Best Music/Media Player App

Playlists... this for me is the big question... Meridian and some other players will recognize an m3u playlist that I make on my laptop but if I make any changes to the playlist on the phone... none of these changes show up when I send the m3u playlist back to the laptop.

I feel sorry for all the people out there making playlists on their android phones and they do not realize that they may never have access to their phone playlists on any other laptop or device in the future.

Does anyone have any ideas??

I'm using Winamp now, and loving it. Been using Winamp on the PC for years now. Love the scrobling support too. I hope EQ comes soon.

Does anyone know if gapless playback is possible in Winamp or any other music app? If this is done I'll cream my jeans.

Read somewhere that Android only supports gapless with OGG files (since they are used for looping sounds in apps).

I was hung up on the Galaxy S default music player for a while because the UI was beautiful (it had playback controls in the notification bar and lock screen!), and it had a built-in EQ presets. I thought I'd never switch.

Then I found PowerAMP.

Down. Right. Amazing. And it's only in beta! The biggest draw is the EQ and seperate bass/treble controls. My music sounds so clear now. I didn't notice it before, but after hearing what my music should sound like through the beauty of PowerAMP, the stock player makes everything sound so muddy and blah. Then, the GORGEOUS UI is just.. well.. gorgeous! Everything from swiping album covers to skip a song, to the pop-up notifications, to the widget (that conveniently matches the SGS theme) is so clean and polished.

Seriously, I could go on about this for a while. Just go try it out. You won't be sorry.
