Fans of custom ROMs may already know that there’s a rewritten version of the standard Android music app coming to CyanogenMod 9. Well, the wait’s over, and you can download an alpha version of “Apollo” now.
Click here for the APK file – you don’t even have to be rooted, just install it via the standard non-Market method. Unfortunately, you still need an ICS device to use it. Source : Android Central

Apollo takes quite a lot of inspiration from Google Music, though there’s currently no way to actually access your music stored in the cloud. The interface has a lot in common with Google’s own player, though the color scheme is an off white.
Theme support is planned for the project. At present there’s not a whole lot that Apollo can do that even older versions of the default music player can’t, with the notable exception of a built-in equalizer.
One of the more glaring omissions is the lack of a landscape mode, a big disappointment to anyone who listens to music while their phone is in a car dock. Even so, it should be a solid alternative when it’s finished – lockscreen controls are already enabled, I will suggest you to give it a try if you’re looking for something a little different in your music player.
I hope that still the issues get sorted out soon.
There are already many things that need to change and the more I use it, the longer the list becomes.
Nice alternative to the stock music player, it's "recently added" tracks view is a nice feature when you're adding tons of music a day ^_^
I can't get it to work via AVRCP and the bluetooth in my car, but that may be a ROM limitation because no other app will work either >_>
Why don't they support Android 2.3 like Google play music :/

My bad just saw it on the site after I posted this comment already.
Really excited about the app finally some real super app for music: D
I used it for a couple months before it was rebranded Apollo, the dev never updated it, and it was buggy as hell. Now they took away the holo blue theme? Probably so they can release it as a paid add-on. FAIL. There are half a dozen better music apps than this.
Thanks for your sharing..

Hi all,
I use this website for several years now, thank you all for sharing all your knowledges, roms, etc ...
Today it's my turn to propote my app
I made a music player with file browsing, 10 months ago, and I updated it.
Did you ever have music files without tags ? (for example ripped from your CDs)
Did you ever add some music in a "new music" folder in your memory card, without knowing exactly all the artist / albums ?
Do you know the "unknown artist" who sings the "Track 01", even if your file name is correct ?
For all those cases, this application will save you
I should work fine on your phone but many of you have custom roms so I would like to have feedbacks.
You can contact me at [email protected]
It should work with any roms,
The UI can support from small screens (320x240) to the biggest one (480x840).
Thank you,
See you !
nico.
Congrats
It seems quite nice.
Gonna try!
Thanks!
I've downloaded and tried this app. It definitely works.
What I would like to see is a design that is more sleek. The music player for 2.1 is a good example of what I'm talking about.
post deleted
Looks soo cool & better than stock app.
I like it....would be cool to see some album art and maybe a paid version with no ads
seems like a decent app. the interface is very straigtforward and simple, but integrates well with sense. very cool that it is controllable through the applet (as it seems to to use the stock player for actual playback).
i have one suggestion: the fonts are unneccessary big in the file list, can you make them smaller or user selectable?
good to see more music players on the market, i wrote musicflow....
Looking good so far.
+1 for the album art and the graphics.
I have adfree running so can't see the advertising anyway, something you may want to think about because a lot of people have this program.
If I wanted adware i'd have a windows os
Any screens?
@cyberniko
Looks nice but after installation i started it and it gave me a FC on MCR 3.x ROM, didn't started any just launched app.

nice as i am

...for convinience

Do you have the android SDK and avaibility to see the trace of the app ?
My problem is that I plug this app to the music service. This music service has not the same name with htc (because of sense) than in basic android device.
I look the name of the device to choose.
If the name, or the service has changed because of a custom rom, it can be a problem.
Do you have HTC sense on this ROM ?
I will try to look deeper into the device to make this choice... I let you know if I find something.

Can you describe debug proces , never done that before.
I can give you the output of it, maybe it helps.
Tested on hero, works great. It's a really good idea - I'm surprised nobody else thought of it first.
Also, I know this is the wrong part of the forum, but I figured since the dev checks this anyway, and to save time for myself, I'd post here. Tried on N1, force closes when I try pressing buttons.
can't test it for now
but does this app works if i uninstalled the default HTC music player??
@cyberniko,
Don't know what happend but i'm unable to reproduce that FC that i had.
I'll keep you posted.
great job!
Nice. I like this better than the stock
so i test it yesterday, and don't seems to work fo me (i recall that i uninstalled htcMusic.apk )
the app is running but saying that playlist is empty with no way to edit it (or i'm totally blind )
XAM will be a open source android media player. It will be the end all media players of android media players. It will provide music playing and library organization via subsonic integration, video playback via mplayer integration, and podcast subscription via developed code.
XAM is inspired directly by the Zune player interface, learning from both the successes and failures of said interface.
XAM's goal is to provide a simple and error free interface that is both functional and beautiful. Also to provide customizability of both the full client and individual features in the premade client.
Here is an example of our current concept interface.

