well, the "jungle" of mp3-player software for android is pretty big....
i'm currently using https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mp3songs.mp3player.mp3cutter.ringtonemaker
on my smartwatch. (2", 320x240) https://www.sunsky-online.com/view/242836/An1 GSM Smart Watch Phone.htm
i have a 32gb micro-sd inserted and 3000+ mp3s on it.
The stated player somehow works, but sometimes it skips songs (when playing shuffle and song 1 is ended, he tries to load track 2 and it's shown, but he only starts the first millisecond and skips to song 3 and sometimes 4, etc, which is pretty annoying when you want uninterrupted playback) or takes ages to skip a song manually and in some rare occasions the player plain stops working (not responding, have to close manually).
Basically all i need is a player, that is:
capable of handling 3000+ songs with shuffle.
no visual battery/performance drainers like visualization etc.
integration in the home/lock screen,
skippable via bluetooth buttons (volume +/-) would be nice, too
low memory and cpu usage
free
maybe adjustable playback cache.
i don't need internet features, lyrics, album display.
Any recommendations?

Please help! my Windows Media Player on Treo 750 plays only 5 secs of each track ( MP3) and then moves to the next track. It seems like its in some kind of intro mode. I did remove the whole libaray and even went so far hard rest it. But it didn't help. Media player options have no intro mode for me to disable.
Is there a player out there that will pause only for phone calls? When I had a hero, the player worked great...would only pause for phone calls or if I was using navigator and a new turn was coming up. Since getting an Evo, the player pauses for everything, often times, I can't even tell what caused the pause in the music, just something that hit the processor I suppose.
I dont have a suggestion, but totally agree with you. I wish all music apps would allow us to have settings for Notifications, Phone Calls, Navigations, etc. It is sadly overlooked on all the media players that I have tried so far.
If you went to download a music player and then saw it say "controls phone,data,mms,internet,sd card, and had root. Most people would be worried fo ssecurity to download such an app. Its not attractive when an app practicaly needs ur entire phone open to use.
Voodoo sound has a Mod to disable all those notifications if I'm not mistaken.
Hey guys, I've posted this inside of a thread in the Nexus 4 forums before, but no-one else seemed to have this issue. It seems to persist in the Nexus 5. Essentially what's happening is my music levels stay low after a notification sound plays while my music is on pause. Should a different notification play after I've resumed playback, the music levels get restored to original levels. Maybe a list will outline what happens better than typing it out:
1. Listening to music
2. Pause music for any reason
3. Notification sound plays while music is paused
4. Resume music playback
5. The music levels are low, meaning I must ramp up the volume to achieve same sound level (for the Media sound slider only!)
6. Another notification comes in while music is playing again
7. Immediately after notification sound ends, music levels get restored to original, louder state

Now, what normally happens when a notification sound plays during the playback of music, is the music levels drop, the notification sound plays, and then the music levels return to their normal levels. When this issue happens, the music levels don't come back up if the music is on pause, even after un-pausing and re-pausing the music, meaning that there should be an event firing right after the notification sound that isn't, when the music is paused. Can anyone else try to recreate this? What could be the cause of this? Any solution? If it makes any difference, I've only been able to test with Pandora for music and Hangouts and Google Voice app for notifications.
Oh, here are some more observations that I've noticed that are important and almost forgot to mention:
1. This happens only if I have a song queued on Pandora. That means having Pandora open and have a song already playing, then pause it. I can't just boot up my phone, receive a notification, and the Media sound levels will be low.
2. The levels fix themselves not only upon another notification paying while music playback has resumed, it also comes back upon the end of the song. Once a new song is downloaded from Pandora and starts playing, the levels fix themselves.
3. The levels also fix themselves if I force quit Pandora while the music levels are down. Does this mean it's an issue with Pandora?
4. Probably goes without saying, but I can fix them by rebooting my phone.

Hello,
I use a pair of true wireless Soul X-shock earphones to listen to seminars when out jogging etc using background playback. (Samsung Galaxy S7 and MX Player Pro)
The play/pause function (on the earphones) works as it should if there is less than an approx 5 minute delay between button presses...
However, when the video is pause is longer than 5 minutes I find the resume function on my earphones no longer operate and background playback of the video is completely halted.
Not only that, when resuming playback on my phone screen and then pressing the home button or lock screen the video does not play in the background as it should.
I have found the only way to remedy this is to force quit MX Player Pro directly and start it up again. That way the background playback function behaves like normal again.
The problem also happens immediately if I put my ear phones back into the charging case and take them out to use them again.
I am able to use spotify without issue taking my ear phones on and off but MX Player Pro behaves very differently.
I have also noticed the background playback for MX Player Pro on the notifications bar gets killed after about 5 minutes of no playback, requiring a full restart of the app before it can come back again.
I have already added MX Player Pro to the power saving exceptions list but the issue still happens.
Is there anyway to fix this via settings or via new update?

Thanks for your feedback. When you pause the playback manually, MX Player will no longer use the foreground service. So, the system may kill the app to reclaim the resources if it is required for some other process. Once it's killed by the system, it may not be able to receive the media button controls. So, you can't resume the playback from the headset. However, everything should work as expected when you open the app again. If you found any abnormal behaviour, kindly provide us with more info so that we can investigate it further for you.
I’m having a couple of consistent, frustrating issues with the app on my phone. I have the current version of the app and it’s up to date but both of these issues have existed for me for some time across multiple updates.
Firstly, there seems to be a consistent playback problem when playing from my own device as opposed to a streaming service. I’ll select a song from a playlist and it’ll normally play fine but then 90% of the time at the end of the song, it will encounter an error as opposed to playing the next song. It will then either stop for some reason keep working down the playlist but skip multiple songs with an error message before finally playing one much further down the playlist after a long pause.
Secondly, regardless of whichever music service I am playing from, Sonos will quite often just disappear from my notification bar and I won’t be able to control volume without going into the app. So usually when starting to play something, Sonos will be in my notification bar or lock screen and if I press the volume key, I’ll be able to adjust the Sonos group volume without going back into the app. Frequently though, the notification banner will just disappear (even though the song/podcasts are still playing) and when I click on the volume, Sonos will not be an option to adjust.
Both of these issues have occurred for me across different Android devices. Any suggestions for how to fix them?
