Best music player for note 2 ?

Does poweramp have any kind of sync feature?
I've been using DoubleTwist for this reason... but doubletwist won't stream the metadata over bluetooth. The trial version of poweramp did but I couldn't seem to find an easy way to sync playlists with my pc. Maybe the paid version does?

I just copy/paste, from my PC to phone, using Estrong's File Explorer via wi-fi.

PowerAmp doesn't have a sync feature, but you can still sync with DoubleTwist and use PowerAmp to listen. You should be able to sync the playlists with DoubleTwist and use them on PowerAmp, but I couldn't say for sure.

Power amp is very good. I used Double twist to sync and rescue my music from itunes hell. Then Power Amp to blast it.

Several threads about this topic, but, "Thirded"...not to be confused with "Sweded".

Pretty much. I've been using it for over 2 years since I had the Evo. It works flawlessly and the paid version is worth it.

Poweramp is hands down the best music player I've used on Android, since I first moved over. At first, I didn't want a paid music app because the stock music player I had on my original EVO was working perfectly fine, but as soon as I decided I wanted to use my phone as a media player and listen to music in my car, that's when the situation changed.

Because of some mentions about DoubleTwist having sync capabilities, I might look into using that, just to sync up the music files and folders I have on my microSD, specifically for my phone.

Can poweramp go back on tracks when the phone is locked and I am using headphones? I asked this same question before on a separate thread but never got an answer. The stock music player can only go forward on tracks, but not go to previous tracks when using a headphone button. Its freaking annoying having to unlocked my phone and do it manually.

Yes. There's a setting where you can have Power Amp lockscreen activated, which gives you forward, back, and play (as normal), when the player is on.

I use widgetlocker, so I don't really use the Poweramp lockscreen anymore (I just activate the notification bar functions and can control it from there). Widgetlocker allows you to access the notification bar, which the stock lockscreen does not.
