential.

Music listing by folder!
Just like what Mortplayer does.

link to twitter
can u add up a link to twitter so we can tell ppl what we r listening to?
that would b great. thanks for this brilliant idea

Good looking UI and good looking widgets (multiple widgets even better).
EQ.
Smoothness.
Shake to switch songs?
Gestures

See Audiogalaxy ... copy its streaming abilities from my PC to my phone. But also add support for photos and videos streaming if possible.
Make sure to include a gesture based lock screen widget, exactly like Mixzing has. What is great about their lock screen widget is that it reactivates the screen for a few seconds when a new song starts. That gives you an oprotunity to quickly see what is playing, and swipe to skip to next song if you desire. Great function for when you are driving!
Include an easy to use Playlist creator.
Keep the user interface simple and minimalistic looking. No need for fancy graphics. Simple goes a long way. Make sure the Now Playing section shows the album art as big as you can. We take a lot of time tagging our music with artwork, so we want to see it.
Seriously, see Mixzing's app. They have almost the perfect music player. The only thing it lacks now is streaming abilities. I would like to use it to stream my media from my PC, like I do with Audiogalaxy. I use Audiogalaxy exclusivly now; even though it lacks a lot of the fuctions I really want from Mixzing. Streaming has become that important to me for my media players. Screw the Cloud, give me access to MY pc.

-professional-looking widget (lockscreen and homescreen)
-ID3 Tag Editor (something unlike PowerAMP where you edit tags of music files and becomes unplayable on other music player)
-prominent album art display in now playing screen (but not too big)
-Headphone support
-beautiful UI

screen lock
i have one more thing if some one hasnt already said. SORRY FOR NOT READING THE WHOLE FORUM. can u gyz get the system to lock the screen with a tap on trackball so videos wont keep on skipping while we have our phones in our pocket..plz
sorry for my bad english, i hope u understand what i mean. cheers

a beautiful audio/video player FINALLY!

double twist media player is out in market now! very nice UI. id say best looking player we have so far
btunes > double twist
It's stupid that you need their syncing software to add media. They don't even support linux
U dont. I just unchekd "auto USB drive" in settings, and it found all my songs.
it seems ok but I prefer 3 (cubed), I think its prettier ^^
Killer feature though is that when skipping through a track you can grab the position indicator and drag up the screen to change sensitivity just like on the iPhone. That and that alone makes this the best player for me.
Bring on an EQ and I will rejoice!
I think the best players are: 3, Nemo, and this. Anyone of them can be considered pretty.
I just discovered this music mod for the default music player.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=690180
just installed it and I have to say its pretty.
My main player is 3 but I think i'll stick with this music mod.
DoubleTwist doesn't hold a candle to cacheinjection's stock music mod. Not even a flicker of a candle.
It would be great if it could sync with my Google Listen subscriptions fron Google Reader

the only reason for why i dont like 3 (cubed) is that it doesnt have the option to show the list of song titles

yes it does. menu - view - boring, then pick the artist/album and the song list pops up
I use Meridian. The only player that lets you browse by directories, and the only player that supports some other languages for song titles. I dont like playlists
Can someone post the APK for doubleTwist? I'm currently in asian and a TON of apps don't appear in the market.
Thanks in advance
The only issue I have with doubletwist is that it doesn't let me point it at a specific directory, and for some reason it makes and keeps it's own media library xml.
So far no problems here, for me the app is working perfect and love how quick it loads up the videos an I have 100's of them
HTC Incredible

what i mean is showing all the song titles like the stock music app
DoubleTwist player lists your audio that's on the microSD card that's in \alarms, \ringtones, \notifications folders.
Very annoying if you have a lot of ringers.
Stock music app doesn't list those folders.

[Q] Nice MP3 Player with home screen and folder support?

