[Q] Music Player Questions - Android Apps and Games

Hey guys, I was wondering if there was a music app that allowed you to change the volume control. The phone volume is too low for my taste. Is the EQ in PowerAmp good for this, and is it worth the price?
I've been using the leaked 2.3 music .apk and its fine for daily use, not car use though. Is there a good car music player available as well?

Mixzing Media Player, totally free.
Free lock-screen player widget, EQ STAYS ON, 4x4 widget is beautiful and automatically downloads music art (can turn that off to save energy if you want but it really doesn't use up much resources)

Is there a music player that has lockscreen controls?

i've tried searching but i haven't found anything satisfying...
does anyone know of a decent media player (i don't like htc's music player) that also has lockscreen controls?
i'm running dc 3.2.3, launcherpro.
any help would be great =)
might try cubed
it shows up as a small 3 in the market.
Try WidgetLocker, it let's you place any widget on the lockscreen.

I was looking for a music app that would let the power button or one of the 4 soft buttons play and pause the music.

bTunes works really well.
thanks for all the suggestions! i'm testing out widget locker right now, but btunes does look like a good player. i'm currently using zimly, how does it compare to that?
MixZing

I use Mixzing exclusively. Every once in awhile the album art does not show. But its a great music app.
Thirded on MixZing. Overall a very good player, however you have to upgrade to use the lockscreen widget.

Forgot about having to pay for the upgrade, but well worth it. I like how it auotomatically figures music choices to like and dislike behind the scenes so that shuffle play is more likely to bring favorite tunes.

widgetlocker is awesome.
+1 for MixZing
Widgetlocker is sweet, mostly... I only had it happen on 1 out of about 10 calls today(I downloaded it last night) where it would not allow me to answer the call no matter what.
I've wanted a music player with lockscreen controls for a while. Widgetlocker makes it so every music player can have lockscreen controls.

best music player?

I like Google music but the recent 4g outages have left me high and dry when I wanted to listen to my streaming collection. What is a good alternative to Google music that will give some control at lock screen. And/or can streaming be disabled on Google music and all content stored locally?
In google music, you can make albums available offline but that assumes you do it before verizon goes down again ;-)

I love UberMusic, it looks awesome with the Metro UI.
I like to use songbird, but that's probably because I like to use songbird on my desktop. There are better music players out there

I use MIUI's music player. It's nice!
Google Music with Equilizer app works great for me
Before that PowerAMP was great
Also using stock MIUI player... don't need anything else!
Depends on how you plan on your preference of listening to music. Google Music is great because it stores your songs on the cloud, so there's no need to store the mp3 on your phone. Spotify & Pandora are obviously great as far as streaming goes. As far as music players the Stock MIUI is really nice. Though the Sony Walkman music player is my current favorite due to the simplicity and being able to shake the phone to change songs.
I used winamp for some time, it's excellent because it has support for shoutcast radios... But it uses too much RAM it's a con...
Keep forgetting about google music... I been falling in love with the zune software so smooth and silky.
I second liking UberMusic
It has been one of my favorites.
I've also tried bTunes Music Player and Double Twist.
They all have their pros and cons check them out.
I didn't like Double Twist as much. Felt like I was being charged for every feature a-la-cart
I found Power AMP is best music player...

The only downside is, that it does not work together with HTC sense lockscreen.
But the equalizer with its precut works a lot better than the one of every other music player i tested including Google musicplayer.
power apm is the best one out there and i found that its working on ics 4.0.3 rc3.1 build with no problems and no duplicates

TuneWiki FTW. fricken love this music player.
O player da google que vem com o android 4 esta fantástico e muito bom

Meridian
I love Meridian myself, it has a nice player interface and lots of good features, with exclusion directories and video support.
I can't link yet but its org.iii.romulus.meridian on the Market.
Still haven't ventured outside of Google music, gonna have to give poweramp a try.

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.
Cubed and cm7 stock float my boat

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
I'm on mikrunny w/anthrax both support beats audio and it works with sense stock music player but not google player... Is there other free music players available that supports beats and be able to download my music from google?
Thanks

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.

Power Amp Player

Something that I have noticed with the stock music player is that there is very little customization that you can do to get a better sound. In search of better sound quality and more customization I stumbled upon power amp in the play store. I downloaded the 15 day trial to test drive it and instantly fell in love with it. So I purchased the full unlocker for 5$. I would just like to share my findings in case any one in the community uses there phone for music and listens to it a lot. Try it out if you want. The player is very customizable to you. It finds all the album art work, you can edit the tags for the music, change the equalizer, and much more.
Here are some screen shots

MP3 stops playing

Greetings,
T-mobile Galaxy Note Edge (Lollipop ver. 5.1.1)
When playing mp3 music file using the default media player, the music randomly stops playing about a few minutes into the first song. player controls still work (player hasn't frozen), but no sound, nor is there movement from music slide bar indicator. problem is still present when I restart the music app. the only way I manage to get the media player to work again is to restart the phone, then the media function normally. Is there a fix for the default player app, or an alternative player app that can be controlled by the bluetooth accessories (bluetooth smart watch, or headset)? Thanks in advance.
You might consider trying PowerAmp - it's a pretty descent music player app with tons of features. Not sure about bluetooth actually but you go ahead and give it a try - it's a paid app but got trial.
btotaku - Thanks for the advice. I can fess up a "$1.00" for an app. Does this app have full android integration, I mean that can the app functions be controlled externally by bluetooth (volume, rev/cue)?
Not sure about this but hey, download it for free and give it a try for 14 days; if it works and you like it you might consider it.
