Best Music/Media Player App

[finalfantasy7]

hi, I've got the sensation, just wondering how to do this;
on the normal music player you can change tracks/ volume when the phone is on lock screen mode, but how do you do this with poweramp, saves me putting in the lock,then going into poweramp just to change tracks

MixZing has EQ with gain control that works quite well, which I find important to get even close to a good listening experience with compressed audio sources. Can be expanded to 5 frequency bands and has clipping indication by flashing red lines over the frequencies. Won't play Ogg Vorbis files like Winamp mobile but has music ID that works well.

Anyone else tried this? If so, any thoughts?

There are different things about various players that I like, but nothing has all of what I want. I mainly listen to music in my car, and I don't want to have to unlock and go through five different screens to be able to change albums/folders or switch to shuffle.

One of the things I like about PowerAmp is that it's got two forward buttons on the widget, one to go to the next track, one to go to the next folder. Ideally, I'd love to see a player with that, plus a shuffle button, with Music Beta intergration, a lock screen widget, and customization of appearance (I like pink, I want glowy pink widgets on my phone, and this is Android, dang it, so I should be able to do that). I don't want lots of little extras like music discovery and the like (since I can get that through Music Beta) or little spinny cubes.

In short, I want a player that looks the way I want it to look and can safely perform multiple functions while traveling at 75mph. Six players later, I haven't found one yet. Any suggestions?

Tried Neutron MP3 on Optimus T very slow to no response, had to abandon. GUI is incredible with multiple EQ settings, will keep trying updates to see if they can streamline to make it work on smaller processors.

Hi, I'm using samsung galaxy ace, looking for free music player that can play m3u file (like when you try a song in amazon.com), any suggestion?
Also looking for alarm that works even when the phone is off..any thoughts?
Thank you.

psound: m3u is a playlist format type. Basically, it is a text file that contains paths to the location of the music on a device and plays them in the order given(unless you engage shuffle or something). Power Amp and I'm sure many other players can play m3u playlist files. In fact, you can build a playlist on your comp and move it to your droid and your music player should pick it automatically. I don't know if amazon plays it's music from an m3u playlist, but it is mp3 once you download it anyway.

Oh, if it wasn't obvious, I am a Power Amp user. I will try that Neutron mentioned though, always looking for the best.

Just bought Samsung Galaxy S 2 which is my third Android device after the iPhone era. have been using PowerAmp all the time and am guite pleased with it.
However, I'm missing the volume leveling function of the iPod. Any idea if there is an Android player that has it?

Edit; by volume leveling I mean a normalizer that evens out the volume of different tracks.

I'm currently running Winamp, I think it is the best (free) music player out there.

 

[angelacat]

PlayerPro for my music. Act1 video player for videos. Both of these are great and really worth the money.

That's it? I would like to use freeware application and also has decent features to play videos or music on my phone.

 

[Remeniz]

I use PowerAMP Pro and Mobo Player.

 

[Clevo89]

other than poweramp I've tried this and it's great generally but not the best when it comes to bluetooth controls....with the other music players being mentioned what's their bluetooth settings like?

I have a bluetooth headset. (Sony MW600)

Quick heads up about a major update for PowerAMP, presently in beta!

FINALLY my SGSII can read genre tags properly (previously EVERY player took its tag reading from the systems way of reading tags, resulting in genre tags being messed up which really bugs me as I predominantly like to listen by shuffling a genre! FLAC tags also now work properly).

I would love to find something like this, too.

Damn, bro! The android market is full of apps that'll stream FM radio stations to your phone. The tricky part is finding one that'll "tune in" to radio stations using the phones built in FM receiver. Or at least one that doesn't use data connections to download stuff. I have one user that has this exact issue. The ROM she is using doesn't have a Radio app. All I can find are online. But she doesn't have a unlimited data plan and even at a lowly 64k, the MB on her plan would be wiped out in now time.

If you can't find an app that does this, you can always do what I do...

Since I do some deejaying, I like to run all my songs thru MP3 Gain in order to ensure that all my tracks are leveled and that I shouldn't have to adjust the gain knobs for that very reason. If you were to do this, you wouldn't need to worry about the app needing a built-in normalizer. The default is to 89db; although I set my default to 95db.

I use PowerAMP Pro and Mobo Player.

I also use same. Both are good players

I just switched from PlayerPro to PowerAmp recently. The improvement in sound quality can't be understated. Truly awesome app.

 

[rushmore]

Poweramp seems the best so far, since has preamp/gain features that use the hardware (hard to fake the function via software/cpu). Also other audio tasks besides an EQ.

If an audio fan, worth the five bucks. Razr now sounds as good as my iPod 4, which is a good thing.

 

[jikhead]

Hmm...I think PlayerPro sounds better than PowerAmp to me; at least for the music I listen to (mostly electronica). However, I don't like the fact that the "resume play when headphones are plugged in" feature isn't working...which works fine in PowerAmp. I do prefer the interface in PlayerPro...I think it's much cleaner.

I recently got the Galaxy Nexus and was wondering what would be the best video player for it? I tried Moboplayer but it keeps telling me to download a certain plugin (armv7 neon) which i have tried to download, but it still won't let me get past this initial screen. Thanks, i may just be ****ing something up but this is my first smartphone so i don't have much of a clue.