I am looking for an Android player that is pretty simple but i do not see why its so hard to find?
All I want is something that lets me play MP3's.. that does not scan the entire device (ringtones always seem to show up and I dont want them to)
something that kinda roots itself on the SD Card in a folder like "Music"
with a nice home screen
AND
somethign that will resume the next time it's open. for some reason the media player that comes with my Captivate seems to wants me to start all over when i dont use it for 30 min or so..
simple?
thanks for the advise

PowerAMP. It's in the market, and has a really nice EQ setup in addition to what you're talking about. It's in beta right now.
http://power-amp.info/
thank you, Downloading and testing this now. I will keep you posted on my impression!
There is one in alpha
Try this one. It pulls data in from the music folder and allows for pause, fast forward and rewind. However it is still in alpha...
Meridian player has most of the features you are after such as Folder browsing and resuming Videos. Plus it has decent widget also

+1 for Power Amp
Player pro does the folder playing and is very simple, got some nice widget aswell
MortPlayer is another nice light alternative that meets your criteria. There is also a version of MortPlayer specifically for audiobooks that allows you to make bookmarks in your sound files.
I actually use both PowerAMP and MortPlayer: PowerAMP for general music listening and it's very pretty UI, and MortPlayer for listening to long recordings of lectures so that I can consistently come back to where I left off.

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!
edit: oops double post, please merge with http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=945642 if mod sees.
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!
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I go between doubletwist, zimly, MIUI, and everything else. For videos I usually go with rockplayer, mvideoplayer, or the default music app.

[Request] Music App

Hi all, I am looking for a music app that's easy on battery.
Criteria: Must work without media scanner
I have disabled media scanner, so literally all music apps I got from market can't seem to pick up my audio files. One works -- Music Folder Player Donate. I am looking for something like it, that reads based on folders, or scans music internally, rather than relying on media scanner.
This app is all nice, but it is missing navigation controls in notification dropdown. I am looking for a music app that would provide me these controls too. I am not too particular on lock screen music controls.
Have you tried PlayerPro?
How about mort player, has a nice widget too. I personally use power amp. But i feel mort is just as good. And free.
I would first like to try a free one, n then can upgrade. And then it should be easy on battery too.
Edit: Mort is packed with so many features for a free app!!!
The trick is that you need to check if the player supports GAPLESS playback. Most do *not*. So any live stuff, albums that blend songs together (Pink Floyd is notorious for this) will get a nice annoying pause in between songs that was never intended to be there. Even if some claim they are gapless they in practice are not (believe nothing, test everything). The app needs to actually trim any small dead spot at the end or you will get a click or pop at the end of songs.
The only player I found that does this successfully is Power Amp but there could be others, I just haven't found them yet.

My main criteria is low processor usage when to maximize battery.
Mort is good. Of the time I had the player on and screen off, it was on 200 for about 90% of time. CPU foreground was only 14s for about 47 mins of usage.

Very sorry guys, i was very busy last months... I uped a new release yesterday, with full material redesign, and some transitions. Hope that you enjoy it.
(The link posted at the first answer is availble now)
Very good app
Hi. First of all, great work! :good: It's a nice app (visually and conceptually). Anyway, I have some opinions and suggestions.
The app don't synchronize the album covers very well. I have a folder with 906 songs and it only downloaded the cover of a Franz Ferdinand's song.
i.imgur.com/HEnkMSw.png
The memory consumption is a little high, almost the double that other player (GoneMAD is a music player full of unused options).
i.imgur.com/MSl5xto.png
i.imgur.com/35bYCqa.png
I miss some options like Ticker notifications, Inactivity timer, lyrics viewer, sort songs by artist and delete songs directly from the app.
P.D: Sorry for my bad english

Hi Llamero. Thanks for your report! I 'll try to get working all these suggestion..(maybe the next thing will be a playing song screen). App syncronizes de cover of first song that has metada in the album. It costs lots of resources/time each ask for last.fm API. And yes, i have to clean the code in order to consume less memory
Hi guys, I have updated the app adding a playing song screen, so, i think the app (remember that is a simple music player) is more complete now.
You can see it at last atached file, Give me your opinion please!
Hi @erauskin!
I was looking for a simple music player and this is a really good option.
I'm using since last 2 weeks and can tell....
1- Didn't found a way to delete a playlist not a track inside it (Opened a folder and later deleted some tracks, they are still there... No way to remove them.)
2- Sometimes player pauses itself when passing to next song, then I have to press "pause" button in order to continue, it's pretty annoying (can be something with my phone?).
3- A timer function could be nice.
I'm using Lollipop 5.1.1, CM 12.1 in a Galaxy S3.
Keep the good work!
Last update allows to Cast directly local music files to Cromecast.
Try and comment please!
Nice player but how to add cover albums? I store on sd card cover (folder.jpg format). Please help me
