Music player and Display are my biggest uses on battery. Display is already set to lowest setting, so I'm wondering if I can improve on the music player side. All I need are the basics: shuffle, repeat, albums.
Currently using Valhalla 1.2, stock music player.
Look for my stock music player on the second or third page of the galaxy s 4g themes and apps section. It is the stock GB music player, it works great and is better looking.
uber music is pretty good
Did you try the Miui music player that came with your ROM, its pretty cool.

I actually use Miui now. It doesn't seem to use much less battery than Music Player, but at least the controls work on the lock screen.
Unfortunately, the battery issue seems to be a problem with Android in general. Rather disappointing compared to my iphone, but not much I can do.
BTW, the battery life on KI1 sucks. I am sure they are fixing the problem.

Hmm... I kind of noticed that, but I thought it was just a battery calibration thing. I guess I'll flash back for now and see if it helps.
Thanks!

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.

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'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.

It does have a stock player. It is called "Music."

Yep and it is actually a darn decent player too. Still using poweramp since I paid for it and has an eq but the default music player imo is easier to navigate while on the run.

Ok so I looked through my apps and I have one called music but I'm pretty sure thats the google music beta app I downloaded. The Icon is an orange set of Headphones. My Epic 4G had a music player that had an equalizer which I loved!
Remember the Nexus is vanilla android, the galaxy is castrated by Samsung and touchwiz.

There are good free eq apps in the market that add a menu option to music apps using 2.3+. I like flat with my klipsch s4, but it helps greatly for my cold shure ec2. I use "equalizer" from smart android apps.
Look for the eq in the sound effects menu option. That menu option is only available on the playback view, not in any of the library views.

Winamp is a pretty decent music app for the Android as well. I use that rather than Google's stock music player.
Which rom are you using? I put the new google music player in becuase the market will keep telling you you have an update. TBH, I like the new one better anyway. If you want the aosp out-of-box player, I can give it to you.

The only thing I didn't like about the music player is the absence of an equalizer, but I dl'ed the equalizer app and it works flawlessly! Thanks
Ok I found this amazing app (in my opinion lol) and I thought I might as well share it out if anyone's missed it. It's wp7 music player in beta stage but the fluidity and the looks is really good already. Not a single lag. Try it
Another music player made by the same dev has better SQ than powerAMP btw.

Yh it's Better Music EQ and it's only better in terms of SQ. What I find better with this music player's tweaks i.e. EQ, bass boost, virtualizer etc is that it doesn't distort the music sound as much as powerAMP. So it's much easier to get clearer sounds with natural deep bass with crisp treble. The virtualizer, if used properly, can widen the soundstage without affecting other sounds

trying it right now, had few force closes when going back from homescreen to the player. sound quality is on par with my current mixzing player IMO.
lack settings menu. some cover art cannot be read.
overall still quite a nice option player

How to add lyrics in Zplayer ?
Hey so I listen on average about 2-3 hours of music per day and for whatever reason, all my music players drain my battery like crazy, around 10% for every 30-60 minutes. I do have an equalizer enabled but I don't feel like it should be consuming so much power. As of now, I have been using PowerAmp, MIUI player, Google Music, Winamp, and the stock HTC player. Any suggestions?
I like CM9 music player. I don't use it as frequently as you though and haven't really tested it in terms of drain.
I think the screen on uses way more battery, if you after constantly shuffling tracks.

I would try it out, but I'm still on Gingerbread . I'm planning on upgrading to ICS once a final version of Sense 4.0 comes out.

I'm not usually switching between tracks too much and I have my screen brightness down so I think it's more of the actual music player's fault than the screen.

Cut that Beats crap, thats no where close to a real Eq. You want to hear what real music was supposed to be like?
You want a powerful music player that has equalizers for nearly every aspect of your song?
You want to get the recently released jetAudio app. This music player is the most feature packed one I've seen and tried yet.
It is a player that is for Windows and it was recently ported to Android.
I blast Dubstep though my headphones daily so I needed a nice Eq for that. This is the best sounding player I've seen in a while.
It supports nearly every format availible, has insane amounts of equalizers, can change the speed of song, different effects (crossfade, cut, etc), can post to twitter/facebook for what you are playing if you want, has some fancy animations and more.
If you are looking for a music player then use this one.
Play Store Link (free): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jetappfactory.jetaudio
It is currently recently released so it may have bugs. From what I've seen its working 100% though.
Also, if you want an ICS themed music player, check out the Apollo app from CM9 (google around to find the apk). It is awesome as well and is themeable (it only has a dark and light theme as of now though).
Thanks, great find! Looks nicer than PowerAMP.
Great!
Looks great, I'll definitely give this a try. I just wish they decided to use the Holo theme rather than going for a shiny-iPhone skin... but I'm OCD!
Any idea if the headphone controls actually work with our phone? I haven't had any success with even playing/pausing using any other headset :/
Anyone have any feedback as far as comparing this to poweramp+beats?
