I've been looking for a while, and I was wondering if there are any good clean apps that have a pop up display of the song playing while not in the music player app? The ones I've found so far is Tune Pop and Music Popup. They do what I want, but not quite as clean. Does anyone know of any other apps similar to that? Or is there an app developer here who would want to create one? Thanks for any help in advance!
Oh yea, another thing to add. I would like something that isn't so intrusive. Something like a simple toast pop-up would be fine. Thanks!
I will make it if i find some time. If someone else want to do it there is some tip.
"To get a track specific information, you could invoke the MediaMetadataRetriever to provide the relevant information. One example to get all the file specific information can be found in MediaMetadataTest.java. "

Thank you, but that too is a little obtrusive. I don't like how it takes over a large space.

... that have a button to skip forward/backward 5-10 seconds with a single button press?
Google's Listen app does this, but unfortunately cannot play mp3s downloaded outside of the app.
TouchMusic can kind of do this, but... it's just a horrible app...
Anyone know of an app that does this?
Doesn't the default app do this? if you hold down the buttons instead of pressing quickly.

Holding is not a button press. I specifically said button press for a reason
Also, I'm on the Desire ROM which doesn't have the holding functionality anyway.

Ok seriously people. This is EXACTLY what I was talking about just a few days ago: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=6003685#post6003685
I am asking for a very simple and specific request. Please stop telling me to do other things which are obviously not what I asked in the original post. Jesus F'ing Christ!!
GAH!!!
Using the bar to move backward 10 seconds in a 90 minute file is frustrating and almost impossible, especially when driving, running, or any other time when I don't want to fiddle around with trying to move the bar one tenth of a millimeter.
Does anyone have any input on the actual question that I asked?
sorry no.. if you find one let me know please.. i am looking also.. the built in app is crap.
no equilizer..
no effects...
no add to playlist other than one song at a time.. etc. etc.
the music player in my older i8910 is much better.

I suggest you file a enhancement request here http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/list .
You shouldn't expect everyone to analyze your every word.

No, but I have some input on life: Stop being a sperglord about volunteers offering alternative suggestions that work on the actual issue and not the very specific implementation you requested. If you don't like it, you can stop posting.

I don't like your attitude or your swearing when people try to help you.
People understood clearly, and are offering alternative ways, unless they knew that such a thing existed. Don't like it, stop posting.

Sounds like you are looking for a mp3 player that might cater more toward audio books/ podcasts.
I needed something similar recently, I think AudioBook Player or MortPlayer Audio Books might do the trick. If those don't work, check other apps that handle audio books in mp3 format.
It's 2010, why are you still running around with a single 90 minute mp3?

Perhaps muncheese has never heard of a podcast?
I try not to spend hours at time listening to other people's opinions.
I've never "understood" the appeal of podcasts, so I wasn't aware they don't even have the decency to organize them neatly for listeners.

Hello!
I have a galaxy S2 (original ICS) and I want to be able to hide (exclude from scan) some music files from showing up in the music player. I looked for music apps that could do this but cant find any. For the pictures I use quickpic where you can choose which folders not to show. It seems really weird to me that there are no apps or an easy way to do this.
I know there is a .nomedia trick or whatever. But its seriously that difficult to have this built in in an app? There is no other way?
I googled and tried to find info but there doesnt seem to be a good music app that lets u do it. Im willing to pay for an app too so it doesnt have to be free.
Hope someone can help.

Power Amp Does this. Over all best music player on the market. Paid? Yes but well worth it.
Ok I downloaded it but I didn't find that function. Where in the settings is it. I must have missed something.

I want a ringtone that's unique, maybe something from a video game that isn't heard often. IE: Metal Gear codec ring.
I tried the sonic drowning countdown, but it just isn't doing it for me. Just doesn't sound right as a ringtone.
Any suggestions?

I'm going to be a really pedantic fu**er right now.
Dictionary definition of the word 'Unique';-
Being the only one of its kind

Therefore the only way you will ever get a truly unique ringtone is if you record a noise or tune that you have created or written and ensure that nobody else is ever able to copy it.
Failing that, just think about what you actually do want, go and search for it (try SoundCloud for some ideas that you can possibly copy out) and decide what you like.
OP, post your request here or just monitor this thread maybe you can find what your looking for...
There are apps, that allow you to make your own, check the GPlay Market, Thank you and Thread closed.

In instances like this, it's friendly to post what the problem was and how you fixed it.
That's so when someone googles this exact same problem and they find this thread, they will also find a sollution and not just the question. See the cartoon in my signature line for an amusing view of why this is important. :good:

Hi,
I'm somewhat surprised this doesn't exist yet (or does it?). An app that pronounces the title (and maybe the artist) of a track (maybe by text-to-speak reading the ID3 tag). It's quite annoying (to me, at least) when I listen to an album, I never know what song was playing without a glimpse at my mobile. Can someone develop that, or does it exist yet (and weren't my Google-skills up to par?).

Looks interesting.
However, the person would have to develop a completely new player. Ok, he could also mod open source apps like Apollo.

yeah, but that's why I mentioned the text-to-speach-thingie, you won't be needing a new player for that, will you? Just that all tracks have ID3, right?

You need to recognize when a new song starts and which one it is. Therefore you need your own player.

There is no need for cracking. You just need to use an open source player like the great Apollo.

I am sorry, but I am a busy at the moment.
I am developing apps which I really need.
What you could do is sending a mail to the main developers of Cyanogenmod and suggesting this feature.
