Just moved from a much loved HTC HD2 WinMo with EnergyROM over to an HTC Desire S (God loves free upgrade handsets, lower monthly bill and much more benefits) and I'm looking for a top notch free solution for a flac player.
Any thoughts?
I downloaded a 'Free' app from the Market, which happened to be a free trial, and I don't mind using it as a stop-gap but I thought I'd come to see the experts to use their wisdom
Oddly enough, Winamp from the market didn't want to pick up flac files.
Although not free, Power Amp supports FLAC and is an awesome player.
However, check this out for a free FLAC player. Can't vouch for it, but seems to have been well received on the thread.

I thought there is a free and a pro Power Amp? Or are you saying that the FLAC is not available in the free distro? Anyway I would recommend it and if your going to stick with an app you really should cough up the dough IMO.
I found two flac players for now. PlayerPro and PowerAMP. Player pro can't play properly. PowerAMP can play but have some issues. PowerAMP is recommended. By the way it's not free in legal
There is an app called andLess available through market which is free and simple FLAC player.
i prefer the music player in cyanogenmod,, it can play flac music too
Just to add to this thread, WinAmp pro plays FLAC now, though it is also not free.

I bought Power Amp and forget about the other players
Maybe ttpod? Its free, suports flac and have nice EQ
i use the Rockbox android port and it plays FLAC just fine. The best SQ i've had on my phone. Though there are some issues with understanding .cue files, the player is good.

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

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.

+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!

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

+1 for WinAmp. Been rocking it for PC since it came out, and now rockin it on the Tbolt
Not sure if you guys know about JetAudio but it's one of the best media players available for PC's and has been my media player of choice for the past 7-8yrs. Plays almost any media file you need it to, is a file converter, audio trimmer, etc.......well now it's available for Android!

Hmm looks really good and it's free! I just feel bad that I'd be loosing $5 from Poweramp though
I have PowerAmp too, JetAudio is cool but i'm so used to PA that it's gonna take an exceptional experience to unseat it. This is kinda like the Zune trying to uproot the iPod.....Zune showed up just a little late to the party.
Yeah. It sounds really good, but for some reason it's not picking up the tags for my flac files so their all under "unknown artist".
Jetaudio is good but i feel PowerAmp is better

Can't agree more bro, I have got these Sony MDRs that I have ordered from infibeam thinking they will be great, which they are, but i am surprised with the other sony headphones which i have won in one of those facebook contents, they are incredible, I believe Sony gives them away with Live with Walkman.

I searched the forums for this and did not find it.
bsplayer is the best video player for Android ever! It will play any media file that I throw at it. It will also stream VOB files from a share drive!
I am not the dev for this but I wanted to give him exposure so that more and more people use it. For those who have used it what are your thoughts?

It's a matter of personal preferences of course, but I've found that MX Player interface suits me better, but otoh I also keep bs for local network streaming which it does much better.

in my opinion , RockPlayer2 is the best media player on android, with really great UI and performance, and It has some unique feature, like 'Rockshare" , users can share their videos with friends just use their phone, but not exchange SD-card.
yes, after installing dozens, this is the only one that plays my 4 gig 720p DTS audio mkv file. But the video color quality can be better.
I always go back to vplayer

I'm currently using poweramp, good for equalizers and album art, however I've only been using it since switching from Vipers, which was using the HTC sense music player, I absolutely loved that one... Appolo could be much better in terms of album art distortion, Google Music Player is pretty decent but not as good as miui music player, all opinions of course
(side note: if anyone has a way of getting the HTC music player to work on cm10 I'd love to know, or if anyone knows of a similar music player)
Happy flashing!

IMO, the best music player is PlayerPro. been using that app for years now. has a customizable EQ, swipe gestures, features like crossfade and gapless playback, syncs my songs with Last.fm, has skins/themes, etc. I have the paid version, but check out the free version first
