This is just a general question so I hope I got the right area.
Well my "issue" with it right now is that I got a lot of comp discs on my phone I listen to, but it's annoying cause it lists them each as there own album, just with the same name. They all have the correct tags and album names, but for some reason when I goto the album view it shows them as each song being it's own album with the same name.
Any idea why it won't group them together properly?
So what music player do you guys prefer?
I like Google music app in the market, its free, works and looks good as well, its the same music player as used in ics. I like the cm7 music app, very simple and easy to use, also android music app in the market

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
Was wondering if it's possible to download an app to play music other than the stock media player. If so, does anybody have any recommendations for a good one?
Yes. Try cubed (cool interface) or mixzing(lock screen widget).
I use double twist.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
I use doubletwist. I tried mixzing (love the possibility to get recommendations) but it shows all my compilation CDs as individual albums on the Album screen. Their only solution is to move all the songs to its own folder. Don't want to rearrange my library.
I have actually gone back to the stock music player as it actually indexes my playlists correctly. I am syncing my library using iSyncr and it seems all other music apps except the stock and doubletwist pull up multiple coppies of all my playlists with all but one of them empty.
I really liked doubletwists look and feel, but at the time the lack of a lock widget was a dealbreaker (not sure if they have added one yet). the biggest drawback with the stock app IMO is the inability to go forward and back tracks via the headset controls. But it seems even the apps that do have this still are flakey with the controls.
A friend bought bTunes and that also looks very nice and has the lock screen widget, but still has the playlist issue.
As anyone with a fairly large music collection will attest after a while you become a little id3 tag OCD, but this is downright bizarre. Besides the fact I can't find an android player that acknowledges the tag "album artist" so that compilations can have their proper artist tags and not gum up your music search I know have the problem of one song on one album for no good reason being separated from every other song on the album despite having identical tag information for everything except the obvious track title and track number tags
does anyone know of a decent tag fixer for android, or a player that acknowledges the album artist tag properly (playerpro does not, it hides the tracks from albums that do not have match artist album artist tags)
I'd also like to find a solution for that. Hopefully someone here can help
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using XDA App
the only solution i have found (and believe me, i have tried many) is using Google Music. It groups everything PERFECTLY. the only problem i had with it (besides no lockscreen controls wtf???) was when linking my google music online acct it got all fudged up again. so........just download google music and choose to not link to your online music and everything is sorted perfect.
Try PowerAmp. It's the best music app to date. Every track, album and artist are in the proper album with the proper album art.
fixed at least part of the tag issue, turns out android separates albums by the publisher tag as well and for some reason although I had edited it, it had reverted back. "fun" does not begin to describe this. It is sad that Android does not have a really good music player. I've looked at all the suggested popular players, and quite frankly I find them all lacking. I know my standards are high, but the fact that all but playerpro, and poweramp can't acknowledge folders and instead read all media files on the device, none can handle podcast and music, and none handle compilations well really lead to a bad user experience. unfortunately nothing I've found does it better either.

The market, I recommend syncing everything from your pc, it saves room and it fixes all my tags

Is there a way to transfer music from my PC/iTunes without losing all of the information such as album artwork and artist name? Just, when I transfer an album over at the moment, it puts some songs as individual albums instead of with the album their with. For example, I transferred over Some Nights by Fun (great album) and, whilst most of the tracks were fine, Carry On was listed under a separate album. Anyway to avoid this?
Any ideas?
Music Folder Player
Google Play: Music Folder Player
"If you regularly play music on your mobile Android device, then Music Folder Player may come in handy.
It can be annoying when playing ,music without tags for example of your ripped CD’s without downloading the ID3 tag. How about when you’ve added music in a ‘new music folder in your memory card without knowing exactly all the artists/albums? Well, the dev of the app, XDA forum member cyberniko says this is where his app can help.
Music Folder Player is available as a free version in the Market, and the dev is looking for feedback on tablets."

My friend ,
I'll try to explain what i've done with my mp3 library
It's all about the tag stored in the mp3 file itself
There's more than a version of this tag
One file can contain more than one version
That's make the conflict
I'm using a wonderful free software on my pc called mp3tag
There's nothing you can't do in the tag
Give it a try

Maybe you could give Mediamonkey a try instead of itunes... It also allows syncing with Note.

Ps. Not affiliated with this vendor, just sick of the bloated itunes and found a nice alternative.

I use this This is the greatest program I've used! I love iTunes for some reason, and this app syncs everything perfectly for me. I'd highly recommend it. It doesn't sync play count or stars, but that's OK. Playlists are all that I need and a fast easy interface.
I mean it does, but only the ones it automatically downloads from the internet. I don't want those they're like 100X100 plus I don't want it downloading these things over mobile network. I have all my musics tagged with high resolution album art, I wanna see those.
of course, my files are tested and they work with other music players, some show reduced quality jpeg, but Nutron Players shows the origional.
Apart from completely unable to see any of my album covers, apollo is probably the best music player (yea I tried them all, 38 of them) on android. so I really want this to work for a perfect experience.
Same question/problem here...
