best music player??

i was using "3" for a while but i was messing around with the stock player today and i discovered something.

no need to bypass the lock screen to get to the music player!

when you press the power button to turn the phone on, the music player is right there. no lock screen. although, its actually the stock player for milestone with the cover flow after a root, but still. this is awesome.

Which ROM are you running in order to get this?
I'm on BB 1.0 (2.0.1) and I thought it had the Milestone player, but maybe not?
Please explain more.

This is a bug/ "feature" of the coverflow 2.0.1 music player ported from the Milestone.

It's an option in the Droidmod ROM, I think, but it first came from Pete's BB ROMs (though it's no longer an option, I believe).

Anyways, this is only for the Milestone player, and it only works if your screen locks while the player is up in the now playing screen.

As for the best music player IMO, it is "3"

well if this really is a bug then it must be the best bug ever because it is so useful. hate having to unlock the screen every time just to skip a track.

but anyway, I'm usiing sholes 2.0.6.

Hi Everyone,

I have just developed an app called bTunes Music Player. It's in the market. Try it out and let me know what you think. Suggestions welcome. Thanks.

yeah i was finally gonna settle with this app
cuz it's so similiar to the itouch/iphone music (which everyone is very used to)
but it lists the songs in alphabetical order under albums
i can't stand that for some reason lol
i think tha'ts the only downside of it

Thanks for trying it out, I have fixed the album sorting and in the next update you will have the option of sorting them by track number or alphabetically.

A few suggestions:
1. when the headphones are removed the song should pause like the stock player
2. when paused you should still be able to change the media volume
3.the open on menu option doesnt work for me
4. maybe have color options to make it fit in with the phone a little more. i like the interface, but would like more android style
5. need a widget bad. I absolutely need a widget to use while driving

kinda old thread but heres another suggestion
i did the update and the songs are in the album order instead of the alphabetical order which made it soooo much better
but one thing that bugs me
whenever im browsing through artists and everytime you press the back button, it takes you back all the way to the top of the artist list, rather than taking you back to where you were
could you update that??

I'll download this shortly but one of my gripes with the stock player is that it will pull all MP3 files (ie Podcasts) and I was wondering if yours allows it to only pull music files from one directory?

the best one I found so far is Mixzing. By far the best. And I've tried pretty much all of them.

Same here. After trying quite a few music players, I have found Mixzing to be the best for my needs. The album art is nice, but the band information that it downloads is pretty cool. Not sure if any other player does this or not.
