Best Music/Media Player App

[windsorclarenc]

I recently gave up on Google Play Music because I live in the middle of nowhere and reception is very spotty out here. Now I'm in need of a new music player. Play Music's shuffle setting always drove me nuts because it would often repeat songs right after they were done playing. Not to mention it just isn't a very nifty music player if your music isn't in the cloud.

So what music player would you recommend?

One feature I would love to see is pause upon headphone removal then resume when headphones are replugged.

Hi there one and all. I am trying to use my Galaxy GT-P1000R Tablet to play Guitar Backing Tracks which are MP3 format. Here is my delima. I have tried different players and haven't decided yet which I will use but I cannot get any of the players to stop after playing one track. I have tried Winamp, Meridian, MixZing and a few others but I cannot get any of them to stop playing after one number. They all carry on into the next number in my playlist.

Can anyone tell me how to just play one song at a time only without a second later another song starts playing. How do I stop after one song. Keep in mind I have a guitar in my hand and not able to lean over and stop the play back of the next number without hearing a few seconds of the next number.

Thanks,
Tommy

Make a playlist of just that one song in any music player. Most players can do this by long clicking on the song. Then create playlist or add to playlist. Select new playlist. Then make sure that repeat is off. Then voila, Bob's you uncle and your one song will play without repeat and only that song will play.

I use ttpod and PowerAmp the most.

I am baffled by this thread, is it the case that most people download media files then use a convertor and also a separate app just to get album artwork ?

as far as i can see my missus (iphone user) rips cd's into itunes they have album art from the database and then when she syncs the phone its all there art work too.

I downloaded Kies for my S2 expecting to do the same. oh my. I cant believe that the stock programme does not even do this. how can you compete with apple when you have to use all kinds of other software just to build up a half decent media library ?

I moved some tracks from windows media player and Kies messed up the trakclist order ? plus it didnt bring the art work across ?

Help. i just want one programme (pc software) so i can build a library with art work that i can send to my phone. I have thoushands of cd;s to rip

I've always used Nero myself.

Since your wife has an iPhone, I assume you have iTunes. iTunes is actually a good cd ripper. Just make sure to rip them in mp3 format. You seem quite concerned about album art, and iTunes will go online and get it for you. You can always add ablum art to existing mp3s with TagScanner or I think iTunes might do it too.

tuneamp

no. poweramp

Winamp Pro has a nice 10 band EQ and preamp gain. Functionally equivalent to Winamp on PC.

I've been using Double Twist Pro and overall enjoying the experience. Very user friendly and iTunes-esque. I like how it will find album art for you too.

I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S2 running Ice Cream Sandwich. Is there any way to get the standard music app to not fade in, so I can listen to tracks without fade ins/fade outs/pauses between tracks? Or will I have to get a different music app? If so, what do you recommend?

Many thanks

 

[austinfrizzell]

UberMusic is by far my favorite, although it's not free. Google Play Music is also pretty nice, plus you can listen to your music in the cloud.

 

[Speed Daemon]

I'm still holding out for VLC for Android to get out of beta!

I'll settle for Mplayer/Mencoder...

 

[Satires]

I vote for Astro player and Astro Player nova!

For internet radio I vote for Xiialive!

I bought Jet Audio Pro 1.7.0, but looking around the net I found version 1.5.0 that has BBE and BBE VIVA working. Love this player! It makes the music on my phone seem as good as my Cowon MP3 player.

Maybe you can try MX Player from Google Play.
VLC, MoboPlayer for Android, all free for you.

A question for those who've been around and tried a bunch: I'm looking for a simple music player app (or widget) that does NOT require internet permissions. Are there any? Free is good, but I don't mind paying if it's a decent app. I just want to play files from my phone, I don't want an app that's calling out to the internet for any reason.

 

[rab1412000]

It ain't easy to use and it's ui sucks but neutron has the best sq I've ever heard on my phone.
Sgs3 on stock ics rom with siyah kernel 1.5.2 and my vsonic gr07 bass.

If that bothers you could always block it thru a firewall like that found in avast or droidwall.
Or use an app like lbe privacy guard.

Try out noozy and ttpod.

I've tried a few video players but my s3 stock video player is the one I use

 

[Ih8apple]

I love poweamp. Sounds soooo much better than the Amazon one I was using. Oh, and it automatically downloads album art for you.

 

[light touch]

I like my music to sound rich and full not tinny and shrill.
Please tell me in what way do the added Music Player Apps such as PlayerPro,
MoboPlayer, Neutron, PowerAmp, MediaMonkey?, ZPlayer make a difference over the [Ace] stock music player.
Thanks,

 

[Sam P]

Try Euphony Music Playerhttps://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.picus.emp, its new and cool. They have skins, theme, and foreign language packs as well.

Hello everyone

Can anyone recommend a video player that has these features (if exist)

1. Able to Share - send video to TV (wifi, wifi-direct etc.) or send video to friends email etc..

2. Support Left / Right audio channels, NOT multi-track audio, they are different.

3. MOST IMPORTANT - Able to turn off 1 of the channel left or right, AND still have remaining sound come out of BOTH SPEAKERS.

I have tried these apps.

Moboplayer - support left/right - no sharing, sound out only 1 speaker
BSplayer - support Sharing - no left/right channel support
built-in vplayer - support sharing - no left/right support
Vplayer - support left/right but No Sharing
Dice Player doesn't look like it has channel or sharing either
Buzz Player - don't have free version to try
Dice Player - No left/right channel and sharing support
MxPlayer - No left/right channel support or sharing
and a couple other I've tried too that totally cut off 1 side of speaker.


what I'm trying to do is play youtube (asian karaoke files) and want to be able to turn off vocal on one of the channels and have the music come out of both speakers instead of totally cut off 1 side of the speaker.
there is an app on IOS that does it but ONLY avail on IOS. (already ask for Adroid version but they have no plan)

thanks
p.s - my last phone was apple, now using GS3

Quick thoughts:

Playerpro: powerful, great dsp manager, and it supports native HTC sound effects! DSP is great for equalizing music, but for actual sound clarity, SRS and Dolby are the best (same goes for beats, but playerpro doesn't support it)

HTC Sense stock music: awesome with it's equalizer. People say Beats and SRS is over rated, and a dsp manager can make up for it, but in my opinion a DSP by itself is best if you have great headphones and you play high quality music or something. But if you don't (like me), the equalizer options do magic.

MIUI music: best stock sound I've heard, and the equalizer is a nice touch (only 6 bands though, enough for me though)

Noozy: great sound effects, and if you're on CM or if you have a universal DSP manager, then it'll be great. free too.
Zplayer: Pretty much the same as noozy, but apparently noozy was a rip off of it. This one is payed though, but if it's anything like noozy, then it's probably worth it (thanks elpresidente)

Neutron music player: crazy options and effects. It's a little heavier on the battery usage in my opinion, and I'm not pick enough with my music to really need so powerful an app, but if you're an audiophile then you might want to look into this.
