What is the best radio app for talk stations and music stations?

RadioTime ,.... IMO

Droidlive is good and its free unless you want the one without ads then you have to pay for it. Either way great app

Podcast player?

Can anyone recommend a good podcast downloader and player for the evo?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

I really like DoggCatcher.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

I use a separate player and downloader, because I haven't found one solution that meets all my needs. For downloader, I use Dpod. It's functional without being overly complicated. It has a player built in, but I prefer Mortplayer. Astro Player is also very good, possibly better than Mortplayer, but it's buggy and the UI is hideous.

doggcatcher is the best.

Beyondpod for sure. Easy sorting and lots of options. Well worth the 7 dollars.

I'd recommend DoggCatcher as well.
'tuna

you can use NewsRob and/or Google Listen

I've been using Google Listen for my podcast-listening nees but I'm not happy with it and didn't even think to see if there was better (since Listen is directly from Google.)
Seeing how few people use listen, I think I'll try some others, starting with DoggCatcher.
Listen is a Labs app, pretty much meaning beta. I always get errors and it never remembers my place in the podcast and makes me re-download the entire episode. So frustrating!
Good thread.

True. Still havent decided on one. The market has a few to choose from. Im going to try out doggcatcher next and see what its like.

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
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App

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.

You can totally change that in the settings

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

[Q] Music Player?

Whats the best music player out there for Android? Also is there a music player out there that shows the top 25 played songs kinda like itunes?

I myself have not found a real good high quality music player. some will say Poweramp, but to me its not the greatest. I am going to try doubleTwist and as you can see in the thread I just posted, doubletwist is supposed to be really good so give it a try

Power amp is the absolute best. But if u want an ipod look you could use btunes. But neither have top 25 most played. I think google music might have the top 25 feature though.

I like Winamp. Solid player with wifi sync.
Sent from my A500 using XDA Premium App

+1 to PowerAMP, I don't think it has top 25 played, but if you knew what those songs were you could always make a playlist of your favorite songs. It also has a built-in equalizer that can really improve the sound quality if you have any crappy sounding mp3s. My 2 cents.

Thanks guys Poweramp is great! I just wish it had the top 25 songs option. It's cool though

I've been using Cube Player myself. Works pretty well, and it's free. I haven't tried any others, though...

I purchased them all. Mixzing premium has grown to become my favorite. I've used player pro, lithium, btunes, power amp and cubed. Lots of good choices out there.

I LOVE DoubleTwist because it now supports AirSync (Air Play) which streams to Apple TV which is great for me since I own Apple TV. Plus I just really like the UI and how it works.

i like lossless music
So for now I'm trying andLess.
It's bare bones, but it plays my Apple lossless files. Before I always had to make a separate set of .flac files. Now just one version does me in both places.

I love Google music, but I'm also on the beta.

I'd like to use their Beta with cloud storage but until they allow you to upload an iTunes playlist no thanks. I'm not going to let it upload all 6,000+ songs. Would take forever! At least the Amazon player allows you to choose playlists!

I uploaded 20,000 songs it didn't take that long. It's nice having all that music not take up room on my phone. I love google music!
THUNDERBOLT

Right now I'm digging UberMusic. It's from the same guy who made Launcher Pro. I'd check it out if you're into a light and minimalistic music player.

Doubletwist is the best
I recommend doubletwist and if you buy airsync you can transfer through wireless

I'm partial 2 AMZ cloudplayer, until they cap our GPRS

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*

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...
