I have a Moto Droid running 2.1. I like the stock music player well enough, but I was hoping to find something with a bit more by way of controls. More specifically, does anyone know if there is a music player in the market that might have an on board equalizer (EQ presets) and volume control?

Give 'Astro Player Beta' a try from the Android market.

Even though it's still a beta it has the makings of being THE Android music player as it has a built in EQ and low memory usage. The developer is a friendly guy and is due to implement EQ presets soon as well as a more precise way of altering the custom ones.

Give it a try :p

cool. Thanks man. I'll check that one out. do you know if it has volume control built in or is the rocker still the way to go?

No built in volume control sadly :(.

If you do give it a try I recommend changing the player skin to one of the others rather than leaving it on the default as it's really fiddly to flick through a song...it put me off the player at first until I discovered the other more finger friendly skins.
