[Q] Music Player with visualizer? - General Questions and Answers

Are there no music apps for Android that do visualizations? I've been looking forever and can't seem to find one.
I have my Galaxy Tab mounted in my car and right now I just use the VU Meter and Wave live wallpaper but then I need to swipe down to open the music player back up if I need to pause it.

I think due to the hardware, none were developed. Now that more phones are being released with Tegra chipsets, I think we will start seeing music players with visualizations.
My bet is keep an eye out on MixZing or PowerAmp.

[APP] [REQUEST] Music player and video player from samsung galaxy s

I am tired to use the same music player I want something different in my nexus one froyo like the music player from samsung galaxy s somebody help me plz
I have tried to adb the odex and apk for the Music player from the galaxy S and it doesn't show up. This may be due to the fact Im on froyo or something related to the system framework. Either way I think it will have to ported in order for us nexus users to be able to use it
You can find the full dump here:

cheers
Any possiblity for a port in the near future?
You do know that the music players are basically the same, right? The only difference is a Cover Flow like view when tilted in landscape view, on the Samsung player. If your so tired of the stock player, there's plenty of alternatives on the market.

I'm very happy with the DoubleTwist player coupled with the desktop app

[POLL] Which music player are you using?

As a follow up to this thread, let's determine the most popular music player.
Lithium the best
MediaScape not included in the list.
Thread moved to D&H Android General.
Sadly, I think the stock player is the best one yet. The volume rocker and trackball controls are a nice feature. Plus, it just looks nice having the album art as a black and white background while selecting a song.
I have tried several of the more popular players and found them to be fairly ugly and plain.
I remember reading somewhere that most media players dont even have their own audio support, they just use the default/built in audio engine of the regular player anyway...
Stock is working best and with the device controls for me right now.
Subsonic ..... It allows me to have all my music without trying to fit it on my phone

Streamfurious, as I don't really use local mp3s.
Stock music player is so primitive it cannot be the best. Maybe most popular if it's good enough for many people, but I think some other players in this poll are better.

There are many competing streaming music apps (btw Rdio opened to public today). Should make a separate poll for them.
MortPlayer
I've used MixZing, MusicMod, doubleTwist and Meridian
So the conclusion is ... inconclusive. The stock music player seems to be bad enough so that people are trying out other players, but there are no clear winner among non-stock players yet.
Default stock Sense music player is best to me.
I personally prefer RealPlayer. Currently it's in the Market in Beta stage. But it's incredibly clean looking, and easy to use. Plus, I don't have to put my music, video, or pictures in set locations on the SDCard. I can put everything where I want without loss of speed.
I like the stock player on my Captivate.. but for me it lacks lockscreen control and scrobbling. I have been trying other free ones that fit my needs, and may settle on 3 (cubed) for awhile.

Id personaly love to see winamp, been using it for years and think its great.
HTC Stock because I don't really listen to mp3s on the phone (ipod), Retro Radio for streams

[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.

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.

Android music player track listings and numbers

Android Music Player (stock) vs UberMusic and Google Music. I'm not a huge fan of the stock music player on my Samsung GT-i9000. Tried out UberMusic and Google Music but they both add track numbers to the front of 40% of my song titles. This makes it pretty difficult to find specific songs (because I don't know track numbers anymore, if I rip a CD it doesn't even rip in the order of the CD). Since my android player displays the song titles correctly; I am thinking there is something I can do to fix it in one of these better music players.
Anyone have this issue? Suggestions? Any better music players?

The Quest for an Android Music player that does A2DP bluetooth and a lockscreen

Ok Folks before you flame me, please allow me to elaborate:
yes, i DID search (but couldn't find anything specific).
yes, I DID try several things on my own (see below for details)
yes, the things I'm looking for in specific seem to not exist in one package.
Ok, with that disclaimer, the setup
AT&T Galaxy note running Black Star V2 with Apex Launcher 1.2.2 / Android ICS 4.04. (Please note that these issues ALSO APPLY TO THE STOCK Gingerbread software that came with the phone).
Ok folks in short, I am looking for a music player that can do ALL 3 of the following (every single music player I tried, and I tried tens literally does 1 or 2 out of the following list, but not all):
1.) Pin-lock friendly lock screen music controls (my email is an Exchange acount which enforces a pin lock) [Poweramp does this well]
2.) Persistent player controls even when no music is playing (this is VERY helpful to start playing music after a while) [Cloudskipper is the only player I know of that does this!]
3.) Full bluetooth track / ID3 streaming to the stereo. I don't think this issue has to do with the bluetooth stack because the stock player and/or Google Play music both work. However, their UI (and/or lock screens suck big time)!
Software I have tried:
MixZing
CloudSkipper
Stock Android music player
Google play Music player
Apollo
doubletwist
Winamp
Poweramp
Rocket Music Player
Zimly
Songbird
PlayerPro
n7player
MusicXmatch
NRG Player
Astro Player
(and more that I can't remember off the top of my head).
Can someone please help?
PS: Sorry if this is posted in the wrong forum. I had no idea where to post it.
I'd settle for option 3 only. I don't like the stock player either, but it's the only one that sends the music info to my carkit.
I haven't tried as much as you, but I haven't found any yet that do this.
Im with you dude, It would be nice if I could see what songs are being played on my deck. But android doesnt seem to be able to send that data.
If the stock player fulfills all your needs, except for the lockscreen, why not try installing widgetlocker as your lockscreen and using a music widget of your choice?