Looks nice. But I can't stand seeing previews for things I won't see for almost a year :-\
2012....
Oh right. Gotta get your app up before the world ends.

Oh, that's more like it.

Bring it on!!! I gave up my Zune when I got my EVO. No need to carry the extra device. But, I really miss the UI. This looks great.
Don't forget about equalizers and ID3 tag editing support.
Sent from my X8 using XDA App
any update on a beta yet? very curious, giving up my (broken) zune and switching to android full time. want to see how you handle podcasts, that's the one thing i haven't found that works anywhere close to the zune. they're always clunky manual operations.
Any news on this?

In 2012, Apollo became the official music app for CyanogenMod. It was beautiful, functional, and completely customizable, as you might expect from the world's most popular ROM. Today, Apollo is available on the Play Store.
The player comes in two flavors: regular, and +. Apollo+ removes ads and offers quicker updates for a mere $0.99. On the subject of future updates, there are a number of features that are promised to come soon, including tablet support, concert info, customizable widgets and notifications, and Google Dream support. For those wondering, gapless playback isn't a planned feature, it's a current one. Go to the source site and get the download links..
You can grab either the free Apollo or the $0.99 Apollo+ via the widgets below. If you're running CyanogenMod, the player probably came bundled as a stock app. If you want to install this one for whatever reason, you may need to disable the stock app in Settings, or live with two identical icons in your drawer.
I don't think Apollo+ is the same as Apollo in Cyanogenmod: according to the Play Store it works on Android 2.3 and has a different package id at least. I think CM users deserve Apollo+.

Glad to hear that, I currently only own a couple of phones, so I haven't had the opportunity to test on a tablet - so thank you for your feedback, I appreciate it. One of my current priorities is to provide a better layout for tablets (no promises), the current one is pretty much only optimized for phones. If there is any setting, or feature you would like to see implemented or improved, feel free to suggest it.
I'm on a 7 inch tablet so not much bigger then a s4 or note...I think the layout is fine for my screen size...Also I will leave feedback on the play store later after work

Sadly *.ts not recognized as media type, so I'm unable to play it via VLC. Is it possible to add this? I'm also missing a dark theme.
/edit
Looked into your sources, and I think this should do the job:
Code:
sMimeTypeMap.loadEntry("video/mpeg", "ts");

I have added the following formats, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.ts
Code:
sMimeTypeMap.loadEntry("video/MP2T", "ts");
sMimeTypeMap.loadEntry("video/MP2T", "mts");
sMimeTypeMap.loadEntry("video/MP2T", "m2ts");
Hopefully that will allow you to playback your content.
Works very well.
Fast Thanks you for sharing it free with source.
good, but
Thnaks for a good sample of Simple is Best.
but, can you add auto-repeat feature ?
It's a must func for easy-listner/viewer of many short music/video clips.
Is it possible? I am annoyed that it only works with Samsung Music and all the rest have to rely on the typical ugly notification controls. I was hoping something like this would be possible: https:// www.xda-developers.com/how-to-add-third-party-music-apps-emui-lock-screen/

Musixmatch I believe has this feature and player pro does I'm not sure if any others do though but will keep an eye out

First we need to find if it's an API that allows for full screen widgets on the UI or is it's an app specific thing or both. If you replace S7's Samsung Music with S8's you get the updated look (that also is not matching the aspect ratio of S7 so it's a bad idea to do) which makes me think it might be a combination of things, like there is an API that allows such thing and the app is responsible what will be projected in the end.

Actually a set number of apps have a lockscreen overlay which is what Samsung music app does screen is still locked when displaying the controls but with player pro there is a full lockscreen with music controls etc... And unlock swiping and musixmatches is pretty nice
Musixmatches lockscreen

Nice! My only issues with both of them is that their implementations is fiddly and they don't support gapless playback. Music Pro says it does but it fails to in a terrible way.

You can check out BlackPlayer Pro on PlayStore. I've been using it on every phone that I had, isntead of the stock music player. There is a free version and there is a pro version which costs about 2 dollars I think, totally worth it though. It also has built in tag editor, option to download album art etc. And you can edit the way it shows the notification on the lock screen (only you'll have to buy the pro version for that). Would not change it for a thing!
