What's a good music player app?

Install the app "Car Home Ultra". I used the free version, then purchased this. In the car docks settings, there is the feature to keep screen on when in dock mode. Also, there is a feature to "over ride" home key, so that when phone is docked, home key takes you to main key of Car Home.

Lots of options.

Thats a great APPS! Gonna use it for a bit before I buy it but looks like just what I was looking for. Nice big buttons which makes it very motorcycle friendly.
Thank you so much!
 
Which player remembers where you left off? I listen to a lot of long podcasts in the car and when I try to come back to where I left off, it's been starting over from the beginning. Very annoying.
 
Out all the ones I tried....even some here I never heard before this thread...like Neutron that I liked..

I keep going back to PowerAMP just for the widget. I like how it can skip forwards/backwards for tracks and folders. And its a minimalistic widget. All I really need is play, pause, forwards, backwards. As long as I can select the main music screen from the song title, I'm good.

I do need something where I can edit the playlist easy tho.... For that reason I keep multiple music apps and playlist apps on my phone. I need to settle on one good one for playlist editing tho.
 
according to me a good music player is something that renders the music perfectly and does not eat battery badly.
i commute long distances and i have used winamp and poweramp during those trips ! but my phone died in about 7 hours listening straight to them , but i tried ttpod and it came for around 16 hours (am not kidding!!! try it and see for yourself!) and the ui is english now...but i miss scrobbling as ttpod has no scrobbler support but plays all file types including .flac and .ace and I am able to stack up my playlist upto 4000 songs without the app force closing, something that always happens in winamp and poweramp !
the guys who wrote the coding for ttpod should seriously get an award.
reminds me of the dialogue from Real Steel "Japanese bootlegs are always better!"
 
Yea as most people I have downloaded Poweramp and I find it amazing brilliant i would go with myself and others and get poweramp any other apps like: Ubermusic , and double twist are RUBBISH! Hope this helps :)
 
I like 'android Tom Player' for 3 reasons
1. Supports all media files
2. Easy way to add lyrics to an mp3 files
3. Simple yet elegant design
check it out
 
every gadget ive owned i just went with the stock player... until i got a nexus 7 a while back, its stock player is google play... as i dont have the time to upload the 1000's of songs i have to another cloud service, not to mention i dont know how google would feel about me uploading all those songs without any purchase from their music store... especially since 90% of the songs were downloaded online or with apps that ride that grey area of legality...

anyway, on my nexus 7, mixzing was the first music player i tried... at first glance i thought it was great... i never really used it though... a few months have passed, im using it more, and find that i dont like it... it makes itself more complicated than need be, and has ads like crazy....

ive tried some of the players mentioned in this thread, but they all seem to be trial/ pay apps...

anyone know of a good, simple player without ads... all i expect is play, shuffle, and the ability to make playlists.... icing on the cake would be an equalizer, id3 tag editor, and cover art downloader... any of those would free up a few apps...
 
Glad you like it. Was the first app (before it was even called "3") I out on my Original Droid. Felipe (developer) is very responsive if you have questions or suggestions.
 
I have looked a lot into music players and what I have discovered is that...

Don't use the stock. It is missing support for many codecs such as FLAC which is my personal favorite.

PowerAmp is no doubt the best...

It has an EQ and so many more cool features. It was able to play almost any file that I threw at it even FLAC. You should really look into it if your serious for music playing on your android. Then again, if you were a serious music fan then you probaly would not use your Android device to listen to music anyways.
