Hey everyone!
I've been a lurker here, and I thought an app I created would be useful to some people on here.
My app is called Equator Music Player. It's is completely free and aims to use YouTube's large library and wrap it all into a music experience, not a video experience. It's super easy to find that one song with the card design, and the app just looks good. It's a premium experience at no cost. I personally made it after getting annoyed at Spotify ads and after realizing how inconvenient and disjointed YouTube's music experience was.
Here's the website: greatarcstudios.github.io/Equator-site/
Go ahead and check it out. I'd love some feed back. It's Windows only as of right now. Porting to Mac is a bit hard because it's tied into a lot of Windows binaries, which would require a large rewrite. I'm looking into making a Wine port though.

the real player handles video, music and photos...
I think it works very good for videos. the music player is too much like the default player and the photo browser pulls from a random folder rather than viewing all your picture folders.
anyways it is worth trying out
nooo, not real player on android!
Hope its not like the PC version at all.

lol i was thinking the same thing. All my real player did was freeze all the time on my PC
This response is to reinforce my distaste for RealPlayer, their business model, their apps, and their lack of openess since their earliest inception. I can only hope that Android people do not show any interest in RealPlayer and allow it to die through lack of support/interest by the community.
UI sucks, file management sucks, options(lack of) suck....this needs serious work. I have no idea why they would label this beta. It might be 'working', but I wouldn't want my name on it, that's for sure.
I dislike real too (have for at-least a decade), however since they have embraced android and took the time to create an app, I'm willing to give them a chance to redeem themselves.

Just checking some input on what selection of music related apps. Favorite UI, options, visualizer, equalizer, lyrics, and widgets of a media player.
Best id3 tag writer, or auto-tagger. If there was a legit one, that would be fantastic.
Best app for cover art.
Including apps that give show info, like jambase.
I've tried plenty of media players, haven't really found an all-in-all favorite. Im using music mod atm.
I have auto-tagger, it cleans up my music a bit, as well as writes the tags. I also have mp3tagger and iTag. Together they get the job done. Very slowly. Pretty time consuming.
Cover Art Downloader is my favorite album art fetcher, by far. Bought it. Bout it.
JamBase of course for my tour dates. Id like to find more.
I have all kinds of the music downloaders..literally about 6. They are good to some extent, other than ads, and bad quality.
I could dig me some of a good torrent app. I have a friend with a jailbroken iphone 4, and I have the captivate. We are competeting. Im winning. Only good things about his are the mass amount of expensive games he gets. also he gets torrents offline, and downloads them using only his phone. Id like that on my captivate.
Whats your music apps pack?
Hi all! I did a bunch of searches trying to find out the best App for downloading or streaming podcasts, but the results were scattered and few. So I decided to compile a list of the best podcasting apps for android out there (with links) and ask the rest of the community to review the apps and make suggestions. As new apps are suggested I'll edit the list so that a bunch of podcasting oriented apps can be found in one place.
(Links will be placed as soon as I can. I'm new to posting, not to research. Search for these in the marketplace.)
Paid:
BeyondPod (7 day free trail)
DoggCatcher
Pocket Cast
Free:
PodKast
PodKicker
PodKicker is my favorite. It updates automatically, streams and downloads podcasts (with the RSS Link), has a simple player UI, and best of all IT's FREE!
what about listen?
As a big podcast listener, I have tried pretty much all of these. BeyondPod was the best there was on WM, but I don't quite feel this way on Android.
On Android, my personal favorite has been Pocket Casts.

Pocket Casts is easily the best podcast app I have used. Also it is frequently updated and the developer is more than helpful.

just bought this app thanks for the heads up , ive been using listen for ages,,
Pocket Cast looks great, but I'm a bigger fan of free apps. Being a poor college student and all...
devnulldroid suggested Feed Sponge & Stitcher on another thread. Anyone else use these? I'm trying Stitcher out now.

Well, I had trouble with it streaming. An error would always appear. Also, the market/search was horrible.
But what does everyone else think about listen? If I get enough people saying they're on the Listen band wagon I'll add it to the list.

On using Stitcher for awhile I've found that it's a solid app for main stream podcasts, such as NPR and CBS created podcasts, but lacks the ability to upload through a link. There are a ton of podcasts I listen to that weren't in their market, so that's a down side to me.
which one gets the best battery life? pocket casts seems to drain my battery pretty quickly, I mean I guess the phone can't sleep while playing audio but just wondering if any get better battery life when playing than others.
what podcasts do yall listen to?
Was skimming thru the latest threads and decided to reply (Incredible 2)
.podkast used to be awesome (on GB) but since I've been on ICS it's only offered in foreign languages (from the market).
It had absolutely EVERY podcast available.
-Truckin'-
Podkicker, one of the very free that has managed to find every podcast I've searched for...most of the big name pod streamers can't find popular podcasts.
It's also one of the easiest to run, and easiest on the eyes!

I use DoggCatcher and love it. Tons of options, works great on ICS 4.0.4 (Droid RAZR MAXX) and a nice feature is I can skip ahead or backwards in podcasts (jumped by a set interval) by pushing the SKIP and PREV buttons on my car stereo. (When connected via Bluetooth)
No battery issues -- has onscreen playback controls on the lock screen and notification bar (native ICS) and I set it to only download podcasts at night when the phone is connected to power.
I use AntennaPod - it is free and minimalistic

Breaks my heart that AntennaPod isn't in development any more.

I've fooled around with BeyondPod Beta but it's left me cold. Any other open source solutions out there?
OK guys, check this out. I use iTunes, period. I have no qualms about it. But, until now, I haven't found an app worthy enough of Apple's own Remote app. As of the last two weeks, a new remote has appeared in our market that blows Apple's out of the water, and it's FREE. It's called Retune, and I have no connection to the dev whatsoever.
It follows Android's holo theme to a tee, simply beautifully. It includes even more functionality than even Apple's app in that it controls not only your entire music collection (playlist, genres, even composers), but also your entire video collection, including rentals. It can even browse iTunes own radio section. Separate volume sliders for all Apple airplay devices included. Start genius based on a song is also present. This app has a 4.9 rating so far, and I can't believe it doesn't have more downloads than it does. While it doesn't have a widget yet, it does have a nice album art notification center just like Google's Play Music app.

Ok so, i'm completely new to app developing, and i know a small amount of coding (python, some java) and i got real tired of the Play Music app displaying bad quality album art, all the other apps on the market look bad or just have "too much" so to speak. So i thought why don't i just make my own app? i was thinking of making it look kind of like the ios 6/7 music player since it looks really nice and straight forward, but i don't know if i should start from scratch or use an open source music app and start from there? and if possible for someone to tell me if its gonna be a pain in the bottom. if you guys know of or have an app that resembles what i am looking for, it would be kind of you to provide it
I am on a Moto X running 4.4.2
any input is appreciated!
thanks!
if you have some knowledge from java.you need use a music player open resource and edit,reskin that you own.
