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?
GT i9000, Gingerbread 2.3.4 (JVQ build), Rooted
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?
Hello.
I am currently using LG Optimus Black with Android 4.0.4.
I installed Last.fm app with hope I will be able to scrobble music using default music player (which I find simple and useful).
On 2.3.4 scrobbler was working perfectly but now it doesn't even detect that I am playing music.
What can I do to help it?
Is there addon to get google music to display lyrics? I use musixmatch when I want to read music lyrics, but the player is ugly, has ads and won't recognize the songs uploaded to Google music using WiFi, tunewiki is pretty much the same situation.
IMO this should be already a stock option :banghead:

It would be nice to stream music on this thing; I know you can add songs to the phone, but is there any music service that can be streamed, like pandora/spotify etc?
thanks!
